No little-Eva-crossing-the-ice stunts were given the freshmen this year in the traditional Delta Alpha activities, but instead there was substituted a more rational and certainly more humorous form of gentle hazing that took the college by storm. For one week the campus was a huge circus ring in which the freshmen presented pageants, burlesque shows, and strange pantomimes. There was great rivalry between the dormitories to see which troupe of vaudevillians could outdo the other for sheer cleverness of makeup and ideas. Palaeopitus supervised the election of dormitory committees in charge of Delta Alpha and made the men chosen responsible for all proceedings.
