Caps and gowns clash at Boston University seniors
A humorous University of Boston dispute pits thirty senior women against twenty men over wearing caps and gowns. The sides exchange barbs as some women flip to not wearing the black regalia and the men claim they need dress suits for state occasions. Miss Mae E. Tripp leads the 30 with others opposing, while the 20 list dress concerns as their motive. The rift remains unsettled, with a decision expected next Thursday noon.
