I have to say I thought most of them sounded pretty pedestrian - except for Amy Gutmann's, which sounded pretentious. The standout, it seemed to me, was the one the guy from Wesleyan wrote:
... Roth decided to take a risk, telling a story of his brother who died at age five, before Mr. Roth was born. His older brother's portrait hung in their childhood home.
"I was to heal the wounds caused by the death of that beautiful little boy in the picture," he wrote. "Yet I was also to remain the trace of those wounds."
