Semi-Centennial Jubilee
Commencement,
Although nothing definite has
been settled, it is understood that
the Alumni committee on the Com
mencement Jubilee have plans,
which if materialized will make the
coming 50th Anniversary of the
founding of the College, a ‘ ‘hummer. ’ ’
They intend to ask the Board of
Trustees to set aside one day of
Commencement Week for the
Alumni, adding one day to the usual
number. It is rumored that the
Committee has $lOOO to spend and
as its members are “live ones,” we
may look forward to something out of
the usual run. They intend to ask
for McAllister Hall to use as Alumni
Headquarters and if this is granted
they will give a luncheon there on
Alumni Day, doing away with the
regulation Alumni luncheon in the
Armory. Efforts are being made
to make the attendance of “old
grads” a record-breaker.
The Creamery students have ar
rived. Fred Dodge is on hand
again to give them the benefit of his
experience.
