"TO THY JUBILEE THRONG"

With the announcement yesterday of the undergraduate plans for Harvard's big birthday party next September, the celebration is beginning to assume its proper magnitude in the eyes of the students. It is unfortunate that up to the present time most of the plans which have been released to the public have been of such sedate and dignified character that many students have never fully realized the true nature of the affair.

The undergraduate committee has withdrawn every possible question mark from the minds of students. Harvard's birthday celebration will be in the best tradition of birthday celebrations with the happy exception that both fun and sentiment are to be magnified a thousandfold. Tears will be shed and Bacchus will sneak from his vineclad retreat to mingle quietly and not so quietly with revellers disposed to entertain him. And justly so. Such an affair merits the profoundest dignity, the tenderest sentiment, along with the most care free jubilation that those concerned can muster.

As the love for learning and for Harvard in the minds and hearts of those who have gone before manifests itself in the swelling Tercentenary fund, the enthusiasm for the joyous occasion will become electric in the undergraduate atmosphere. The announcement of such carefully worked out and such intelligent plans is gratifying evidence that Harvard will have a birthday party worthy an institution so respected and well beloved by its sons.
