With more than 120 freshmen signing the St. John’s College register on August 26 in Annapolis, we looked back at Convocations past. Here are two images from the 1940s.

Richard D. Weigle and Jacob Klein walk to Convocation 1949 in academic robes. Weigle served as president of St. John’s College in Annapolis from 1950 to 1980. Klein served as a tutor from 1938 to 1978 and dean from 1949 to 1958. Image courtesy of the Greenfield Library Archives (SJC-P-0057).

New students sign the college’s register in the late 1940s in Iglehart Hall. It looks like this photograph was taken from the raised track. Image courtesy of the Greenfield Library Archives (SJC-P-0883).
