Point of No Return: Olds Addresses Oswego Graduates
Springfield College President Glenn A. Olds told more than 6,500 graduates at the Oswego 104th Commencement that graduation marks a point from which they cannot return to past innocence or dependence.

He also warned against scheduling life around future fantasies and emphasized the now as the period of choice. A second note reports a Mother and Daughter banquet at Vona's Restaurant hosted by the K. Society with Rev. Fuchs as guest.
