More than ten thousand people are expected to witness the City College commencement exercises tonight at Lewisohn Stadium, at which 1,856 degrees, diplomas, certificates and commissions will be conferred.
A special platform and canopy have been constructed on the field. In case of inclement weather a modified program will be presented in the Great Hall of the College.
An academic procession of graduates dressed in the traditional cap and gown, the faculty, trustees and guests, from the Main Building to the Stadium, will open the ceremonies. The college orchestras will play the march from Meyerbeer’s “Prophet.” The procession has been divided into eight groups, headed by Professor Frederic A. Woll, chief marshal. The first division, consisting of the candidates for degrees, will be led by Harry Weinstein and Herman Redisch.
The commencement address will be delivered by President Frederick B. Robinson. Dr. Joseph Daniel McGoldrick, New York City Comptroller, will administer the Ephebic Oath of loyalty. Several musical selections will close the program.
