A COMMUNICATION FROM THE UNDER-GRADUATE COMMITTEE.

A meeting of the anniversary committee was held last evening to determine upon some plan of celebration during the time given up to the students. It is now intended that the celebration shall occupy three days, Saturday, Sunday and Monday the 6th, 7th, and 8th of November. Saturday will be given up to the undergraduates, Sunday to religious commemorative exercises, and Monday to the alumni. On Monday the feature of the day will be an address in Sanders by James Russel Lowell, a poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes, if possible, and a grand banquet in Memorial for the graduates.

At the meeting last evening, some doubt was felt by the members of the committee as to the proper manner in which the student celebration should be conducted. An entire day is to be occupied by student exercises, and great care must therefore be taken in preparation. Among the numerous suggestions were literary exercises in the morning by the students, some athletic exhibition in the afternoon, a torch-light procession illustrating the history of the university, followed by a grand ball in Memorial Hall and the gymnasium in the evening. The committee do not wish to act hastily, or without the advice of the students. It is therefore expected that suggestions will be made to the committee by all who are interested in the celebration. As some definite plan must be determined upon by Saturday of this week, it is hoped that such suggestions will be sent to the CRIMSON at once for publication, or to Mr. F. S. Coolidge, 9 Matthews.

BY ORDER OF THE COMMITTEE.
