2 THE BATTALION easy observance of some unit, activ ity or interest of the institution. Every event of the program will take place on the. campus. It is desired that every resident of College Sta tion and the citizens of Bryan take an active interest in the meeting, at tend the sessions, and entertainments and meet the visitors individually and thus add to the possibilities of having the women guests learn more of the institution. Having the guests scattered over the campus in the homes instead of grouping them inconveniently in crowded quarters is only one means conceived to influence favorably the impressions that will be gained and the knowledge that will be acquired. In a few days residents will be so licited for accomodations to guests and it is hoped to put a large major ity of the visitors in homes. Lists of delegates and alternates will be re ceived here in advance of their com ing and residents will be allowed to choose their guests from those lists if their acquaintance permits them the advantage of selection. The women will arrive here on the day trains Thursday, April 6. A dress parade will be given in their honor at 5 :15 in the afternoon. Following the parade a short auto mobile ride will be taken in the vic inity of the College. At 6 o’clock they will be present at retreat. At 7 o’clock a dinner and reception will be given in the Mess Hall. This will be a formal affair. Everyone is in vited and it is hoped to have a rep resentative group of Bryan and Col lege people present but through ne cessity the number that may attend has been limited to 150. Tickets will be placed on sale previous to the af fair. Following the luncheon the Guion Hall, at which time ^reaic.ent Bizzell and other college officials will welcome the guests, the president of the Federated clubs will deliver her annual address and former presi dents will be presented. The first regular session will be held Friday morning beginning at 9 o’clock and continuing until 11, at which time the session will be ad journed for a memorial service to last until noon. A luncheon exclu sive for delegates and officers will then be served in the private dining Jroom in the Y. M. C. A. From 1 until 5 o’clock the clubs will be in continuous session. Dinner will be served at 6:30. Private din ner parties will be permitted at that time, but those not accomodated in that way will be served in the Mess Hall. At 9:30 a general reception has been arranged to take place at either the President’s home or in the Y. M. C. A. and at which time it is hoped to have all College and Bryan people present to meet the guests. The concluding session and elec tion of officers will be held Saturday morning and the women will depart on the day trains. A.M.C.
