A
sopping, joyful commencement
Although pride and happiness ruled the day, commencement
on May 14 was held under an amazingly drenching rain. No matter; graduates
and their families were pleasedto gather and celebrate. This marked Steven
Kobliks last commencement, which was wittily acknowledged in a song
performed by the Collegium Musicum. He told the graduates that I
will always think of Reed as a model: how diverse individuals can bend
their joint efforts to accomplish something quite distinctive. It has
not been easy. It has been noisy! But we have done some wonderful things
together. Lee Blessing 71, one of the countrys most
respected playwrights, television scriptwriters, and film screenwriters,
delivered the commencement address.
This
year 265 students received the B.A. degree, and 2 received the master
of arts in liberal studies degree. In a marked change from the usual
distribution of majors, the most graduates were in psychology (33),
followed by history (29), English (28), and thenbiology (21) and
physics (21).
