Our friend Dennis graduated from the UW today. It was a good day for a graduation too. Dennis got a BA. The funny thing about Dennis’ degree is that the last class he took from UW was in 1978. Apparently when he started school there was a requirement that you take a foreign language class. For whatever reason, Dennis took all of the courses and credits required to graduate, except for a foreign language class. And while he was in school that requirement had been removed. Anyway, graduation did not happen in ’78.

Fast forward a few years. Dennis wants to get his degree and contacts the UW to figure out what he would need to do to complete his degree. They could find no notation that he had not completed everything earlier, and no mention of the long ago removed foreign language requirement. So – graduation beckoned.

Cap and gown, diploma and dinner. A good day.
