FABERUniversity Professor and Chair, Department ofAstronomy & AstrophysicsUniversity of California, Santa CruzSandra M. Faber is the leading investigator in the field of galaxy formation andevolution. By acquiring important new observations, and with brilliant analysisof the data, she discovered key relationships between the shapes of galaxies and theproperties of their stars.She and her colleagues used the Hubble Space Telescope to study the central regionsof galaxies and discovered that the mass of the central black hole is well correlated withthat of the surrounding galaxy. This result suggests a deeper relationship than hadbeen expected between structures on such vastly different scales.Thanks to her leadership in design and construction of the DElMOS spectrograph,one of the most powerful instruments of the Keck 10-meter Telescopes, she and hercolleagues have obtained detailed information about galaxies that are so remote thatthe light we see from them has been traveling for many billions of years.CITATION TEXTSandra M. Faber's achievements have motivated a wide range of inquiry on the natureof dark matter in the Universe, the formation of galaxies with their populations ofstars, and the evolution of galaxies observed at early cosmic epochs. Her work hasprofoundly shaped the modern view of galaxy formation and has inspired a generationof astronomers.The candidate will be presented by Richard G. Kron, Professor, Department of Astronomy &Astrophysics, and the College.MICHAEL FRIEDFOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERSJames R. Herbert Boone Professor of Humanities and Art HistoryThe Johns Hopkins UniversityLike a true poet or muse, Michael Fried has brought new worlds into being. Hehas given us a way of seeing art that is profoundly visual, philosophically rich andmorally consequential. The powerful interpretative framework that he has developedthroughout his career addresses how art positions the beholder by its own absorptiveor theatrical structures. Few art historians have created such a bold, original, coherentand utterly focused body of work. From his early criticism of modernist art, his prize­winning studies of eighteenth-century French painting and criticism, of Maner'sModernism and painting in the 1860s, and of Eakins and Crane, to Courbet, Menzel,and his recent engagements with art in the 1600s through contemporary photography,Professor Fried has brilliantly explored how art gives access to the history of humansensibility. His work combines vast historical erudition with the technical language ofart criticism without limiting itself to either.Michael Fried's work is known and admired across an impressive range of disciplines, inart history, but also in literature, cinema, photography, philosophy and contemporary artcriticism. He is a talented poet, a wonderful interlocutor, and a much appreciated teacher.CITATION TEXTBrilliant critic and art historian, Michael Fried's unequaled ability to explain theimportance of painting in late modernity has revealed its structuring of beholding,its historical sensibilities, and its human meaning, and has transformed the termsthrough which art is now understood across the disciplines.The candidate will be presented by Martha Ward, Chairman, Department of Art History; andAssociate Professor, Departments ofArt History and Visual Arts, and the College.FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF SCIENCEALEX LUBOTZKYProfessor ofMathematicsThe Hebrew University ofJerusalemAlex Lubotzky is one of the world's leading mathematicians in the field ofdiscrete groups and their applications in diverse directions: His work connectsnumber theory and geometry to combinatorics and computer science. Its applicationsrange from the symmetry of spaces modeled on non-Euclidean geometries to the designof computer chips and telephone networks. Within group theory, he is known for hisoutstanding work on profinite groups, that is, the class of groups that can be known viatheir finite images. These include his deep theories of subgroup growth, the "Lubotzkyalternative," and his criterion for linearity, which is a criterion for determining whenan abstract defined group can be understood concretely via matrices. Further, his workboth exploits probabilistic ideas in new realms and illuminates the interaction of rigidarithmetic objects and the random ones.Professor Lubotzky plays with deep ideas. Every black box must be tinkered with; nohypothesis is too sacred to be examined. Both general theories and peculiar examples arehis playground. Individually his papers are gems, and collectively they present a deep andprolonged investigation of some of the most basic mathematical objects. These ideas, alwayscarefully and beautifully presented, continually open new directions for us.CITATION TEXTAlex Lubotzky's creative research connects disparate areas of mathematics to oneanother and relates the most abstract of mathematics with the concrete and the applied.His brilliant explorations of discrete group theory's connections to many other fieldshave made a profound impact on modern mathematics.The candidate will be presented by Shmuel Weinberger, Professor, Department ofMathematics, andthe College.HAZEL ROSE MARKUSFOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF SCIENCEDavis Brack Professor in Behavioral SciencesStanford UniversityHazel Rose Markus has played a major role in the development of two fieldswithin social psychology while working creatively within a rigorous experimentalframework. Her early work on the self and self schema produced a group of papersthat are among the most widely cited of any social psychologist and have altered thediscipline of social psychology forever as she demonstrated that varying constructionsof the self have an impact on perception and cognition.She also stands at the center of the remarkable revival of cultural psychology as amajor disciplinary field. Unlike others, for whom culture is the sum of a few variablesplugged into an equation, Professor Markus has also been able to bring a subtle andhighly nuanced understanding to working with cultural differences. Her work in thisarea gave legitimacy to highly innovative work among social psychologists.CITATION TEXTHazel Rose Markus has brought new understanding of the self to the field of socialpsychology and to the role the self plays in cognition and perception. She hassuccessfully challenged the view that there is one uniform human psychology, makingthe case that multiple psychologies may vary not only across individuals but acrosspopulations and groups.The candidate will be presented by Richard P. Taub, Chairman and Professor, Department ofComparative Human Development; Professor, Department of Sociology and the Committee onSouth Asian Studies} and Paul Klapper Professor in the College.FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERSHARM PINKSTERProfessor of LatinUniversity ofAmsterdamHarm Pinkster is the world's leading authority on Latin linguistics. His 1971dissertation, On Latin Adverbs, was the first sustained demonstration of thepromise of a new approach to Latin syntax. In an era of new theoretical frameworksin general linguistic theory sprouting everywhere, Professor Pinkster showed a keenawareness of the advantages and drawbacks of the most important ones and camedown on the side of functionalism, finding inspiration in contemporary linguisticsand in demanding a more principled accounting for the data.The Latin Syntax, which he is now writing, builds upon knowledge going back toancient times and will present the culmination of work done by him and his colleaguesin the current generation. It will be the reference grammar for this century if notbeyond. His accomplishments, commitment to the field, and general humanity areexamples to all who know him.CITATION TEXTHarm Pinkster has made it his life's work to further our knowledge of the Latinlanguage and to professionalize the discipline. His ground breaking work in Latinlinguistics has transformed the field. His sound knowledge of the language, combinedwith a keen analytical mind, make him a true scientist and humanist in one.The candidate will be presented by Helma Dik, Associate Professor, Department of Classics, andthe College. _FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF SCIENCEALLAN C. SPRADLINGInvestigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Director, Department of EmbryologyCarnegie Institution of WashingtonAllan C. Spradling is a distinguished biologist who has made major contributions toour basic knowledge of animal development. He discovered that the genes forchorion proteins were amplified as a mechanism to produce large quantities of proteinsrapidly. With Gerald Rubin, he developed a method to modify the Drosophila genomein a defined manner by manipulating a naturally occurring transposable element. Thismethod has been central to our current advances in understanding the genetic controlof development in Drosophila and has become the model for similar work in otherorganisms.More recently, Allan Spradling has advanced our understanding of the cuesresponsible for maintaining stem cells and the critical role played by supporting cellsin stem cell function. He has been a stellar member of the scientific community and arole model for integrity and generosity in the conduct of science. Since his days as anoutstanding student in physics in our College, he has become that rare scientist whointuitively grasps the commonality of biological systems and their complexity, and hecontinues to nurture other young scientists to do the same.: I.lCITATION TEXTThe candidate will be presented by Anthony P. Mahowald, Louis Block Professor Emeritus,Department of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology; and Professor Emeritus, Committees onDevelopmental Biology, Cancer Biology, and Genetics.Allan C. Spradling has provided a series ofinnovative discoveries that have influenced theentire field of developmental biology. In a broad range offields, his generosity, leadership,and enthusiasm continue to give impetus to advances in developmental biology.FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF SCIENCEKAREN B. STRIERHilldale Professor ofAnthropology, Department ofAnthropologyUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison"'V" aren B. Strier is a quintessential model of the scholarly creative pioneering researchl�cientist, mentor, classroom instructor, public lecturer, academic administrator,and prolific lucid constructively critical author. Her quarter century of researchon monkeys in the endangered Atlantic forest of Brazil not only provided insightsinto the complexity of constructing scenarios of human and other primate socialbehavioral evolution and socioecological models but also served as a major foundationfor conservation science and the development of a large corps of professional Brazilianscientists who will lead Neotropical primatology, forest ecology, evolutionaryanthropology, and conservation for many future generations.CITATION TEXTKaren B. Strier's carefully reasoned, empirically based deconstruction of the "mythof the typical primate" and caveats against heavy reliance on genetic propinquityof chimpanzees and humans versus the effects of ecological factors in modelingthe evolution of the human condition has challenged the evolutionary biologicalcommunity to research of greater refinement in methodology, fuller and more diversedata sets, and more critical thinking about problems of human behavioral evolution.The candidate will be presented by Russell H. Tuttle, Professor, Department of Anthropology, theCommittee on Evolutionary Biology, the Morris Fishbein Center for the History of Science andMedicine, and the College.Johannes Brahms: Academic Festival Overture, Op. 80 (adapted)Vivat academia,Vivant professores!Vivat academia,Vivant professores!Vivat membrum quodlibet,Vivant membra quaelibet.Semper sint in flore,Semper sint in flore!

Until 1903 the Marshal was an undergraduateupperclassman, assisted by other undergraduate upperclassmen and by members ofthe 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 of Chicagowear maroon doctor's robes with alternating black velvet and gold metallic bars onthe sleeves. Prior to receiving their bachelor's degrees, Student Marshals wear maroonbachelor's robes with maroon mortarboards. When 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.MARSHAL Lorna Puttkammer StrausVICE-MARSHAL David LaRue CrabbASSISTANT MARSHALSRichard H.

Since many of the instructors came from religious orders andtaught in unheated and drafty buildings, they adapted their religious robes for use asthe university attire.The long robe with an attached cape or hood became the standard andvariation in the costume indicated the rank of the person wearing it. They were wornevery day and served to distinguish scholars and their students from other citizens. Theapparel worn by university faculty that is seen in old engravings is remarkably similarto that which is worn today. The gown is a symbol of the democracy of scholarshipsince it covers any clothing indicating other rank or status. While everyday fashionshave changed, universities retained the earlier style for formal attire to be worn bystudents, graduates, faculty and university officials on ceremonial occasions.European universities each developed their own styles and colors of academicdress, and some of the differences seen in the academic procession today illustrate thatvariety. In the United States, however, an intercollegiate congress in 1895 agreed ona single standard for academic dress in this country that has been adopted by mostAmerican colleges and universities. Individuals with bachelor's degrees wear a blackgown, which has long pointed sleeves. The gown of master's degree holders is alsoblack, with sleeves that are squared at the end. Doctor's gowns are fuller with velvetfacings down the front and three bars on the generous bell-shaped sleeves. While theusual color is black, within the past half-century some American universities haveadopted gowns of a color appropriate for each school; at the University of Chicago ourdoctoral gown is maroon. At today's ceremony, delegates and faculty will wear a varietyof academic attire representing the traditions of many schools and learned societies.The cape of the earliest academic costumes has become a hood, worn, byindividuals with doctoral degrees, over the shoulders and hanging behind. The liningof the hood is folded out and its colors indicate the school from which the wearerobtained his or her degree. The velvet border designates the degree area of study (whitefor arts, yellow for science, blue for philosophy, green for medicine, purple for law, andred for divinity). University of Chicago honorary degree recipients receive a hood withwhite facing (Doctor of Humane Letters), blue (Doctor of Laws) or yellow (Doctorof Science).The cap has its own traditions. The first right of a freed Roman slave wasthe privilege of wearing a cap, so the academic cap is the sign of the freedom ofscholarship. Although the flat square or mortarboard is most usual, Chicago's doctoralcap is an octagonal tam of velvet.THE UNIVERSITY ojCHICAGOThe University of Chicago was founded in 1890 by John D. Rockefeller,biblical scholar William Rainey Harper, and Chicago-area Baptists. TheUniversity's Articles of Incorporation commit the institution to excellence inboth undergraduate and graduate education, an explicit policy of co-education, andan atmosphere of non-sectarianism.Harper agreed to become the first president of the University on thecondition that 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 always beendedicated to excellence in research and has sought the most distinguished scholars forits faculty.Over the years, the University and its faculty have had a major impact onAmerican higher education. Faculty scholarship has shaped several essential disciplinesand established important and distinctive "Chicago schools" in such disparate fields aseconomics, evolutionary biology, sociology, literary criticism, anthropology, and lawand economics. More than 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 the undergraduate College, the William B. andCatherine V. Graham School of General Studies, four graduate divisions (BiologicalSciences, Humanities, Physical Sciences, and Social Sciences), six graduate professionalschools (Graduate School of Business, Divinity School, Law School, Pritzker Schoolof Medicine, Irving B. Harris Graduate School of Public Policy Studies, and Schoolof Social Service Administration), and a diverse collection of academic support unitsand resources including libraries, research institutes, clinics, museums, theaters and auniversity press. The University has a faculty of more than 1,200 and an enrollment ofover 14,500 students. The 200 acre campus is located along the Midway Plaisance inHyde Park, a residential community on Lake Michigan south of 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 whiledrawing from the tradition of great modern architecture for which the city of Chicagois famous. 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 Perservation praised the University for its insistence on architecturalcontinuity over "a century of social and academic change."On July 1, 2006, Robert J. Zimmer became the University's thirteenth president.
