gether in its vast halls as the Seniors enjoy one of the more colorful of the week's festivities.

Tuesday is Class Day

Next Tuesday is Seniors' Class Day. At 8 o'clock there are religious services for Seniors only in Appleton Chapel. At 11 o'clock the Sanders Theatre exercises take place, the Seniors marching here in a body from in front of Holworthy Hall. D. W. Chapman Jr. '27 will deliver the oration at these exercises, and Pierpoint Stackpole '27 the class poem.

That afternoon in the Stadium G. McN. Gates '27 will deliver the Ivy Oration. This will be followed by cheering and singing by the Glee Club. Then the class banner will be presented to the Class of 1930, whereupon a confetti battle will try and mask the appearance of the Stadium in a Venetian carnival atmosphere.

Next Wednesday is the date of the Yale-Harvard baseball game which takes place at 3.30 o'clock at soldiers Field, where the Senior Class as well as most of the graduate classes will be represented. The graduation of the Radcliffe seniors is an important event of the day also, taking place in Sanders Theatre at 11,30 o'clock.

On Thursday the Commencement Exercises take place in Sever Quadrangle at 10 o'clock, the temporary wooden stands being at present in readiness for the services. The President and Fellows, Overseers, Faculties and other officers will meet the invited guests and Alumni of the University at Massachusetts Hall at 9,45 o'clock, and, escorted by the Candidates for Degrees, will proceed to the Sever Quadrangle. The Alumni of all classes are permitted to join the procession. They are requested to assemble in front of Massachusetts Hall and to join the President's part of the Commencement in order of seniority. In case of rain the exercises will unavoidably have to be held in Sanders Theatre, the lovely natural setting of the Sever Quadrangle unfortunately being ill-suited to outdoor exercises in inclement weather.

Friday concludes the busy week with the annual meeting of the Harvard Chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa Society in Sanders Theatre at 11.30 o'clock. Jeremiah Smith Jr. '92 is the orator of the day, and John Hall Wheelock '08 will deliver the poem. That afternoon at New London the Yale-Harvard boat race will officially terminate the college activities of the year in and outside Cambridge.
