I graduated midyear from Marquette University (December 1980), and our speaker for the midyear ceremony was Father Somebody, the current university president. Zzzz. Maybe there was a better speaker in June 1981 when the rest of my class graduated, but I don't remember attending.

I also attended the Stanford graduation ceremony in 1987 when I got my PhD. The web page tells me Tip O'Neill spoke, but I remember zero about that. I do remember the C.S. department hooding ceremony afterward -- that's a great tradition.
