THE PUBLIC DAY.
On the closing day of the session, which, unless that day be
Sunday, occurs on the 29th of June, the Visiters, Faculty, Officers
and Students, and the Society of Alumni, assemble in the Rotunda,
whither are also invited the friends of the students, and the
public generally. On this occasion the certificates and diplomas
are awarded to the successful candidates, the results of the examinations
are announced, and addresses are delivered by one or
more of the Bachelors and Masters of Arts, and by the Orator
appointed by the Society of Alumni.
The year 1850 being the twenty-fifth since the organization of
the University, the ceremonies, it is expected, will be of more
than common interest, and an unusually large concourse of
Alumni and friends of the Institution will probably assemble on
this solemn occasion.
