<p>They do? What event is that? I don’t remember anything like that when I graduated. I think there was some sort of fundraising event that was poorly attended. Not much else before the bagpipes started and people marched (relatively solemnly) through the quads.</p>
<p>If that event already exists, why not just add a “celebratory” speaker? From what I know, Class Day at other schools is generally well attended and welcomed. A friend of mine who graduates from Princeton still remembers the speech Steve Carell gave fondly. I don’t really see any harm to adding this on, if all the other celebratory events are already in play.</p>
