Charles Joseph McNamara presented Latin well, similar to how THREAD: #9723. I think that McNamara should be a voice actor for possible Star Wars dubs in Latin, along with Khordoc.

He's pretty energetic - somehow I expected Harvard's salutatory addresses to be dull, droning speeches sounding something like the Latin chants that you may hear in some movies.

As much as I am glad to see Latin being used, something about him is just so annoying to me.

This address is different from the usual ones, which are great accomplishments, but a little predictable. I really liked the spirit of this tribute.

This is great to watch. I wonder if the ancient Latin orators, like Cicero, spoke with similarly dramatic voice and gestures?

And why you started us at 5:22, near the end?

@Callaina is the one to ask about that. I believe she got some training in hand gestures used in Roman speeches.

And why you started us at 5:22, near the end?

Incompetence.

He's fantastic.
