Folded Yiddish newspapers protruded from the pockets of some of the men. While President Leonard Lief conferred the degrees, jet planes from Kennedy Airport soared overhead; the roar of traffic and elevated trains, punctuated occasionally by the shriek of sirens, filtered through the spring-fresh foliage of trees surrounding the campus.
