On The Hill
May Day is Peaceful Now But a Battle Raged in 1891
May 1 will be just another day at the University as it has been since back in 1922, however, there was once the time when May day was a day of battle on the Hill.
On the morning of May 1, 1891, students saw a banner bearing the figures 32 flying on top of a 40-foot pole in front of Fraser hall. Apparently this was too much for the seniors for several of them set upon the guards of the banner, beginning a battle which raged all day.
By the end of the day the entire student body was involved in the struggle of which the sophomore class was the winner. They succeeded in having their '83 banner flying on the tall pole that evening.
The following year, 1892, the junior class put their flag atop a stout iron pole which no class was able to tear down, in spite of the battle over the flag in which "many of the boys had the greater part of their clothing torn to shreds," as one observer reported.
The annual May day class battles continued until 1904 when two students were injured in the struggle. The next year students evidently decided that the struggle was a little too rough for the matter was dropped after the sophomores had succeeded in burying the freshmen in effigy.
A somewhat less vigorous celebration was instituted in 1908. In the form of a May fete on the campus. Women students in Trilly. White dresses wound traditional May poles in front of Fraser hall and a May queen was elected. Celebrations of this type continued until 1922, when May day became just another day.

Keeping the world's best telephone system growing for our country is a big and challenging job. There are opportunities for college men with the right qualifications not only with Bell's corps of research scientists, but also in engineering, operations, and administration, with the Bell Telephone Companies and Western Electric, the System's manufacturing and supply unit.
Sound being a basic raw material of the Bell System, we have pioneered in the science of speech. Measuring the properties of your voice leads to better and cheaper ways to transmit it.
the mouth that'll never be kissed
Until Bell Laboratories scientists design an electric mouth that can pucker, the human model is here to stay. But we have built a machine that can imitate human vocal characteristics—from the slate-pencil squeal of a girls' cheering section to the basso rumble in a men's dining hall.
Your campus placement office will be glad to give you more information.
