You went to Harvard? Guess the "no Latin" applied just to the undergrads. My spouse's Med School diploma was in Latin in 1973. Or did the riots achieve their purpose?

That brings to mind my experience with Latin diplomas. After having
given out diplomas in Latin for 300+ years, my school chose 1962 (my

we had latin orations condeming the changs on the steps of Widener
Library, and I got my first and only taste of tear gas...
