Commencement 1A 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 Koblik’s 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 country’s most respected playwrights, television scriptwriters, and film screenwriters, delivered the commencement address.

Commencement 2This 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). End of Article
