Wigs and Ruffles Mark Faneuil Hall Meeting

Revolutionary days will come back to Harvard Square tomorrow night when two positions of costumed Harvard and Radcliffe students, sparked by liveried, bewigged footmen, will set out for a Faneuil Hall meeting, sponsored by the Council for Democracy. The meeting is scheduled for 7:45 o'clock and will be broadcast by the Colonial Network.

Governor Leverett Saltonstall '14, Archibald MacLeish, and Raymond Massey will be among the speakers, and Samuel Eliot Morison, Professor of History, will officiate as chairman.

Harvard students who will don knee-breeches, lace, and ruffles to ride in the coaches will be Thomas Carroll '42, John Wilner '41, Newbold Landon '42, Woodrow Strandberg '41, and Earl Montgomery '43.

The 18th century atmosphere will recall the formation in 1772 of the first Committee of Correspondence, also in Faneuil Hall, to bring together all revolutionary elements in the separate colonies.
