Y 1916 SPRING DAY Cops But Alma hflater grieved. For the Fall had taken from the University its greatest friend and helpmate, President Andrew Dickson White. So the task of finding the way to the glorious Cornell of old seemed doubly hard because of the loss of Cornellls beloved leader. Out of chaos came the return to the near-normal, as the new term started December 30, 1918. Day by day, Cornellians returning from service made the Campus a brighter, happier place. Cornell activities and athletics got under- way again with all the spirit and enthusiasm in the world. And the baneful war atmosphere was banished forever from the Quadrangle. The Varsity basketball team staged a great fight for Alma Nfater, and chalked up the first come-back after the war. Then came the happy, carefree Hardly Fair, heralding the visit after fifty years away from Alma Nlater, of Colonel Grand Hoax Hardly, who superintended the opening and housewarming of the great new drill hall, all for the benefit of the Athletic Association. The loss of Doc Sharpe to Yale was a severe blow to Cornell football, basket- ball and baseball teams. The Doctor's fine work in instilling a clean, manly iight- ing spirit into Cornell athletics remains as one of the finest of Alma Nlater's heritages. Considerable mortality was recorded as the result of the chaos of term examina- tions. But Cornellians returned from short vacations to find a changed Alma lVlater. The Old Guard was back on deck again, and the Class of IQIQ staged many informal, joyous reunions with classmates who had been gone out of sight and hearing during the period of the war. Thus Cornell assumed all the ear- marks of pre-war conditions. Varsity baseball folk and crew men plugged away at early Spring practice determined to bring victory to the Red and White banners in the Spring battles for supremacy. And then came the great IQIQ Spring Day, and the Yale game and the Princeton race,-an unbeatable combination. Q Finally, I9IQ,S Commencement Day came over the calendar's top. Under the normal program, IQIQ would have graduated on that day as a body. But war had wrought many strange changes. And the June graduates composed but a tiny fraction of the mighty Class of 1919 that had begun work at Cornell in the Fall of 1915. As an individual unit, the Class of IQI9 is but a memory of freshman times in 1915-1916. . But in spirit, the members of the Class of 1919, whether graduating with ,zo or 321, still consider themselves permanent fixtures in 1919,-and so they are. To the cause of Civilization, 1919 sacrificed its unity and its individuality. But no one regrets 'the glorious sacrifice. THE END. 554
