Two noteworthy spoofs were nurtured by the wit of stu- dent buffoons. In chapel one tiresome, Monday morning, Cilley Hall dealt with lecturers, musicians, treasurers, sing- ing groups, and principals in a startling feat of mass mockery. Not to be outdone by the chapel satire, the de- vil-may-care staff of the Exonian created the sensational tabloid, The Daibz Eagu. The Hrst edition of g'Exeter's pic- ture newspaperl' captured the Hair of good, yellow-sheet journalism with its front page story of the mangling of an Exeter merman by Andover thugs. Four days before the term ended, it was announced that a businessman named Edward C. Simmons had bequeathed seven million and three hundred thousand dollars to Exe- ter, five million dollars of that sum to be used for scho- larships. This was the largest sum ever donated to the Academy and perhaps the largest amount of money ever granted to an American independent school by a single donor. A trustee commented that this gift should open the door to a new era in Exeterls history. But before these portals were to be unlatched to release the gush of the APC. chairman's ideas, students escaped for a two week sojourn until the coming of April would draw them back to school.
