HAMPTON, Va. - A summer graduating class of about 140, including 76 who will receive the B. S. degree and 64 will receive the Master's degree, will hear Dean Herbert C. Hunsaker of Cleveland, Western Reserve University at Hampton Institute's Summer Convocation Friday morning, August 18.
The candidates Sunday heard a Baccalaureate Sermon by Dr. Geo. D. Kelsey, associate executive secretary in Field Administration for the Federal Council of Churches.
Dr. Kelsey also has been minister at Hampton during July and August.
A candlelight vesper service by the senior class Sunday night, and a reception later in the week at the President's House, for graduates, relatives and friends also are among the summer graduation activities.
