_Fellow Students and Classmates_:
Dr. Vincent tells us that “more than one half of the members of ’84
reside in New England.” But a very small part of them can attend the
graduating exercises at Chautauqua, therefore the management of the New
England Assembly are to set apart one afternoon of next summer’s Sessions
for Services of _Recognition_ of the N. E. members as _graduates_. We
shall then and there be enrolled as members of “_The Society of the
Hall in the Grove_.” The members who were present at Framingham last
year, to the number of one hundred and fifty, having great pride in the
C. L. S. C., and not a little _Class_ pride, chose a committee to make
arrangements suitable for so important and glorious an occasion. The
committee decided upon the three following items in the program:
1. An Oration, and a well known College President is to be invited to
grace the occasion.
2. Some prominent band or other musical organization to furnish music for
the day.
