Clinton to speak at Harvard's Class Day

By Marcella Bombardieri, Globe Staff

Former president Bill Clinton will speak to Harvard University's graduating seniors at Class Day on June 6, the university announced today.

Class Day is a less formal, more student-focused celebration held the day before commencement. This year's commencement speaker is Microsoft chairman Bill Gates.

Clinton brings a little more gravitas than some the Class Day speakers of recent years, who included comedians Sacha Baron Cohen, who appeared as his hip hop character Ali G, Seth MacFarlane, creator of the TV show "Family Guy," and Will Ferrell. The 2005 speaker was Meet the Press moderator Tim Russert.
