I couldn't download it but I read it.  It was WONDERFUL.  Sending it to my music performance graduate.  Sometimes the pit of my stomach wonders if encouraging him to follow passion was correct.  Reading this was better than an acid suppressant:D

You can now stream from the Harvard Alum site, if you wish. Seeing the speech is even better than reading it.

Here's a streaming feed too: http://video.the-leaky-cauldron.org/video/1027

(I'm a fan and she did not disappoint me.)

I sent it to my oldest daughter, who is poor, but happy and not starving, thank goodness.

I thought it was great.  I am sure I will be looking at it many times as the art school applications go out:)

Thanks for sharing this, Scoop.  I enjoyed it and shared it with my daughter (who is a Harry Potter fan and who also intends to major in Latin or the Classics); neither of us had known that Rowling was a Classics major.

Regards,
Kareni
