The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-02-04
A Strenuous Prog ra IN me.

To-days programme was all the more
strenuous for the reason that the faculty
had cut in two the time for the prom
week dongs. There have been the Glee
Club concert ut Woolsey Hall. all the
teas at the Sheffield Society houses and
then-~hy that party that every girl in
the world wants to go to sometime. the
prom.
The first of the fortytwo dances OF the
promenade was led off n little after 8
tonight by J. Walker I'D and Miss Mary
Alexander OF New York. Walker IL floor
manager of the prom committee. Just
after him in the grand march were H. A.
Pumpelly chairman OF the committee "a
young man who has something OF a rec
ord as an athlete), with Miss Anita Car
rington Of New Haven.
The other committeeman with their
partners were -. Allen with Miss Anne
Carter OF Memphis NJ. Il. Blackmer. Miss
Anna Ballard of New York city: q. b.
Blossom Miss Isabel Stoughton OF Phila-
delphia NJ O. Carter. Miss Zana Har-
vey of Memphis. Tenn. T. Il. Denegre.
Miss Taylor, New orleans La. A. Mac
Leish. Miss Clara Whittlesey of New York
city H. 81. Woodruff, Miss Eleanor Bias
ley, Baltimore W. NJ. Shedden. Miss Shed
den of Brookline, Mass. l.. j. Stackpoie,
Jr, Miss Elizabeth Bailey OF Philadelphia !;
j. T. pendleton and =. II. Davenport.
The prom is being held at the Second
Regiment armory, where the fathers or
the present undergraduates went to their
proms The decorators said this after
noon when they finished their work that
the place WAS Japanese garden. Inc
first thing you saw was Fushiyama rising
IN back of the committee boxes on
other sides the guests boxes were banked
deep i'm gorgeous looking wistaria.
Danced as They Pleased.
And about the dancing Itself. Many
queries had been sent in To the prom
committee asking ii II really were so
that "A person couldn't dance As his or
her own sense OF propriety dictated. II
wasn't so. No faculty ban had been
placed on this or that dancing. Dean
Frederick ; Jones said - to-day when
he explained that there wasn't any need
for faculty Interference.
SO at the prom they danced as he
and she thought best. No one doubted
that the newest and most fashionable
dances were the best And they were.
The only prom matter In which the
students were AZ variance with the
faculty was the elimination Of saturday
and sunday as days FOR dancing and
parties. This year nothing began until
Monday hut as compensation the en-
tire college had a three days vacation
that was partly for regeneration and
had never been allowed before,
Just when the dancing will be over FOR
this prom" is hard to say. The faculty's
edict is that II shall end at tomorrow
morning The armory will close then 20
he sure but men have found other places
to dance and when YOU read your paper
In the morning II may b. that tbs prom"
isn't over even then.
