133rd Annual University Day Exercises at UNC-CH, Oct. 9, 1926

University Day Exercises Will be Held Tuesday, 133rd Anniversary of the Laying of First Cornerstone. . . A.M. Scales Is Speaker

University Day to be held on Tuesday promises to be an impressive occasion. This day is the 133rd anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone of Old East building.

Plans for the program were discussed by the faculty committee on public ocasins and celebrations last Saturday. Their sub-committee conferred with the leaders of student organizations for the purpose of encouraging their participation. The procession will form at the Alumni building at 10:30 and the faculty dressed in their academic costume will follow the march of the University Band. The classes in their order from senior to freshman will come next.

In Memorial Hall there will be brief ceremonies lasting only an hour. An address from Alfred Scales of Greensboro will be interesting to all. The roll of University men who have died in the past year will be read. The University orchestra will entertain, and the Glee Club will sing “Integer Vitae” and other selections.

The new University march sung to the tune of the “Song of the Vagabonds” will be played by the band as the procession is led to Memorial Hall. Fitting words have been written to the Song of the Vagabonds which will truly emphasize the new era of Carolina spirit.
