Traditions
Traditions have historically played an important role in Cottey residential life. Without other forms of entertainment, the women of Cottey College created and passed down many traditions, which are one of the distinguishing marks of the college today. Participation in traditions today is optional.
Until the 1960s, first-year students were known as juniors and second-year students as seniors ("cSc"). In 1967, juniors became known as freshmen ("fcc"). Seniors have passed down denim jackets with ducks painted on the back for approximately 40 years; most traditions, however, remain surprises to the freshmen.

Famous quotes containing the word traditions:
“Napoleon never wished to be justified. He killed his enemy according to Corsican traditions [le droit corse] and if he sometimes regretted his mistake, he never understood that it had been a crime.”
