The graduates of all departments of the University, and all gentlemen specially invited to be present, will assemble at Gore Hall, and at 9.30 o'clock will proceed to Sanders Theatre, where an Address will be made by James Russell Lowell, LL.D., and a Poem delivered by Oliver Wendell Holmes, LL.D., after which Honorary Degrees will be conferred by the President of the University.
The business of the day renders an early start imperative, and all persons concerned are urged to be punctual.
The upper gallery of Sanders Theatre will be reserved for ladies having tickets. They will be received at the south door from 9.30 to 10.30 a.m. and no later.
At 2 p.m. the members of the Association of the Alumni, together with their invited guests, will form in procession at Gore Hall, and march to Memorial Hall to partake of a Collation and listen to brief addresses.
Tickets for the Collation in the Dining Hall at two dollars apiece will be for sale at the Registration Room, No. 4 University Hall, on and after Tuesday, the 2d of November, to graduates of the College, holders of Honorary Degrees from the University, and members of the Faculties of the College, and of the Professional Schools; and may be obtained, until the supply is exhausted, on personal application, or secured by letter enclosing the price of the ticket. Tickets ordered by letter will be reserved until half past one p.m. on Monday, November 8th, and must be called for by the applicant in person.
For the accommodation of gentlemen entitled to buy tickets for the Collation who apply for them after the supply is exhausted, a lunch will be provided in Hemenway Gymnasium at 2 o'clock, tickets for which, at fifty cents apiece, can be obtained at the Registration Room. After the procession has entered the Dining Hall, the east and west galleries will be opened to gentlemen wearing Badges who were entitled to buy tickets for the Collation.
