Excerpt from Wellesley: Compiled and Edited by the Executive Board of the Wellesley College Alumnae Association, 1914-1916This Tradition Book has been compiled by the Executive Board of the Alumnae Association, serving from 1914 to 1916, with a view to establishing a record of the origin and development of College customs and traditions. There have been many records from which material has been drawn. The Legendas of 1898, 1906 and 1908 have accounts of the various festival days, and histories of certain college organizations. The News and Magazine have published from time to time short descriptions of by-gone Tree Days, and Floats, and the Historical Committee of the Alumnae Association has preserved a splendid collection of original documents, such as programs and back files of college publications, which contain a great deal of valuable and interesting material. This book has tried to bring together, from all these sources, as much information as possible concerning the ceremonies and customs of undergraduate life. To the authors of the Legendas, the editors of the Magazines, and above all to the officers of the Library, and to the Historical Committee, the thanks of the editor are due, and are hereby gratefully rendered.An attempt has also been made to supplement these general accounts by personal reminiscences. In the accounts of Tree Day, Float and May Day, and the organization of Student Government, such material has been most happily obtained. But there is yet need for stories of other Wellesley Days.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
