THE YALE PAGEANT

Last Saturday Yale University celebrated the 200th anniversary of the removal of that institution from Saybrook to New Haven. On October 17, 1716, the corporations voted to remove the college permanently, owing to the business and scholastic superiority of the larger town. On October 21, 1916, 8,000 persons participated in the largest pageant in the world--the "Pageant of the Town and Gown," symbolizing the bond of friendship between one of America's foremost educational institutions and its "home town."
