At 10 o'clock the Chapel will be open for those having tickets; no others being admitted until the class have entered.

At 10.15 the Senior class reassemble in front of Holworthy Hall, and march to the Chapel, where the exercises will last nearly two hours. At the conclusion of the exercises in the Chapel the class will march to Boylston Hall, where the Ivy Oration will be delivered.

From 3 to 5 there will be music on the Green, and dancing in Memorial Hall.

At 5.15 the class will reassemble in front of Holworthy Hall, march through the Yard, cheer the buildings, and go through the usual exercises at the Tree, where the Class Song will be sung.

At 5 Harvard Hall and Holden Chapel will be open for those having seats at the windows.

The entrance to the seats around the Tree will be between Holden Chapel and Hollis Hall, and will be open at 5. After the exercises at the Tree, and during the remainder of the evening, a ticket will be required of every gentleman, or of gentlemen accompanied by ladies, entering the portion of the Yard enclosed by the rope. These tickets are not to be given up on entering the Yard, but merely to be shown to the officer.

The entrances to the roped-off portion of the Yard will be at the end of Massachusetts, between Grays and Weld, and Thayer and Holworthy.

From the close of the exercises at the Tree till 9, the President will receive the class and their friends at his house; no gentleman will be admitted without a ticket.

No person will be admitted to the church (before the class), or to the exercises at the Tree, without a reserved seat; and no gentleman to Memorial Hall, the President's Reception, or the Yard in the evening, without a ticket.

All Seniors and students are obliged to have tickets.

Those Seniors who do not call for their tickets before Wednesday, June 21, will forfeit their claim to them.

All Seniors are requested to appear in dress-suits, black hats, white cravats, and white gloves, and also to appear in the same dress on Commencement, Wednesday, June 28.

Seniors are most earnestly requested to avoid any absurdity of dress at the exercises around the Tree, for upon the good order and gentlemanly conduct of the Seniors this year depends the future continuance of the "Dancing round the Tree." They are also asked to use discretion in the distribution of the tickets to the Yard.

No carriages or teams will be allowed in the Yard after 12 M., and none will be allowed to stand in the Yard at any time.

All students are requested to be careful that all windows and doors on the back side of the dormitories are closed and fastened during the evening.

In order to carry out their plans, and render the roping in of the Yard effectual, the Committee ask the class to conform strictly to the above arrangements.
