Series VII. Commencement. 1870-2011.
Series VII includes data, correspondence, and procedures documenting annual commencement ceremonies held at Oregon State University. The bulk of the series consists of the commencement programs for each year. In addition to a program for the commencement ceremony, these include lists of graduates, honors and awards, and major gifts to the university during the previous academic year. Beginning in the 1960s, the Registrar published an "official" program that was distributed several weeks after the commencement event and included corrections, additions, and deletions. The "official" programs are imprinted with "Official Copy". Video recordings of the 2002 and 2003 ceremonies are included in this series.
