Assisted by the Harvard Regiment and by a number of men prominent in public life, the Memorial Society will commemorate Memorial Day in Sanders Theatre tomorrow. The services will commence promptly at 12 o'clock, when a procession consisting of the Harvard veterans, the Francis Beck Post, G. A.

Twitchell '16, and R. N. Williams '16. Admission will be by tickets, which may be obtained free of charge from P. Bradley '16, Thayer 38, any time today. Holders of tickets not marching in the procession must find their seats before the Regiment arrives.

Invitations have been sent to a number of eminent persons, of whom Governor McCall, Commandant Rush, of the Charlestown Navy Yard, Colonel Ridgway, of the Massachusetts Coast Defence, Mayor Curley of Boston, and Mayor Rockwood of Cambridge are expected to attend.
