The schedule of events for Commencement Week was announced yesterday by J. N. Trainer, Jr. '31, chairman of the Class Day Committee.

The exercises this year will be held from June 14 to 19. The Baccalaureate Sermon by President Lowell on Sunday afternoon, June 15, is the first event on the schedule, which closes Friday with the Harvard-Yale regatta on the Thames at New London.
Senior Spread
R. C. Aldrich '31 and David Cobb '31 are in charge of the Senior spread, which will be held in the Lowell House quadrangles. The chief direction of the Stadium exercises will be in the hands of T. E. Farrell '31, while C. F. Richards '31 will have charge of the chapel exercises in Sanders Theatre.
