The first Commencement was in 1875 with Linda Ninde Dorland. 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: Lawrence W. Auld, George Lewis Bacon, Ralph A. Beane, Louise Brauer, Esther Brazelton, Mary Marie Cassell, Albert James Clements, Martha Maxine Coffin, Verna Berdene Coffin, Owen W. Coffin, Maurice J.
