Harvard commencements 50 years from now will be financed and broadcast by beer barons, and scholarships awarded on the basis of the number of bottle labels submitted, according to a skit presented Saturday night at the president's dinner of the Clover Club of Boston and witnessed by President Conant.

Another skit named important Boston officials as proprietors of a laundry that turned out clothing "as spotless as Revere."
