Plans in Detail and Information for
Graduates and Guests,
The main.plans for the celebration of
the inauguration of President Arthur
Twining Hadley, Wednesday, Oct. 18,
have been completed, and, although there
are yet many minor details to be settled,
the WEEKLY is able to announce in this
issue sufficient data to give an idea of
the thoroughness of the general scheme.
For the convenience of those who will
attend the celebration, a schedule of the
events of the day as they will occur
has been printed below, together with
all additional information obtainable,
which may be of benefit to the graduates
and guests of the University.
The graduates and guests will as-
semble on the Campus, Wednesday after-
noon, Oct. 18, at 2 o'clock and will be
marshalled in four divisions, as follows:
_ First division—President and Corpora-
tion of Yale, also former members of the
latter; (who will assemble in the Presi-
dent’s office in the Treasury Building) ;
the Governor of Connecticut and staff;
presidents, delegates and professors of
other universities and colleges: repre-
sentatives of the American Economic

dent and Corporation will be at the head
of this division, the others coming in the
vider named.
Second division—Representatives of
the Federal Government; representatives
of the State Government; governors of
other states; bishons; representatives
of municipal and local governments; in-
vited citizens of New Haven and other
specially invited guests. (These will
form in the old Library.) :
Third division—The general body of
graduates will assemble as at Commence-
ment, in order of graduation, on the walk
in front of the Brick Row. This divi-
sion will be headed by the presidents of
alumni associations. |
Fourth division—University faculties
and former members of the University
Faculties will assemble in Alumni Hall.
Marshals for all these divisions, and
division sections, will be named later.
Academic costumes which are becoming
more and more common on such occa-
sions, and caps and gowns with appro-
priate colored hoods, will be generally
worn by the Yale Faculty and the repre-
sentatives of other universities and col-
leges.
THE .SEATING ARRANGEMENT.
When all is ready, these four divisions
will direct their course to Battell Chapel,
entering the Chapel simultaneously from
the four entrances at the West end of
the building. The platform will be re-
served for President Hadley; ex-Presi-
dent Dwight; the Corporation and
Deans of the Faculties of Yale; some
presidents of other universities, and the
leading representatives of the federal,
state and local governments. The
remaining college and university presi-
dents, and other representatives of insti-
tutions of learning, together with the
representatives of the American Eco-
nomic Association and the principals of
the high schools and academies, will
occupy the center aisles. A portion of
the South center aisle will be occupied by
representatives of the federal, state and
local governments, the specially invited
guests, and the invited citizens of New
Haven.
The body of graduates will occupy the
remaining part of the South center aisle
and the South aisle, as well as the South
transept. The North aisle and the
North transept will be occupied by the
present and former members of the Uni-
versity Faculties. The North and South

be reached from the College street en-
trance.
Tickets of admission are being dis-
tributed to wives of graduates, officers
and guests of the University. When the

those not holding ladies’ tickets of ad-
mission. The large West gallery will be
cleared of its pews and will be occupied
by the student chorus of 100 picked
voices and the New Haven Symphony
orchestra, directed by Professor Samuel
S. Sanford and Prof. Horatio W. Par-
ker, of the Department of Music. The
most interesting feature of the musical
program will be the singing of the Com-
mencement Ode of Edmund Clarence
Stedman, Yale ’53, which was set to
music by Prof. Parker and sung at the
Commencement exercises in 1895 for the
first time. Herbert Witherspoon, Yale

has courteously offered his services as
soloist. The orchestra will play a pro-

throughout the reception. A collation
will be served at 6 o’clock in the rooms
of the first floor, which will be all thrown
together. Cardani of New York will
serve the supper, which is planned to be
substantial enough for those who do not

in the basement of the School.

The Student Portion of the
Celebration.
The student committees have entered
with great enthusiasm into the spirit of
the celebration and are planning to make
their part of it a success. They have al-
ready made arrangements for decorat-
ing the interior of the Campus, princi-
pally by bunting of the Yale color.
After dark the Campus will be closed
to all but students, graduates and guests.
Every room of the dormitories will show
a light as has been traditional at pre-
vious inaugurations.
At 8. o'clock marshalling. for the
torchlight procession will begin, the dif-
ferent classes forming on the various
walks of the Campus. Each class and
department will be distinguished by
differently colored caps and gowns, and
transparencies will be carried indicating
class numerals and the departments.
GRADUATES IN THE PROCESSION.
Should a sufficient number of the
younger graduates desire a place in the
line, they are hereby notified that gowns
and illumination can be had for them at
the cost of $1 eachwith possibly enough .
left over from an attendance of 100 to
furnish a band. Money should be sent
to YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY, Treas. at
once.
Several striking effects will be intro-
duced suggestive of the meaning of the
occasion in Yale’s historv and of the
ereetings offered to the President and
the University’s guests. The means of
illumination throughout the procession
will be by torches, lanterns and other
lights.
It is expected that practically all the
students of the University will be in
line. The procession aims at academic
dignity fitting the importance of the
event, and its success or failure will
guide the committee in making plans for
the larger and more elaborate Bi-cen-
tennial celebration.
