Note:  There was no play this year because Washington Hall had been converted into a dormitory the last year of the Civil War to accommodate increased enrollment. In addition, the April assassination of President Abraham Lincoln may have influenced the celebration of the day. See Washington Hall at Notre Dame, 42-43.
