Every member of the College will be expected to join in the procession. While passing the monument of President Caldwell, the members of the procession will uncover their heads. Upon reaching the Chapel, the double file will open, and the procession enter in reversed order. There must be no passing in or out, except during the intervals of the exercises. No umbrellas must be raised in the procession ; and neither sticks nor canes be used in applauding the speakers.
The entire space on the right of the aisle leading from the front entrance will be occupied by the Trustees, Faculty and Students of the University. The centre tier of boxes to the left will be reserved exclusively for the Ladies. The range of seats on each side of this tier, and the galleries, will be appropriated to the accommodation of visiters.
The Marshall and his Assistants, stationed immediately in front of the seats occupied by the Ladies, will be prompt and vigilant in pointing all persons to their appropriate place; and the authorities of the College will expect and require ready obedience to their commands.
