in war as in peacetime, DePouw traditions continue to ploy their port in life on the college campus; and without them Depouw would not be DePauw. With such celebrations as Old Gold Day, the annual homecoming in the fall when all the grads Hock back to their olmg meter, the spirit of loyalty and Friendship is truly kept alive, The students look Forward to Docis Day when they can proudly escort their fathers Ground cherished nooks and crannies and to favorite profs, and to May Day when Mothers are treated like queensi bedecked in huge Chrysanthe- mums. In their daily lives the students are conscious of the tradition behind many 0t their activities. The daily chapels in Meharry Hoill the gatherings around the Boulderethese have ever remained as pleasant memories in the hearts OF students. Today the ancient DePauw-Wobosh rivalry is still proclaimed as the most thrilling event of the Football season, and happy is the day the Monon Bell announces us victor. And the victory bell in East College still rings its message of triumph otter every victorious athletic contest. Even Senior Week has its traditional round of activities-with its Mock Chapel, Recognition Chopei, and Cap and Gown chopei at which time the seniors appear in academic garb For the First time Another phase of coilege, too often overlooked in our search For the best loved aspects of college iite but upholding the traditions and spirit oi DePauw, is found in the academic Field of science. Research and progress has become as much a part of DePouw as the muchiheralded timeworn Boulder which stands sturdily through the changing generations of our history Beginning chemistry labs bring back nostalgic memories oF suiphur-dioxide fumes and broken test tubes, while botany and zoology Open a whole new Field of exploration to those students interested in the less aesthetic constituents of local Flora and wild life. Along the less Frivoious side, however, the science course at Depouw prepares its students in the rudiments of their Field, establishing the traditionally high standards set For Future aims toward perfection Test tubeSecops n, gowns,- new Fields of expiorotion-the ever-Faithful Boulder; each in its own way contributes to the traditions and customs laid down in tribute to DePauw University.
