By BILL ROSS Nebraskan Reporter The arrival of spring always stimulates a special sentimental ity in the hearts of some of the more devoted students and alumni It is the time when school tradl tion is most prevalent. Some traditions are still ob served and practiced while others have faded away. Most of these traditions such as Ivy Day, the tackling of the Innocents, the masking of. Mortar Boards, the crowning of the May Queen, are well known and orig inated, long before even the most senior members of the faculty can remember. Dr. G. W. Rosenlof, Dean of Ad missions, said that Ivy Day was here' when he came to the Uni versity over thirty years ago. Dean Rosenlof also pointed out that the gates and the columns have historical significance. The gates were first used when the University campus was small enough to be completely enclosed by a high iron fence. The gates were locked at a certain time each night and reopened in the morning. Evidently, the women's residences were also within the enclosure. As the campus grew the en closure became. too small and the fences had to be torn down. The fence now encloses Wyuka ceme tery on east O street. The gates however, were lost and recently turned up in a scrap pile on Ag campus. Since then they have been reconditioned, installed, and dedicated to the University. There are some events that are not regarded as traditional but which were practically born wun the University. In 1887. the Hesperian Student, which was the student publication of that time, planned a "great field day" which was a combina tion of All-Sports Day and Spring Day. The "Field Day" was" to con sist of the overture by the cadet band, dress parade of the bat talion, contest drill by volunteer squads, football game, Crete vs. University eleven, wheelbarrow race, sack race, barrel race, throwing contest, wrestling and boxing, running race, women's screaming match, and a baseball game between Kansas State and the University. According to the Hesperian Stu dent much of the elaborate pro gram failed to materialize but nevertheless the Field Day was held. Among the prizes awarded were a Dunlap hat for the winner of the 100-yard dash, a copy of Raw- linson's Ancient Monarchies to go to the winner of the wheelbarrow race and complete works for the best wrestler. No one entered the jumps when they found there were no prizes for the winners. Naturally, there were also many customs and fads that did not evolve into tradition as this ex cerpt from the Hesperian points out. "Tobacco chewing was not un common. Nearly all the walls of University. Hall (the first build ing on campus where all classes were held) were frescoed with to bacco juice. Although the W.C.T.U. petitions relating to the use of tobacco were unfounded in 1887, the Board of Regents prohibited smoking on campus and in buildings in 1899. At the first faculty meeting in 1871, the professors decreed that ten unexcused absences from class meant a student's suspension. According to regulations, each student had an assigned seat in chapel. Attendance at devotional exercises was compulsory, as was church attendance on Sunday. Obviously, all of the rulings havt not survived as tradition. But from the Hesperian we find that student behavior tradition al on all campuses was essen tially the same then as it is now, although perhaps more poetically described. "The students were not much dif ferent at the turn of the century than those who attended the Uni versity during the seventies. Romance was always present and the University steps were a Mecca where hours were whiled away with bright and witty re marks sometimes under a shawl."
