JUDGE H. N. BLAKE '58 WILL BE MEMORIAL DAY SPEAKER

Judge Henry Nichols Blake '58, former chief justice of the Supreme Court of Montana, has been chosen speaker for the Memorial Day exercises to be held in Sanders Theatre on May 30. Mr. Blake was practicing law in Boston at the outbreak of the Civil War, but immediately joined the Union Army. He showed such conspicuous bravery in the battle of Williamsburg that he was promoted to second lieutenant. He was wounded twice during the war. After the conclusion of peace he moved to Montana, then a Territory, and was appointed United States Attorney. He soon became District Attorney, then Associate Justice of the Territory, member of the legislature, Chief Justice of the Territory, and finally Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State. Judge Blake is president of the Montana Bar Association and author of the book "Three Years in the Army," which he published soon after the close of the war.

The Memorial Society has completed its plans for the observance of Memorial Day. The invited guests, together with all students planning to attend will form a procession in front of University Hall at 11.45 o'clock, when the College bell will ring. The entire gathering will then march behind a band to Sanders Theatre, where the regular exercises will take place.

The next regular meeting of the Memorial Society will be held on Wednesday, April 12, when Professor Bliss Perry, of the English Department, will speak on "Emerson at Harvard."
