Famous quotes containing the words commencement and/or speakers:
“After that came commencement daythat great day for which all other days were made. And it went. And that night I felt of myself all over, and to my astonishment, I found twas the same old Rud. Not a single cubit added to my stature; not a hairs breadth to my girth. If anything, on the contrary, I felt more lank and gaunt than common, much as if a load were off my stomach.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
“All the great speakers were bad speakers at first. Stumping it through England for seven years made Cobden a consummate debater. Stumping it through New England for twice seven trained Wendell Phillips.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
