Ellie 1512 Qlrimznn was attacked in his fort by the Indians, captured, and while about to suffer tor- ture, was rescued by a friendly lndian maiden. The second part of the Pa- geant dealt with the early pioneer mf T days at Ripon. The arrival of the VVisconsin Phalanx at Ceresco was of peculiar interest, as reproducing scenes of which a few of the spec- tators must have had some recollec- tions. A dance on the green by the young people of the Fourierite Set- tlement, according to their weekly custom, and the simple but impres- sive scenes connected with the founding of the college, completed the second part. A The third part reflected Riponis part in the national life. The founding of the Republican Party, the Rescue of Sherman Booth, and the departure of the soldiers for the Civil VVar, were the particular events presented. Following the Pageant, a tableau was presented by the members of the Senior class. The scene was entitled, 'iThe Crowning of the College Graduate , after its presentation, the members of the Grand Army escorted the veterans of the Spanish-American war for the welcome given at their home-coming. The Pageant was given on the southwestern corner of the campus. A large tent was erected on the hillside, where the natural rise of the ground formed a natural amphitheatre, well adapted for use as an auditorium. About fifteen hun- dred people witnessed the presentation, and ev- eryone pronounced the affair an entire success. - The music for the oc- casion was furnished by the College Orchestra, under the direction of Professor Brookes. The Cecilian Chorus, con- d uc t e d by Professor Bintliff, rendered th e C C choruses which preceded eachpart. The choruses were written by Professor Shurtleff, who also did most of the editorial work on 1 . The Rook of the Pageantf' which gave a detailed accot nt of each scene. PRoF1zssoR J. F. TAINTOR. I7
