Description

photographic paper photography (process) This shows graduation or possibly May Day festivities -an outdoor parade on the quadrangle. The best clue as to the date is the absence of the large square brick smoke stack on the back of the Engineering building. All that is seen is a smaller stack. The big one was apparently removed around 1910 when power generation was moved from the Engineering building to the new heating plant (which is still in use in 1973). S. Mandel in "Proud Past - Bright Future" pg. 66, says that the class of 1911 was the last to graduate in Chautauqua and after that the graduations were held in Macky. So this could be around 1912. It is taken from a main floor window of the library (now the Little Theater) whose steps are here crowded. The lamps on the steps have globes - which are absent in earlier pictures. Most of the people in the parade are women although a number of faces are blurred making identity difficult. The people at the head of the line are in black robes with mortar board hats - hence the suggestion that this may be a graduation parade. All the women in white suggest it may be a May Day parade and this is supported by the distant group of women in white who appear to be holding arches of flowers. The time of day is about 2 or 3 p.m. The irrigation ditch is just north of the main sidewalk as it is today. The crowd is separated by the sidewalk because the people on the right are standing on the terrace to see over the heads of those below. It
