"Beautiful weather, terrific outcome of the senior class campaign, great speaker," said President Skorton summing up the Convocation ceremony of Cornell's 139th Commencement held Saturday at Schoellkopf Stadium. "What we had is exactly what I was hoping for."

A Convocation ceremony volunteer, Kathaleen Mason, said that Convocation organizers were expecting 15,000 attendees.

Seats on the field at Schoellkopf — not the bleachers in the stadium above — were reserved for trustees, speakers and performers and the families of those involved in the ceremony, according to Mason.
