A program for the eighty fourth commencement ceremonies of Springfield College held in 1970. This pamphlet starts by listing the names of the Board of Trustees and the Honorary Degree Candidates, to then describe the commencement exercises, including songs, prayers, commencement address, conferring of degrees, and finishes with a list of the members of the graduating class. The Honorable Ronald B. Lee gave the commencement address. Honorary degrees were conferred to Olga E. Ellis, Chik-Suen Lam, Richard P. Towne (Doctor of Humanics), and Lij Endalkachew Makonnen (Doctor of Laws). For biography of Olga Ellis, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/592
