solving this question except by the
sinking of a series of wells. Careful

CHANGES AT
HARVARD THIS YEAR

" o those who love the aroma of old
tradition. the class day exercises
held at Harvard last Friday Of
fered several interesting problems,
for the present arrangement includes
some radical changes from the tradi-
tional class day with which the thous-
ands who have visited Cambridge dur
ing the past half century have become
so familiar.
Harvard class day is certainly one Of
the most picturesque yearly festivals
that takes place in America, and its
own development is responsible for the
changes that are now making. many of
the exercises centering no longer in the
college yard" but in the new stadium
recently erected on the university ath-
letic fields.
Exercises in the Stadium.
The question of using the stadium for
class day exercises was warmly debated.
but the change has been made impera-
tive by the increas sing number of per-
sons who yearly attend the exercises.
and the decision of the college authori-
ties prohibiting. on the grounds of safe
ty, the erection of grandstands either in
the yard" or on the delta surrounding
of the class day exercises have lately
been conducted.
In the completely traditional sense.
therefore, the old class day is a thing
| of the past. AS a matter OF fact, ii
/ became a thing of the past some years
ago when the tree exercises" social

Last Tree Exercises.
The last tree exercises were he'd
some years ago. when the growth OF
