A program for the fiftieth commencement ceremonies for the International YMCA College, now Springfield College, held in 1936. This pamphlet starts by describing the program, including calendar, commencement dinner, the school hymn, prayers, presentation of diplomas, and a list of the members of the graduating class. Bishop Francis John McConnell gave the commencement address. This program is the first one where the name “Springfield College” appears in the title page. Notice how the pamphlet affirms that “International Young Men’s Christian Association College” is the “Corporate Title” of the institution.
