<p>BJM8,
Thanks for calling me a “seasoned” alum rather than a geriatric one!</p>
<p>I’ve wracked my brain but don’t remember any more! However, I would add that Illumination Night is one of the most magical of traditions and there is no doubt it will go on forever. It was pointed out somewhere (I think on my class website) that some of the colored Japanese lanterns still in use are older than we are!</p>
<p>In fact, all of the traditions of Commencement, including Ivy Day (white dresses, roses, the Junior Ushers – different from Sophomore Push – carrying the Ivy Chain, etc) are unforgettable.</p>
