105-year-old Stanford alum finally receives delayed graduate degree

Virginia Hislop, age 105, finally receives her Master's degree from Stanford University after 83 years. Despite a successful career in education, she felt something was missing without the advanced degree. Hislop had taken the required classes at Stanford but never finished her thesis due to World War II. The university waived the thesis requirement, allowing her to fulfill the criteria for the degree. Hislop expressed satisfaction and joy at finally receiving her diploma, adding it to her collection of accomplishments.
