Yes, it's nice that Bishop Vincenție came to the celebration. I liked that they gave the honor of raising the flags to Sergey Konstantinovich from pedagogy, Ivan Bolbasov from physical education and Eduard Bakin from Russian and literature. The ribbon tradition on the Tree of Knowledge seems to me to be a simple and good idea for freshmen.
