The following extract from the Records of the Corporation, September, 1936, comprises a description of the termination of this festival, and also the final proceedings of that Board, relative to the Centennial Celebration. "The College buildings, and the edifices appropriated to the Divinity and Law Schools, were brilliantly illuminated by the students, at the expense of the Corporation. The name of each of the College halls appeared in letters of light, together with the dates of their erection, and appropriate mottos. Over the portico of University Hall, the name of 'Harvard' was conspicuously illuminated with variegated lamps. The columns of the portico were entwined with evergreens. The gateways of the principal entrances to the College grounds, were decorated in a similar manner, and on the arches over these avenues, appeared the names of Dunster,' 'Chauncy,' and 'Harvard'; in front of the Library, that of 'Quincy'; and 'Dane,' over the Law College. These embellishments were arranged and executed entirely by the students. The Gothic windows of the First Congregational Church, and many of the houses of private individuals were also brilliantly illuminated, and bonfires were lighted on several of the neighbouring heights. "The mansion of President Quincy was thrown open for the reception of visitors, and thronged during the evening by the Alumni, by numerous visitors from Boston and the vicinity, and by strangers from all parts of the United States, attracted by this interesting celebration. "At ten o'clock the illumination was closed. No accident occurred during the day. Every arrangement was executed with perfect order and complete success; and the festivities of the day were conducted and concluded with a dignity and decorum worthy of the solemn festival of an ancient literary institution. "Voted, That the thanks of the Corporation be presented to President Quincy, for his highly appropriate, instructive, and inter Centennial Ode, by Charles Sprague. Boston, 1830. No. LXIV.
