The Undergraduate Committee has completed its labors - or most of them, for the 250th Anniversary, and it now remains for the students to carry out the work which the committee has begun. Following is the programme for Saturday, November 6th:
At 9.30 a.m. the scratch races will be rowed over the Charles River upper course, by the boat-house. Further announcement will be made concerning the number of races, the prizes and the drawing for positions.
At 11.30 the students will proceed to Sanders' Theatre, where the floor of the house will be reserved for them by classes. The other parts of the house will be occupied by officers of the university, distinguished graduates, invited guests from other colleges, prominent men in literary and political life, and friends of the speakers. The list of ushers will be announced in a few days. The programme of the exercises, which will probably meet with no further change, is as follows:

At the close of the literary exercises there will be an intermission till 3 p.m., when a championship foot ball game with Wesleyan will take place on Jarvis Field. New seats will be erected on both sides of the field to accommodate the crowd which will necessarily assemble to see the game.
At 7.30 a procession of the Undergraduates and the Law and Medical Schools will assemble in front of the gymnasium, the procession to be started at 8 p.m. sharp.
The costumes of the undergraduates have been decided as follows, and books have been placed at Leavitt & Peirce's for signatures of those who intend to march.
