Commencement Day Plans.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Plans have now been made for Commencement Day, which comes this year on Wednesday, June 25. President Roosevelt '80 expects to be present and will probably be one of the speakers at the Alumni dinner.

The House Committee of the Union has voted to extend the privileges of the Union to all Harvard men. There will be an overflow meeting for all graduates who do not go to the Commencement dinner in Memorial Hall. A glee club of graduates will sing in the rotunda and several impromptu speeches will be made.

The Yard will be enclosed by a fence both morning and afternoon and tickets will be required for admission. Only holders of degrees, officers of the University, guests of the Corporation and students will be admitted. Officers of the University may obtain tickets on and after June 18, at the Treasurer's office, 50 State street, Boston, between 10 and 2 o'clock, at the offices of the Deans of the Medical, Dental and Bussey Schools, or in Cambridge at 16 University Hall. Tickets cannot be sent by mail. Tickets will be distributed to graduates by the Deans of the various schools on Monday, June 23, as follows: Graduate School, University 10, 9 to 12 o'clock; Bussey Institution, Dean's office, 9 to 12 o'clock; Dental School, Room A, 9 to 12 o'clock; Medical School, Faculty Room, 10 o'clock; Law School, North Lecture Room, 9 to 12 o'clock; Divinity School, Library, 12. Application must be made in person and the tickets are not transferable.

The Commencement exercises will be held in Sanders Theatre at 10 o'clock. The President and Fellows, Overseers and Faculties will meet the invited guests and Alumni of the University at Massachusetts Hall at 9.30 o'clock and, escorted by the candidates for degrees, will proceed to Sanders Theatre. After the procession has entered the theatre the public will not as heretofore be admitted. The candidates for degrees in gowns will assemble at 9.30 o'clock as follows: All speakers and candidates for the degree of A.B. near the east end of Holworthy; candidates for S.B., A.M., S.M., and S.D. in front of Stoughton; candidates for B.A.S., D.M.D., M.D., LL.B., and S.T.B. in front of Hollis Hall. Candidates for degree need tickets to the Yard but not to Sanders Theatre. A limited number of tickets to the exercises will be given to candidates for their friends, but there will probably not be enough for everyone. For cut of about 1200 seats, 600 are reserved for candidates and over 200 are given to the Corporation, Overseers, and members of the Faculties. These tickets will be assigned to the various schools in proportion to the number of candidates in each school on Monday, June 23, at the time and place of the distribution of tickets to the Yard. Not more than one ticket will be given to any applicant.

After the exercises in Sanders Theatre the Association of the Alumni will hold its business meeting. The Commencement dinner will be held as usual in Memorial Hall at 2.30 o'clock. The Board of Overseers will meet in the morning and during the day an election will be held of new Overseers to fill the vacancies of those going out of office.
