Uhr 1912 Qlrimsann Commencement 1910 The Pageant A successful feature of the Commencement week in IQIO was the Ripon Historical Pageant. The suggestion of the idea came from the Senior class, but it was taken up by the College Faculty, and la- ter, through the Commercial Club, by committees of citizens and by the various women's clubs of the city. The hearty co-operation of town and college resulted in an unusual and impressive representation of events in Ripon's local history, in the form of a Pageant. The affair frozn the outset was planned on a scale somewhat larger than that usually undertaken in the small town. A guarantee fund of over a thousand dollars was raised by citizens and friends of the college' The fund, though not drawn upon, served an excellent purpose in giving confidence to those who were -' l -z1ri, , ,1'.

The Pageant was presented in three parts, with an epilogue. The first part had to do with the early traditions and historic facts of the days of early adventure. The dra- matic scene in which jean Nicollet, robed in the rich flowing European dress of the nobility of France, both frightened and fascinated the Men of the Sea in his landing at Green Ray, formed the first tableau. The In- dian camp to which he came heralded by runners and announced by the firing of pistols, and the Indians themselves, were presented in realistic fashion. The second scene, Marquette and the Indians, re- produced with accuracy a real experience in Mar- quette's career as he passed along the vallev of the Fox. The third scene. while not in itself historic. was typical of the life of the early adventurer among the Indians. It was probably the most exciting and thrill- ing scene of the Pageant.
