Today's the day. The caps. The gowns. The pomp. And the poem.
Each year Dean Mary Schmidt Campbell reads Christopher Logue's poem Come to the Edge. It's her gift to the graduating class, and today, it's my gift to you.
--
Come to the edge.
We might fall.
Come to the edge.
It's too high!
COME TO THE EDGE!
And they came,
And he pushed,
And they flew.
-- Think about it.
