Excerpt from The Inauguration of Marion Leroy Burton as President of Smith College, the Fifth of October, MCMX Inauguration Day was warm and fine, most favorable for carrying out all the arrangements, and especially the plans for the procession across the campus to the John M. Greene Hall. This proces sion formed in the new library, which gave ample space for the gathering of the various divisions in the Gallagher reading room, the periodical room across the hall, the large L. Clark Seelye reference room. At ten o'clock the procession left the library under Professor Ganong, the college marshal, in the follow ing order: President Burton and Governor Draper, President Seelye and Mayor Coolidge, the trustees of the college, the president of the alumnae associ ation, the speakers of the morning, the candidates for honorary degrees, the delegates from educational institutions, the faculty, the alumnae delegates, the students' council. The delegates from educational institutions and the marshals were in academic dress. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
