"We would just fling open the doors and have a hell of a weekend," he said.

Speaker to be selectted for Commencement

With Commencement just a term away, the administration is in the process of selecting a speaker for an important year, the 25th anniversary of coeducation at the College and James Freedman's final year as College president.
