Trustees hosted a June 7 luncheon for the first graduates after commencement exercises in Brooks Hall. Weather forced the event indoors, with seniors and several trustees attending the luncheon before moving to the Alumnae reception.
The page excerpt describes the 1911 Class Day events with Agnes Burke distributing Carnegie hero awards and humorous gifts. It mentions a new Chair of Fashion for Agnes Denike at the University, a lecture on “How to Dress Well,” and jokes about Professor Brewster’s coat tails. Other scenes include rewards for missionaries, a Heaven delegation, and Wings granted for early entry. Ethel Leveridge receives a music howl with a Spoon, while 1911’s gift to the college is the flag staff in the quadrangle. Phi Beta Kappa electees and a class valedictory accompany the ceremony.
The piece contrasts spring and fall within a college year, noting energy and weariness, rush of events, and a push toward growth. It urges directing renewed life into deliberate progress to yield a fruitful harvest.
