ANNOUNCE PLANS OF PHI BETA KAPPA DAY

Professor Joseph Henry Beale '82 of the Harvard Law School will be Orator, and Odell Shepard, professor of English at Trinity College, will be Poet at the annual Phi Beta Kappa day program on Monday, June 15. William Cushing Wait '82 of Medford, president of the Harvard Phi Beta Kappa chapter, will preside over the meeting, which is being held early in Commencement Week to avoid conflict with Yale.

The program for the day will start with a business meeting at 10 o'clock in Emerson Hall, to be followed at 11.30 o'clock by public exercises in the Sanders Theatre. The chapter members will march from Emerson to Sanders Theatre marshaled by two under-graduates, Arnold Louis Kowarsky '31, and David Demarest Lioyd '31. At the public exercises the speeches for the day will be delivered, and at the same time the last 25 men to be chosen from the graduating class will be inducted into the society. For perhaps the last time, the dinner will be held in the Harvard Union, shortly after 1 o'clock.

The Phi Beta Kappa honor fraternity was established at Harvard in 1781, so the meeting this year will partake of the nature of a one hundred fiftieth reunion. However, the official sesquicentennial birthday party will take place on December 4 or 5, the actual anniversary of the founding. The Harvard chapter is the third oldest in the date of establishment, the William and Mary and Yale chapters having slightly anteceded it.
