JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET Maeterlinck said in L'Oiseau Bleuf' that the dead become conscious and happy when the living speak and think about them. If this is so, old Chaucer must have turned over in his grave and chuckled, for the faire ladies of the junior and senior classes of the College for XVomen quoted his lines full sweetly. It was the occasion of the junior-senior banquet on Tuesday evening, where the class of 1912 entertained the graduating class. The tables were pret- tily decorated with white pond lilies, the 1912 class flower, and the place cards bore the same design. Miss Margaret Senhauser, president of the junior class, acted as toast-mistress, while those present responded with toasts which were quotations from Chaucer. Closely following the banquet the seniors, gowned, each carrying a candle, marched in procession from Haydn Hall to the steps of Clark Hall. There they joined in singing clever and witty songs, serious songs and loyal ones. Per- sonal hits and others enlivened the evening. , THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE COLLEGE FOR WOMEN 0 some people the idea of a unified commencement has often oc- curred. They think it quite neces- sary for the Western Reserve University to have a university commencement where men and women of all depart- ments can graduate together. But this plan is not practical because of the large number of graduates and because it would violate the spirit of the College for Wonien. Since it was founded in 1890 this department of our university has held a place apart from the rest. Owing to this independence, perhaps, it has won a name as a girls' college of the Vassar or Smith type where mere man holds no equal rights-where woman's sphere remains all her own. It is fitting therefore that the College for Women should not be humiliated by having its graduates receive diplomas to- gether with the graduates of other departments. Furthermore the ceremonies can be so truly feminine, so naturally dainty without the grandeur and pomp of the university ceremonies that, for the women, there is little more to be desired. 19
