Matriculation Day

Matriculation Day

The day we, as the Dean Emeritus so grandly put it, become Johnians (pronounced Joan-ians) for life. I am a Johnian! Along with some other amazing people like William Cecil, William Wilberforce, William Wordsworth, Douglas Adams, and 6 Nobel prize winners. I am honored, incredulous, thankful. I want to share this special and ceremonious day with you via pictures. Enjoy!

The wonderful gentleman sitting next to me offered to take my picture.

All in all, it was an amazing day; maybe a life-changing day. Only time will tell, but until then, St. John's beat Trinity!
