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.
