Everybody at Harvard graduated magna cum laude back then.
An awful lot of stupid people got honors at Harvard.
They’ve tightened the requirements since then.
Mira’s okay. Just saying that it wasn’t anything to boast about.
Mira Sorvino did an actual undergraduate thesis!!!!
And her scholarly work won a prestigious prize for excellence!!

So she deserved her “magna cum laude”! And as I recall, many graduates received a “cum laude” back then, but not a “magna cum laude”.
