Some Things Never Change

As BU graduates do every year, 2021 grads participate in a more than century-old tradition at the 148th Commencement on Nickerson Field May 16. The gesture symbolizing the end of a chapter in a graduate’s life is believed to have begun at the 1912 US Naval Academy graduation. Photo by Cydney Scott
