NORTON: No, we have not yet worn 'the honors of Honor'
Mid-May is always an exciting time for the University — thousands of students see the culmination of many years’ work surrounded by family and friends. As a member of the Class of 2017, I was among those celebrating this past weekend. If your Facebook feed is anything like mine, pictures of friends in black gowns have proliferated, and many have included a possibly botched variant of the oft-repeated line: “I have worn the honors of Honor. I have graduated from Virginia.” Unfortunately, this claim does not respect the context nor intent of the original text.
