A program of Commemorative Exercises for Memorial Day has been arranged by the University Memorial Society. They will be held in Sanders Theatre on Friday morning, May 30th, at 11.30 o'clock. Ex-Governor Augusts E. Willson '69, of Kentucky, will deliver an address, and Professor Jefferson B. F. Fletcher '87, of Columbia University will recite an appropriate poem. The Reverend Professor Albert P. Fitch '00, of Amherst College, will conduct the opening prayers, and it is expected that Major Henry Lee Higginson '55, will preside. Selections will also be rendered by the University Choir.
The University Memorial Society has been entrusted with all arrangements for the occasion by the Corporation and will invite the families of all members of the University who have lost their lives in the great war. The services are to be especially commemorative of these men. All officers and graduates of the University are invited to be present, particularly the surviving Harvard veterans of the Civil War, as well as the Charles Beck Post, G. A. R.
The presence of University men who have lately been or are still, in the military or naval service of the country, is especially desired, to do honor to the memory of their comrades, and it is requested that they come in uniform. A part of Sanders Theatre, will be reserved for the general public.
