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. Over seventy 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 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, 2000, Don Michael Randel became the University's twelfthPresident.OlRDElR Of EXElRCI§E§For the Conferring of DegreesThree o'clockDON MICHAEL RANDEL, President of the University, PresidingTHE CONVOCATION PROCESSIONPROCESSIONAL - Rigaudon(The Congregation remains standing until after the prayer.)

Since many oj theinstructors came Jrom religious orders and taught in unheated and drafty buildings,they adapted their religious robes Jor use as the university attire.The long robe with an attached cape or hood became the standard and variation inthe costume indicated the rank oj the person wearing it. They were worn every day andserved to distinguish scholars and their students Jrom other citizens. The apparel wornby university Jaculty that is seen in old engravings is remarkably similar to that whichis worn today. The gown is a symbol oj the democracy of scholarship since it covers anyclothing indicating other rank or status. While everyday Jashions have changed, uni­versities retained the earlier style Jor Jormal attire to be worn by students, graduates,Jaculty and university officials on ceremonial occasions.European universities each developed their own styles and colors oj academic dress,and some oj the differences seen in the academic procession today illustrate that vari­ety. In the United States, however, an intercollegiate congress in 1895 agreed on a sin­gle standard Jor academic dress in this country that has been adopted by most Americancolleges and universities. Individuals with bachelor's degrees wear a black gown, whichhas long pointed sleeves. The gown oj master's degree holders is also black, with sleevesthat are squared at the end. Doctor's gowns are Juller with velvet Jacings down theJront and three bars on the generous bell-shaped sleeves .. While the usual color is black,within the past half century some American universities have adopted gowns oj a colorappropriate Jor each school; at the University of Chicago our doctoral gown is maroon.The cape oj the earliest academic costumes has become a hood, worn, by individu­als with doctoral degrees, over the shoulders and hanging behind. The lining oj thehood is Jolded out and its colors indicate the school Jrom which the wearer obtained hisor her degree. The velvet border designates the degree area oj study (white Jor arts, yel­low Jor science, blue Jor philosophy, green Jor medicine, purple Jor law, and red Jordivinity). University oJChicago honorary degree recipients receive a hood with a whiteJacing (Doctor oj Humane Letters), blue (Doctor of Laws) or yellow (Doctor ojScience).The cap has its own traditions. The first right of a Jreed Roman slave was the priv­ilege oj wearing a cap, so the academic cap is the sign oj the Jreedom oj scholarship.Although the flat square cap or mortarboard is most usual, Chicago's doctoral cap isan octagonal tam oj velvet.THE MARSHAL AND THE STUDENT MARSHALSThe office oj 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 Jaculty.Since 1903 the Marshal has been a member oj the Jaculty, assisted by other membersof the Jaculty and by undergraduate upperclassmen.The Marshal, Vice-Marshal, and Assistant Marshals oj the University ojChicago 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, theywear black mortarboards.Student Marshals are appointed by the President oj the University in recognitionoj their excellent scholarship and leadership. Appointment as a Student Marshal is thehighest honor conJerred by the University upon undergraduate students.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MOTET CHOIRMILLAR BRASS ENSEMBLERAND!
