On Wednesday last, the anniversary of our glorious
revolution, the commencement for degrees in the arts was
held in the hall of the university; at which were present,
by particular invitation, his excellency the president and
the honourable Congress of the United States . . .
  An excellent band of music striking up, as the hon.
congress entered the hall, and playing until his excellency
the president and the hon. board of trustees and faculty of
the university were seated, ushered in the exercises of the
day, and by interludes, between the several performances of
the young gentlemen, heightened the pleasure of the
entertainment.
