FOURTH ESTATE TAKES CAMBRIDGE BY STORM AT DINNER AND CONVENTION

Nearly 125 former editors of the HARVARD CRIMSON from all parts of the country arrived in Boston today during the morning and afternoon to be present at the Fiftieth Anniversary Dinner commemorating the founding of the University paper in 1873.

During the afternoon these guests arrived at the Crimson Building on Plympton Street where they met the present editors and undergraduate members of the staff. In addition to a general informal reunion in the Sanctum, the guests inspected the building and watched the first part of the makeup of this special edition.

At 7.45 the guests; numbering about 200 in all, including representatives of the Yale News, the Daily Princetonian, the Cornell Daily Sun, the Dartmouth, and the Tech News, adjourned to the Union for the dinner. During the dinner a placard is to be passed to every man for his autograph, the card to be kept as a souvenir of the occasion.

The toastmaster at the dinner is Mr. Franklin E. Parker Jr. '18, president of the CRIMSON in 1918, who will introduce Mr. Jerome D. Greene '96, the first speaker. Mr. Greene, who was secretary for the American Section of the Allied Maritime Transport Council in 1918 and for the Reparations Commission at the Peace Conference in 1919 and who has been actively connected with the University for many years, now being an Overseer, was president of the CRIMSON in 1896.

H. H. Reed '23, president of the CRIMSON for the last term, will speak on the position of the paper in the University today, and will be followed by Professor Edward H. Warren '95, Storey Professor of Law at the University Law School and acting dean there in the year 1921-22.

Mr. Henry C. Merwin '74, who was one of the ten men who published "The Magenta" in 1873, a sheet which shortly became the University paper, will speak next. His talk will include an account of those days of trouble in 1873 when the success of "The Magenta" was very much doubted.

President Lowell will be the final speaker of the evening.
