Abstract/ Summary
This program documents the Baccalaureate Exercises held on Sunday, June 7, 1953, at Washington State Teachers College in Machias, Maine, now known as the University of Maine at Machias. The event included a piano prelude by Dr. E. Marion Dorward, hymns, scripture readings, and choral selections performed by the college Glee Clubs. Highlights of the musical program include “Prayer for Our Country,” “Soe Wee May Sing,” and “Where in the World but in America.” Rev. William R. Wright delivered the baccalaureate address, and Rev. Roy Trafton offered the invocation. The program reflects the religious and musical traditions that shaped mid-century teacher education ceremonies in Maine. This document provides a valuable historical record of higher education and community life in Washington County.
