Commencement

Gould Memorial Library and The Hall of Fame, photographed in 1904; now part of Bronx Community College where I teach


The rest of these pictures from today's commencement are by Renore Silverio, a former student of mine.

Our students, like all graduates, march in to Elgar, but they march out and into the world to this tune by Verdi:




I'm so proud of them all and I wish them all the best.

I love commencement. Such joy, such hope, they are all scrubbed up and want you to meet their parents or family...

Congrats to Renore and all your students: they were lucky to have you, and vice-versa! :-)
