Madara, M.D., one of the nation's foremost academic pathologists,has published more than 200 papers and chapters, led NIH study sections, andserved in editorial capacities of major biomedical journals. He is currently President ofthe American Board of Pathology. Dr. Madara has made important contributions tounderstanding the biology of the cells that line the digestive tract. He has explored andclarified how these cells permit the absorption of nutrients while serving as a barrierto intestinal bacteria, and how these cells help regulate the immune response tonormal and disease-causing bacteria. This research has been crucial to understandinginfectious diseases that affect the intestine, to treating inflammatory disorders such asulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease and to improving drug delivery.Before his appointment at the University of Chicago in 2002, he served as thechairman of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at EmoryUniversity.

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, DirectorTHOMAS WEISFLOG, Rockefeller Chapel OrganistMARSHALLORNAPUTTKAMMrnRSTRAUSVICE-MARSHALDAVID LARUE CRABBASSISTANT MARSHALSROBERT L.
