What?

The NY Post reports that students loved Mr. Rogers's commencement speech. Hardly. The standing ovation cited was very slow to come. Remember, we're a polite bunch: Alex Winters could get a standing ovation at a Dartmouth commencement.

Not so fast

In a follow-up to Hummel's post regarding the new AD, apparently Charles Harris has resigned due to questions about certain items on his resume. Sounds similar to the George O'Leary situation at Notre Dame.

Rogers Speaks Lyrics

In my latest editorial, I included a few lyrics Rogers likes to use during commencement speeches. Well, he used them and a few more.

"It's you I like," Rogers says.

Graduate Degrees in Progress

That's about it now. I suppose I should set the Commencement scene for you.

The morning began cloudy and threatened rain. I feared for the worst, for if it were raining I would not be able to provide this valuable service to you. But, the clouds have burned off and the sun is out. The temperature is hovering around eighty. Being from the South Carolina lowcountry, this weather reminds of a brisk fall day, but, always taking precautions, the College has set up water coolers throughout the Green. An ambulance is also standing by lest anyone die of heatstroke.

I am going to try to get a better view for the rest. I will be back shortly.

Live at Commencement: Larry Scholer Reports

First of all, let me welcome anyone who is joining me live right now. Perhaps, you are homebound, maybe you are just lazy...don't worry I will not let a detail slip by.
Senator Judd Gregg is in attendance�he marched up to the stage with the professors. Mr. Rogers passed and created quite a buzz among students and parents alike.
While no real Commencement action is occurring, I would like to describe my morning. I arose at 3 AM as my current living arrangements are less than adequate. Dartmouth, of course, kicked me out of my room early this week and I have been living in an office, which, although comfortable, is not acceptable for my residential needs. Anyway, I arrived on the Green around 5:30 and started placing issues in strategic locations (Commencement issue is online now). Around 8 I began personally distributing issues. This guy,short and slight, started standing beside me and telling people not to take a Review. "Do you know what that is?" he'd say. "That is not the real Dartmouth paper." This went on for a few minutes,. even after I had personally told him, age 45 i'd guess, to behave reasonably. He finally left.

They are giving out graduate degrees now. boring.
