Pomp And Circumstance
Went to my sister's college graduation this morning. It was probably the shortest commencement ceremony I've ever attended. Not much in the way of invited speakers or the like. It could basically be summed up as "Good job. Here's your diploma. Now leave."
Thoughts on Episode III are forthcoming...

Eww. Not sure whether your sister's was in the same category, but I've noticed that the more business-focussed commencement speeches get, the worse they get. Ours was by a bank employee (happened to be the daughter of a rich alumnus) who (a) plugged the Bank's services in the middle of the speech ("we will be there for you when you need home loans," no, seriously) and (b) quoted the dictionary. Websters, naturally.
