In 1896, Jane Stanford gave permission for the Pioneer Class to install a bronze plate featuring their class year numerals under the Main Quad arcade, and the tradition of the Class Plaque Dedication ceremony was born. Each year in the spring quarter, seniors can put an item in the time capsule that will be placed underneath their class plaque when it is laid in the arcade walk of the Quad.
