less search.

At recent meeting of the faculty of
Whitman college it was decided that
hereafter commencement should be a
much more formal affair than in the
past. Caps, gowns, hoods and all the
pharaphernala and formalities of the
great English and American universe
ties are among the new features to be
introduced in the coming commence
ment, according to Professor BrOde,
chairman of the committee on COM
mencement ceremonies.
At present only the president and the
graduating class appear in academic
costume at commencement. but now
the plan is to have the trustees, all the
faculty and the alumni dressed in the
full academic costume. This will be
lege occasions. such as cOnvocatiOn at
the opening of the term. The regula-
those having degrees above the bach
elorS at these occasions. while the cos
faculty at all occasions in which they
take II leading part, beginning next
only be worn on the most important
occasions. The leader of chapel each
morning will also be gowned in the
same way.
Commencement Procession.
Another new feature of the cere-
| monies will be what is known as the
commencement procession. Trustees
faculty and alumni, followed by the
| graduating class, will march into the
| chapel in a solemn procession headed
! by the marshal of ceremonies. The
| trustees. faculty and alumni will 81
on the platform which is to be enlarged
| for this purpose. but the graduating
class will after this sit in the audience
Those taking part in the program viii
march upon the stage one at time ant
also will pass up separately to receive
their degrees.
The marshal is to be an importan1
office hereafter. He will be chosen by
| the faculty at the opening of each yeal
and Will have charge of the usherins
and management Of all formal cere-
monies. He will lead the procession
and also the graduates to the platform
when they receive their degrees. He
will appear attired in a cap and gown
1t will hereafter be considered one OF
the greatest hOnors to be attained by
a student in his college course.
Commencement Exercises.
Valedictory and salutatory are to be
appear on the commencement platform
each year and they will not necessar-
lily be chosen for ranking scholarship
Speaking ability and general fitness
will bear a part in the consideration.
In order that scholarship shall be re-
cogniZed, however, some formal recog-
milton will be made on the commence
ment program, and in the catalogue of
the general standing in scholarship of
the graduates. 1t has not been def
nitely decided just what form this
will take whether first. second and
third honors of cum laude magma, cum
laude, etc.
Glass day exercises will be left as
heretofore, entirely in the hands of
the class which this year will consist
of six members; H. E. Brown, Marion
KEGS. Palmer, Professor Bond and
Misses Bailey and Gentry.
Hereafter those receiving the mas
ters degree will be invested with the
masters hood. but no degrees will be
conferred in absentia after this.
