Stanford Quad 1910 Those Rowdy Sophomores! The Sophomore-Freshman Rush The opening of college brought with it the usual hurry and bustle of registration and the selection of courses of study. Xo sooner had these topics ceased to hold the attention of the student body than interest cen- tered in the coming rope-tying contest, held annually between the two lower classes. Speculation as to the probable outcome of the struggle was indulged in, and from the amount of spirit shown at the meetings of the respective classes indications pointed to a lively scrimmage. In accordance with custom the president f the Junior class issued the call for a Freshman class meeting, and one hundred and fifty green but gritty babies answered the summons. A yell committee was chosen and a captain elected to lead the Freshman forces in the struggle. The organization of the class, the meeting ])lacc and the method of attack were secretly arranged. On the same day the Sophomore class held its initial meeting, and unusual enthusiasm and no little mirth was brought forth by the stirring, patriotic and somewhat sensational speech of the class president. Here also secret provisions were made for every feature of the struggle. 18

Assembly Hall by the New Y(irk Symphony Club under the leader- Stanford ship of Walter Damrosch. This final concert of the year was largely Quad attended and proved a great success. 1910 On Sunday, May 17th, Rev. William Horace Day, D. D., of Los Angeles delivered the Baccalaureate Sermon in the Assembly Hall. A fair sized audience listened to a most excellent sermon. The event of greatest importance on Monday, the i8th, was the open meeting of the Stanford Law Association at which lr. John Slater Partridge delivered a strong address. This meeting was largely attended by the students as well as faculty. At the close of this meet- ing the law men attended a luncheon at the Inn, where Mr. George Crothers, Mr. Partridge and Professor Woodward were the speakers of the occasion. In the e ' ening an inf(.)rnial reception and dance was held at Encina Clubroom. Tuesday at ten o ' clock the faculty and alumni crossed bats in a game of baseball, the victory going to the former. At one o ' clock the Annual Alumni Reception and Banquet was held at Roble Hall. A ivitty speech by Mr. English was the feature of the program. On Wednesday, May 20th, the Commencement Exercises were held in the Assembly Hall. A large number of the class gathered at the chapel at ten o ' clock, where a line of march was formed, each department organized as a distinct group. After filing once round the Quad the procession was joined by the Academic Council and Board of Trustees who preceded the class into the Hall. The commence- ment address was given by Mr. Earnest Carrol Moore of Los Angeles. After the conferring of degrees. Dr. Jordan delivered his address to the graduating class. This last affair ended commencement week and Naughty Eight was launched into the great world. Not with the great joy and glad- ness of the usual commencement, but under the shadow of struggle and disappointment they went forth. May there never be again such a commencement as that of 1908. W. C. Shelton, ' 08.
