%%% \thesistitle
%%% \thesisauthorpreviousdegrees
%%% \thesissupervisor
%%% \thesisauthoraddress
%%%
%%% In addition to the above variables, the following commands are

%%%
%%% \thesiscopyrightpage
%%%                  %% Generates the copyright page.
%%% \thesistitlepage %% Generates the title page.
%%% \thesissignaturepage

%%% \thesisdedicationpage

%%%
%%% There are also a few environments to generate paragraph-like text:
%%%
%%% thesisacknowledgments
%%%                  %% Text of acknowledgments.
%%% thesisabstract   %% Text of abstract.
%%% thesisauthorvita %% Text of author's vita.
%%%
%%% Bells and Whistles:
%%% ===================
%%%
%%% The following commands are provided purely for playing around with.
%%% They should be used in the document preamble (before \begin{document}).
%%%
%%% \thesisdraft     %% Prints a timestamp at the top of each page.  This
%%%                  %% must be invoked in the document preamble (before
%%%                  %% \begin{document}).
%%% \leftchapter, \centerchapter, \rightchapter
%%%                  %% These commands generate left-justified, centered,
%%%                  %% and right-justified chapter headings, respectively.
%%% \singlespace, \oneandhalfspace, \doublespace
%%%                  %% These define the line spacing to single-space,
%%%                  %% one-and-one-half space, and double-space
%%%                  %% respectively.  Note that the minimum spacing
%%%                  %% required by the Graduate School is \oneandhalfspace,
%%%                  %% but \singlespace is useful, e.g., when using
%%%                  %% \thesisdraft.
