Advice to Graduation Speakers
This is the time of year that we get both good and bad reports about graduation speakers. I think we had Maurice Sendak at my graduation, which was OK. I also remember that the student body got to vote for one person to receive an honorary degree (rather than the usual criteria for giving the other honorary degrees, which seemed to involve donating a building). We voted for our UPS driver, who really was one of the most important people in our lives at the time, being our main link to home and the outside world.
Anyway, Ace of Spades has some crude but funny advice for graduation speakers.
