We went to convocation this morning and it was much more of a formal affair than it was in the old days! With a new president comes a new image. Sometimes I worry that image is too much of an issue with the new regime, but I do appreciate that a few things are more polished than they used to be. I guess it's tough to find the perfect balance. But even in the middle of my worries and an address that started out a little stiffly, the president was able to remind us of why we are all here. It was a good time of focus, and we had a nice time of singing as well.

The blessing that the president bestowed on the new students was given, which I thought I'd share:
The peace of Christ be over you to shelter you,
Under you to uphold you,
About you to protect you,
Behind you to direct you,
Ever be with you to save you,
This day and forever more.
Amen.
