...entire ceremony will be held in the Tercentenary Theatre, rain or shine. Last year was the first time in memory that it has rained during a Harvard Commencement. In case the weatherman should once again break the sacred tradition of a sunny Commencement, the proceedings will be broadcast live over WGBH-TV.
