HARVARD.

Cambridge. Mass. June 25-Harvard class day
passed off without any great mishaps. The exer-
cises in Sanders Theatre were above the usual
order and the Grafton OF J. f. Brice was the nit
of the day The new plan of exercises at the
statue was nothing to be proud Of but at the same
time 1t is move In the development OF some new
,dea 10 take the place of the once famous ex-
ercises II Is clear that some sort OF programme
10 be carried out around the statue of John Har-
ward must he appropriate, and the duty OF future
class day committees vii be 10 find programme
that will be effective well. The throwing OF
flowers taken from the base Of the statue does not
seem a bad idea and in practice It worked WELL
but there is a considerable doubt as to the wisdom
OF having the audience throw colored confetti on
the heads OF the seniors.
Likewise the idea OF having the graduates on hand
nj one side OF the statue is excellent one, and
some plan will eventually be formulated by which
the reception OF the seniors into the midst Of the
graduates is made more formal and impressive.
This year the exercises were an Improvement upon
those Of last class day. when the statue was first
used and there can be no doubt that future years
will bring more Improvement.
The ninety second season of the Pierian Sodallty
an Independent amateur musical organization"
will open next October, and several changes In the
societys organization have been determined upon.
The usual spring series OF concerts in Sanders
Theatre will be given up, and IN their place three
concerts will be given one IN December, one in
April and one in May. AT these an effort will be
made 10 give more Of the popular music and at the
end Of the season concert open to all members OF
the university will be given The society will next
year rehearse weekly in Holden Chapel which is to
be given over TO the musical department under Pro
fessor Paine.
Great improvement has Deen made In the ar
Iangement OF the trophy room In the Hemenway
Gymnasium. Professor Archibald c. Coolidge has
had charge or the matter, and he has recovered
many OF the photographs Of past winning athletic
teams The room was opened on class day for the
inspection Of graduates and undergraduates and
II was one OF the most interesting things to be seen
