A “WAF” Education The virtual Commencement in May was the third Wabash Commencement I have had the privilege to “attend.” The first was in 1977. The second was my own ceremony in 1978.
The virtual ceremony was unique and will hopefully not have to be repeated! However, there was something that made me quite proud. When the graduates names were read and their pictures and honors displayed on-screen, their majors were also included. I was fascinated as I read each graduate’s major and thought, These are the men who will step up and provide the solutions to the challenges that we face today, economically, socially, and medically. As I read their majors, there was a great sense of relief that the education these men received, a Wabash liberal arts education, will serve them well in meeting the great challenges ahead.
I wish to thank the president and faculty for carrying on the tradition of preparing men to discharge the sacred duties of life! I’ve always thought that “Wabash Always Fights” referred generally to the exploits on the field. After reading the names and majors, I realize “Wabash Always Fights” also means that Wabash men will be “fighting” to develop the solutions we need today.

Correction (WM Last Glance) In the previous issue of Wabash Magazine, we spotlighted the return to campus of members of the 1991 production of Biloxi Blues. However, we failed to properly recognize one member of the cast and crew who was also present. Roland Morin ’91 served as the play’s stage manager and student director under Professor Jim Fisher. He is now the Associate Dean of Professional Development and Director of the Center for Innovation, Business, and Entrepreneurship at Wabash College
