After planning Harvard Club banquets for over a quarter of a century, Steward Thomas P. Jones will be unable to supervise the Alumni dinner taking place in Boston today at 6:30 o'clock. He will spend the last night of his career as steward, in the hospital, nursing a broken ankle, acquired Thursday.

Connected with the Club for 28 years, Jones's retirement is effective tomorrow. Tonight's dinner, the banquet for the visiting graduates, would have been a fitting climax to his long managership.
