Joseph F. Newton, of St. Paul ' s Church in Overbrook, giving the Baccalaureate address — and later James Michener ' s Ivy Oration, with the traditional planting of the Ivy under the class motto On and Ever On — Commencement Day, then, with the earlier clouds breaking away to reveal a beautiful morning — Students, Faculty, Guests all gathered together in Magill Auditorium . . . solemnly . . . reverently — Dr. Howard McClenahan, Secretary of Franklin Institute as Commencement Speaker — pres- entation of a hundred and twelve degrees — then more presentations, these honorary, in which number Mrs. Hoover is conferred the degree of Doctor of Letters — the laying of the corner-stone for the Clothier Memorial — an impressive ceremony foreshadowing the imposing building that is to be — at night the Senior ::: or:5::: i:::0 ::P:: UUHUHaitf U [28]
