MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES

Monday at 12 in Sanders Theatre.--Col. T. W. Higginson '41 to Speak.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The annual Memorial Day exercises to commemorate the Harvard men who died in the Civil and Spanish wars, will be held in Sanders Theatre at 12 o'clock today. Until 11.50 o'clock the seats will be reserved for the University, but after this time will be open to the public.

For the past two years the address at the exercises has been given by one of the students of the University, but this has been found inadvisable for the present year. Today Mr. Austen G. Fox '89 will deliver the address. Mr. Fox is a prominent lawyer of New York, a member of the Committee of Fifteen, and one who contributed largely to the success of the last municipal campaign.

The procession to Sanders Theatre, headed by the Charles Beck G.A.R. Post and officers of the University will start from before University Hall at 11.45 o'clock, the officers having assembled in the Faculty Room of University Hall at 11.30 o'clock and the classes in the Yard, the Seniors with caps and gowns, at 11.30 o'clock. The Charles Beck Post will hold a short service in the transept while the College officers and students take their seats in the Theatre, after which the Grand Army veterans will take seats reserved for them. The services will be opened with a prayer by the Rev. Prescott Evarts St. Rector of Christ Church, Cambridge, during which the audience will stand. Then will follow the singing of "Fair Harvard," led by the Glee Club. The address will then be delivered by Mr. Fox, who will be introduced by the presiding officer, R. Pier '03. The service will close with the singing of "America." The G.A.R. Post will pass out first followed by the rest of the audience.

The head marshal of the exercises will be J. E. Switzer '03, and the other marshals will be S. Blaikie '03, J. A. Burgess '04, R. W. Leatherbee '05, and J. M. Montgomery, Jr., '06. The following men will act as ushers in Sanders Theatre: A. F. Nazro '03, R. W. Page '03, G. Frantz '03, R. W. Child '03, R. W. Ficke '03, A. D. Ficke '04, S. B. Parker '04, R. C. Ware '04, S. A. Welldon '04, and W. R. Bowie '04.

The marshals should report in front of University Hall at 11.30 o'clock and the others in Sanders Theatre at the same time.
