Baccalaureate Sermons

Scope and content:

This series includes copies of individual sermons and programs from Baccalaureate Sermons delivered to graduating classes. Evidence suggests that an official Baccalaurate Sermon as part of commencement exercises ended around the late 1960s-early 1970s, but individual campus religious groups may have continued the practice.
