Custodial history
Scope and content
A collection of shot glasses given to graduates. Each glass has the year of graduation screened onto it.
In the Spring of 1954, the previous year's graduates, in concert with SAC (Students' Administrative Council), presented a "RYE '54" shot glass to each member of the class at their graduation dance. The "old" alumni filled each glass with an appropriate libation (Rye) and toasted the new alumni. While this first ceremony was conducted just for fun, the idea caught on. The filling of the glasses stopped when the number of graduates swelled in the 1960's, but the glasses continued to be handed out to graduates until 1993.
