ZIMMERPresident of the UniversityTHE CONVOCATION ADDRESS"STRANGENESS AS SUBSTANCE"byMARTHA FELDMANMabel Greene Myers Professor, Department ofMusic, and the CollegeChair, Department ofMusicMartha Feldman is a cultural historian of Europeanvernacular musics in early modern and modernEurope, with a concentration on Italy. Among otherprojects, she has explored the senses and sensibilitiesof listeners, the interplay of myth, festivity, andkingship in the realms of opera, cinema and newmedia, and the figure of the musical artist, alwayswith an eye toward social and political phenomenaand artistic production. Her first monographwas City Culture and the Madrigal at Venice(University of California Press, 1995). Winner ofthe Bainton Prize of the Sixteenth-Century Societyand Conference and the Centre for ReformationStudies, it dealt with polyphonic music as part ofthe civic culture of Renaissance Venice. Feldman'sRenaissance interests have extended to the oraltraditions of Renaissance courtesans, the results ofwhich culminated in The Courtesan's Arts: Cross­Cultural Perspectives (co-edited, Oxford, 2006).Done in conjunction with graduate students, itwon the 2007 Ruth A. Solie Award of the AmericanMusicological Society. In 2007, she published Operaand Sovereignty: Transforming Myths in Eighteenth­Century Italy, a comprehensive examination of 18th­century opera seria as a manifestation and refractionof changing notions of sovereignty and festivity overthe course of the eighteenth century, which won the2010 Gordon J. Laing Award of the University ofChicago Press for the faculty book "published in theprevious three years that brings the Press the greatestdistinction."Currently Feldman is completing a book basedon her Bloch Lectures (Berkeley, Autumn 2007)on castrato singers as indices of European culturalchange between the mid-sixteenth and earlytwentieth centuries. Entitled The Castrato in Nature (forthcoming from University of California Press),the book investigates different relationships ofcastrati to nature, non-nature, and innate kinds.She is also working on a monograph on the lastcastrato in the history of institutional, social, andsubjective transformations in twentieth-century Italy.Feldman's work has been funded by the GladysKrieble Delmas Foundation for Research in Venice,the American Association of University Women,the National Endowment for the Humanities,the American Council of Learned Societies, theAmerican Philosophical Society, the AmericanMusicological Society, the University of Chicago,the Getty Research Institute, and the John SimonGuggenheim Memorial Foundation. In 1998-99 sheheld an invited year-long position as a Getty Scholarat the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. In2010 she was a visiting professor at the Universitadegli Studi di Pavia at Cremona, Dipartimento discienze musicologiche e paleografico-filologiche.For outstanding work in musicology, Feldmanwas awarded the 2001 Dent Medal from the RoyalMusical Association in the British Isles and foroutstanding teaching the 2009 Graduate TeachingAward of the University of Chicago. In additionto her appointment in the Music Department,she is also an Associate Faculty member in theDepartment of Romance Languages and Literatures,a Resource Faculty member in the Department ofCinema and Media Studies, and Affiliated Facultywith the Center for the Study of Gender andSexuality. She is passionate about her students,with whom she has staged many conferences,run workshops, and started the Faculty-StudentTeaching Forum.

M. Skinner (the others being at Yale, Princeton,and Michigan). These organs are considered amongthe finest examples of twentieth-century romanticorgans built in America. On November I, 1928,Rockefeller's organ, Opus 634, was unveiled at arecital by Lynnwood Farnam, reportedly to a crowdof over 2,500 admirers.In the Rockefeller organ, Skinner fully invested hisgenius for realizing a full orchestral sound, with acomplete collection of voices and many soft etherealeffects. Many of the large pipe scales, which arenecessary to achieve a full sound in a building thesize of the Chapel, are no longer built and thuscannot be found in contemporary organs. Theoriginal Chapel organ included four manuals andhad 6,610 organ pipes in 108 ranks; since its 2008restoration, it now has 8,565 pipes in 132 ranks.The organ's bay of pipes, located in the Chapelchancel, is a work of art in itself and is an integralelement of the interior architecture of Rockefeller.In addition to the chancel organ located at the frontof the Chapel, Skinner installed a gallery organ inthe upper balcony of the Chapel, to accompanythe gallery choir. The organs can be playedindependently or as one, using either console. THE CARILLONThe Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Carillonwas installed during the summer of 1932, a yearafter its sister instrument at Riverside Church inNew York City, and was dedicated at Thanksgivingthat year. Both carillons are the masterworks ofthe Gillett & Johnston bell foundry of Croydon,England. Carillons of this size had never beforebeen built and have not been constructed since.The Chicago instrument, comprised of 72 bellsand 100 tons of bronze, is the single largest musicalinstrument ever assembled. Its bells were cast overa three-year period and include a massive 18.5-tonbourdon sounding a low C#.Since carefully tuned carillon bells of this sizehad never been created, the design consultant,Frederick Mayer (organist and choirmaster at WestPoint), took the ground-breaking step of placingthe fourteen largest bells below the playing cabinso that the sound of these bells would not deafenthe performer to the smaller bells. Similarly, he laidout these 58 smaller bells so that the tiniest of themwould be directly above the cabin, with the largerones higher in the tower. He also placed trapdoorsin the roof of the cabin, thus providing thecarillonneur with a balanced sound. In the 1960s,several changes were made to the installation and amajor restoration of this instrument was undertakenfrom 2006-08. Today, the layout of bells favors theaudience rather that the carillonneur.ACADEMIC DRESSThe robes worn by participants in academicceremonies originated when European universitieswere being formed in the twelfth and thirteenthcenturies. Since many of the instructors came fromreligious orders and taught in unheated and draftybuildings, they adapted their religious robes for useas the university attire.The long robe with an attached cape or hoodbecame the standard and variation in the costumeindicated the rank of the person wearing it. Theywere worn every day and served to distinguishscholars and their students from other citizens. Theapparel worn by university faculty that is seen inold engravings is remarkably similar to that which isworn today. The gown is a symbol of the democracyof scholarship since it covers any clothing indicatingother rank or status. While everyday fashions havechanged, universities retained the earlier style forformal attire to be worn by students, graduates,faculty, and university officials on ceremonialoccasions.European universities each developed their ownstyles and colors of academic dress, and some of thedifferences seen in the academic procession todayillustrate that variety. In the United States, however,an intercollegiate congress in 1895 agreed on a singlestandard for academic dress in this country thathas been adopted by most American colleges anduniversities. Individuals with bachelor's degrees wear a black gown, which has long pointed sleeves.The gown of master's degree holders is also black,with sleeves that are squared at the end. Doctor'sgowns 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 halfcentury some American universities have adoptedgowns of a color appropriate for each school; at theUniversity of Chicago our doctoral gown is maroon.The cape of the earliest academic costumes hasbecome a hood, worn, by individuals with doctoraldegrees, over the shoulders and hanging behind.The lining of the hood is folded out and its colorsindicate the school from which the wearer obtainedhis or her degree. The velvet border designatesthe degree area of study (white for arts, yellow forscience, blue for philosophy, green for medicine,purple for law, and red for divinity). University ofChicago honorary degree recipients receive a hoodwith a white facing (doctor of humane letters),purple (doctor of laws), or yellow (doctor ofscience).The cap has its own traditions. The first right of afreed Roman slave was the privilege of wearing acap, so the academic cap is the sign of the freedomof scholarship. Although the Bat square cap ormortarboard is most usual, Chicago's doctoral cap isan octagonal tam of velvet.THE MARSHAL AND THE STUDENT MARSHALSThe office of Marshal of the University wasestablished in 1895 to assist with the conduct ofofficial ceremonies. Until 1903 the Marshal was anundergraduate upperclassman, assisted by otherundergraduate upperclassmen and by membersof the faculty. Since 1903 the Marshal has been amember of the faculty, assisted by other membersof the faculty and by undergraduate upperclassmen.The Marshal, Vice-Marshal, and Assistant Marshalsof the University of Chicago wear maroon doctor's robes with alternating black velvet and gold metallicbars on the sleeves. Prior to receiving their bachelor'sdegrees, Student Marshals wear maroon bachelor'srobes with maroon mortarboards. When receivingtheir degrees, they wear black mortarboards.Student Marshals are appointed by the Presidentof the University in recognition of their excellentscholarship and leadership. Appointment as a StudentMarshal is the highest honor conferred by theUniversity upon undergraduate students.MARSHALCatherine C.

Rockefeller, biblical scholar William RaineyHarper, and Chicago-area Baptists. The University'sArticles of Incorporation commit the institutionto excellence in both undergraduate and graduateeducation, an explicit policy of co-education, and anatmosphere of non-sectarianism.Harper agreed to become the first president of theUniversity on the condition that he be allowedto establish a university that would be unlike anyother. He conceived of a university that wouldemphasize the creation of new knowledge and"make the work of investigation primary." To thisend, the University has always been dedicated toexcellence in research and has sought the mostdistinguished scholars for its faculty.Over the years, the University and its faculty havehad a major impact on American higher education.Faculty scholarship has shaped several essentialdisciplines and established important and distinctive"Chicago schools" in such disparate fields aseconomics, evolutionary biology, sociology, literarycriticism, anthropology, and law and economics.More than eighty Nobel laureates have beenmembers of the faculty, researchers, or students at theUniversity. Programmatic innovations originating atthe University include the invention of the four­quarter system, the establishment of a coherentprogram of general education for undergraduates,the initiation of a full-time medical school teachingfaculty, and the development of extension courses andprograms in the liberal arts for adults. The University includes an undergraduate College,the William B. and Catherine V. Graham School ofGeneral Studies, four graduate divisions (BiologicalSciences, Humanities, Physical Sciences, and SocialSciences), six graduate professional schools (DivinitySchool, Law School, Pritzker School of Medicine,Irving B. Harris Graduate School of Public PolicyStudies, School of Social Service Administration,and the University of Chicago Booth School ofBusiness), and a diverse collection of academicsupport units and resources, including libraries,research institutes, clinics, museums, theaters, anda university press. The University has more than2,200 faculty and other academic personnel, andan enrollment of over I5,000 students.
