“We have invited students to the Master’s Residence any time in the evening if they want to watch TV or simply hang out,” Georgi wrote in an e-mail.

Adams has designated its Upper Common Room as a quiet place for students to gather in the morning, though it will not hold any structured activities there.

Silent Vigil

Along with Lowell House and many cities throughout the nation, the City of Cambridge will ring its City Hall bells at 8:46 a.m.

Community members will then proceed to City Hall, where city officials and members of fire, police and honor guards will speak. Members of the Cambridge Fire Department will perform Taps.

The day will culminate with a vigil along the Charles River beginning at 7:45 p.m. Instead of candles, city officials will distribute over 2,000 glowsticks.

“This will be a silent vigil. There is no ceremony planned—this is a reflective time,” said city spokesperson Ini Tomeu.

Tomeu said she is not certain how good the attendance will be, given the number of other services already planned.

But she said the number of Cantabrigians in attendance tonight is not important.

“This is a tribute to those who have lost their lives,” she said. “And to those who risk them every day.”
