SATURDAY DAY OF ANNUAL PHI BETA KAPPA EXERCISES

This Saturday the Harvard Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa will celebrate its one hundred and fiftieth anniversary, with delegates from all the chapters of the United States invited to be present at the exercises to be held at noon in Sanders Theatre. The President of the Chapter, Mr. Justice William Cushing Wait '82, will preside.

A commemorative oration will be delivered by Paul Shorey '78, professor of Greek, Emeritus, at the University of Chicago. Professor Shorey will speak on the subject "American Loyalties." Hermann Hagedorn Esquire '07, will read a poem entitled "The Three Pharaohs." Keys for the newly elected members of the Harvard chapter will be presented by President Lowell.

Music for the exercises on Saturday, which will commence at noon, will be furnished by members of the University choir, under the direction of A. T. Davison '06. The choir will sing the Harvard Hymn, by John Knowles Paine, "Adoramus Te," by Palestrina, and "To God on High be Thanks and Praise" by Decius.

The second gallery of the Theatre will be open to the students of the University and of Radcliffe College and to the public. Immediately after the public exercises, members of the Harvard chapter, delegates, and guests will lunch in Memorial Hall. Mr. Justice Wait will act as toastmaster, while President Lowell will be among the speakers.

The following members of last year's Junior eight group are to serve as ushers on Saturday: Garrett Birkhoff '32, H. L. Bisbee '32, D. D. Boyen '32, Charles Brenner '32, R. U. Jameson '32, D. H. Popper '32, W. B. Wood Jr. '32, and P. M. Zoll '32.

For the exercises, members of the other chapters will be seated on the floor of the Theatre in the space reserved for the Harvard Chapter. Those men may obtain tickets for reserved seats in the first gallery of the Theatre for friends, and tickets to the luncheon in Memorial Hall at $2.50 each for themselves and friends, men or women, from the corresponding secretary of the Harvard Chapter, Professor W. G. Howard '91, 91 Garden Street, Cambridge. Requests for tickets to the luncheon must be made today at the latest, and must be accompanied by checks made payable to S. T. Gano, treasurer. Tickets will be mailed at a later date to the applicants.

In the Widener Treasure Room at present in consequence of the Society's anniversary a collection of Phi Beta Kappa antiques is on exhibition. Chief among those relies is the charter of the Harvard Chapter with the interesting footnote to the effect that "the eleventh aricle (dealing with the superiority of the central body) shall be rised (erased) as far as regards the superiority of this society (the branch at William and Mary, founders of the order) over that at Cambridge." The treasurer's account book of 1797 tells of a fund to aid distressed brethren; while a photostat copy of the original description of the key and the original manuscript of Thomas Hooper's address in 1790 complete the collection.

The following men of the Class of 1933 form this year's Junior Eight; these men will be initiated on Saturday along with 32 members of the Class of 1932; the eight juniors are as follows: Sidney Cohen '33, H. C. Hatfield '33, W. A. Huppuch '33, Richard Inglis, Jr. '33, K. W. McMahan '33, Peter Shuebrook '33, A. E. Taylor '33, and B. A. Winter '33. Next year this group will select the members from the Classes of 1933 and 1934
