Elsewhere the mood of the special day varied from good cheer to quiet pride to plain antagonism. At the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 300 students demonstrated against the regents' refusal to grant an honorary degree to jailed South African Black Leader Nelson Mandela; later, new graduates listened politely to U.N.

At Haverford College near Philadelphia, former Secretary of Transportation Drew Lewis doffed his academic hood and rejected an honorary degree after 28 faculty members protested his handling of the air controllers' strike five years...
