<p>I'm surprised no one has seen fit to mention this yet, so I'll bite. The administration announced last week that Conan O'Brien will be Dartmouth's 2011 Commencement speaker:</p>
<p>TheDartmouth.com:</a> Conan O’Brien to deliver Commencement address</p>
<p>Such heresy inviting a Harvard grad!</p>
<p>^^Yeah, but he’s talented and very witty. He’ll probably give a great speech.</p>
<p>heckuva better option than last year’s choice…Dr. Kim’s personal friend who spent the first several minutes of his speech praising the new Pres. He laid it on pretty thick…yuck!</p>
<p>Conan gave the Commencement speech at Stuyvesant High School in New York City in 2006. It was hilarious and wonderful.</p>
<p>Hey, if Yale invited a famous Harvard grad (John Kennedy) to be commencement speaker, so can Dartmouth invite one. BTW, JFK’s Yale speech was quite witty too.</p>
