CITY IS GIVEN USE OF STADIUM FOR PAGEANT IN 1930

University Will Invite Public to Inspect Points of Historic Interest--Events Will Take Place in Spring

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Harvard Stadium, generally pictured as the scene of football battles and track meets, will be out to a radically different use next June, when it will provide the setting for a gigantic historical pageant, the chief feature of the Cambridge Tercentennial program in 1930. Although no official release has yet been issued by the University authorities, it was learned last night from Robert Walcott '95, chairman of the city committee in charge of the celebration, that in addition to supplying the use of the Stadium, the University is cooperating by allowing its historic buildings to be opened to the public.

Bound up as it is with the history of Cambridge. Harvard will play a large part in the celebration which will take place during the summer months next year. It is probable that the early history of the founding of the College will form part of the historical pageant, although a definite announcement of the program itself cannot be made until financial support has been guaranteed.

The plans of the Cambridge committee are but part of the numerous celebrations of the Massachusetts Tercentenary, which will be held in every town and city of the state. The individual programs are being, scheduled to avoid conflicting dates, so that visitors next summer will be able to attend any or all of the various programs. The present understanding, is that the Cambridge pageant will be given in the Stadium some time in June.
