COMMENCEMENT AS USUAL

In accordance with the idea of the administration in regard to Commencement the seniors are going ahead with full plans to make their graduation exercises as nearly like those of normal years as possible. Because of the early closing the last examination this year will be the week ending Saturday, May 25. Following a plan which has already been tried with success in other colleges in the country, this year's Commencement will take place on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, in this case on May 25, 26 and 27. This should enable many alumni to make the trip to Hanover at this time who otherwise might be detained at home for business reasons,— not to mention the saving of three or four days' time to the undergraduates and seniors who remain in Hanover for the exercises.

A baseball game will take place Saturday morning, a performance of the Dramatic Association that night, and a Commencement Ball Monday night, with other events taking place as has been the custom in the past. It is hoped by both the College authorities and the seniors that as many alumni will return as is possible, not only to help make the 1918 Commencement a success in itself, but, more important, to keep the relations b etween College and alumni unsevered throughout the war.
