Conflict With College That the board agreed to move the German from the first Monday in December is not surprising in view of developments in recent years. The first Monday in December was satisfactory in the era when the education of most girls was completed at finishing school.

But as more and more girls entered colleges, the date problem became more evident. Two years ago some mothers of debutantes protested informally against the traditional date and recommended that the German be moved from Monday to Friday. This suggestion was prompted largely by deans of educational institutions who were opposed to students breaking their campus routine. The deans, more intent on scholastic activities than on social calendars, in some instances informed parents that debutantes would lose points or marks if they stayed away from classes on Mondays and, possibly, the following Tuesdays. Arguments by parents that the Cotillon has been a major social event here since its founding in 1798 apparently had little or no effect on the educators.

Hardship On Debutantes There were debutantes in recent years who were compelled to fly from the campus after classes on Monday to attend the Cotillon and leave immediately afterward for school. Some changed from ball gowns to travel attire in Pennsylvania Station or in railroad cars. As college authorities became more adamant in their attitude and the hardship on the debutantes became more evident, it was obvious that a date change, if only as a trial, would come ultimately. Further, a change from Monday to Friday evening may be of advantage to escorts of the debutantes, who would enjoy a Saturday morning of rest at home instead of Tuesday at business. at the Marlborough-Blenheim Hotel in Atlantic City is Mrs.
