GRADUATES RETURN FOR FATHERS AND SONS DAY

SECTION RESERVED FOR STADIUM SPECTACLE

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A large number of graduates are expected to be present in Cambridge today for the first Fathers and Sons Day which is being sponsored by the alumni associations headed by the Association of Class Secretaries.

Morning activities will consist of informal baseball games on Soldiers Field with impromptu lineups. All necessary equipment for the games will be supplied by the H. A. A. The teams will be made up of graduates and their sons who are now in college. For those who do not wish to play baseball, the new pool in the gymnasium will be open to the visitors, who may try out the spring boards until 12.30 o'clock.

A buffet lunch is planned, after which the I. C. 4A meet will prove the main attraction. A special section was reserved in the stands on Soldiers Field in order that those wishing to apply might have seats together with their sons.

The plan of having a field day such as this one, originated when the Association of Class Secretaries sought for a better means of keeping the graduates, and especially those graduates whose sons are now in college, in close touch with the affairs of the University. Several of the classes, which have celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversaries. had tried the scheme and found it successful, in getting the graduates together in the odd years between the major anniversaries.

Since there has always been an attempt made to find what graduates had 'sons considering entrance to Harvard, it was thought that this function might be merged with the social ones sponsored by individual classes. The meeting today is the first of these events which are hoped to become annual affairs.
