Old Gold Day is perhaps a more real holiday for us than any other. It is not getting away from campus, it is not a change of environment, it's in no way a dissipation or even a waste of time. Its name is very significant. It is, as this implies, a day at DePauw devoted to encouraging and fostering the love of the school. Instead of a carnival amid strangers, it is a family gathering.
All barriers are down and in the truest sense, democracy prevails.
