and Concert Opens
Ceremonies at 1 p.m.
Slowly returning to normal 'activities, Ivy Day this
year will bring back to the campus some of the traditions
which have been omitted during wartime in the past fev
years.
At 1 p. m. tomorrow in the coliseum the pageant and
ceremony which accompanies the crowning of the May
Queen, the planting of the ivy and masking of new Mortar
Boards will begin.
In 1901 the building of customs to be followed in fu
ture years was started on the annual senior class day. The
class poet and orator were introduced on that day.
Tapping of the 13 Innocents became a part of Ivy Day
in May, 1903. The organization was founded as a purely
Cornhusker group, having no affiliation with a national so
ciety, to foster student spirit.
