Nineteen Hundred Ninety-nineROCKEFELLER MEMORIAL CHAPELTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOThe University of Chicago was founded in 1892 by John D. Rockefeller, biblicalscholar William Rainey Harper, and Chicago-area Baptists. The University'sArticles of Incorporation commit the institution to excellence in both undergraduateand graduate education, an explicit policy of co-education, and an atmosphere of non­sectarianism.Harper agreed to become the first president of the University on the conditionthat he be allowed to establish a university that would be unlike any other. He con­ceived of a university that would emphasize the creation of new knowledge and"malee the work of investigation primary." To this end, the University has alwaysbeen 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 onAmerican higher education. Faculty scholarship has shaped several essential disci­plines and established important and distinctive "Chicago schools" in such disparatefields as economics, evolutionary biology, sociology, literary criticism, anthropology,and law and economics. Seventy Nobel laureates have been members of the faculty,researchers, or students at the University. Programmatic innovations originating atthe University include the invention of the four-quarter system, the establishment ofa coherent program of general education for undergraduates, the initiation of a full­time medical school teaching faculty, and the development of extension courses andprograms in the liberal arts for adults.The University includes an undergraduate College, the William B. andCatherine V. Graham School of General Studies, four graduate divisions (BiologicalSciences, Humanities, Physical Sciences, and Social Sciences), six graduate profes­sional schools (Graduate School of Business, Divinity School, Law School, PritzkerSchool of Medicine, Irving B. Harris Graduate School of Public Policy Studies, andSchool 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 andan enrollment of over 12,000 students. The 200 acre campus is located along theMidway Plaisance in Hyde Park, a residential community on Lake Michigan southof Chicago's Loop.The University's English Collegiate Gothic buildings, built of gray Indianalimestone, were designed to frame shady, green quadrangles. Contemporary campusbuildings have been designed in keeping with the original Gothic theme while draw­ing from the tradition of great modern architecture for which the city of Chicago isfamous. Eero Saarinen and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed striking buildingsfor the Law School and the School of Social Service Administration. The NationalTrust for Historic Preservation praised the University for its insistence on architec­tural continuity over "a century of social and academic change. "On July 1, 1993, Hugo F. Sonnenschein became the University's eleventhPresident.ORDER OJF EXERCTI§E§For the Conferring of DegreesThree o'clockHUGO F.

Lasker Professor of Medical Sciences in the Department of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology, theCommittees on Developmental Biology and Genetics, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and the CollegeDr. Susan 1. Lindquist joined the faculty of the University of Chicago in 1978. Her currentresearch covers a broad range of subjects united by a common theme: protein conformational switches.Living organisms are largely composed of thousands of proteins, each with a very specific job to do. Forproteins to function properly they must first fold into a very specific structure. Dr. Lindquist investigateshow changes in protein structure can lead to disease and to new mechanisms of inheritance, as well as howsuch changes can help shape the process of evolution.Among Dr. Lindquist's numerous awards and honors, she has been elected to the NationalAcademy of Sciences and to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, served as secretary of theGenetics Society of America, and received a MERIT Award from the National Institutes of Health. Shehas been the recipient of research support from many agencies, including the Howard Hughes MedicalInstitute, the American Cancer Society, the National Institutes of Health, the National ScienceFoundation, and the Keck Foundation. She is-the author of over 100 publications.Dr. Lindquist received her undergraduate degree in microbiology from the University of Illinoisat Urbana-Champaign, where she graduated with High Honors. She received her Ph.D. in biology fromHarvard University in 1976.Laudate Knut NystedtTHE ANTHEMPraise the Lord all ye nations; praise him all ye peoples.For his loving kindness has been bestowed upon us,And the truth of the Lord endures forever.THE AWARD OF HONORSAwarded General Honors with the Bachelor's Degree:Robert Rogers ChenaultMagdalena E.

BODENDean of Rockefeller Memorial ChapelTHE RECESSIONALToccatafrom Symphony No.5 Charles-Marie Widor(The Congregation remains standing through the Alma Mater, the Benediction, and the Recessional)ACADEMIC 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 onceremonial occasions.The styles of academic attire worn at Oxford and Cambridge were widely usedin the United States until 1895, when the Intercollegiate Code, establishing a uni­fied system of American academic attire, was adopted by most American colleges anduniversities.Like military uniforms, academic attire indicates the rank, office, and institu­tional affiliations of the wearer. The basic elements of American academic attire arethe 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 barson the sleeves for doctors or university officials. Beginning at the Spring Convocationin 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 the hood indicates the rank. The color of the velvet border indicatesthe area of study (white for arts, yellow for science, blue for philosophy, green formedicine, purple for law, and red for divinity). The color of the lining indicates theinstitution.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 theconduct 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 othermembers of the faculty and by undergraduate upperclassmen.The Marshal, Vice-Marshal, and Assistant Marshals of the University ofChicago wear maroon doctor's robes with alternating black velvet and gold metallicbars on the sleeves. Prior to receiving their bachelor's degrees, Student Marshals wearmaroon 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 inrecognition of their excellent scholarship and leadership. Appointment as a StudentMarshal is the highest honor conferred by the University upon undergraduate stu­dents.RAND!
