ry Graduation


Phillip Cook ’92, president, who also announced the senior class gift of a white oak tree. He read Psalm 121— which in the Scots Presbyterian tradi- tion is said or sung when someone is embarking on a journey—as a prayer for the graduates. The college senior with the highest average, Olivia El- eanor Browne of Vernon, British Co- lumbia, Canada, responded to the induction on behalf of her class. She is a summa cum laude graduate with a major in Business Administration and a minor in Healthcare Management. Near the end of the ceremony, Ad- amson introduced “a new tradition at Erskine”— the “Stole of Gratitude” worn by members of the graduating class and meant to be given by each student to a family member or other person as an expression of apprecia- tion for the support and encourage- ment they have received. Music for the event was provided by the Erskine College Choraleers, directed by Dr. Keith Timms and accompanied by Prof. Sharalyn Hicks, pianist, and Erskine College Sinfonia, conducted by Dr. Deborah Caldwell. Sadie Bradley, a summa cum laude graduate, president of the Erskine Choraleers, and winner of the Mary Mildred Sullivan Award, led the singing of the alma mater.
