Jerry Brown Speaks, People Graduate
From the Alameda Times-Star:

'POMP and Circumstance" chimed up shortly after a Christmas carol about a sleigh ride during commencement activities Saturday for about 200 December graduates from the University of California, Berkeley. The students filed into Zellerbach Auditorium for the slightly off-season ceremony, held annually for students who finish their studies in the middle of the year rather than at the end. About 2,700 students will graduate this month, officials said, but most of them will likely opt to participate in the larger commencement in May

Jerry Brown had some words of wisdom for the graduates.

Brown, whose degree is in Latin and Greek, left students with a Latin saying -- ad astra per aspera -- which he translated as meaning, "To the stars through the thorns."

Consider it done, Jerry!
