Congratulations Graduates! Today is USC's commencement exercises and I'm in my office working. Its quiet since many are not here.
Today starts the Graduation Season.
I was thinking that typically one is graduated, which would means one completes on level, as in education, and embarks on another level. At the same time, I was thinking that the word as used as in "graduated cylinder" does not mean the same, yet are similar. True a graduated cylinder as markings for different levels and is uniformed to be used as a measuring device.
Does graduating from college or high school is the same? Could it be used as measuring device? Everyone talks about starting a new beginning, but what does graduating measures? Ok, you have to qualify to graduate, but what does it mean?
