Rockefeller, biblical schol­ar William Rainey Harper, and Chicago-area Baptists. The University's Articles ofIncorporation commit the institution to excellence in both undergraduate and gradu­ate education, an explicit policy of co-education, and an atmosphere of non-sectarian­ism.Harper agreed to become the first president of the University on the condition thathe be allowed to establish a university that would be unlike any other. He conceived ofa university that would emphasize the creation of new knowledge and "make the workof investigation primary." To this end, the University has always been dedicated toexcellence in research and has sought the most distinguished scholars for its faculty.Over the years, the University and its faculty have had a major impact onAmerican higher education. Faculty scholarship has shaped several essential disciplinesand established important and distinctive "Chicago schools" in such disparate fields aseconomics, evolutionary biology, sociology, literary criticism, anthropology, and lawand economics. Sixty-seven Nobel laureates have been students, researchers, or facultyat the University. Programmatic innovations originating at the University include theinvention of the four-quarter system, the establishment of a coherent program of gen­eral education for undergraduates, the initiation of a full-time medical school teachingfaculty, and the development of extension courses and programs in the liberal arts foradults.The University includes an undergraduate College, four graduate divisions(Biological Sciences, Humanities, Physical Sciences, and Social Sciences), six graduateprofessional schools (Graduate School of Business, Divinity School, Law School,Pritzker School of Medicine, Irving B. Harris Graduate School of Public Policy Studies, .and School of Social Service Administration), and a diverse collection of academic sup­port units and resources including libraries, research institutes, clinics, museums, the­aters, and a university press. The University has a faculty of more than 1,200 and anenrollment of over 12,000 students. The 200 acre campus is located along the MidwayPlaisance in Hyde Park, a residential community on Lake Michigan south of Chicago'sLoop.The University's English Collegiate Gothic buildings, built of gray Indiana lime­stone, were designed to frame shady, green quadrangles. Contemporary campus build­ings have been designed in keeping with the original Gothic theme while drawingfrom the tradition of great modern architecture for which the city of Chicago isfamous. Eero Saarinen and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed striking buildings forthe Law School and the School of Social Service Administration. The National Trustfor Historic Preservation praised the University for its insistence on architectural con­tinuity over a "a century of social and academic change."On July 1, 1993, Hugo F. Sonnenschein became the University's eleventhPresident.4ORDER OF EXERCISESFor the Conferring of DegreesThree oJ clockHUGO F.

Her current research asks why Americans distrust major social and civic institu­tions such as the government and the media, and considers possible remedies. She isalso working on an intellectual biography of pioneering social worker Jane Addams.Ms. Elshtain is the author of numerous books and over 200 essays. In Democracyon Trial (1994), she argues that the weakening of American democracy is the result ofincreasing apathy toward civic engagement and community. Her writing is also regu­larly featured in The New Republic.Ms. Elshtain received her A.B. degree in history from Colorado State Universityin 1963, her A.M. in history from the University of Colorado in 1965, and her Ph.D.in politics from Brandeis University in 1973. Before coming to Chicago, Ms. Elshtainwas professor of philosophy and the Centennial Professor of Political Science atVanderbilt University. She joined the University faculty in 1995.Alleluya Psallat Peter AstonTHE ANTHEMAlleluia: Sings this merry company: Strike the cymbals,Sound the zither.

BODENDean of Rockefeller Memorial ChapelTHE RECESSIONALPrelude and Fugue in D Major, BWV 532(The Congregation remains standing through the Alma Mater, the Benediction, and the Recessional.) J. S. Bach21 JACADEMIC ATTIREAcademic attire originates in the everyday dress of twelfth-century Europe where thefirst modern universities were founded at Bologna, Paris, Oxford, and Cambridge.Over time, while everyday fashions changed, universities retained the earlier style forformal attire to be worn by students, graduates, faculty, and university officials on cer­emonial occasions.The styles of academic attire worn at Oxford and Cambridge were widely used inthe United States until 1895, when the Intercollegiate Code, establishing a unified sys­tem of American academic attire, was adopted by most American colleges and univer­sities.Like military uniforms, academic attire indicates the rank, office, and institutionalaffiliations of the wearer. The basic elements of American academic attire are the robe,the hood, and the cap.The style of the robe indicates the rank of the wearer's degree or, in some cases,the wearer's office: a plain black robe for bachelors; a black robe with long, crescent­shaped sleeves for masters; and a black robe with velvet front panels and velvet bars onthe sleeves for doctors or university officials. Beginning at the Spring Convocation in1965, the doctor's robe of the llniversity of Chicago has been in the school color,maroon.The hood represents the specific degree and the institution by which it was grant­ed. The size of the hood indicates the rank. The color of the velvet border indicates thearea of study (white for arts, yellow for science, blue for philosophy, green for medi­cine, purple for law, and red for divinity). The color of the lining indicates the insti­tution.Black mortarboards are worn by recipients of -each type of degree. At theUniversity of Chicago, recipients of doctoral degrees wear octagonal velvet tams.THE MARSHAL AND THE STUDENT MARSHALSThe office of Marshal of the University was established in 1895 to assist with the con­duct of official ceremonies. Until 1903 the Marshal was an undergraduate upperclass­man, assisted by other undergraduate upperclassmen and by members of the faculty.Since 1903 the Marshal has been a member of the faculty, assisted by other members ofthe faculty and by undergraduate upperclassmen.The Marshal, Vice-Marshal, and Assistant Marshals of the University of Chicagowear maroon doctor's robes with alternating black velvet and gold metallic bars on thesleeves. Prior to receiving their bachelor's degrees, Student Marshals wear maroonbachelor's robes with maroon mortarboards. After receiving their degrees, they wearblack mortarboards.Today's Student Marshals are appointed by the President of the University inrecognition of their excellent scholarship and leadership. Appointment as a StudentMarshal is the highest honor conferred by the University upon undergraduate stu­dents.22TED COHENRICHARD H. HELMHOLZBERNARD McGINNJOHN R. SCHUERMANHERMAN L. SINAIKO LORNA P.
