Nice job. :-)

[Greg Berge]

Very cool.  Even if you aren't ideologically inclined towards his politics, he's an excellent choice.

HRC was the convocation speaker for one of the graduations I attended. (Either one of mine in '92 or '93 or my brother's in '94.)  I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned in the article.

Bit of a step up from my convocation speaker: Danny Glover.

Was he on a recruiting trip or something?

[Q]Very cool. Even if you aren't ideologically inclined towards his politics, he's an excellent choice.[/Q]I've never liked the man.  But I have to say it's a pretty nice accomplishment to book him.

Har.  Please, we all know why Glover hasn't been in the lineup again after his injury.  He's too old for this shit.

clinton is not on a campaign tour, age.

i am glad that the alums and the current students are so pleased about our choice. please look at the daily sun tomorrow for a full article written by the student committee. we are also sending this out nationally, so maybe someone will pick it up.

I think Age was just making a joke about Danny Glover being the name of a current freshman defenseman.

"Testosterone, which is the male hormone... and estrogen, which is the female hormone..."  Thanks, Danny Glover.  Seriously -- that's all I remember from his speech.

I thought James Carville was excellent, though.  I thought his "lesser known things about Lincoln" was really inspirational.  ...and I still have his Pooh quote in my aim profile

Olberman in '98 was great.  The guy in '93 who read from his book, not so much.

I believe that would be Matt Ruff, author of Fool on the Hill.

Mine was David Drinkwater (the only Dean of Students during my time on the Hill, since the position was vacant for the last three years after he left to take a headmaster job on Long Island), which was a cool choice.
