I was just surfing around and by chance a stumpled upon the Homepage of Brandeis University and saw the live stream of Paul getting a honorary degree and singing The Boxer.

It is still fascinating for me that you can watch these tings live anywhere in the world.

I saw nothing about a degree. Odd
he had nothing to say. Strange.

Just because the clip only shows The Boxer performance doesn´t mean he had nothing to say. I too hope that the speaking part is online soon...

If PS spoke, that´d be a real bonus. There can be several honorary degrees conferred. honorary degree recipients don´t usually speak unless they are giving the commencement address (in this case the Israeli ambassador).
I think that´s why the students started the facebook campaign to get the song.

Sorry I didn´t know that. I never went
to my own graduation.

I read that he spoke at the Center for Performing Arts graduation later that day, but can´t find anything about it.
