Minutes away from becoming Bluffton University graduates on May 5, 279 students were reminded that they have another test. “That test is called ‘the rest of your life,’” said Dr. J. Denny Weaver, a professor emeritus of religion at Bluffton and the speaker at the university’s 113th annual commencement ceremony. The test is “how well you invest the education you have acquired,” he said, urging the graduates to do so by helping bend the moral arc that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said is long but “bends toward justice.”
Abigail Graber (center, with red and yellow trim) was part of a “legacy” couple added to Bluffton University’s traditional Maypole dance for May Day festivities on May 4. Graber, from Goshen, Ind., and her partner, Justin Neufeld Weaver of Bluffton, each with longstanding family ties to the university, formed a ninth couple for the 100th edition of the dance with which Bluffton alumni are familiar. First-year students wear colorful costumes and dance in pairs around the Maypole, weaving streamers together in a ceremony that’s also symbolic of the weaving of memories of the past, appreciation of the present and hope for the future.
