The Parade of Classes is always led by the graduating classes grandfather class, the class that's celebrating its 50th anniversary that year.

Parade of Classes type events have a long history at many colleges, but not so at Columbia, where the tradition was only established (or perhaps revived) in [[2004]], as one of many small gestures the school has been making to build a sense of tradition and history, and strengthen alumni ties to the school.<ref>[http://www.college.columbia.edu/cct/mar_apr06/quads4.php Alumni Invited to March in Class Day Processional], Columbia College Today, March/April 2006. Notes that the parade has been a highlight of Class Day for two years.</ref>

An abbreviated version of the parade takes place during [[Convocation]], when the incoming freshman class is welcomed by the banner-bearing members of its grandfather class.
