%  ************************** BRANDISS.STY **************************
%  Brandeis LaTeX2e dissertation package provides pages set up
%  according to the formats outlined by the GSAS for acceptable
%  dissertation format.  If you need to meet the other GSAS
%  requirements, you may want to consider using the brandiss class.
%  Be sure to check that the output matches the current
%  specifications.  The formatting requirements are on-line at:
%    http://www.brandeis.edu/gsas/students
%  under ``Dissertation Guidelines.''
%
%  This package derived its page formats from the brandeis.sty package
%  of Pablo Funes (2001), Andy Garland (2000), R.J. Luoma (1994), and
%  L.F. Brown (1987).  It was written using the guidelines in the
%  ``LaTeX2e for class and package writers'' document available
%  on-line at:
%    http://www.math.smith.edu/Local/latexdocs/html/clsguide/clsguide.html
