GALA CAMBRIDGE

Saturday Harvard Square blossomed forth with what appeared to be only its fall decoration, judging from the little effect it had on daily business. Now it has transpired that sedate and conservative Cambridge is to have a birthday party with a big parade and everything. The Cambridge which we took for granted now reminds us that it, too, was young--and Wednesday is to be the gala day. Columbus and Cambridge are to be honored together; Cambridge for her seventy-fifth anniversary as a city and Columbus for his four hundred and twenty-ninth as a discoverer. And so the citizens have appropriately hung out their bunting and rejoiced.

The University extends its hearty congratulations to the city and its sincere desire for the success of the celebration.
