Major General Black Will Speak at All-University Gathering
BIG PAGEANT IS FEATURE
Athletic Contests Will Be Heft in the Afternoon; Close With Banquet
The entire University will participate in at least part of the Engineers' day program Wednesday, April 20, according to Dean P. F. Walker. Chancellor Lindley has given his permission for an all-University convocation at the end of the first class ended Wednesday morning.
Major General Black, guest of honor for the day, will be the principal speaker at this convoction. He admitted that he probably will talk on some phase of the part that engineering played during the war. General Black, now retired, was in charge of the war's engineering throughout the recent world war.

From the campus it will go down the Hill] and north on Massachusetts Avenue, and societies in charge of the floats are keeping their plans under cover, but it is likely that each society will furnish two or more floats.

Plans for the athletic events of the afternoon have also been completed. The various departments will compete in a track meet at at least six events, and a baseball tournament, as well. The society is expected to enter a team.
