Graduation

Auctoritate mihi commissa admitto te ad gradum Baccalaurei in Artibus, in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti
("By the authority committed to me I admit you to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit")

With these words the Master of my college conferred my degree on me at around 12 o'clock yesterday. Afterwards there was a letter waiting for me in my pigeonhole, addressed to "Mr D. Parry, B.A". It was a wonderful day, full of Cambridge ceremonial, fabulous food and poignant goodbyes. The end of an era and the beginning of the next. I don't have much time to write now so reflections may have to wait. I'll be away in York for the next week, so don't expect to post here until at least next weekend. Enjoy the summer!
