• catalog abstract "This collection contains handwritten questions and subjects suggested by the Harvard Faculty for use in student academic performances on Commencement Day and during the four annual public Exhibitions. The bulk of the collection is comprised of handwritten lists of the chosen subjects (Series I) and slips of paper containing the handwritten suggestions by Faculty members (Series II and III). The collection also contains two drafts of exhibition programs (Series III) and an assortment of source notes presumably intended to provide resources for learning about performance subjects. Most of the documents are undated and unattributed, but appear to have generally been drafted in the 1810s and 1820s for review by Harvard President John Thornton Kirkland. The identified contributors are President Joseph Willard and Professors Edward Everett, John Webster, John Farrar, Levi Hedge, and Andrews Norton.".

• catalog description "In the mid 1700s, Harvard administrators began incorporating English oratory into an undergraduate curriculum traditionally focused on Latin and Greek. To reflect the expanded emphasis on oratory, upperclassmen participated in English debates, dialogues, and orations on Commencement Day and in public exhibitions using subjects and questions provided by the Harvard Faculty. The first English oration was included in the Harvard Commencement Exercises in 1763, and in 1781, the Harvard Corporation approved a law establishing four public student exhibitions each academic year. During the exhibitions, the students were "to exhibit in public, specimens of their proficiency on such subjects" assigned by the Harvard Faculty (then known as the "Immediate Government"). The last College Exhibition occurred on October 26, 1869, and the practice was abolished the following year.".
