- Description:
- Looking north across the Arts Quad and President's Avenue (current location of Olin Library) over a dense crowd of spectators around a raised podium. The speaker faces out across the Arts Quad and the spectators face the camera. The spectators are primarily light skinned young men, most dressed in hats and jackets, some in striped boting blazers, and a few at the center in Ku Klux Klan robes; the majority have happy expressions on their faces. A few stragglers are walking toward the crowd from across the street and the quad.
