3. Decoration of the Auditorium.

We therefore make two requests of the New England membership:

1. That as many as possible arrange to be present at the Assembly, which

meets in July next year. It will richly repay you to be present through

the ten days; but be sure to be present upon C. L. S. C. day.

2. In accordance with the vote of the Auxiliary, as announced in “The

Outlook,” we ask each member, whether to be present at Framingham or

not, to send the _Secretary_ of the Committee the sum of _fifty cents_,

with as much more as you choose to add. If we carry out the program as

arranged, the expenses will be large. In order to make definite our

arrangements, we should know as to the amount to be realized from your

contributions by the first of February, 1884. We desire that you consider

this a personal invitation, and that you will forward your checks, or

postal orders, or pledges, as local circles or individuals, on or before

the above date. We ask you to do so much for the good of the cause and

the honor of the class.

We suggest to the N. E. members that they keep their reading well up, as

their memoranda must be in Miss Kimball’s hands by the first of July,

that the diplomas may be awarded and forwarded to Framingham.

Yours in behalf of the Committee,
