Brunswick, Me-, May 23-Ivy day
at Bowdoin college this year comes
earlier than ever before, owing to a
combination of circumstances. A
year ago the student body voted to
have Ivy the second Friday before
the final examinations, instead of
the Friday before. as has been the
custom. This year. however, Mem

be held today, the third Friday be-
