Princeton University Commencement Records

Consists of programs, bulletins, announcements, and newspaper clippings which
document Princeton University commencement activities from 1748 to the present.
Generally, files are arranged chronologically by year. In addition there are separate
series consisting of bound programs, electrical broadcast transcriptions, bound
commencement notices, oversize material, and audio recodings of various commencement,
class day, and baccalaureate activities. Ashbel Green's valedictory address, one of
the earliest, is included in the collection, as well as Alexander Leitch's notebook
containing research material about commencement collected for his book “A Princeton
Companion.”
