2,000 Down The Hill This Year; 4 In 1873
This year nearly 2,000 will take the long walk down the Hill to receive their diplomas. In comparison, the first graduating class at KU, in 1873, contained only four members
Those first four, however, didn't march to the stadium, but to the then recently completed Fraser Hall.
Carefully Planned
That first commencement was planned very carefully, and was much like the graduation exercises of eastern schools. It included a procession, the commencement address by Kansas Senator John J. Ingalls, presentation of the degrees by Chancellor Fraser, and following the ceremonies, a banquet.
Wooden Benches
The procession was led by the University band, followed by the graduating class, faculty members city, state and national officials, and the Chancellor and Sen. Inalls.
As the procession was entering Fraser, an aisle was formed for the Chancellor and Sen. Ingalls, who preceded the procession to the platform.
The audience sat on backless wooden benches in the uncompleted building.
When the ceremonies were over, the room was cleared and tables were set up for the banquet, which was described as "a grand thing."
