Honestly, what’s wrong with that?

It would seem that people celebrating an educational achievement would be seen as a good thing.

Well, it’s a simple matter of mathematics. Let’s say the facility holding the graduation holds 1,500* people. That means if you have a graduating class of 375 and each has four guests attend, you will fill your facility to capacity. And according to this story, Howard graduated 2,800 in this class.


*Howard’s Crampton Auditorium has seating for 1,500 people according to Google.
