COMMITTEE DROPS PLAN FOR STADIUM PAGEANT IN JUNE

Plans to present a mammoth pageant in the Harvard Stadium as part of Cambridge's celebration of the Massachusetts Bay Tercentenary this summer have definitely been dropped, it was learned yesterday from Professor J. H. Beale '82, chairman of the local committee in charge of the celebration. Lack of funds and of sufficient interest to make possible the presentation of such a program were given by Professor Beale as the reasons for abandoning the project.

Other Plans

Other plans, however, including the opening of certain Harvard buildings to visitors during Commencement week, will be carried out, it is said. Details of the celebration were discussed at the initial meeting of the group on Wednesday evening, at which time Professor Beale was named chairman of the official committee. Up until this time a self-appointed group, of which Professor Beale and Judge Robert Walcott '95 had been members, had paved the way for their successors during the past year and a half.

One additional feature of the local celebration will be a visit by the Lord Mayor of Cambridge, England, who has been invited here by the city. Harvard's chief share in the program, besides allowing visitors to inspect its historic buildings, will consist in exhibition of old views of Cambridge and of old maps of this section of the state, which will be shown in Robinson Annex. The University buildings will be open to visitors on June 21. A parade is planned for June 25.
