The early preparations for the celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the university are a pleasing sign of the interest taken by the students in the success of this plan. The oldest and most famous institution of learning in America, numbering among her alumni the most eminent representatives in literature, science, art, politics, and religion will hold an anniversary celebration next fall, which will be a noteworthy event in the annals of the college. The students should remember that the success of the celebration depends, to a great extent, upon the character of the committee chosen by the different classes. Therefore the greatest care should be taken that energetic and hard-working men should be elected to represent the college.
