John Tudor, the Committee Chairman, and Parker S. Wise, his assistant, assumed general charge of all the arrangements. The committee, however, was subsequently divided into groups in order 'to supervise more accurately the details of management. Elliot T. Putnam was given charge of the decorations, James Lawrence, Jr., of the invitations, and Bronson JV. Griscom of the catering. Wiilliam L. Elkins and Thomas G. Moore were chosen 'to take care of the music and coat rooms. As has been the custom in the past, the Jubilee will be held in Smith Halls. During the supper hour, the Hall choruses will hold their annual competition, and the Freshman Glee Club will render several selections. Later in the evening there will be orchestras for dancing in both the Common Room and the Dining Room. The date of the Jubilee has been set for May QS. The Committee is making its final arrangements at present. Wlith the extensive plans to make this event an outstanding feature of the year, and with the cooperation of every Freshman, there is no reason to believe that these hopes will not be realized. l2'7l

Iieltoy Allen, Jr. Charles A. Stewart HE Smoker Committee of the l reshman Class has this year followed the customs of former boards but has been successful in some noteworthy innovations. A short Smoker was held at the Harvard Union on February 26, the night before the Hockey game with Yale. VV. I. Nichols, ,Q6, Chairman of the Student Council Committee on Freshman Affairs, introduced the speakers who gave very brief talks, as the Hockey game immediately followed the smoker. Elliot Perkins, ,Q3, Assistant Dean of the Freshman Class, spoke on the Individ- ualism of Harvard. John Tudor, ,29, captain of the Hockey team, and Coach Dempsey followed, with short talks upon the importance of the impending clash with Yale. Then Richard K. Hawes, a Yale graduate, said a few words on the traditions of Yale and Harvard. The results of the class elections were announced. The Committee has planned for a final class gathering on May 5. It will start at seven o'clock in the Harvard Union. Hammered copper match boxes are to be distributed, and the Gold Coast Orchestra will furnish the music. A flash-light photograph of the smoker will be taken. As an interesting departure from the custom of having a few moving picture comedies, the Committee has arranged to have some men from 1'7'76 , this springis production of the Hasty Pudding Club, entertain with musical specialties. Instead of the usual cider and doughnuts, ginger ale, cakes, and sandwiches will be served. lQ9l
