A new class of Fighting Scots is ready to take on the real world.

More than 250 graduates from Monmouth College received their diplomas on Sunday, May 15, 2016, at the school's Wallace Hall Plaza.

This year's graduation speaker was Jon Meacham, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and presidential historian. He is also the executive editor at Random House, and a frequent contributor to TV news programs.

Meacham advised the graduates to make history their ally, not their enemy.

"You are headed off to lives of great consequence in a time of great consequence for America and for the world," said Meacham.

This was Monmouth College's 159th commencement ceremony.
