BLUES Z-526 Published Weekly By The Students of Queens-Chicora College Vol. ig No. 11 QUEENS-CHICORA COLLEGE, CHARLOTTE, N. C. December 15, 1938 Formal Dinner Of Christmas Held Tonight Observing of Boar’s Head To Be Revived Here This Year The Christmas formal dinner which is scheduled for 6:30 o’clock Thurs day evening, Dec. 15 is an important, festive occasion every year. All boarding students, faculty members, executive board members of the col lege and their wives, and some guests from the city will be present for this dinner. Mrs. Virginia Agnew, dean of the college, will preside. After an introduction of the spe cial guests, Mrs. C. W. Kuykendal will give a Christmas reading in terspersed with Christmas carols sung by a small group of girls. Unique for this occasion will be the observing of a custom. The Boar’s Head, which has been ob served at Queens College of Oxford University, England, since 1340. (Bryn Mawr has observed the cere mony for several years with modifica tions.) Five years ago the custom Was begun in our college. An ex planatory talk of this custom will lie given by Miss Rena C. Harrell, college librarian, followed by the flourish of a trumpet and the en trance of the procession bringing in a Boar’s Head, with much pomp and good cheer, to the accompani ment of a Boar’s Head Carol. The evening’s entertainment in the dining room will be brought to a close with a talk by Dr. W. H. Frazer, president of the college, and an invitation to all to a Christmas tree which is traditionally held in Burwell Hall for the servants. The custom of bringing in the boar’s head was begun here at Queens-Chicora College five years ago, because of the similarity of the names of Queens College, Oxford, and the name of our school. The words to the song are as fol lows : The Bore’s Heed in hand bring I ^ith garlands gay and rosemary. And I pray you all sing merely Qui es-tis in con viv-i-o! The Bore’s Heed, as I understande Is the chefe servyce in this lande Loke, where-ever it be fande . . • Servi-te cum can-ti-co! Onr Stewarde hath provided this In honor of the King of Bliss Which on this day to be served is In Red-i-men-si Atri-o! Chorus: Caput a-pri de- fe- ro. Red-dens lau-des Com-i- no!
