On the other hand anyone who, after turning from the names of the "Summa cum Laude" scholars with both generous admiration and sincere envy, does not let his thoughts wander toward New London, is narrowly excluding himself from as kaleidoscopic and romantic spectacle as he will ever see, an event as representative of one side of Harvard life as the Commencement exercises are of another.
