传统
庆祝韦尔斯利的传统
The rolling of hoops. The singing of class songs (VERY loudly). The giving of flowers from one generation to the next.
自从这些传统中的许多第一次被庆祝以来，韦尔斯利发生了很大的变化。最古老的节日“花星期天”可以追溯到1875年。每一代人都在这些事件上留下自己的印记。

Hooprolling
Hooprolling at Wellesley dates all the way back to 1885. Before it became a *highly* competitive race, it started as a way for students to blow off steam at the end of the year.
The race begins bright and early on a Saturday morning. Younger students camp out on Tupelo Lane to save a spot for their friends competing in the race.
高年级学生穿着毕业礼服和班级颜色的衣服，沿着图佩洛巷奔跑。
获胜者有幸被扔进瓦班湖，并被宣布成为班上第一个获得成功和幸福的人，不管她如何定义。

Class Colors
Each incoming class is assigned a color: red, green, purple, or yellow. Blue was one of the class colors until it was replaced with green (after blue became the college's official color in 1953).
On the last day of classes, seniors decorate the campus with their class colors.
And at reunion, alums return to campus decked out in their class color and ready to catch up with their Wellesley classmates.

步进唱法
Stepsinging began over 100 years ago when Houghton Chapel was built. Students began to gather at the steps and a new tradition was born.
每年上课的最后一天，都要为高年级学生唱歌和香槟祝酒。
Each class dresses in their respective colors —red, yellow, purple or green— and try to out-sing and out-cheer each other.
学生们在教室里唱歌Wellesley Song Bookthat includes“America the Beautiful” (lyrics by Katharine Lee Bates, class of 1880).

马拉松周一
波士顿马拉松比赛早在1897年就开始了。在第一场比赛中，学生们为他们从哈佛认识的一名跑步者欢呼。这发展成了现在被称为“尖叫隧道”的传统。
Students cheer on runners and offer high-fives, hugs and kisses of support.
尖叫隧道太吵了，一些跑步者说他们能听到一英里外的欢呼声。
Wellesley students make signs to encourage Marathon runners. Friends and family of the runners can even submit requests for signs online.

植树节
Each fall, Wellesley’s sophomore class plants a tree. There’s one for each class — going all the way back to the first class in 1879.
每年都要用仪式上的树日铁锹来种植这棵树。
仪式结束时，学生们在小纸条上写下信息和祝福，并把它们绑在树上。

Traying
韦尔斯利的冬天多雪，适合“旅行”（用餐厅托盘作为临时雪橇，从遣散山上疾驰而下）。
The tradition dates to at least the 1920s. No one knows exactly when it started, but this photo from 1925 shows that it’s been around for quite a while!
如今，大多数韦尔斯利餐厅不再使用托盘（作为节约用水的一种方式），因此学生们使用真正的雪橇或雪管来继续“旅行”传统。
Winter hijinks, we love you.

Flower Sunday
Flower Sunday claims the honor of being the oldest and longest-surviving tradition at Wellesley.
对许多新生来说，离家的第一个星期天可能会带来一点思乡之情。鲜花星期天是庆祝姐妹情谊和新学年开始的一种方式。
每年秋季,new students are matched with a Wellesley big sister. At Flower Sunday, big sisters bring bouquets of flowers to their “littles” as an official welcome to Wellesley.
It’s held each year in September and features multicultural and multifaith song, music, poetry and dance.

湖日
湖日is the perfect way for students to take a break from studying and let loose for an unexpected day of fun.
Each year, the date of Lake Day is kept TOP SECRET until the night before when an invitation goes out to the Wellesley community.
湖日takes on a different theme each year — everything from Game of Thrones to Alice and Wonderland to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
一个学生团体，施耐德董事会(SBOG), hosts this celebration. There's fried dough, carnival food, fun games, and inflatables.
