Committee Appointed to Bring Matter to Attention of Alumni—

Hope to Stimulate Interest.

For some years past it has been a common remark that the attendance
on the part of our alumni and old
students at Commencement time is very much smaller than at most of
the colleges and universities, even with those having a smaller number
of graduates. The faculty and Board of Trustees deplore this fact, and at a meeting of the executive committee

m

of that board recently held, C. E. Treman was appointed chairman of a committee to bring this matter to the attention of the alumni, with a view of developing more interest and greater attendance on the part of the alumni in the exercises and festivities of Commencement Week.
The desirability from the viewpoint of both the University and the old students and graduates of keepingcloser relations must be self evident.
The committee appointed takes this means of bringing the matter to your attention with the view of enlisting your personal interest in this
work, and will be glad to have any

information as to the members of

classes, committees and sugestions as

ways in which this can be brought

The alumni are also reminded that the annual meeting of the Alumni Association is held on Wednesday of Commencement Week, at which many graduates from classes not holding reunions are present.
Also on Thursday, immediately after the Commencement exercises, the University dinner is held, to which all visiting alumni are invited.
New System of Examinations.
Professor H. Wade Hibbard, '01, M. E., of Sibley College, has introduced something distinctly new in the way of giving examinations. He prac-

Suddenly the lights in the beautifully decorated hall went out. A .faint chorus of exclamations was immediately followed by the opening strains of "Alma Mater" from the
musicians and then by it resounding volume of human voices. Faintly at first, then with gradually increasing brilliance a myriad of lights glowed in the room. Guests and coΐlege men finished the words of their favorite song as the lights grew to their full force.
Thus the junior week promenade of the Cornell class of 1904 \vas opened Friday night at the University Armory. No such effective beginning of a big dance had been offered and as the hundreds of couples gHded away

ate, but light green and light blue were also much worn.
The lighting effects introduced for the first time by Chairman E. H. Greenwood a/nd his committee were the most novel features of the dance. No other committee had attempted anything of the sort and the result of the plans this year was a notable success.
The Pan-American opening of the .prom was followed throughout the evening by shading of the lights during the dance numbers. While the beautiful waltzes were being played by the Lyceum orchestra, t e lights were dimmed, giving the music an added effect which was charming.
The Decorations.

the class "1904" made of puffed cloth
and colored lights. In the fraternity boxes the dπrker
colored furniture and rugs contrasted beautifully with the lighter effects and
added the item needed to give the room an appearance more cosy and less formal than was made by the room decorations.
This was the setting for the dance and as the numbers followed each other in swift succession the evident happiness of the dancers proved how successful had been the plans of the dancing committee.
The first number was played at 9:50 o'clock. From that hour until
7:30 o'clock next morning there was no cessation to the merry whirl.

take 15 minutes, another 10, another 30, another 40 and still others 35, 20 or 60. If the examination is three
hours long the student must answer
180 minutes of questions. If the ex-

The total for all question set is about 700 minutes, the student thus really

A Fit Setting.

Green and white were the colors used last night. The boxes about the sides of the hall were marked off by pillars with a gable effect in front. The rear walls of the stalls were made of alternate green and white bands of cloth with large rosettes of cloth in the middle of each panel. On
the ceiling were eight great hoίlow pyramids with apexes a: the top »f the building. The cloth used on the
ceiling was alternate strips of green and white also.

Ithaca's best musicians exerted themselves to the utmost to please thfe gnests. The band, lead by Patsy COIK way, numbered 28 pieces, and the orchestra, under direction of George L. CoΓeman, included 25 players. A total of fully 90 numbers was rendered. There were 21 regular waltz
numbers and 20 regular two-steps.

SOPHOMORE COTILLION.

Event Held in Armory Proves Noteworthy Occasion—Details Well Arranged—Those Present.

The Sophomore Cotillion was held

last Wednesday night in the Armory

for the first time in the history of

Junior Week. The old precedent of

holding this function in the Lyceum

was set aside on conditions that the

committee be limited as to the amount

spent on decorations and refresh-

ments. Notwithstanding this restric-

tion, the dance easily eclipsed all pre-

vious Sophomore events.

The bare interior of the Armory was

entirely covered with artistic draper-

ies of the Cornell colors. The ceiling

was hidden by a canopy of white, re-

lieved by carnelian streamers. The

boxes were arranged along the walls,

being separated by pillars draped in

white. In the middle on one side

was a box for the band and on the

other, one for the orchestra. A lat-

ticed effect of red and white, beauti-

fied with a profuse sprinkling of smi-

lax, formed a background against

which the boxes and gowns of varied

colors were cast in brilliant relief.

The effect was most pleasing.

The Sophomore dance, although

not intended as a rival to the Junior

ball, was well attended, especially

One of the interesting features of
the dance was the ingenuity exercised in the different cotillion figures by R. W. Chase, leader, and his assistants, Erskine P. Wilder and B. O. Williams. These were five in number, and enjoyable, not only to those
who participated, but to the onlookers as well.
The first figure was in the form of a grand march, the favors being small hoods of red and white for the ladies, and toy automobiles for tKe men. Another figure was a Maypole dance
in which nearly 50 couples participated. The fourth figure was a rush. The men were placed in a body at the east end of the room and the ladies at the other. At a signal all rushed to find their partners. The favors were very pretty, being dolls for the ladies and pipes for the men.
The last figure, and by far the most
unique and picturesque of the evening

ing of the evening, consisted of Cornell flags and steins.
After these figures, the regular dances were begun, and it was not until 3 o'clock when, according to one
of the restrictions placed upon the committee, the excellent music, which was furnished by a large orchestra, under the direction of George Coleman, and a band of 20 pieces, led by "Patsy" Conway, ceased and the tired crowd of dancers left.
The cotillion will long be remembered, not alone because it was the first held in the Armory, but because it was in every way so well arranged and so perfect in every detail.
The committee in charge was as follows :

The "Heidelberg Stein Song," in which Mr. Ryon was soloist has a swing and rythmic movement, which immediately catches the attention. A new "Drinking Song" by William Luton Wood was also sung. At its last appearance the Mandolin club played "Halimar," "Cosey Corner/' and a "Medley."
