The announcement made by the faculty yesterday, that college exercises during the anniversary celebration would be suspended from Thursday evening until Tuesday morning at eleven o'clock, has been greeted with general satisfaction by the students. The constant and hard worker will sigh a mighty sigh of relief when his eyes light on these lines, and the constitutional fainant will smile with lurid joy at finding the period of his loafing so largely extended. He will even tell you that the vacation ought to last until Wednesday morning at nine o'clock. However, it is to be hoped that the proverbial spirit of indifference, which by some calumniators is said to prevade the minds of Harvard men will not become so far triumphant that a large number of its devotees will ask to burden the very parent and nourisher of it, - Harvard herself - by using the grace of the college authorities as a means to create a nice little vacation, to be spent in some other quarter of the globe than Cambridge. It would seem hardly necessary to say that every undergraduate should consider it his duty to add zest to the coming reunion at least by being present - a reunion which is to represent the mind and power of the hosts of men who have been graduated from this institution during the last fifty years.

The arrangements for the celebration have now taken such definite shape that the vague doubts about its success which were heard some weeks ago have quite disappeared. Everyone looks forward with confidence to three days of great and memorable festivity.

The fact that college exercises will be resumed on Tuesday morning after the celebration, at so unusual a time as eleven o'clock, may at first seem rather remarkable, but a careful study of the programme for Monday evening will doubtless remove any questions that might have arisen in regard to that matter. Then, indeed it will very likely be a source of wonder, not that the hour was set so late, but that it was arranged for so early in the day.
