Commencement exercises consisted primarily of invocations, class speakers or the presentation of essays, honorary speakers and the awarding of degrees. Baccalaureate exercises occurred shortly before or after the commencements and consisted of hymns, prayers, and addresses. Baccalaureate services had more of a religious connotation as they always occurred on a Sunday. Separate Baccalaureate services were either merged with the commencement exercises or discontinued altogether by around the late 1960's.

The notebook has been disassembled and the pages have been arranged chronologically here, but the back pages of the brochures may not be readable.
