A SPECIAL NOTICE REGARDING COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1997

MORNING EXERCISES

To accommodate the ever-increasing number of those wishing to attend Harvard's Commencement Exercises, the following guidelines are offered in an attempt to facilitate entry into Tercentenary Theatre on Commencement Morning:

Each degree candidate will receive a limited number of tickets to Commencement. Parents and guests of degree candidates must have tickets, which they will be requested to show at the gates prior to entering Tercentenary Theatre. Note: A ticket allows admission into the Theatre, but does not guarantee a seat. While seating capacity is limited, there is standing room on the Widener steps and at the back and side of the Theatre for viewing the exercises.

Alumni/ae who are attending their major reunions (25th, 35th, 50th) will receive tickets at their reunions. Alumni/ae in classes beyond the 50th may obtain tickets for seating in the Theatre from the Classes and Reunions Office at Wadsworth House. A very limited supply of tickets will be made available to all other alumni/ae on a first-come, first-served basis. These tickets may be obtained through the Harvard Alumni Association at Wadsworth House.

Because of space limitations, alumni/ae from non-major reunion years and all spouses are requested to view the Morning Exercises via large-screen televisions situated in the following locations: The Science Center, Sanders Theatre, most of the undergraduate Houses and professional schools. Ample seating is provided at these locations, for which tickets are not required.

AFTERNOON EXERCISES

The Harvard Alumni Association's Annual Meeting convenes in Tercentenary Theatre on Commencement afternoon. All alumni and alumnae, students, parents, and guests are invited to attend and hear President Rudenstine and the Commencement Speaker deliver their addresses. Tickets for the afternoon ceremony will be available through the Harvard Alumni Association, Wadsworth House, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138. ~ Richard M. Hunt, University Marshal
