These occasions, which are partly social and partly educational,

attendance was 1425, an average of a little more than 237 persons 
per “Day.” For the smoothness with which the social part of 
the ceremonies was conducted we are indebted as usual to the 
efficient services of the Woman’s Auxiliary as well as to members 
of the Junior League and the young women of the Botanic Garden 
personnel.
