Two Thousand and ThreeROCKEFELLER MEMORIAL CHAPELTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOThe University of Chicago was founded in 1890 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. 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.ORDER Of EXERCnSESFor the Conferring of DegreesThree 0) clockDON MICHAEL RANDEL, President of the University, PresidingTHE CONVOCATION PROCESSIONPROCESSIONAL - Rigaudon(The Congregation remains standing until after the prayer.)

BODENDean of Rockefeller Memorial ChapelTHE RECESSIONALToccata jroza Symphony No.5 Charles-Marie Widor(The Congregation remains standing through the Alma Mater, the Benediction, and the Recessional)IACADEMIC DRESSThe robes worn by participants in academic ceremonies originated when European uni­versities were being formed in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Since many of theinstructors came from religious orders and taught in unheated 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 andserved to distinguish scholars and their students from other citizens. The apparel wornby university faculty that is seen in old engravings is remarkably similar to that whichis worn today. The gown is a symbol of the democracy of scholarship since it covers anyclothing indicating other rank or status. While everyday fashions have changed, uni­versities retained the earlier style for formal attire to be worn by students, graduates,faculty and university officials on ceremonial 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 the United States, however, an intercollegiate congress in 1895 agreed on a singlestandard for 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 of master's degree holders is also black, with sleevesthat are squared at the end. Doctor's gowns are fuller with velvet facings down the frontand 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 of a colorappropriate for each school; at the University of Chicago our doctoral gown is maroon.The cape of the earliest academic costumes has become a hood, worn, by individu­als with doctoral degrees, over the shoulders and hanging behind. The lining of the hoodis folded out and its colors indicate the school from which the wearer obtained his or herdegree. The velvet border designates the degree area of study (white for arts, yellow forscience, 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), purple (Doctor of Laws) or yellow (Doctor of Science).The cap has its own traditions. The first right of a freed Roman slave was the priv­ilege of wearing a cap, so the academic cap is the sign of the freedom of scholarship.Although the flat square cap or mortarboard is most usual, Chicago's doctoral cap is anoctagonal tam of velvet.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 undergraduate upperclassmen and by members of the faculty.Since 1903 the Marshal has been a member of the faculty, assisted by other membersof the faculty and by undergraduate upperclassmen.The Marshal, Vice-Marshal, and Assistant Marshals of the University of Chicagowear maroon doctor's robes with alternating black velvet and gold metallic bars on thesleeves. Prior to receiving their bachelor's degrees, Student Marshals wear maroonbachelor's robes with maroon mortarboards. After receiving their degrees, they wearblack mortarboards.Student Marshals are appointed by the President of the University in recognitionof their excellent scholarship and leadership. Appointment as a Student Marshal is thehighest honor conferred by the University upon undergraduate students.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MOTET CHOIRRAND!

Two Thousand and ThreeROCKEFELLER MEMORIAL CHAPELTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOThe University of Chicago was founded in 1890 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.OlRDlElR Of lEXlElRCC]§lE§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.)

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 DRESSThe robes worn by participants in academic ceremonies originated when European uni­versities were being formed in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Since many of theinstructors came from religious orders and taught in unheated 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 andserved to distinguish scholars and their students from other citizens. The apparel wornby university faculty that is seen in old engravings is remarkably similar to that whichis worn today. The gown is a symbol of the democracy of scholarship since it covers anyclothing indicating other rank or status. While everyday fashions have changed, uni­versities retained the earlier style for formal attire to be worn by students, graduates,faculty and university officials on ceremonial 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 the United States, however, an intercollegiate congress in 1895 agreed on a singlestandard for 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 of master's degree holders is also black, with sleevesthat are squared at the end. Doctor's gowns are fuller with velvet facings down the frontand 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 of a colorappropriate for each school; at the University of Chicago our doctoral gown is maroon.The cape of the earliest academic costumes has become a hood, worn, by individu­als with doctoral degrees, over the shoulders and hanging behind. The lining of the hoodis folded out and its colors indicate the school from which the wearer obtained his or herdegree. The velvet border designates the degree area of study (white for arts, yellow forscience, 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), purple (Doctor of Laws) or yellow (Doctor of Science).The cap has its own traditions. The first right of a freed Roman slave was the priv­ilege of wearing a cap, so the academic cap is the sign of the freedom of scholarship.Although the flat square cap or mortarboard is most usual, Chicago's doctoral cap is anoctagonal tam of velvet.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 undergraduate upperclassmen and by members of the faculty.Since 1903 the Marshal has been a member of the faculty, assisted by other membersof the faculty and by undergraduate upperclassmen.The Marshal, Vice-Marshal, and Assistant Marshals of the University of Chicagowear maroon doctor's robes with alternating black velvet and gold metallic bars on thesleeves. Prior to receiving their bachelor's degrees, Student Marshals wear maroonbachelor's robes with maroon mortarboards. After receiving their degrees, they wearblack mortarboards.Student Marshals are appointed by the President of the University in recognitionof their excellent scholarship and leadership. Appointment as a Student Marshal is thehighest honor conferred by the University upon undergraduate students.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MOTET CHOIRRAND!
