Commencement

We had the distinguished liberal-minded former Supreme Court Justice David Souter give our commencement speech yesterday. Admittingly, I should of paid more attention and shouldn't have been counting the times I heard the words, "Harvard Graduate President Obama" throughout the ceremony. Here's JK Rowling's commencement speech from 2008. As usually Rowling said it best, "Delivering a commencement address is a great responsibility, or so I thought until I cast my mind back to my own graduation...reflecting on (the commencement) speech has helped me enormously on writing this one, because it turns out I can't remember a single word she said."
