Cleveland, we have yet a deep interest in the welfare of the old school. VVe are glad of the addition of the relay race to your commencement week events, since it affords us an opportunity to renew the tie between Western Reserve in Cleve- land and its old home in Hudson. Personally, I have been much interested in the race, and will look forward to the success of the annual events. Very truly yours, H. A. SULLIVAN. Mayor of the Village of Hudson, O. Following the s p e e c h e s came an orchard dance on a platform in the section of the campus between the chapel and Eldred Hall. From nine o'clock until half past eleven gay couples tripped along the slanting planks in some lively barn dance or more modern Waltz. The music, as old-fashioned as the dance, was rendered by a harp and a violin. Between dances the different fraternities responded with songs. Alpha Delta Phi ..... . .......... VVe Come. Beta Theta Pi ...... .......... ' 'Loving Cup. Delta Upsilon ........ ... Reserve and Delta U. Delta Kappa Epsilon .... ..... ' 'Marching Song. Phi Gamma Delta ..... ..... ' 'Our Fraternity. Delta Tau Delta .... ............. ' 'Laudamusf' Alpha Tau Omega . . . .... The Toast Convivialf' Sigma Nu ........ ........... ' 'Sigma Nu. Sigma Chi .............................................. Our Fraternity. After the last fraternity had sung its song, all joined in singing Home of Our College Days. For all the enjoyment of the evening, thirteen men were re- sponsible. They were: R. lzant, Chairman, 'WT G. Smith, Treasurer, Pomeroy, De Venne, Elden, G. C. Knight, Sale, Shrimplin, Henn, Fuller, Hubbell, Oberlin and Street. 15

MR. CH,xR1.Es F. TI-IWING, President of NVestern Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio.

THE GLEE CLUB PROMENADE VVhile the brilliantly lighted Adelbert campus echoed and re-echoed to the strains of dance music and the laughter of happy dancers in the orchard, the Glee Club Promenade of the College for VVomen was in full sway. . . . and bright The lamps shone o'er fair women and brave men 5 There was an indescribable charm about the gymnasium-a something that sug- gested colonial days and that informality which is found only in congenial com- panies. Pink decorations and pretty gowns lent further charms to the setting. Between dances the couples were called forth by the beauty of a chilly evening and walked slowly, about the campus or sat along the railing in front of the hall, chatting and happy. The committee in charge consisted of Gabrielle Weber, Juliet Hart and Francis Oster. THE CONFESSIONAL BREAKFAST W'ith the exception of the dedication of the Amasa Stone Memorial Chapel on Adelbert campus, Tuesday was devoted to the exercises of the College for XVomen. In the morning the class of 1911 gathered in the dining-room of Haydn Hall for the class breakfast, which has been named Confessional Breakfast, because all seniors who are engaged are supposed to confess it there. Breaking bread together, informally and as a class, it was the last time the girls were to meet, so it was therefore fitting to tell those secrets which were formerly known only in the breath of idle gossip. Seven real confessions were given and seven responded to the toasts which we suppose were to man-mere man. DEDICATION OF THE AMASA STONE MEMORIAL CHAPEL The white walls of the chapel shone brightly in contrast to the dark green of the surrounding trees. Reflecting its every detail in the smooth waters of NVade Park pond, the stately spire gleamed among the shadows. Within its walls a ceremony of dedication was taking place, where men and women of wealth and learning were assembled to take part or listen to the ceremony. The formal presentation was made by Mr. Samuel Mather, in behalf of the donors, Mrs. Samuel Mather and Mrs. John Hay, daughters of Amasa Stone and sisters of Adelbert Stone, for whom Adelbert College was named. President Thwing, on behalf of the university, accepted the gift as a me- morial to Amasa Stone. Following the acceptance of the building by the presi- dent, Right Rev. William Leonard, Episcopal Bishop of Ohio, pronounced the benediction, while Rev. Rollin A. Sawyer, of the class of 1851 accepted the gift for the graduates and the people. Floyd E. Logee, of the class of 1911, spoke for the undergraduate body. Rev. James De Long Williamson, Reserve 1870, offered the prayer. The college choir, with Prof. C. E. Clemens and Mr. E. J. Smith at the organ rendered the music of the ceremony. Henry Vaughan of Boston designed the chapel, which is of the late Gothic architecture, finished inside in oak and fine cut Indiana limestone, outside with 16 A xr-- :-'- -,-- gp
