This year’s Commencement Weekend featured everything from lightsabers to time capsules and culminated in a keynote address by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the subsequent presentation of diplomas to graduating students in departmental ceremonies. As the Class of 2013 heads off into the “real world,” The Daily compiled the best photos from their last days on the Farm.
