The Zllumni Reunion 1923 H9 w:fv.t-a..,Wi,, ..x,., ' HE Reunion of i923 fully measured up to expectations and surpassed those of previous years both in spirit and activity. It began Tuesday evening, June the fifth, with a farewell dinner to Professor Frederick Starr, sponsored by the Kongo I3 Club. Frecldie,' made an address in his usual witty style, and proved his versatility by speaking again on the fol- lowing evening at the Anniversary dinner of the class of i923 without repeat- ing a single joke. Thursday night came the C dinner with Mr. Stagg presiding, and with cheer in the hearts of the Alumni, who had previously proved their Worth by defeating the varsity in baseball. The Annual lnterfraternity Sing, held on Friday night, was the best in the history of this traditional event, for it brought out the largest number of fraternity men which had ever participated. After the fraternities had ceased to sing, Mr. Stagg awar-ded the C blankets, and the program closed with the singing of the Alma Mater. The Alumnae Breakfast, which started the activities on Alumni Day, Sat- urday, June the ninth, was held as usual in Ida Noyes Hall. The gathering was very large with more than two hundred forty Alumnae attending. The pro- gram which was extremely interesting, included speeches from the Alumnae in foreign lands, at home, and on the faculty, and from the graduating class. The afternoon events began auspiciously with a baseball victory of 5-4 over Indiana. The Aides and Marshalls then conducted a tour of the new buildings on the quadrangles for the older Alumni. A Foster Hall Reunion in honor of Miss Myra Reynolds was attended by many Foster Alumnae. 1 I , Www H ,, , no -- Pugc' Tllirty

The Qlumni lieuninn 1923 The class parade, headed by a troop from the Military Science Departj ment and the University Band, was gay and successful. The many floats and the Alumni, in bright costumes, proceeded around the quadrangles and into Stagg Field. Behind the band came a float on which was displayed the key- stone of the old University. 'Other Hoats represented a Roman chariot and a kindergarten presenting the children of the class of '08. The Shanties, too, were conspicuous in their maroon tams. At Stagg Field the judges, headed by President Burton and Charles F. Axelson '07, awarded the banners. The class of l908 Won the banner for the best anniversary float, and l922 that for the best showing outside of the anniversary classes. After the parade Jacob Newman '73, representing the fiftieth anniversary class and the old University, presented the stone from the old University building. President Burton gave the speech of acceptance. A A play was then presented by the class of '03 to prove its qualifications for admission to the Shanties on its twentieth anniversary. The play entitled A Nlummery, or None ls lVlum,,' was enthusiastically received, and it was voted that the class had properly qualified for admission to the Shanties. Thereupon the Shanty cap and gown were presented to the class of '03. Next, the class of 1923 was initiated into the Alumni Association an-d proudly re- ceived the class umbrella. The Reunion Supper was held in Bartlett Gymnasium, amid much cheer- ing and singing. Alumni Day closed with a charming garden party and dance in Hutchinson Court. The entire Reunion-as an annual event and as tribute to President Burton at his first Reunion-was decidedly successful and added a notable chapter to Reunion history. Page Thirty-one
