Grades have been posted, notebooks burned, exam papers archived, stationary stored, and professors evaluated. The school year has ended in America. Graduation ceremonies littered the campus over this past weekend, and wandering crowds peppered by the odd robe-clad graduatee were visible everywhere. Is there not something subtly solipsistic about graduation ceremonies? To me, there's a disturbing element of overly contrived self-glorification. Why celebrate at the hands of your employer? By all means unite with your peers to conclude what has been a significant period in your life, but education is about the journey rather than the destination.
