Commencement festivities will reach a climax today with Class Day exercises in the House triangle and in the Stadium. Nearly 8000 graduates and friends are expected to attend the rites and to march in the mile long parade to Soldier's Field.

The class of 1911 will head the huge parade, one of the most spectacular events of the week when the reunionist classes will be dressed in spectacular costumes.

The day's events will start at 11.30 o'clock in back of Winthrop House with Willard L. Sperry, dean of the Divinity School offering prayer. This will be followed by the Class Oration of Arthur G. Sullivan '36. The Class Poem and Ode will then be given by Francis J. Whitfield and Lewis Perry, Jr. with Gordon F. Robertson winding up the exercises as Chorister.

Lunch will be served in the Houses after which the parade will form for the Stadium where they will be met by the welcoming cheers. Roy W. Winsauer '36, will start the fete there with the Ivy Oration, and it will be finished by the singing of Fair Harvard and the confetti batle.

The parade will reform after the confetti is all thrown away to march to the baseball stands to see the second in the Harvard-yale series, the first of which was played yesterday.

In the evening there will be a concert and dancing in the Houses until 1 o'clock.
