WATERVILLE Light rain Sunday morning could not dampen the excitement of Colby College’s 200th commencement.
Even as clouds rolled in and the ceremony was moved up 15 minutes, the feeling of celebration was palpable on Mayflower Hill in Waterville as speakers emphasized unity and perseverance during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
As is tradition, Colby held its commencement ceremony on the lawn in front of Miller Library, creating a natural stage framed by campus buildings. The 520 graduates sat up front, with faculty, on folding chairs. Behind them were chairs filled with guests. And farther back, other guests brought their own chairs or spread out on the lawn.
