"We wanted to emphasize the
feelings of triumph and joy more
than honor or achievement."
-MARGOT SUTER
Rooo '3 6
Bennington'sgraduationwemony has remained
basically unchanged since the first class graduated in 1936. The nomination of
candidates for degrees by the faculty and the subsequent vote to award the
degrees by the trustees have become a tradition .
The planning of the first ceremony aroused great
controversy . The faculty , faithful to Bennington ' s progressive spirit , proposed
that there be no ceremony . But the students insisted that they could not be
decently graduated without a formal awarding of degrees.
Still , the students wanted their ceremony to signify
celebration rather than competitive reward . The procedures would be simple and
brief, and there would not be any special awards or singling out of students .
We , the 5 7th class, continue in this spirit of community.
We celebrate our graduation with triumph and joy.
