EJ .1. J mmmm' 1n;mm1'n;...:;n' tap 2111121 Ummn 1315 Senior Class Day Exercises embers of the class of 1914 spenl their last autlve day upon the University of Chicago campus in celebrating their traclilionnl class day exercises. From early morning until night one impressive oration Followed the other. The Juniors replied to these speeches. The ceremonies were opened with an oration by George Leisure following the raising of the American flag. Dean Boynton then addressed the class. He said that Ihe raising of the flag signified the passing of another group of men and women who had eompleled fnur years work; in short it was an emblem of the Right. of time. Next, the class prophecy was rend by Miriam Baldwin, in which the memhers of the class +5 were viewed through the looking glass. .The hammer, smybolicnl of the de- fense of traditions at the university, was presented to the Junior Chase by Rollin Hargcr. Since ex-Presidenl Roosevelt used it in 1902 to lay the cornerstone of the law library, it has heen the symbol of authority for the Senior Class, and thus for the university as n who1c. Coeffrey Levinson, in accepting it for the Juniors, promised to preserve the traditions with it and to break down evil customs, thereby building up the true spirit of Chicago. Horace Fitzpatrick then tendered the Senior Bench to the Juniors. It was pointed out that certain guardians must be appointed to protect the bench Item the unworthy. For the Juniors, Hugo Swan promised to care for it and rejoiced at being able to sit on it in peace. Then, the Cap and Gown. one of the greatest of university traditions, and the symhol of honor and truth of the succeeding class, was given by Sarah Thompson for the Seniors to Mary McDonald for the Juniors. The third year class accepted it after promising to do everything in their power to preserve and uherieh it. Soon thereafter, President Rudy Matthews addressed hi5 clues for the last time. He ex- pressed his sorrow that he would soon be compelled to diseonlinue his pleasant relations with the university and his classmates, hut rejoiced that four years work had been ncunmplishell in such a splendid manner by the class. Following Matthews. the class orator, Ernest Reichman, reviewed the class aetivilies, am! Dorothea Wushburne, the class historian, read a document. supposed :0 have been excavated 5,000 years or so hence, in which was found a record of the wonderful feats oi the individual members of the 1914 class. Dinner was served in the Commons. There extended ceremonies, conducted by the Seniors in their last stand as a class on the campus, finally closed by the presentation of the class gift, to the University. The gift presented lay Earl Shilton consisted of a loan fund from which ambitious students could borrow at a low rate of interest. Dean Angell, in the closing address, accepted the gift and commended its. donors for lheir high purposes. Thus did the curtain fall on the activities of another rlass.
