True to the traditions of the school, decorations were in the class colors, Yale blue and gold, which simultaneously came into being that year as colors of the school. All the pomp and circumstance of such ceremonies took place and since that year the blue and gold emblems of AU have been waved and sung about at many campus affairs.
