Commencement Exercises on the Lawn

I was on the Lawn on Sunday morning to see several friends and relatives graduate from various programs of the University and it was a spectacular morning. The sky was perfectly blue, not a cloud in the sky, with the temperatures in the mid 70s with acceptable levels of humidity. You can't really ask for much more.

However, the valediction presented by Pulitzer Prize winner Ron Suskind on Saturday night was probably the stronger oratorical effort.
