History
the occasion, this was not the case.
Commencement was then preceded by a full week of activities. The first graduation included four days of events, including the baccalaureate exercises, delivered by the Rev. Richard Cordley of the Plymouth Congregational Church, speeches by graduating seniors and the planting of a class vine.
With all the fuss over the first commencement, it may seem strange that the graduates of the earliest years are still sporting the traditional caps and gowns.
"Across the Years on Mount Oread," wrote, "As nearly as I can determine, the class of 1897 was the first to appear in collegiate caps and gowns at Commencement."
Sen. John J. Ingall, was invited to deliver the main commencement ad-
traditional cape and green sleeves
Robert, Taft, author of the book.
Other class traditions of the early days included the composing of the class yell. One class came up with:
"The earth we'll move!
The stars we'll fix!
Rock chalk! Jayhawk!
Class of '96!"
And still another yelled:
"We know it all!
We can't be taught!
Rock chalk! Jayhawk!
Class of '09!"
