Commemoration Day (Harvard University)
On July 21, 1865 Harvard University held a Commemoration Day as part of that year's Commencement Week, to celebrate the end of the American Civil War and honor the Harvard alumni who had served and died in it.
An Ode delivered as part of the ceremonies by James Russell Lowell was widely reprinted.
