ALDOUSProfessor, Department of StatisticsUniversity of California, BerkeleyDavid Aldous has made profound contributions to a stunning array of areas in probability,particularly discrete and applied probability. His early work in classical probabilitydemonstrated his ability to find highly original and unified approaches to problems that hadpreviously been addressed by a variety of technically difficult methods.Professor Aldous has been even more influential in his research in discrete probability andits applications to problems in biology, physics and especially computer science. He introducedand developed the notion of rapidly mixing Markov chains, which has turned out to be a keymathematical tool for studying how fast Markov chain Monte Carlo methods converge to thecorrect answer. This work has made him a leader in the theory of computing. His algorithmfor sampling spanning trees at random contains the essential ideas behind what is known asperfect sampling, which is a topic of intense current interest in the theory of algorithms and incomputational statistics. In just 250 pages, his 1989 monograph Probability Approximations viathe Poisson Clumping Heuristic solves over 100 astonishingly varied and difficult problems inprobability theory using a relatively straightforward recipe.The breadth and depth of Professor Aldous' mathematical results clearly places him amongthe top living developers of mathematical probability. That this same person is also perhapsthe leading active applied probabilist in the world and a' major contributor to the theory ofcomputing is simply amazing.David J. Aldous' contributions to pure and applied probability have created new fields andprofoundly changed old ones. His work on Markov chains, both theoretical and algorithmic,places him at the center of an ongoing revolution in theoretical computer science and com­putational statistics. He is a master of rigorous mathematical argument who has also writtena book showing how one can heuristically solve an astonishingly diverse array of probabilityproblems for which no known rigorous solutions exist. A world leader in both theoreticaland applied probability, Professor Aldous provides a shining example of the importance ofprobability as a way of thinking about and studying our world.The candidate will be presented by Michael Stein, Chairman, Department of Statistics; and Professor,Department of Statistics and the College.FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF SCIENCEJOHN N. BAHCALLThe Richard Black Professor, School of Natural SciencesThe Institute for Advanced Studyand Visiting ProfessorPrinceton UniversityWithout the insight and understanding provided by theory, astronomers would be, inTycho Brahe's words, blind watchers of the sky. John Bahcall is a theoretical astro­physicist whose work has given astronomers exceptional vision. His contributions to ourunderstanding of the Universe span it completely, from our own sun to the most distantquasars at the visible edge of the Universe. Bahcall's mathematical models of the sun havefor three decades been the standard and have guided the efforts to detect the neutrinosproduced by the nuclear reactions that power it. When solar neutrinos were detected bythe Davis experiment and others, the precision of Bahcall's calculations allowed newproperties of the neutrino to be discovered.As Professor of Astrophysics at the Institute for Advanced Study for the past 30 yearsJohn Bahcall has men to red many of the leading theoretical astrophysicists of the nextgeneration as well as shaped the careers of numerous others. Bahcall was a driving forcebehind the Hubble Space Telescope, and chaired Astronomy's Decadal Survey for the1990's. This report, known as the Bahcall Survey, provided the vision that led to the great­est decade of discovery in astronomy. On his watch, astronomers have not been blindwatchers of the sky.CITATION STATEMENTJohn N. Bahcall's theoretical calculations inspired the remarkable experiment that demon­strated that the sun is powered by nuclear reactions and with their precision led to newdiscoveries about neutrinos. One of the most influential theoretical astrophysicists of hisgeneration, he has mentored many of the leading theorists of the next generation. Hisvision and work have shaped astronomy for more than three decades.The candidate will be presented by Michael S. Turner, Chairman, Department ofAstronomy andAstrophysics; and the Bruce V and Diana M. Rauner Distinguished Service Professor, Departments ofAstronomy and Astrophysics and Physics, the Enrico Fermi Institute, and the College.FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERSVEENA DASThe Krieger-Eisenhower Professor, Department ofAnthropologyThe Johns Hopkins UniversityVeena Das has redefined the anthropology of complex societies in several remarkableways. She was the major figure to show how the religious texts of Indic civilizationcould be both mirrors and foils for the analysis of contemporary ethnographic materials.She showed how the insights of French structuralism could be combined with the detaileddocumentation of family histories and personal narratives in the study of Hindu kinship.In more recent work, she has brought the study of pain and suffering into the very centerof medical anthropology, has shown how major public events can be illuminated throughthe analysis of intimate testimonies and micro-narratives and has broken new ground inlinking the study of ethnic and domestic violence to fundamental problems in language,testimony and subjectivity. In general, she has infused the anthropology of India, andanthropology more generally, with a renewed sense of how to link small and large socialscales and of how to tie intimate experiences with public debates and crises. In a word, shehas moved the field to a new understanding of how to study the cultural processes by whichcivilizations become national societies. At the same time, she is one of the handful ofanthropologists to show how kinship-a fundamental concern of classical anthropology­lives on as a powerful force in the social forms of the contemporary world.CITATION STATEMENTVena Das' work has consistently shown how to combine the study of long-term culturallogics with immediate social events. In so doing, she has brought the anthropology ofIndia into the center of contemporary anthropological debates about violence, victimhood,suffering and health. Through her writings she has shown us how the study of large-scalesocial processes can be enriched by careful analyses of personal narratives of pain, justiceand familial struggle. She has done so in a manner that sets new standards for combiningscholarship and citizenship in social science.The candidate will be presented by Arjun Appadurai, the Samuel N Harper Professor, Department ofAnthropology and the College; Professor, Department of South Asian Languages and Civilizations.FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF SCIENCERAYMOND DAVIS, JR.Research Professor, Department of Physics and AstronomyUniversity of PennsylvaniaIn the latter half of the 19th century, a battle raged of the age of the solar system. Theopponents were biologists and geologists as represented by Charles Darwin and physi­cists represented by Lord Kelvin. The naturalists predicted an age greater than 300 millionyears while the physics of the time required the age to be less than 20 million years. Thedebate was resolved with the discovery of nuclear energy but a direct experimental demon­stration of nuclear burning in the sun seemed impossible. Raymond Davis thought other­wise. The process of nuclear burning in addition to heat produces neutrinos. Neutrinosemerge directly from the nuclear furnace in the solar core. While neutrinos interact veryweakly with ordinary matter, John Bahcall showed that in 100,000 gallons of cleaning fluida few of the solar neutrinos would be captured each week producing a radioactive argonatom. Raymond Davis developed the techniques to collect those few atoms, concentratethem in a Geiger counter, and detect their decay. Only a confident and daring scientistwould begin such an adventure. The nature of the solar furnace was confirmed andserendipitous discoveries concerning the nature of neutrinos were made as well.CITATION STATEMENTRaymond Davis, Jr.'s bold experiment to detect neutrinos from the sun has directly demon­strated the nature of the process that makes the sun shine. His quantitative measurementof the flux of solar neutrinos has led to profound discoveries of the properties of the elusiveneutrinos.The candidate will be presented by James W Cronin, University Professor Emeritus, Departments ofPhysics and Astronomy and Astrophysics, the Enrico Fermi Institute, and the College.CITATION STATEMENTFOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERSCHARLES J. FILLMOREProfessor Emeritus, Department of LinguisticsUniversity of California, BerkeleyIn nearly four decades of wide-ranging linguistic research, Profes�or Charles J. Fillmorehas fundamentally shaped the course of linguistic theory, especially in the areas of syntax,semantics, and the study of contextual factors known as pragmatics. Many of his proposals-such as cyclic rule application and semantic cases-are now so central to the practice oflinguistics that is almost impossible to imagine the field without them. Likewise, his inves­tigations in pragmatics have thoroughly established the complex and crucial role played bycontextual factors in the semantics of individual words, cultural frames, and grammaticalconstructions, with important consequences for psychology and other allied fields withincognitive science.All over the world, Professor Fillmore is not only respected for his contributions to linguisticsbut also beloved for his modesty, humor, and kindness. We are delighted to honor him today.Charles J. Fillmore's insights into meaning and context have fundamentally shaped linguistictheory and cognitive science. From his syntactic proposals in the 1960's regarding the trans­formational cycle and case grammar to his more recent work on frame semantics, deixis,and constructions, he has teased out astonishing facts in overlooked linguistic phenomena,demonstrated the complex and necessary connections between form, meaning, and context,and inspired new research programs III allied fields such as psychology, anthropology,philosophy and artificial intelligence.The candidate will be presented by Amy Dahlstrom, Associate Professor, Department of Linguistics andthe College.Charles Ives - A Contemplation of a Serious Matter orThe Unanswered Perennial Question (1906/1908)"The strings ... represent 'The Silence of the Druids­Who Know, See, and Hear Nothing.'The trumpet intones 'The Perennial Question of Existence.' ...The hunt for 'The Invisible Answer' [is] undertaken by the flutesand other human beings." - CHARLES rYESInauguration Festival OrchestraMATT LEE, TRUMPET SOLOBARBARA SCHUBERT, CONDUCTORTHE CONFERRING OF HONORARY DEGREES- Continued -FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF SCIENCEMARTIN F. GELLERTChief, Section ofMolecular Genetics, Laboratory of Molecular BiologyNational Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney DiseasesNational Institutes of HealthMartin Gellert is renowned for his contributions to our understanding of how cellsrearrange, manipulate and preserve their genomes. His passion for DNA enzymologybegan with the discovery and characterization of an enzyme that joins DNA ends, provid­ing crucial insights into how cells replicate and process their DNA. His seminal contribu­tions to the field of DNA recombination, and V(D)] immunoglobulin gene recombinationin particular, have profound implications for the evolution of the immune system, DNAmutations in cancer and the cell cycle. His achievements have been fundamental both tobasic science and the technological development of molecular genetics. Quiet, thoughtful,insightful and persistent, he represents the best that science can offer.CITATION STATEMENTMartin F. Gellert's bold forays into DNA enzymology over three decades have shown us howDNA can be broken and joined, twisted and rearranged, in the cellular choreography thatunderlies essential processes in phenomena as wide-ranging as the replication of genomesto the development of the human immune system. As an incisive thinker and a brilliantexperimentalist, his scientific results continue to excite and inspire us.The candidate will be presented by Lucia B. Rothman-Denes, Professor, Department ofMolecularGenetics and Cell Biology, the Committee on Genetics, and the College.Harvard UniversityFOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF SCIENCEMARC W. KIRSCHNERChairman and the Carl W Walter Professor, Department of Cell BiologyHarvard Medical SchoolMarc Kirschner has made landmark contributions to our understanding of thecell cycle, the cytoskeleton, and the role of protein degradation in the regulation ofcellular function. He pioneered the use of complex cell-free systems to elucidate funda­mentally important mechanisms in cell biology. He was the first to demonstrate that thetimer for the cell cycle is separable from nuclear events. Then, in seminal work, he estab­lished the sequence of biochemical events required for completing the cell cycle, establishedthe critical role of proteolysis in driving the cycle, and demonstrated that the exit from celldivision was as critical a check point as entry. He formulated the theory of microtubuledynamic instability to explain many aspects of microtubule function, including micro­tubular-dependent chromosomal movement. In addition, he has taken a leadership role inthe advocacy of basic science, both in the public domain and within the federal govern­ment. Professor Kirschner has established a phenomenal record for training the nextgeneration of cell biologists, such that we are proud to include him among our honorees atthis institution that prides itself as the "teacher of teachers.", CITATION STATEMENTMarc W Kirschner's inspired creativity has provided critical advances in our understandingof the cell cycle and structural dynamics in cells. He pioneered the use of complex cell-freesystems to elucidate fundamental aspects of cellular function. In addition, his leadership inthe advocacy of basic science and the exceptional group of virtuoso students he has trainedestablish him as one of today's most influential scientists.The candidate will be presented by Anthony P. Mahowald, Chairman and the Louis Block Professor,Department of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology; Professor, Committees on Developmental Biology,Cancer Biology, and Genetics, the Cancer Research Center, and the College.FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERSQIU XIGUIDistinguished Service Professor, Department of Chinese Language and LiteraturePeking UniversityQiU Xigui is the leading paleographer of China. Over the course of four decades ofunprecedented archaeological discovery in his homeland, he has led the effort todecipher all the various forms of early Chinese writing. From the formulaic prayersengraved in turtleshell of the Shang dynasty (c. 1200 Be) through the philosophical essayswritten on bamboo strips and on silk of a millennium later, he has consistently demon­strated how to read the archaic graphs and how to interpret the thoughts behind them. Hismagisterial Chinese Writing is the textbook for all who-wish to understand how this remark­able script developed.Professor Qiu has also contributed greatly to the ongoing reinterpretation of earlyChinese cultural history. He has never been averse to challenging received opinion whereverthe paleographic evidence has led him, and the range of topics on which he has published,from agriculture to music to law to medicine, is astonishing. Known for his uncompro­mising honesty, Qiu Xigui is a model of the classical scholar in China.CITATION STATEMENTQiu Xigui's decipherment of archaeologically recovered inscriptions and manuscripts has ledto a thorough reinterpretation of the early development of Chinese writing. From Shangoracle-bone inscriptions through the bamboo strip and silk manuscripts of the Qin andHan periods, he has shown us how to read texts that we have never seen before, and howand why we should re-read texts that we long thought we understood. A true and honestscholar in a time and place when it has not always been easy to be so, he has earned therespect of students of Chinese culture both at horne and abroad.The candidate will be presented by Edward L. Shaughnessy, the Lorraine J and Herrlee G. CreelProfessor in Early Chinese Studies, Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations.CLAUDE STEELEFOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF SCIENCEProfessor, Department of PsychologyStanford UniversityThrough dazzling theoretical analyses and eloquent experimental work, Claude Steelehas revolutionized the way social scientists think about prejudice and stereotypes. Thehuman mind organizes knowledge about the world and its inhabitants in terms of the selfSelf-evaluation and coping with self-image threat are, therefore, two fundamental opera­tions performed continuously by the human mind. Professor Steele's theories of interest inthese processes led to a general theory of self-affirmation, in which he articulated an under­lying and surprisingly powerful motivation by individuals to think and act in ways thatmake it possible for them to view themselves as rational, honest, and worthwhile beings.Professor Steele then expanded this theory to address how such groups as African Americansin all academic domains and women in quantitative domains can influence intellectualperformance and academic identities. Dissatisfied with knowledge for knowledge's sake,Professor Steele has also developed intervention programs to ameliorate the effects of stereo­types in our schools.In addition to his extraordinary research accomplishments, Professor Steele's record ofundergraduate teaching and graduate student mentoring is exceptional, and he has earneda reputation for being both a generous colleague and an extraordinary visionary. AlthoughProfessor Steele was never a student at the University of Chicago, his mother was a studenthere, his Iather-in-law served on the Board of the Divinity School, and Professor Steeleserves on the External Advisory Committee to the University of Chicago's Social Psycho­logy Program. In his intelligence, intensity, breadth, and eloquence, Professor Steele embodiesthe life of the mind.CITATION STATEMENTClaude Steele's theoretical analyses and experimental work have revolutionized the way socialscientists think about prejudice and stereotypes. His expansion of this work to address howgroup stereotypes can impair performance has underscored the importance of subtle socialfactors in intellectual performance and academic identities. This brilliant research exemplifiesthe very best of problem-based theoretical work.The candidate will be presented by John T. Cacioppo, the Tiffany and Margaret Blake DistinguishedService Professor, Department of Psychology, and the College.FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF SCIENCEALAN WALKERDistinguished Professor, Departments ofAnthropology and BiologyPennsylvania State UniversityFor more than three decades, Alan Walker has been a flagship contributor to paleobio­logical research. He is unrivalled for the discovery, reassembly and interpretationof stunning specimens, which are of major theoretical import to modeling anthropoidphylogeny. His innovative research is broadly interdisciplinary, spanning paleontology,geology, taphonomy, primatology, functional morphology, nutritional science and oth�rfields that are encompassed by evolutionary biology. The products of his studies in Kenyahave been of immense popular and scholarly interest internationally.Notable among Professor Walker's many contributions to hominid evolutionarybiology are the meticulous excavation, restoration and award-winning monographing of a ,1.5 million-year-old, nearly complete subadult skeleton (KNM-WT 15000), dubbed the"Turkana Boy," from Nariokotome, west of Lake Turkana, Kenya; the recovery, assemblyand analysis of the 2.5 million-year-old "Black Skull" (KNM-WT 17000), which forcedmajor revisions of hominid phylogenic models; and, the interpretation of specimens fromeast of Lake Turkana, which confirmed that during the Pliocene and Early Pleistocene therewere a variety of hominid species, some of which were sympatric. Thereafter, he continuedto add branches to the bush, the most recent addition being the 4 million-year-old speciesAustralopithecus anamensis.Professor Walker has also contributed new species-Afropithecus, Turkanapithecus,Simiolus-to the large pantheon of Miocene anthropoid primates, again via discoveries andanalyses of specimens from west of Lake Turkana. His work in the vicinity of Lake Victoria,Kenya, yielded a wealth of specimens and contextual information that allows well-foundedfunctional and ecological interpretations of Miocene apes from that region.One can say without hyperbole that we would be vastly more ignorant of our ancientheritage were it not for the labors and ingenuity of Professor Alan Walker.CITATION STATEMENTAlan Walker's discoveries have brightly illuminated the evolution of humankind and othermajor primate lineages and his open-minded multidisciplinary approach to classic andnewer evolutionary puzzles has transformed the field of paleoanthropology. He is an exem­plary model for students whom he mentors and the many junior and senior colleagues withwhom he works so generously. His emphasis on functional and paleoenvironmentalinterpretations has imbued key fossil primates and the field of primate paleobiology itselfwith new vitality and scientific validity.The candidate will be presented by Russell H Tuttle, Professor, Department ofAnthropology, theCommittee on Evolutionary Biology, the Morris Fishbein Center, and the College.WELCOME ON BEHALF OF STUDENTS AND ALUMNIDEEPAK SEVAK '02President, Student GovernmentKATHARINE L.

Since many of the instructors came from religious orders and taught inunheated and drafty buildings, they adapted their religious robes for use as the university attire.The long robe with an attached cape or hood became the standard and variation inthe costume indicated the rank of the person wearing it. They were worn every day and servedto distinguish scholars and their students from other citizens. The apparel worn by universityfaculty that is seen in old engravings is remarkably similar to that which is worn today. Thegown is a symbol of the democracy of scholarship since it covers any clothing indicatingother rank or status. While everyday fashions have changed, universities retained the earlierstyle for formal attire to be worn by students, graduates, faculty and university officials onceremonial occasions.European universities each developed their own styles and colors of academic dress,and some of the differences seen in the academic procession today illustrate that variety. In theUnited States, however, an intercollegiate congress in 1895 agreed on a single standard for aca­demic dress in this country that has been adopted by most American colleges and universities.Individuals with bachelor's degrees wear a black gown, which has long pointed sleeves. Thegown of master's degree holders is also black, with sleeves that are squared at the end. Doctor'sgowns are fuller with velvet facings down the front and three bars on the generous bell-shapedsleeves. While the usual color is black, within the past half-century some American universitieshave adopted gowns of a color appropriate for each school; at the University of Chicago ourdoctoral gown is maroon.The cape of the earliest academic costumes has become a hood, worn, by individualswith doctoral degrees, over the shoulders and hanging behind. The lining of the hood is foldedout and its colors indicate the school from which the wearer obtained his or her degree. Thevelvet border designates the degree area of study (white for arts, yellow for science, blue for phi­losophy, green for medicine, purple for law, and red for divinity). University of Chicago hon­orary degree recipients receive a hood with a white facing (Doctor of Humane Letters), blue(Doctor of Laws) or yellow (Doctor of Science).The cap has its own traditions. The first right of a freed Roman slave was the privilegeof wearing a cap, so the academic cap is the sign of the freedom of scholarship. Although the flatsquare cap or mortarboard is most usual, Chicago's doctoral cap is an octagonal tam of velvet.THE UNIVERSITY of CHICAGOTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WAS FOUNDED IN 1892 by John D.Rockefeller, biblical scholar William Rainey Harper, and Chicago-area Baptists. TheUniversity's Articles of Incorporation commit the institution to excellence in bothundergraduate and graduate education, an explicit policy of co-education, and an atmosphereof non-sectarianism.Harper agreed to become the first president of the University on the condition that hebe allowed to establish a university that would be unlike any other. He conceived of a universitythat would emphasize the creation of new knowledge and "make the work of investigationprimary." To this end, the University has always been dedicated to excellence in research andhas sought the most distinguished scholars for its faculty.Over the years, the University and its faculty have had a major impact on Americanhigher education. Faculty scholarship has shaped several essential disciplines and establishedimportant and distinctive "Chicago schools" in such disparate fields as economics, evolutionarybiology, sociology, literary criticism, anthropology, and law and economics. Over seventy Nobellaureates have been members of the faculty, researchers, or students at the University. Program­matic innovations originating at the University include the invention of the four-quarter system,the establishment of a coherent program of general education for undergraduates, the initiationof a full-time medical school teaching faculty, and the development of extension courses andprograms in the liberal arts for adults.The University includes the undergraduate College, the William B. and Catherine V.Graham School of General Studies, four graduate divisions (Biological Sciences, Humanities,Physical Sciences, and Social Sciences), six graduate professional schools (Graduate School ofBusiness, Divinity School, Law School, Pritzker School of Medicine, Irving B. Harris GraduateSchool 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 andan enrollment 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's Loop.The University's English Collegiate Gothic buildings, built of gray Indiana limestone,were designed to frame shady, green quadrangles. Contemporary campus buildings have beendesigned in keeping with the original Gothic theme while drawing from the tradition of greatmodern architecture for which the city of Chicago is famous. Eero Saarinen and LudwigMies van der Rohe designed striking buildings for the Law School and the School of SocialService Administration. The National Trust for Historic Preservation praised the University forits insistence on architectural continuity over "a century of social and academic change."On July 1, 2000, Don Michael Randel took office as the University's twelfth President.
