\author{Kyle Lee Bittinger}
% If you wish to list your previous degrees on the cover page, use the
% previous degrees command:
% \prevdegrees{A.A., Harvard University (1985)}
% You can use the \\ command to list multiple previous degrees
% \prevdegrees{B.S., University of California (1978) \\
% S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1981)}
\department{Department of Chemistry}
% If the thesis is for two degrees simultaneously, list them both
% separated by \and like this:
% \degree{Doctor of Philosophy \and Master of Science}
\degree{Doctor of Philosophy}
% As of the 2007-08 academic year, valid degree months are September,
% February, or June. The default is June.

\thesisdate{October 13, 2008}
%% By default, the thesis will be copyrighted to MIT. If you need to copyright
%% the thesis to yourself, just specify the `vi' documentclass option. If for
%% some reason you want to exactly specify the copyright notice text, you can
%% use the \copyrightnoticetext command.
%\copyrightnoticetext{\copyright IBM, 1990. Do not open till Xmas.}
% If there is more than one supervisor, use the \supervisor command
% once for each.
\supervisor{Robert W. Field}{Haslam and Dewey Professor of Chemistry}
% This is the department committee chairman, not the thesis committee
% chairman. You should replace this with your Department's Committee
% Chairman.
\chairman{Robert W. Field}{Chairman, Department Committee on Graduate Theses}
% Make the titlepage based on the above information. If you need
% something special and can't use the standard form, you can specify
% the exact text of the titlepage yourself. Put it in a titlepage
% environment and leave blank lines where you want vertical space.
% The spaces will be adjusted to fill the entire page. The dotted
% lines for the signatures are made with the \signature command.
\maketitle
% The abstractpage environment sets up everything on the page except
% the text itself. The title and other header material are put at the
% top of the page, and the supervisors are listed at the bottom. A
% new page is begun both before and after. Of course, an abstract may
% be more than one page itself. If you need more control over the
% format of the page, you can use the abstract environment, which puts
% the word "Abstract" at the beginning and single spaces its text.
%% You can either \input (*not* \include) your abstract file, or you can put
%% the text of the abstract directly between the \begin{abstractpage} and
%% \end{abstractpage} commands.
% First copy: start a new page, and save the page number.

% Uncomment the next line if you do NOT want a page number on your
% abstract and acknowledgments pages.
