Respect for the Piper in Glasgow University

[Riverkilt]

I was in the cap and gown business for many years back in the 70s. I've seen hundreds of graduations. The faculty procession is always beautiful with all the various regalia denoting their individual universities and degrees...but never a piper. Would loved to have seen it.

Emory University in Atlanta has three pipers lead the procession at their graduation ceremonies in May. I think they are always well received and have heard comments from graduates that they were very impressed by it. I don't know what if any historical significance there is, Emory is a Methodist based or related university. Still, nice to see and hear.
