Traditions





Traditions are not just old customs covered with moss and cobwebs and made to be broken.  They are to be honored, revered, and cherished.  They are the mark of age and an honorable past.  They are the net impressions on undergraduate life left by the hundred classes which have passed through old Reserve's halls since 1826.
-Official Handbook of Western Reserve University, 1926




On Wednesday, the day of the opening of the Cottage, five students arrived -- under great difficulties in the midst of carpenters, painters, plumbers, and gas-fitters -- five cots were made ready for them, and it being impossible to give them their dinner at the Cottage, we sent them to Mr. Ford's nearby.
