Procession for College Day /Mckee Birthday

‹ Return to Procession for College Day /Mckee Birthday

College day was initiated by the students themselves in annual celebration of Leila McKee’s birthday on October ninth. Miss McKee’s chapel talks were always inspiring; her birthday chapel talk set the standard for the year and was anticipated with great pleasure by the old students, for it introduced their beloved Miss McKee to the new arrivals. The day usually ended with a picnic and yearly it became more and more of an occasion until it finally became a festive day of welcome to the news students and in 1905 was named “College Day”.
