Fast Fade-Outs.
Changes 'Colors'
The University colors would
have probably been pink and
black today if not for a st:ght
oversight.
In 1887. the students unani
mously adopted dark pink and
black as the school colors. And
blazers were ordered in those
colors.
But in the rush of ordering the
blazers, the students did not ob
tain blazers with color-fast ma
terial.
As a result the pink faded to
white and the black became
lighter.
A few years later, almost
through necessity, the students
changed the colors to blue and
white. .
