“Do what you must and let it be with good cheer, without reluctance or complaint.” (Meditations 6.16).- Marcus

Dear Aurelians:

Happy Spring, the academic year at Yale is over! What seemed a long way away, has now arrived: Commencement is this weekend and another Aurelian delegation heads out . Our 116th delegation has been tapped and in the fall will be introduced to you. We’re very excited to have them as the cap on a great year.

If you are attending your class reunion in late May – early June and would like to visit the new Aurelian Reading Room, please let me know and I will have your name at the Graduate Club reception, 155 Elm Street. Please take a tour, take a break, and say hello!

As previously announced, seven alumni have joined the Board of Trustees. Their photos are now on the Aurelian Honor Society website.
