Campus Canards [Anti-suffrage March]

The Hesperian Student, November 1, 1882

After the defeat of a vote for women's suffrage in Nebraska, anti-suffrage students form a procession with a casket to "bury the issue." The band accompanied the procession performing a dirge. Despite being attacked by pro-suffrage students, the band and anti-suffragists continue to march up and down O Street playing music to celebrate the defeat of women's suffrage.
