This morning marked the 85th Hartwick College commencement, with 350 graduates accepting their degrees under the tent on Oyaron Hill.   By tradition, each graduate receives a commemorative bell – a replica of the one that hangs in the bell tower at Yager Hall – which they all ring at the end of the ceremony.  Here, Michael Patrick Konze, Oneonta, right, accepts his bell from Alicia Fish, director of donor and alumni relations, and Duncan MacDonald, athletics giving officer.
