Swarthmore Grad Speech Sparks Calls for Economic Equity
An Asian American student, Quoc Tran Trang of Seattle, delivered a stirring Memorial Day commencement address at Swarthmore College. He proposed a James Michener Institute to educate the multicultural poor, urged economic diversity in admissions, and donated a $100 check to fund his plan. Swarthmore awarded 322 bachelors and five honorary degrees while under cloudy skies graduates were urged to serve the public good.
