“Well this is a start of a new tradition, that’s what 1901 is all about. We’re all about pride, tradition and history – connecting our students and alumni to the university. So this is us showing appreciation to the university that we love so much. That’s why we’re representing the class gift (tiger eyes). So this is just the start of what will become an annual tradition,” said Jessica Clements, President of the 1901 Student Alumni Organization.
