Lewis was in charge of music. and A. D. liell of souvenirs. About two weeks after its appointment, and long in advance of the date set for the affair, the connnittee had tentatively completed all preparations. The program included speeches by President A. Lawrence Lowell, ProfessorGreenough, and NV. B. Wood, Jr.: selections by various of the Freshman Instrumental Clubs, movies, and music by one of the popular Harvard orchestras.
