...Spreads, confetti, band stands, reunions, outings, all are ready to burst forth as riotous adjuncts to the day's fun. Rumor has it that the Ivy Orator is in record-breaking form, and, while rehearsing his effusion on lonely golf-courses, far from the ear of mortal man, has even himself been rocked by unholy glee. The Glee Club, too, is reported to be in fighting trim, and straining at the leash for the evening's operations on the moonlit steps of Widener. Spreads will be spread thick in every nook and cranny of the Yard, and many will...
Class Day, war or no war, is a time for rejoicing. It is the day of reunions, of confetti, of lantern lights, of beautiful girls,--it is, above all, the one day when everyone should be happy. This year's Class Day is going to be far different from Class Days in the past. There will be no impressive Stadium exercises, and out of a class of five hundred only half the Seniors will be on hand.

...other features of the Stadium exercises will be carried out as usual: These features include the singing by the Glee Club, the cheering by the various classes and graduates, the presentation of the Class Banner to the Freshman Class, and the confetti battle.

The Baccalaureate Sermon will be given by President Lowell in Appleton Chapel Sunday, June 17, at 4 P. M. Immediately following, President and Mrs. Lowell will hold a reception...
...Class Day ceremonies in the Stadium seem to me to be singularly monotonous and inconclusive. Except for a more or less witty Ivy Oration and the very pretty slinging of streamers and confetti there is nothing but a dull series of cheers. Since this occasion is largely a reunion of graduates, and since even among undergraduates only a part of the Freshmen are not supposed to have seen it before, could not some scheme be devised by which this ceremony could be made more entertaining to all present? I submit this to the serious consideration of the 1915 Committee...
