THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
commencement, 1907.

commencement, lSOf.
This year the University discon-
tinues a practice of long standing by
not sending out individual invita-
tons to the commencement exer-
cises. 1t is hoped that the abandon
ment of the individual invitation will
| not be construed by those who have
been accustomed to receive it, as in
| dicating that their attendance at
commencement Is not desired this
year. Those who come will find their
| presence not less appreciated than it
mas been in previous years. Their
welcome will not be less warm be-
| cause they have not, for one reason
or another, been singled out from the
great mass of their fellow citizens of
| the state, some of whom, though un-
| invited, may manifest an interest in
the university as warm as theirs.
and perhaps more active. though less
conspicuous by reason of the less
| conspicuous positions of these unin-
vited friends. In word, the aband-
onment of the individual invitation
has been suggested, not by the de-
sire on the part of the University to
restrict its hospitality on commence
ment day within closer limits, but
rather by the desire to enlarge the
range of that hospitality in the ut
most measure possible. The ample
size of the auditorium in Robinson
Gymnasium renders it possible to
hope that this Year room may be
found for all citizens of the state as
we'll as for all other friends of the
university. whose interest in the in
stitution may urge them to attend
commencement and whose situation
make attendance possible. 1t is
with pleasure, therefore. that the
University of Kansas extends a gen.
eral invitation to its friends, both
alumni and others, to be present at
the commencement exercises that
will be held in the new Robinson
Gymnasium, Wednesday, June 5.
