The 1916 Class Day Committee has announced the following program of events for Commencement week. The change of the Commencement exercises from Sanders Theatre to the Stadium is the most noteworthy feature. The removal was made because Sanders Theatre has proved very inadequate in size. This year, weather permitting, the Stadium will be the scene of the exercises and thus ample accommodations will be provided for everyone. The schedule of events is as follows:
