Actually they aren't private they are public and housed in the Mudd Library at Princeton for anyone to see. Currently online they have 449 thesis's available for sale. Michelle Obama's was one of them until recently.
And for a candidate who's running on the premise that words mean everything I'd think a 96 page thesis the woman he married, and who speaks for him to arenas full of thousands of people, matters.
BTW there are thesis there from the 60's and beyond. For you to say that what people write and think in the past doesn't matter I think is off mark.
