Joysome tidings reached the ears of hundreds of students supporting the Harvard Thanksgiving Day Committee yesterday in the form of an announcement by Roy L. Westcott, manager of the University dining halls, that a complete turkey dinner will be served Thanksgiving night, this coming Thursday.
Three thousand pounds of milk-fed turkey flesh have been collected from farms in Montana, the Dakotas, and Wisconsin, and are being rushed via special refrigerator cars to Cambridge. This season's gobblers are unusually large, ranging from 16 to 18 pounds apiece, and in the words of Westcott, are "check full of white meat."
Turkey on November 30
Westcott explained that his decision to serve turkey this Thursday was made to enable every student to have a Thanksgiving dinner. "Of course," Westcott added, "we shall serve another regular Thanksgiving dinner on November 30."
Spokesmen for the H.T.D.C. (Harvard Thanksgiving Day Committee) jubilantly interpreted this move on the University's part as a concession to their demands that every man in the University have perfect freedom in deciding which of the two disputed days he wishes to worship as his Thanksgiving.
