The variations from the usual Commencement program are merely those in the names of speakers and in the titles-of the entertainments which are provided. As previously announced, the Baccalaureate Sermon will be preached by the Reverend Charles E. Jefferson, D.D., of the Broadway Tabernacle, New York City. The annual operetta which occurs on Monday evening, June 26, has chosen "The Summer Bachelors" for a name. Unusual interest attaches to the President's Reception, which will constitute the formal opening of Parkhurst Hail, the beautiful new administration building, gift of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Parkhurst. The festivities of Commencement really begin with the Sing-Out and Wet-Down ceremonies which mark the close of senior examinations on June 16. After that a week intervenes before the regular exercises are held.
