Cap Night 1916

Cap Night was an important and colorful event. This was an annual mass meeting held in June at the end of the first college year. There was singing and speech-making during this celebration, and the highpoint of the evening occurred when the freshmen tossed their first-year caps into a bonfire (Source: Women's Voices, Bentley Historical Library, p. 84)
