Commencement spans three days
By Linda Sleffel
The Centennial Commencement Exercises at 7 p.m. June 6 will climax three days packed with alumni reunions, concerts, initiatives of honorary organizations and luncheons, dinners and receptions honoring graduates and alumni.
A feature of the Commencement Exercises will be the presentation of five Distinguished Service Citations to alumni chosen from more than 200 nominees. Since KU does not award honorary degrees, the citations are the University's highest honor. Citeees have been chosen and their names will be released shortly, said Dick Wintermote, executive secretary of the Alumni Association.
ALL KU ALUMNI have been invited to return for the Centennial Commencement. They will be housed in Gertrude Sellars Pearson and McColum halls, and a series of reunions, parties and lunches are planned for five-year class groups. A special group, the Gold Medal Club, will include all alumni who graduated before 1916.
Commencement activities will begin at 9 a.m. June 4 with registration of all alumni in the Kansas Union.
