Institutional Delegates
A distinguishing feature of the inaugural ceremony is the presence of delegates from other "institutions, learned societies, elected officials, alumni, donors, students and community leaders".
The presence of representatives from other colleges and universities dates back to the beginning of American academia. In the old days, presidents of almost every four-year American university and college received invitations to attend inaugural festivities and march in the procession. In addition, leaders of foreign universities were invited. Today, the large number of bachelor's degree-granting institutions…makes this custom impractical, but it is still a time-honored tradition to invite leaders of various schools at the request of the incoming president. To date, 44 delegates will represent 41 institutions across the country and Scotland.
