What were you trying to do?
   Format the title page of my thesis.

What's wrong:
   ``(c) Raul J. Acevedo, MCMXCII. All rights reserved.'' should read
   ``(c) Raul J. Acevedo, MCMXCII.  All rights reserved.''

   I.e. line 311 of mitthesis.sty reads:

	   \uppercase\expandafter{\romannumeral\@degreeyear}}

   it should read

	   \uppercase\expandafter{\romannumeral\@degreeyear\@}}

   Because \romannumeral produces a year in all caps, TeX has to be told
   that the period following it ends a sentence with `\@'.  

   Yes, this is a big nit-pick.  But after four years of hell and
   $100,000, you're damn right I'm being picky.  :)

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
   LaTeX manual p. 14.
