The celebration of Memorial Day by the Memorial Society will include a procession, speeches by Judge H. N. Blake, LL.B. '58, and Major-General Leonard Wood, M.D. '84, in Sanders Theatre, and the usual luncheon. Promptly at 12 o'clock a procession consisting of the Harvard veterans, the Francis Beck Post, G. A. R., members of the Faculty, and students, accompanied by the Regiment, will form at Widener Library and march to Sanders Theatre. The exercises in the theatre will consist of the singing of patriotic songs, led by the Regiment Band, and speeches by Judge Blake and Major-General Wood. Following this, the veterans will be entertained at luncheon in Sanders Theatre by Major H. L. Higginson '55. Invitations are now being sent to members of the Faculty, of the Memorial Society, and Civil War veterans.

As the tablets in Memorial Hall transcept are to be draped with laurel for the occasion, the Memorial Society asks all friends to send flowers at 10 o'clock on Memorial Day, at which time a committee will be on hand to receive them.
