Two ThousandROCKEFELLER 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"make 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-one Nobel laureates have been members of thefaculty, researchers, or students at the University. Programmatic innovationsoriginating at the University include the invention of the four-quarter system,the establishment of a coherent program of general education for undergraduates, theinitiation of a full-time medical school teaching faculty, and the development ofextension courses and programs 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 camp1!s 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, 2000, Don Michael Randel became the University's twelfthPresident.ORDER Of EXERCISESFor the Conferring of DegreesThree o'clockDON MICHAEL RANDEL, President of the University, PresidingTHE CONVOCATION PROCESSIONPROCESSIONAL - Rigaudon(The Congregation remains standing until after the prayer.)
