\abstract{ \OnePageChapter % because it is very short
Often the abstract will be long enough to require
more than one page, in which case the macro
``$\backslash$OnePageChapter'' should {\it not}
be used.
But this one isn't, so it should.
}
\dedication[Dedication]{ % NEVER use \OnePageChapter here.
To all of the fluffy kitties.
}
\acknowledgements{ \OnePageChapter % *MUST* BE ONLY ONE PAGE!
Here's where you acknowledge folks who helped.
But keep it short, i.e., no more than one page,
as required by the Grad School Specifications.
}
