Daniel H. Graves (h. 1946)My life flows on in endless songAbove earth's lamentations.I hear the real, though far-off hymnThat hails a new creation.Through all the tumult and the strife,While to that rock I'm clinging.It sounds an echo in my soul.How can I keep from singing?When though the tempest 'round me roars,I know the truth, it liveth.What though the darkness 'round me close,Songs in the night it giveth.No storm can shake my inmost calmWhile to that rock I'm clinging.Since love is lord of heav'n and earth,How can I keep from singing?When tyrants tremble, sick with fear,And hear their death knell ringing;When friends rejoice both far and near,How can I keep from singing?In prison cell and dungeon vile,Our thoughts to them are winging.When friends by shame are undefiled,How can I keep from singing?When love is lord of heav'n and earth,How can I keep from singing?Awarded General Honors with the Bachelor's Degree:THE AWARD OF HONORSPeng David AnMaya Kobayashi BarronKerem Mehmet BaykalAnat Sara BenzviDidi Ariffin Bin AhmadEmily Elisabeth BriceMelissa Lynn BrownRonald Tristan DeWittMinji HaJulia Hyland BrunoEvan Philip JenkinsMatthew Aron Kardon Jung Woo KohCassandra Jean KramerShengrong LauChi Eun LeeMoon Hee LeeHarold Alan Liss Michelle Ann SpiegelJoshua Michael Steinman�1'I.j8:n!t �8:m:!t St'tllei!tHtl'l'l:Sonja Alsemgeest SwansonFiona Li-Xian TanKwokfung TangJohn Keith Von SeggernSebastian WaismanTae-Ho WhangBen Zion '"IAdrian MaSarah Maryam MoosviCristina D.

BODENDean of Rockefeller Memorial ChapelTHE RECESSIONAL(The Congregation remains standing through the Alma Mater, the Closing Words, 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 CHOIRJAMES KALLEMBACH, DirectorMILLAR BRASS ENSEMBLEMATT LEE, DirectorWYLIE CRAWFORD, University CarillonneurTHOMAS WEISFLOG, Rockefeller Chapel OrganistMARSHALLORNA PUTTKAMNrnR STRAUSVICE-MARSHALDA VID LARUE CRABBHERMAN L.
