College commencement! (My colleague L took this picture from the stage, where we faculty were seated.) Each time I find that I don't recognize most of the graduating seniors but this year took the cake. (I was on leave for a year, of course, and haven't directed the First Year 
Program - through which I got to know troupes of student peer advisers - in two years.) Out of about 380 graduating students, I knew 12! I asked my faculty friends and they had comparable tallies. Bizarre and not a little disconcerting... who are these students and what did they study?!
