Remarks of Bill Gates, Harvard Commencement 2007

President Bok, former President Rudenstine, incoming President Faust,
members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members
of the faculty, parents, and especially, the graduates:
I’ve been waiting more than 30 years to say this: “Dad, I always told you I’d come back and get my degree.”
I want to thank Harvard for this timely honor. I’ll be changing my
job next year … and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on
my resume.
I applaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to
your degrees. For my part, I’m just happy that the Crimson has called
me “Harvard’s most successful dropout.” I guess that makes me
valedictorian of my own special class … I did the best of everyone who
failed.
But I also want to be recognized as the guy who got Steve Ballmer to
drop out of business school. I’m a bad influence. That’s why I was
invited to speak at your graduation. If I had spoken at your
orientation, fewer of you might be here today.
