At a meeting of the Senior class in Lower Massachusetts last evening the plan of holding the afternoon Class Day exercises in the Stadium was discussed at considerable length. No vote on the question was taken, it being decided to hold another class meeting next Tuesday evening for discussion of more definite suggestions as to what kind of exercises could be held in the Stadium or in the Yard.

It was stated by the chairman of the Class Day Committee that it would probably be impossible to hold exercises about the Statue this year because they necessitate the use of wooden stands, which, during the exercises, offer such danger from fire that the Corporation will probably prohibit their erection if the class itself does not wish to abandon them. A letter to that effect from the secretary of the President was read by the chairman. Such being the case, it was argued that exercises could be held to advantage in the round end of the Stadium, where there would be opportunity for seating comfortably, without the least danger of fire, a larger number than is possible around the Statue.

Against this plan it was urged that the walk down to the Stadium would be unpleasant and would take too much time. Against this argument it was contended that the people who walk to Soldiers Field for athletic games might not be unwilling to undertake the journey, and that, if the exercises were held in the Stadium, saving would be made in the time now used in crowding in and out of the stands at the Statue. The other argument against the plan that the Stadium would be a less significant setting for the exercises than the Yard--was opposed by the contention that the principal part of Class Day would still center about the Yard and that by the use of Soldiers Field visitors would be brought in contact with a centre of another side of University life. Those who object to the plan of using the Stadium urged that every effort be made to see if the present Statue exercises need be abandoned, and that, if they must, other exercises be held somewhere in the Yard.
