But by far the hottest ticket around was Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg at Harvard Business School. An HBS alum who graduated when Mark Zuckerberg was 11 years old, Sandberg's Class Day speech was her first since Facebook's disastrous IPO, and many were no doubt hoping for some deep insights from her on that subject. They may have been disappointed on that score, but her speech-marking the 50th anniversary of the first women admitted to HBS–was by all accounts a winner. Unlike the usual drivel that passes for commencement addresses these days, Sandberg used hers to call for a world "where half our homes are run by men and half our institutions are run by women." It may not have been the first time that thought was expressed, but a clarion call for gender equality issuing forth from the hallowed halls of Harvard is, if nothing else, a step in the right direction.
