...Sweezy '29 is the only other speaker who has been definitely chosen, but several other tentative selections have been made. It is expected that many members of the 1927 football team, including Captain-elect A. E. French '29, will be present, and one of them will speak. The Student Council has also been asked to send its representative. No decision on the question of enlarging the stadium has yet been made by the Board of Overseers...
