Before
assembling on the reviewing
stand to watch the procession along Locust
Walk, President Judith Rodin joined Ben on
the Bench. The
Honorary Degree Recipients
and Trustee Chairman James Riepe, gathered
behind them: standing
(left to right): Dr.
Herbert Gans, Commencement
speaker Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Dr. Mamphela
Ramphele, Philip
Roth, James Riepe, Dr. Sadako Ogata, and the
Hon. Stephen Breyer. The
plaidly-clad bagpipers
played as the smiling
students, their proud
parents, and the
Old Guard greeted
one another
during Penn's
traditional procession
along Locust
Walk on the way to
Franklin Field for
the 247th Commencement
where the Class of
2003 became grinning
graduates as the
sun shined. President
Judith Rodin conferred
honorary degrees
upon the six recipients
and the graduates
from the 12 schools.
