Baccalaureate service 2006
Saturday, May 27, 2006, 2 p.m., Coram Library Quadrangle
The Baccalaureate service derives from the medieval European custom of presenting the candidates for the degree of Bachelor (bacca) with laurels (lauri) of sermonic oration. Prefiguring Commencement, the ceremony is a service of worship that celebrates and gives thanks for lives dedicated to learning and wisdom.
