THE SESQUICENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - In your issue of Tuesday last, you suggested that the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Harvard should be celebrated in some appropriate manner by the present under-graduates. Shall we allow this day to pass by unobserved? The two hundredth anniversary was fittingly observed; why should not the two hundred and fiftieth be?

As to the mode of celebration, I heartily endorse your suggestion that we follow the example of the Boston Latin School, in calling upon prominent alumni to make this anniversary one that we undergraduates may look back upon with pride and pleasure.

Again, as you say, let the arrangements be made at once; why should not a committee of students be appointed to draw up plans? or better still, let the Conference Committee take action in the matter. Surely this is a thing in which all professors and undergraduates should be alike interested.
