Did they have this in the 70's? I know it is now a big deal but I am totally blanking on it if we did.

Wife and I graduated in '87, and as far as I remember, we didn't have it then.

counter in the old bookstore underneath Harcombe gave it to me (after it finally came in) and I opened the little box and put it on my right finger.

Sounds like another way to separate parents from their cash.

I graduated in 1998, 25 years after I should have, and there was not a ring ceremony. There was one for my daughter who graduated in 2010.
