"You guys look different, too," a speaker at the Haverford School told teachers and classmates in the audience, to break the ice.

Admittedly, though, Jenny Boylan, Class of '76, has gone through a transformation well beyond aging.

Boylan, who attended the private all-boys school from eighth grade through graduation, did so as James Boylan. A professor of creative writing and American literature at Colby College in Maine since 1988, she is also a transgender woman, who made the physical transition in her early 40s.
