TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI SI

There is a wild delight in the air, and then the great day is ended
by the exulting Frosh Cap Burning at night. A thousand or more
of our "infants" line up eight abreast and run the serpentine march
around the campus, each brandishing a colored torch, and finally
arrive at a giant bonfire behind the library slope. Here solemn
orations are delivered at the sad funeral services of the "Frosh"
caps. Then with a yell and uproar, the boys run round and cast into
the fiery grave the emblems of their froshdom. The evening ends
with songs to Alma Mater for we have just won a glorious day.

In the balmy evenings of May and June, the seniors assemble on
the majestic steps of Goldwin-Smith Hall and sing the good old
songs for the last time in their lives, perhaps. The girls and men
promenade on the green, now chattering, now listening intently to
the sweet strains of their college songs.
