HAS INVESTIGATED COMMENCEMENT Shows Change In Commencement Dttfc In old Records Mid-Winter Com . mencemente and Sum mer Graduations. Registrar Harrison kair prepared some interesting statistics with re gard to this year's deilnqueuclon m the university. Last year the uverog'e delinquency of the fraternity members in tho university was 16 per cent This year It 1b but 11 per cont, a gain of four per cont. Tho delinquency of tho wholo university for the preceding years has averaged 11 per cent It 16 how 0 per cent In reality ft is some lower than ovon this. This is duo t the fact that tho average for tho p-o-coding years was based on tho schol arship of both mon and women, whllo this year only the non-fraternity men were a vo raged with tho fraternity peo ple. This leaves tho women student out and as, they are generally con-nu-ered the better students they would no doubt lower tho per cent Commencement Dates. As a result of somo questions on the day commencement has been hold In the past, Roglstrar Harrison has gono back through old catalogues and re gents' records and dug pp tho follow lng history. No dates could be found as ,to commencement day in some of tho earlier years. No record of tho matter seems to have Veen' kept Of courso for two or three years after tho university's establishment In 1877 no students wero graduated. In 1877 commencement took place" on Thurs day. Two yoars later this was changed to. Wednesday as it was thought it might bo better to' "have It earlier in tho week. But this was wnrso then beforo, and in 1890 it was cbaugp'd back to Thursday, whero it has been since. This year will be tho thirty ninth annual graduation. Thero havo been fourtot-n mid-win-ter commencement!). The first was during the winter of 1806-97. . Thero havo been sovonty-flvo graduated at the end of the first semester. Tho first summer school graduation was held Friday, July 26, 1907. There way no rogular commencement exor cises held, tho graduates merely call ing at tho chancellor's ofllco and re ceiving their diplomas. Now, howovar, regular exercises aro held each year.
