White Dinner 2022

Posted on: December 7, 2022
  • News

 Last Friday Wilson College celebrated White Dinner and the Hankey Center shared some history on this Wilson tradition.

In 1925, the festive dinner was described in the Billboard: “The white clad college family, the flickering light of many candles, the carols of the College Choir, the plea for financial gifts to those less fortunate than ourselves, the general air of congeniality and good spirits-all these were factors in making the White Dinner 1925 a true fulfillment of the Wilson tradition in which the YWCA shall be in charge of a Christmas dinner on the last Saturday before Christmas vacation.”
