The last civision includes Sophomores of the first group, and Juniors and Seniors of the first group who have not already received prizes.

The winners of the Bowdoin and other prizes, the men who have obtained second year and final honors, those to whom deturs are to be awarded, and the scholars of the first and second groups will be present at the meeting. The invited guests will be the Board of Overseers, the Faculty and other officers of the University, winners of academic distinctions in former years, the governor of Massachusetts and the mayor of Cambridge, the presidents of the classes, the head masters of schools whose pupils' names appear in the list, and certain representatives of the press. Several prominent men will deliver speeches.

The meeting is not open to the University in general, but at 8 o'clock, after the holders of special invitations have been seated, students in Harvard College proper will be admitted.
