Rockefeller, bibli­cal scholar 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 ofnon-sectarianism.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. Heconceived 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 scholarsfor 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. More than eighty Nobel laureates have been members ofthe faculty, 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,the initiation 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. and CatherineV. Graham School of General Studies, four graduate divisions (Biological Sciences,Humanities, Physical Sciences, and Social Sciences), six graduate professionalschools (Divinity School, Law School, Pritzker School of Medicine, Irving B. HarrisGraduate School of Public Policy Studies, School of Social Service Administration,and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business), and a diverse collectionof academic support units and resources including libraries, research institutes, clin­ics, museums, theaters and a university press. The University has a faculty of morethan 1,200 and an enrollment of over 12,000 students. The 200 acre campus islocated along the Midway Plaisance in Hyde Park, a residential community on LakeMichigan 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 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, 2006, Robert]. Zimmer became the University's thirteenthpresident.OJRDJEJR Of JEXJEJRCllSJESFor the Conferring of DegreesThree 0 'Clock, Friday, August Twenty-eighthROBERT J.

BAUMANNMarshal of the UniversityTHE RECESSIONAL(Please Stand)Toccata from Symphony No.5 Charles-Marie Widor (1844-1937)ACADEMIC DRESSThe robes worn by participants in academic ceremonies originated when Europeanuniversities were being formed in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Since many ofthe instructors 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 coversany clothing 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, withsleeves that are squared at the end. Doctor's gowns are fuller with velvet facings downthe front and three bars on the generous bell-shaped sleeves. While the usual color isblack, within the past half century some American universities have adopted gowns ofa color appropriate for each school; at the University of Chicago our doctoral gown ismaroon.The cape of the earliest academic costumes has become a hood, worn, by individualswith doctoral degrees, over the shoulders and hanging behind. The lining of the hood isfolded 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 theprivilege 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 isan octagonal 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. When graduating, they wear blackmortarboards.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, ConductorMILLAR BRASS ENSEMBLEMATT LEE, DirectorWYLIE CRAWFORD, University CarillonneurTHOMAS WEISFLOG, Rockefeller Chapel OrganistMARSHALCATHERINE C.
