A list of famous salutatorians would be a welcome addition to this article. If not already covered in an article on salutatory addresses--which may or may not exist, I haven't checked--a definition/description of "salutatory," perhaps focusing on its etymology and usage history, would also be valuable.

"In the high school setting, a salutatorian may also be asked to speak about the past lives of the current graduating class…." I somehow don't believe this. Thomas Levine ( talk) 00:36, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
I have strong doubts that this title is widespread in Canada. It is certainly not common in Alberta or Quebec. So it would be good if someone who had more information about this could flesh it out a bit, or remove the reference to Canada altogether.-- Filll ( talk | wpc) 20:30, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
The one Harvard graduation I attended (in the 80s), the graduating seniors (and only them) had printed copies of the Latin speech, with a translation. This wasn't widely advertised among the audience, but I was let in on the secret. This enabled the seniors to follow along and laugh (or moan) at the correct places, thereby conveying the illusion that they all understood Latin. This might have given the impression that they had cue cards, but they didn't. It would be truly sad if Harvard has abandoned this tradition and uses cue cards instead nowadays.
