This is prceless
"Mr. Whitney's sister, who works in an advertising office, had designed T-shirts for the 15 family members who attended the ceremony. Mr. Whitney's many difficulties in reaching graduation were emblazoned on the front of the shirt: 4,872 demerits ("painful"); four and a half years on academic restriction ("wounding"); two visits to the committee that weighs student expulsions ("agonizing"); two reprieves from the admiral ("necessary"); and six years of school with only an undergraduate degree to show for it ("humbling")."

When I first heard of this midshipman on the radio, my reaction was that he had "challenged" himself. A-students wouldn't understand one bit.

I am surprised that he was the first President to speak at such a event there.
