The thirtieth of this month will be a day long to be remembered by all men now in college, unless all the signs fail. The regiment, one might better say brigade, of torch bearers which Harvard will send out on the evening of that day promises to surpass in numbers and splendor all demonstrations hitherto made by students. The undergraduates will turn out in force, the Law School has promised a considerable battalion and invitations have been sent to all graduates living in the vicinity and to the Medical and other departments of the university to join in this parade. It is intended to have it a strictly college affair so no hired band has been procured, music being furnished by the enormous drum corps and by the Harvard Brass Band, which has been increased in size and is working hard to bring itself into a state of perfection for that night. Transparencies ought to be as thick as flies upon the wall. This special feature of torchlight processions has always been carried to the highest state attainable by the Harvard men of former years, and it is hoped that this year will be no exception to the rule. If sufficient money is raised the committee will be enabled to provide a large stock of fireworks to be set off along the line of march, something which will add much to the splendor of the affair. Private parties and clubs will doubtless indulge also in fireworks, and altogether the town and city will be painted so red that a rest of four years will be necessary to get over the effects of this glorious parade.
