Graduation Exhibit

Included in this gallery are scanned copies of commencement documentation dating back to 1886. Included are programs from both spring and winter commencement ceremonies, baccalaureate services, and invitations to those events. Also included are photographs of many ceremonies and recordings (audio and video) of past ceremonies. This gallery will continue to grow as more examples of our school's history of graduations are discovered and preserved.
