Commencement 2006

Approximately 7,000 donned cap and gown for KU's 134th Commencment Sunday on May 21. Taking their turn down the Hill, students processed to Memorial Stadium. This University tradition dates back to 1907, when faculty and graduates walked from old Fraser Hall to the then-new Robinson Gymnasium, where Wescoe Hall now stands. The Commencement procession moved in 1924, when Memorial Stadium opened.
