The annual Memorial Day service in memory of the Harvard men who died in the Civil War, will be held in Sanders Theatre at 12 o'clock tomorrow.

This will be followed by the oration, which will be delivered by the Hon. John Read of the class of '62. The services will close with the singing of "America" by the Glee Club, and a benediction by Mr. Crothers.
