Radcliffe '58 To Graduate Out of Doors

In the first outdoor commencement exercises in Radcliffe's history, President Wilbur K. Jordan will today confer 216 bachelor and 152 graduate degrees and 87 certificates of the Harvard-Radcliffe Program in Business Administration.

An academic procession through the Radcliffe Yard will precede the ceremonies, which will be held at 11 a.m.
