COMMENCEMENT 1988
The Claremont Graduate School held its 61st graduation ceremony Saturday in Bridges Auditorium. Degrees were conferred on 5,147 students, including 4,427 undergraduates, 300 masters, 150 doctoral and 270 professional candidates.
Keynote Speaker: Roger Rosenblatt, senior writer and essayist at Time magazine, said: “The people who bring the most life into the world through their work are those who look upon their work as a persistently new enterprise, a wholly original enterprise--the way the God of Genesis must have reguarded space. An attitude like that prevents such people from being swallowed up, or lost in, or embittered by the minutiae of their assignments. Its holds off the professional myopia that can destroy careers.”
Honorary Degrees:
Rosenblatt.
Matina Horner, president of Radcliffe College.
Donald Rumsfeld, former Secretary of Defense under President Ford and currently senior advisor to William Blair and Company.
Other Graduations:
Loyola Marymount University celebrated its 76th annual commencement Saturday. Degrees were conferred on 1,325 students, including 321 graduate degrees. Honorary degrees were awarded to former basketball coach Peter Newell, and film producer and director Hal Roach, along with keynote speaker Loret Miller Ruppe, director of the Peace Corps.
