Rabbi Moshe Wolfson and Rabbi Sholom Rivkin, to name a few. The Rav HaRoshi, HaRav Herzog spoke at the חג הסמיכה, as did Rav Gedalia Schorr, The Novominsker Rebbe, great-uncle of the current Rebbe, as well as Rav Moshe D Rivkin, Rav Ruven Grozovsky, Rav Yaakov Kamenecki and Rav Nissan Telushkin. Mind you, this is the Brooklyn Eagle, not the Yated, which shows us that showing the general world what we do in Yeshivos was important even back then. It isn't something new that some "מתחדשים" came up with. Letters from Pres. Truman (!) and then-Mayor O'Dwyer were read! They went all out.
