...believe that the class of '98 are justly to be congratulated for their action in accepting the proposal to move their afternoon Class Day exercises. At the start the proposal was opposed by many and strongly advocated by none, but slowly the feeling gained ground that the move was not an arbitrary demand of the Corporation, but one made by men who have the success of Harvard Class Days most at heart, and who wish to force their convictions on no one.

If we "move" at all, the committee seem to have found the best location for the exercises...

In other words, it can look forward to no better celebration than that which last year caused considerable disappointment to many spectators, and much discomfort to all concerned. Few who were at the Tree last year and afterwards discussed...
