But this quote, concise and memorable, will be the single "speech" that I will remember after I graduate.

Exactly, as a fellow student, I completely agree. This isn't us being arrogant, it simply isn't within the interests of the common teenage mind. I personally will remember something out of the ordinary and super interesting (like 330 flipping themselves... twice, 118's grappling hook, and Will.I.Am's comment) much more than I will remember exactly what Dean said at the closing ceremonies in 2015 (I actually don't remember much....).
