Title
1923 VEISHEA parade float
Description
A VEISHEA parade float. People are standing on the back of a flatbed truck, two with instruments, and the float bears two large signs. One is a May calendar, mounted on the truck door. The other sign, centered on the truck bed, reads:""Marathon Dance Record / Coast to Coast / Present Record Ames / 1000,000 Hours.""
VEISHEA was first celebrated in 1922 as an effort to combine the various spring celebrations put on by each college into one large all-university celebration. The name VEISHEA represents each college at Iowa State College (University) at the time--Veterinary Medicine, Engineering, Industrial Science, Home Economics, and Agriculture.
