Baseball games on Soldiers Field and swimming in the new pool will fill the morning program until 12.30 o'clock, when lunch will be served. In the afternoon most of the visitors will attend the finals of the I. C. 4A. track meet in the Stadium where a special section is being reserved...

It is doubtless within the letter of his will to make the Union a freshman eating hall instead of a University club...
