Yale's 226th commencement will be observed from Saturday, June 18, through Wednesday, June 22. Two days will be taken for conferring the degrees. For the second time double commencement exercises will be held, at which undergraduate degrees will be conferred upon members of the graduating classes of Yale College and the Sheffield Scientific School on Tuesday morning, June 21, and the professional degrees will be conferred on Wednesday morning, June 22.

President James Rowland Angell will give the baccalaureate address in Woolsley Hall on Sunday morning, and Professor Harry Benjamin Jepson, university organist, will give a recital on the Newberry organ in the afternoon. At 4.30 o'clock the dedication exercises of the new Alumni War Memorial in Hewitt quadrangle will be held. The annual meeting of Yale-in-China takes place in the evening in Sprague Memorial Hall.

On Tuesday reunion classes will parade in costume to the Yale field for the annual Harvard-Yale baseball game that afternoon.

It is furthermore expected that many of the alumni and commencement guests will remain in New Haven until Friday, June 24, when the annual boat races between Harvard and Yale will be held on the Thames river course at New London.
