12 Ivy Day Exercises Ivy Day has been a Smith tradition for more than a century. The class of 1884 was the first to plant ivy as part of the ceremonies leading to their graduation, thus providing the day with its name. In early years, a speech was customarily delivered by a member of the graduating class. Ivy has been planted every year since 1884 at various locations on campus. The spot was traditionally marked by carv- ing the class year into the stone foundation of the building, as can be seen on Seelye Hall. In recent years, a ceremonial ivy has been planted on Ivy Day, and a plaque with the class year has later been placed next to the newly growing vine.

Ivy Day Awards Convocation A convocation has been part of Commencement since 1879. Its original format included the daily chapel followed by a special address by the president to conclude the academic year. Over the years, this event has at different times included recognition of retiring faculty members, announcements of student prizes, gifts to the college made by reunion classes and descriptions of the goals of the college. It eventually became the Ivy Day Awards Convocation, devoted to recognizing those receiving academic awards, honors and prizes from the college and The Smith Fund.
