In the next column is printed a communication advocating that the Commencement Exercises on Thursday, June 22, be held in the Stadium instead of in Sanders Theatre. There seem to be two arguments against such a plan: the difficulty of the practical management, and the possibility of rain. It may be argued that Sanders has more dignity by virtue of its traditions; but certainly it also has more discomfort than the Stadium, nor is the latter without its dignity. And the overwhelming lack of space in the theatre puts it at a disadvantage in any comparison.

As for the practical management, it may be that there are difficulties, yet it must be true that the procession will be much more impressive in the Stadium that if it comes in through one of the obscure entrances in Sanders. Speakers are not handicapped, because a specially constructed sounding-board is provided.

Moreover, "it has been done"; in 1916 the Commencement Exercises were held in the Stadium, and according to all reports it was a highly successful occasion. Whatever sentiment and tradititon may favor Sanders, it does not seem that they outweigh the facts of the greater comfort, capacity, and beauty of the Stadium.

It remains to consult the weather man.
