The world's shortest commencement speeches

Unless it's a celebrity speaking, and sometimes even then, commencement speeches are too long and too boring. Usually.

But the LA Times shows us some short commencement speeches.

One afternoon in 1992, [Richard] Moore sat waiting under a blazing sun to deliver his address to 12th-graders at Crossroads School in Santa Monica.

The ceremony "took place on asphalt between buildings and below basketball hoops," one parent, Ralph Saltsman, told The Times. "Innumerable speeches preceded Mr. Moore.

"When he rose to speak, he paused, looked out over the audience with great presence and said, 'Feelings.' He paused again and continued to gaze out over all assembled. Then, with feeling, he said, 'Adventures.' And paused again before concluding with 'Ideas.' "

Then Moore sat down, his impromptu three-word commencement address finished.
