Harvard Gra-dua-tio

With great curiosity I observed today the different rituals of Havard's Commencement Day (Graduatio in latin as in some of the traditional speeches I heard today) which started with a campus wide early breakfast at 6:45 am. There were speeches and music before and after each Diploma Awarding Ceremony of every School. Later, in the afternoon, walking through the Yard filled with now ex-alumni in crimson/black gowns and proud parents I could feel in the atmosphere their excitement and bitter sweet emotions.
