Palmer, '87; an address to the undergraduates, by Mr. E. J. Rich, '87; an ode, read by Mr. L. McK. Garrison, '88. The Pierian and Glee Club will take part in the exercises. A joint executive committee was elected as follows: Chairman, Winthrop Wetherbee. Geo. A. Morrison, Geo. P. Furber, Geo. P. Baker, E. J. Rich, S. H. Smith.
