"Law Day", "Undergraduate Day", "Foundation Day", and "Alumni Day" were celebrated in turn. The exercises were marked by dinners and addresses by leaders of the time. The culmination of the commemorative program came when 790 people attended a dinner in Memorial Hall. This was followed by a colorful torchlight parade...
