% My modifications 2009/06/03
% Cleaned up the layout code by using the geometry package.
% Added correct footnote format.
% Changed \makecopyright to take one argument, the year; fall
% dissertations should have be copyright next year, not this year.
% Layout should be in conformity with the October 2006 Yale GSAS
% "Preparation and Submission of the Doctoral Dissertation."

%
% User documentation:
%
% First, get a copy of the booklet "Preparation and submission of the
% Doctoral Dissertation" from the Graduate School. Then, ask your
% department and advisor if there any other requirements.
%
% This class conforms to the Graduate School's current requirements
% (as of March 2000), in the sense that it was accepted without any
% quibbles. However, requirements change, so check the fine print.
% Also, some departments may have additional requirements which are
% not included in this class.
%
% Since ultimate responsibility rests with you, the candidate, you
% should verify that the resulting dissertation meets requirements of
% your department and the Graduate School.
%
% 12pt type is easiest to read. Please be kind to your readers.
%
% Here's an outline of how to use this class in the file example.tex:
%
% The preamble should use the \author command to set the author's
% name, the \date command to set the month and year the degree will be
% awarded, and the \advisor command to set the name of the dissertation
% advisor.
%
% The front matter should have (in this order):
% abstract
% title page
% copyright notice page
% table of contents
% list of figures, if any (order of lists is optional)
% list of tables, if any
% acknowledgments (optional)
% glossary (optional)
%
% A dedication may also be included in the front matter, presumably
% after the copyright notice page and before the table of contents.
%
% The abstract environment and the \maketitle command of the standard
% LaTeX book class are redefined to meet Graduate School requirements.
% A \makecopyright command is provide to create the copright notice.
%
% The body is standard LaTeX stuff.
%
% The appendices (if any) and bibliography are the end matter. The
% style of the bibliography is left to you.
%
% There is a new class option 'draft' which you may find useful. It
% places on the title page and in the page headings the current date
% and a message indicating that the copy is a draft. This is helpful
% when you're editing and have several drafts scattered about.
%
% Summary:
%
% Just like the book document class but
%
% class options: draft adds `draft of \today' to page heading
% and title page
% twopage, twocolumn, landscape and papersize
% options are ignored
%
% abstract environment redefined to have Yale heading.
%
% \maketitle produces Yale title page
%
% \mainmatter resets paging for the body.
%
% \advisor command to set the name of the dissertation advisor
%
% \makecopyright{YEAR} command to produce the copyright page.
%
% The standard \date command should be used to set the month and year
% the degree is to be awarded.

% In the book class, first pages of chapters and title pages
