Jon Bigelow added a little spice to the graduation ceremonies of Kimball Union Academy last spring as the commencement speaker chosen by the senior class. Jon, who taught history at KUA, promised he would recite a poem naming every graduate, the topic of his or her history term paper, and junior-year GPA. Though he didn't get around to the aforementioned epic poem, he did recommend to the students that they go off and make their own mistakes, and not neglect opportunities simply because they were not scheduled. (Good advice even for us late twenty-somethings, I suppose.) Jon is a James Madison Fellow in history at the University of Indiana this year.
