Today, Dave Matthews was honored by Haverford College, a school in Pennsylvania which has Quaker origins, during thier 2005 Commencement Ceremony. Dave received an honorary Ph.D. degree in Arts. Four honorary degrees were issued to "deserving and accomplished individuals, who, in true Haverfordian fashion, have strived for and achieved success through talent, passion, and perseverance", said Haverford College President Thomas R. Tritton. Dave spoke during the commencement ceremony after receiving the honorary degree. "He spoke about God, whoever or whatever your god was to you, and how he is a non-believer, but prays to what he thinks god is, like to the trees, the mountains, and also read a poem." He ended his speech saying, "Go save the world by being yourself"
