gold. the college colors, were gracefully
hung about the sides of the gallery, from
which also great streamers of the same
colors were hung and gathered on clus-
ter above the center of the hall. Blue
streamers, dotted with stars of gold,
dropped gracefully from the center of the
ceiling.
The broad stage was also draped with
blue and gold streamers and groups OF
American flags. Suspended on wires
along the front of the stage were golden
letters forming the inscription. "Uni-
yersity of California, College of Dem
tistry." In addition, on the front of the
stage were four pedestals draped with yell
low bunting, on which were the
golden letters .U' and &C." with shields
Of stars aud stripes as background.
AS the last strains OF the opening march
died away the fifty-two graduates filed in
from the eastern entrances, all cIad in the
flowing classic collegiate gowns and wear
ing tasseled mortar boards.
