1886 Ivy Exercises

The Ivy Exercises were an important part of the Commencement ceremonies, and featured the Planting of the Ivy, the Ivy Oration, the Ivy Poem (this year, titled "Song of the Ivy"), and the singing of the Ivy Ode, slightly different each year to include the class year of those graduating. Last in order is a "Farewell to the College Buildings."
