ASSOCIATED SCHOOLS HOLD COMMENCEMENT

On the evening of April 24 the three associated schools of the College held joint graduation exercises. Diplomas were presented to thirty-four men by President Nichols, in the presence of the Trustees of the College, the Overseers of the Thayer School, and the combined faculties of the three schools. Ten men received the degree of Civil Engineer, eighteen the degree of Master of Commercial Science, and six that of Doctor of Medicine.

At the graduation dinner each school was represented among the speakers by one member of the faculty and one of the graduating class. The representatives of the Medical School were Doctor Gile and A. W. Burnham; of the Thayer School, Professor Fletcher and H. A. Barends; and of the Tuck School, Professor Shelton and C. C. Meleney. Practically all of the graduates of these schools have already accepted positions for the coming year.

The degrees granted by the Medical School are the last which will be conferred in that department. The School has been in continuous existence since 1798, when a class of two was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Medicine. The degree of Doctor of Medicine was not granted until 1812.
