Unanswered questions I have about the above Graduation information:
  1. I know if a student has a major in more than one distinct discipline, e.g. Art and History, that is called a Double Major. When a Student earns a B.M.E. and a B.M., is that also considered a Double Major?

  2. [Multiple Graduation Dates] According to the Commencement Ceremony programs, some Students are listed as receiving the same degree at two and even three! different Ceremonies, and one time three years apart! 1) Why? and 2) What is the "Official" date of Graduation for the following Students? Until I have an answer, I will install every known Graduation date in each Student's index entry. (Students are listed here in the order of their earliest known Graduation Date.)
