�eFour Hundred Forty-ninthCONVOCATIO�TheSUMMERAugust Twenty-ninth-A.D. ineteen Hundred Ninety-sevenROCKEFELLER MEMORIAL CHAPEL'ITt UNlVERS\ft Of CmCAGO uBRAaySEP 051997..THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOThe University of Chicago was founded in 1892 by John D. Rockefeller, biblical scholar William RaineyHarper, and Chicago-area Baptists. The University's Articles of Incorporation commit the institution toexcellence 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 that he be allowedto establish a university that would be unlike any other. He conceived of a university that would empha­size the creation of new knowledge and "make the work of investigation primary." To this end, theUniversity has always been dedicated to excellence 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 on American higher educa­tion. Faculty scholarship has shaped several essential disciplines and established important and distinctive"Chicago schools" in such disparate fields as economics, evolutionary biology, sociology, literary criticism,anthropology, and law and economics. Sixty-seven Nobel laureates have been members of the faculty, re­searchers, or students at the University. Programatic innovations originating at the University include theinvention of the four-quarter system, the establishment of a coherent program of general education forundergraduates, the initiation of a full-time medical school teaching faculty, and the development of exten­sion courses and programs in the liberal arts for adults.The University includes an undergraduate College, the William B. and Catherine V. GrahamSchool of General Studies, four graduate divisions (Biological Sciences, Humanities, Physical Sciences, andSocial Sciences), six graduate professional schools (Graduate School of Business, Divinity School, LawSchool, Pritzker School of Medicine, Irving B. Harris Graduate School of Public Policy Studies, and Schoolof 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 an enrollment of over 12,000 students.v'I'he 200 acre campus is located alongthe Midway Plaisance in Hyde Park, a residential community on Lake Michigan south of Chicago's Loop.The University's English Collegiate Gothic buildings, built of gray Indiana limestone, weredesigned to frame shady, green quadrangles. Contemporary campus buildings have been designed in keep­ing with the original Gothic theme while drawing from the tradition of great modern architecture forwhich the city of Chicago is famous. Eero Saarinen and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed striking build­ings for the Law School and the School of Social Service Administration. The National Trust for HistoricPreservation praised the University for its insistence on architectural continuity over a "a century of socialand academic change. "On July 1, 1993, Hugo F. Sonnenschein became the University's eleventh President.ORDER OF EXERCISESFor the Conferring of DegreesThree o'clockHUGO F.

BODENDean of Rockefeller Memorial ChapelTHE RECESSIONALToccata in F Major, opus 42(The Congregation remains standing through the Alma Mater, the Benediction, and the Recessional.) Charles-Marie WidorACADEMIC ATTIREAcademic attire originates in the everyday dress of twelfth-century Europe where the first modern univer­sities were founded at Bologna, Paris, Oxford, and Cambridge. Over time, while everyday fashionschanged, universities retained the earlier style for formal 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 in the United Statesuntil 1895, when the Intercollegiate Code, establishing a unified system of American academic attire, wasadopted by most American colleges and universities.Like military uniforms, academic attire indicates the rank, office, and institutional affiliations of thewearer. 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: aplain black robe for bachelors; a black robe with long, crescent-shaped sleeves for masters; and a black robewith velvet front panels and velvet bars on the sleeves for doctors or university officials. Beginning at theSpring Convocation in 1965, the doctor's robe of the University 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 thehood indicates the rank. The color of the velvet border indicates the area of study (white for arts, yellowfor science, blue for philosophy, green for medicine, purple for law, and red for divinity). The color of thelining indicates the institution.Black mortarboards are worn by recipients of each type of degree. At the University 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 undergraduateupperclassmen and by members of the faculty. Since 1903 the Marshal has been a member of the faculty,assisted by other members of the faculty and by undergraduate upperclassmen.The Marshal, Vice-Marshal, and Assistant Marshals of the University of Chicago wear maroon doc­tor's robes with alternating black velvet and gold metallic bars on the sleeves. Prior to receiving their bach­elor's degrees, Student Marshals wear maroon bachelor's robes with maroon mortarboards. After receiv­ing their degrees, they wear black mortarboards.Today's Student Marshals are appointed by the President of the University in recognition of theirexcellent scholarship and leadership. Appointment as a Student Marshal is the highest honor conferred bythe University upon undergraduate students.TED COHENRICHARD H. HELMHOLZBERNARD McGINNJOHN R. SCHUERMANHERMAN L. SINAIKO LORNA P.
