[05] At Harvard College, sixty-eight Commencements were held in
the old parish church which "occupied a portion of the
space between Dane Hall and the old Presidential House."
The period embraced was from 1758 to 1834. There was no
Commencement in 1764, on account of the small-pox; nor
from 1775 to 1781, seven years, on account of the
Revolutionary war. The first Commencement in the new
meeting-house was held in 1834. In 1835, there was rain at
Commencement, for the first time in thirty-five years.

[06] The graduating class usually waited on the table at dinner
on Commencement Day.
