Graduation ceremony to be streamlined
The University of Kansas will introduce a few changes in this year's commencement weekend in an attempt to make the traditionally long weekend a little more streamlined.
Innovations this year are two luncheons which will replace a traditional supper and breakfast.
An All-Class Reunion Luncheon is scheduled for 1 p.m. May 31 in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Representatives of the reunion classes, the Gold Medal Club and Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. are scheduled to speak at the luncheon.
The luncheon replaces separate luncheons the classes have had in the past and will be the only gathering for all alumni. There will be no all-University commencement supper as there has been in the past.
The second new luncheon is for seniors and their parents and replaces the senior breakfast
which has been a tradition. Chalmers and the senior officers are the speakers at the luncheon, which will be at 1 p.m., May 31, in the Union Ballroom. The change was adopted in conjunction with the two-ceremony graduation plan.
The two-ceremony graduation change is viewed as a necessary adaptation to the format adopted last year which called for two separate ceremonies to award graduation degrees. That change was adopted because the commencement committee felt it could not give proper recognition to more than 3,000 graduates in a single ceremony.
This year advanced degrees will be awarded the evening of May 31 and undergraduate degrees will be awarded June 1.
Graduation ceremonies will begin at 8 p.m., May 31 and June 1. Graduates will again assemble in
also be meetings of the Endowment Association trustees and the Alumni Associations directors.
