The first Commencement was in 1875 with Linda Ninde Dorland graduating. Commencement typically lasted all day starting with the Baccalaureate, and ending either with the President or a professor hosting the Commencement Dinner. In later years, it would be accompanied with music from the Penn music ensembles. Speeches were given from various professors and alumni, as well as the entire senior class. The subjects the students spoke on were completely up to them, but generally revolve around what they studied, or learned at Penn. Graduating class includes: Helen Abrams, Leota Baldwin, Florence Fry, Ray Glenny, Pearle Gwin, Jeannette Hadley, Waldo Hadley, Edith Hammond, Edna Hanson, Theon Harris, B. Pearl Horine, John Ingram, Chalmers Johnson, Hadley Kelsey, Sarah Kelsey, Harold Lane, Owen Laughlin, Grace Lavely, Grover Lichtenheld, Eugenia Malcolm, Harold Marshall, Mamie Marshall, Roberta Meredith, Jay Newlin, Hubert Peckham, Edna Picken, Gren Pierrel, Charlotte Rosenberger, Jinks Ruby, Ethel Shoema
