Historical Sketch
The origin of Old Gold Day at DePauw is found in the desire of President Edwin Holt Hughes, the faculty and the student council to find a suitable substitute for the uncontrolled and unregulated outbursts of class rivalry and animosity between the Freshmen and Sophomores. On November 12, 1907, it was decided that the following Saturday should be a holiday and "that a custom known as Old Gold Day would be inaugurated". More recently, Old Gold Weekend has been known as "A Weekend to Recognize Outstanding Alumni Achievement."
