| The members of the Class of 1871 did not
actually graduate
in 1871.
The newspaper referred to the exercises, held in the College Chapel, as
an "Exhibition," as opposed to a "Graduation,"
and concluded with this paragraph:
"The
announcement was then made that the class of fifteen [18?] which was to
have been graduated at that time was held over
for one year's further instruction,
the
standard for graduation having been raised by the Board so as to fully
fit graduates to enter college. The fifteen who under the old
requirements
would now be graduates from our high school had passed their
examinations
with credit, and were only prevented from appearing as a class to
receive
their farewell words by reason of the late change and addition to the
course
of study."
Eight of these people graduated in the following two years. Eighteen persons actually took part in the exercises. Perhaps three students actually did graduate in 1871, but they are not so identified. |
