Commencement to be Held in Patten Gym Commencement exercises at North- western university this year will be held in Patten gymnasium as in the past, and not in Dyche stadium, it has been announced definitely by President Walter Dill Scott. Uncertainty of weather conditions on Commencement day, June 18, was the chief reason given for the decision to held the exer- cises in the gymnasium. The weather would have to be ideal, it was pointed out, for the outdoor exercises. Should the day be extreme- ly warm, they would have to be post- poned until after 4 o'clock in the after- noon, when the sun would not beat down on the assembled crowd. This would disrupt the entire commence- ment schedule. And if rain threatened, the exercises would have to be held in the gymnasium, anyhow. Inasmuch as all other commence- ment activities center on the campus, the stadium also is too far distant to make the exercises there practicable, President Scott said. Mrs. Harry Vissering, Kenilworth avenue, entertained a small group of friends on Thursday of this week, in honor of Mrs. Frank Cheeseman's birthday.
