About 25 Masons will attend, escorted by St Alban's Lodge, with music from the Herreshoff Marine Band. Nearly 100 ninth and high school pupils will sing three pieces, including He Conquers Who Endures, with words by the late Mrs Theodora Oolt. Governor George H. Uester, Brown University's President Faunce, and Judge LeBaron B. Colt will speak. The stone on Bradford and Hope streets will be white Georgia marble with a copper box of school records. Linden Place hosts a luncheon after the event, and the day will be a half holiday for schools, with local factories likely closing in the afternoon.
