The senior graduating class of 2010 walks down the hill carrying torches in the traditional Torchlight Ceremony the night before Commencement. The seniors walk down the hill and circle Taylor Lake, whereupon they sing the Alma Mater. The ceremony began in 1930 by Frank M. Williams, class of 1895 and president of the Alumni Corporation, and Bernard P. Taylor, class of 1924 and secretary of the college.
