e of WILLIAM AND MARY pause- after this last and most dreadful war in the history of our country— to see how the College has ad- justed itself to the changing conditions. And still we find that traditions and WILLIAM AND MARY are as one. It is traditions that make us what we are; it is we who make traditions— Lord Botetourt and freshmen due caps, the Great Hall, the Flat Hat, the Yule Log Ceremony, the Duke of Gloucester Street, Thanksgiving football rivalry in Richmond, Convocations, Chapel, the Honor System, the Indian warwhoop, rr College of our fathers, 1693, Phi Beta Kappa, and Wren Bells all have become through successive generations unwritten me- morials to the College. Less these shoidd fade from mem- ory we present here in the following pages the traditions that are and will always be-WILLIAM AND MARY.
