The Diamond Jubilee of Austin College The seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of Austin College was fittingly observed in the Diamond Jubilee celebra- tion, which lasted through the first four days of June, 1924, and marked one of the most epochal events in the long history of the institution. With a varied program attended by several hundred alumni and many distinguished visitors from through- out the country, the session commemorat- ing the Diamond Jubilee of the institution was brought to a happy close. Few col- leges in this part of the country can boast of seventy-five years of continuous service, and consequently the Diamond Jubilee celebration was considered an event of more than ordinary significance in the his- tory of higher education in the Southwest, as well as the greatest occasion in the history of Austin College. Many colleges and universities of America sent official representatives to Sherman for the celebra- tion and the presidents of practically all the leading institutions of Texas were on the campus for this unique event. The Jubilee celebration was officially opened on Sunday morning, June 1st, when the Rev. Walter W. Moore, D. D., President of the Union Theologi- cal Seminary of Richmond, Virginia, preached the baccalaureate sermon before the Senior class. In the evening the annual commencement service for the Christian organizations of the college was held in Sherman Hall. Rev. William Crowe, D. D., pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church of Saint Louis, Missouri, preached the sermon, which was broadcast through station WFAA at Dallas. At six o’clock in the afternoon the college band rendered a sacred concert on the campus. Many visiting alumni and former students were present for the first day of the Jubilee. The second day of the celebration, Monday, June 2nd, was set aside as “get-acquainted” day, and found many of the students of other years renewing friendships begun decades ago, and others getting acquainted with one another for the first time. The initial gathering of this day was the final chapel service of the collegiate year. This service was attended by members of the Senior classes of several neighboring high schools. The presidents of the four classes, Rev. W. W. Moore
