Green “things” sprouted
with the light autumn rain at Mount Holyoke on Wednesday, September
8. At the convocation ceremony held in Chapin Auditorium to
usher in the College’s 168th academic year, no leaf was
left unturned. It was all there, from emerald and olive green
to pine and viridian green. One student was bundled in the
deep green curtains of her dorm room, another was tightly wrapped
in green cling film by the designer Saran. Chapin resounded
with peals of applause from the College community as the class
of 2005 processed amidst all that green—the class color
for this year’s seniors—in black caps and gowns.
