Geeky Latin Salutatory Address @ Harvard Graduation

I mean, doing anything in Latin is geeky enough, but to talk about Star Wars in a dead language is über-geeky. From Slashdot:

"Harvard University celebrated its 356th Commencement on Thursday. It is tradition at Harvard is to have an undergraduate deliver a Latin Salutatory address. This year's speaker, Charles Joseph McNamara, delivered an address all about Star Wars in Latin!"

  2. Thanks for the link. I never knew about the podcast and I'm looking forward to checking it out as I had 8 years of Latin in grammar/high school & college.
