  To separate parents from their freshman sons and daughters, Morehouse College in Atlanta held a “Parting Party”.
  It began in an evening, with speeches in the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel. Then the incoming freshmen went through the gates of the school—which shut, leaving the parents outside.
  为了将父母与刚升上大学的子女分开,美国亚特兰大的莫尔豪斯学院举办了一场“分别仪式”。
  一个晚上,告别演讲在马丁·路德·金国际礼堂举行。在一段讲话之后,新学生步行进入学校大门——大门关上,将父母留在外面。
  When University of Minnesota freshmen move in August, parental separation was sneakier: mothers and fathers were invited to a place elsewhere so students can meet their roommates and discuss about dorm room space by themselves.
  Grinnell College has found it necessary to be explicit about when parents really, truly must say goodbye. After bags had been carried to dorm rooms, everyone gathered on the playground, with students on one side, parents on the other.
  The president welcoming the class of 2014 had his back to the parents — “a symbolic staging meant to inspire ‘an aha moment,’” said Houston Dougharty, vice president of student affairs, “an epiphany where parents realize, ‘My child is feeling more happy sitting with 400 people.’”
  Shortly after, mothers and fathers were asked to leave the school.
  More colleges tell the hour for last hugs in blunt ways. As of 5:30 pm on Sept. 11, for example, the parents of Princeton freshmen learn from the move-in schedule, “the later events are for students only.”
  The words draw a clear line. It’s easy for students to point to these words and say “Hey, Mom, I think you should go now”.
  明尼苏达大学新生入学时也举办了类似的活动,不过他们组织的活动更具策略。学生父母被邀请前往学校其他地方,这样他们的子女就可以与自己的室友见面,并独自与室友讨论如何布置寝室。
  格林内尔学院认为,学校应该明确告诉家长什么时候该与孩子说再见。当行李搬至寝室之后,新生开学典礼就在操场上举行。学生坐在操场一侧,而父母们则坐在另一侧。
  格林内尔学院的校长选择背对家长来欢迎2014届的新生。该校主管学生工作的副校长休斯顿·道葛尔蒂表示:“这标志性的一幕就是为了学生家长去领悟到‘哦,原来我的孩子跟另外400多人坐在一起,会感觉更快乐啊’。”
  而此后不久,学校也明确要求家长离开校园。
  很多学校更是明确地使用直言不讳的词语,告诉父母与孩子分别的具体时间。比如,普林斯顿大学在迎新手册上规定,截至9月11日下午5点30分,“此后的活动都只对学生开放”。
  这些语言画出了一条明确界限。学生可以指着这些文字对家长说:“瞧,妈妈,您该走了吧。”
