![]() Or maybe, after your first month of classes, you made a frantic collect call (ask your parents what that was) back to Illinois to tell your mother and father you weren't smart enough to be here. ![]() But maybe some of you did and you never wavered.īut maybe you changed your major three times and your hairstyle twice that many. Now maybe you felt like you belonged right away. You joined students from 49 states and 58 countries. But you know, you arrived at this campus. So we'll blame allergy instead of emotion. You know, four years ago, maybe a little more or a little less for some of you - I told the trustees I was sitting with, after hearing Tala's speech, I didn't think I could get through it. But it is such an honor to join with the college and all who have come to celebrate this day with you, and to recognize the amazing futures that await you. And I assume, or at least you can tell me later, unlike us, you actually have a class cheer. Now I have some of my dear friends here from my class, a green class of 1969. And most importantly, it's wonderful to be here with another green class to say, congratulations to the class of 2017! I am so grateful to be here back at Wellesley, especially for President Johnson's very first commencement, and would like to thank her, the trustees, families and friends, faculty, staff and guests for understanding and perpetuating the importance of this college: what it stands for, what it has meant and what it will do in the years ahead. Thank you very much for that warm welcome.
