When the men who had in charge the celebration which is now going on decided to place Graduates Day last upon the list of the features of this two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, they were guided by true insight and good judgment. For what enthusiasm can be greater than that of the college graduate who returns to the scenes of his boyish escapades and of his scholastic hours. The independence and oblivion of college life is always a bright spot in his memory and the seeing once again makes the brightness turn to brilliant radiance and there arises an exhilaration and ecstacy which the undergraduate, steeped in his belief that all is vanity - not veritas - can never experience.

It is fitting then, as we have said above, that Graduates' Day should end our celebration, and the greatest zest and energy will mark to-day. There is no anti-climax. The Law School has done her share, the Undergraduates on Saturday showed themselves worthy of the name of men; yesterday all joined in obedience to their religious instinct, but to-day we are to see a feeling of brotherhood and cordiality rule supreme throughout the Harvard domain. Hearty hand-shaking on every side, memories that have slept during many years of work and thought, will be brought once more vividly before the minds of Harvard's some-time students. Well known faces forgotten for a generation, will recall some happy incident of the former days. Who can doubt but that these meetings, these reminiscences will call forth such a burst of free, boyish sympathy, vivacity and emotion, as has never been seen before in Cambridge? Add to this the pathos of those memories and in truth to day would be the history of Harvard for half a century or more, if we could but have omniscience and overhear all the talk, interpret every look and expose all the passion of feeling which will surround us throughout the day.
