Skinner (the others being at Yale, Princeton, andMichigan). These organs are considered among thefinest examples of zoth-century romantic organs builtin America. On November I, 1928, Rockefeller's organ,Opus 634, was unveiled at a recital by LynnwoodFarnam, reportedly to a crowd of 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 the sizeof the Chapel, are no longer built and thus cannot befound in contemporary organs. The original Chapelorgan included four manuals and had 6,6ro organpipes in ro8 ranks; since its 2008 restoration, it nowhas 8,565 pipes in 132 ranks. The organ's bay of pipes,located in the Chapel chancel, is a work of art in itselfand is an integral element of the interior architectureof Rockefeller. In addition to the chancel organlocated at the front of the Chapel, Skinner installeda gallery organ in the upper balcony of the Chapel,to accompany the gallery choir. The organs can beplayed independently or as one, using either console. The Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Carillonwas installed during the summer of 1932, a year afterits sister instrument at Riverside Church in New YorkCity, and was dedicated at Thanksgiving that year.Both carillons are the masterworks of the Gillett &Johnston bell foundry of Croydon, England. Carillonsof this size had never before been built and have notbeen constructed since. The Chicago instrument,comprised of 72 bells and roo tons of bronze, is thesingle largest musical instrument ever assembled. Itsbells were cast over a three-year period and includea massive 18.5-ton bourdon sounding a low C#.Since carefully tuned carillon bells of this size hadnever been created, the design consultant, FrederickMayer (organist and choirmaster at West Point), tookthe ground-breaking step of placing the 14 largest bellsbelow the playing cabin so that the sound of these bellswould not deafen the performer to the smaller bells.Similarly, he laid out these 58 smaller bells so that thetiniest of them would be directly above the cabin, withthe larger ones higher in the tower. He also placedtrapdoors in the roof of the cabin, thus providingthe carillonneur with a balanced sound. In the 1960s,several changes were made to the installation, and amajor restoration of this instrument was undertakenfrom 2006 to 2008. Today, the layout of bellsfavors the audience rather than the carillonneur.ACADEMIC DRESSThe robes worn by participants in academic ceremoniesoriginated when European universities were beingformed in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Sincemany of the instructors came from religious ordersand taught in unheated and drafty buildings, theyadapted their religious robes for use as university attire.The long robe with an attached cape or hood becamethe standard, and variation in the costume indicatedthe rank of the person wearing it. They were wornevery day and served to distinguish scholars and theirstudents from other citizens. The apparel worn byuniversity faculty that is seen in old engravings isremarkably similar to that which is worn today. Thegown is a symbol of the democracy of scholarshipsince it covers any clothing indicating other rankor status. While everyday fashions have changed,universities retained the earlier style for formalattire to be worn by students, graduates, faculty,and university officials on ceremonial occasions.European universities each developed their ownstyles and colors of academic dress, and some ofthe differences seen in the academic processiontoday illustrate that variety. In the United States,however, an intercollegiate congress in 1895 agreedon a single standard for academic dress that hasbeen 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. It is placed over the shoulders and hangsdown the back. The lining of the hood is foldedout and its colors indicate the school from whichthe wearer obtained his or her degree. The velvetborder designates the degree area of study (whitefor arts, yellow for science, blue for philosophy,drab for business, green for medicine, purple forlaw, and red for divinity). University of Chicagohonorary degree recipients receive a hood with awhite facing (Doctor of Humane Letters), purple(Doctor of Laws), or yellow (Doctor of Science).The first right of a freed Roman slave was theprivilege of wearing a cap, so the academic cap isthe sign of the freedom of scholarship. Althoughthe Hat square cap or mortarboard is most usual,Chicago's doctoral cap is an octagonal tam of velvet.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO I 528TH CONVOCATIONTHE 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 wasan undergraduate upperclassman, assisted by otherundergraduate upperclassmen and by membersof the faculty. Since 1903, the Marshal has been amember of the faculty, assisted by other members ofthe faculty and by undergraduate upperclassmen.The Marshal, Vice-Marshal, and Assistant Marshalsof the University of Chicago wear maroon doctor'srobes with alternating black velvet and gold metallicRACHEL FULTON BROWNANDREW DAVISHELMA DIKGruLIA GALLINICHOLAS ENSINGER ANTOSEVAN DANIEL BERNSTEINBRENNA ELIZABETH BUDDLENA W.

Rockefeller and Chicago-area Baptists.The University's Articles of Incorporation committhe institution to excellence in both undergraduateand graduate education, an explicit policy of co­education, and an atmosphere of non-sectarianism.Biblical scholar William Rainey Harper agreed tobecome the first president of the University on thecondition that he be allowed to establish a universitythat would be unlike any other. He conceived ofa university that would emphasize the creation ofnew knowledge and "make the work of investigationprimary." To this end, the University has always beendedicated to excellence in research and has soughtthe most distinguished 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 atthe University. Programmatic innovations originatingat the 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 coursesand programs in the liberal arts for adults. The University includes an undergraduate College,the William B. and Catherine V Graham Schoolof Continuing Liberal and Professional Studies, fivegraduate divisions (Biological Sciences, Humanities,Physical Sciences, Social Sciences, and the Institutefor Molecular Engineering), six graduate professionalschools (Divinity School, Law School, Pritzker Schoolof Medicine, Irving B. Harris Graduate School of PublicPolicy Studies, School of Social Service Administration,and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business),and a diverse collection of academic support units andresources, including libraries, research institutes, clinics,museums, theaters, and the University of ChicagoPress. The University has more than 2,700 facultyand other academic personnel, and an enrollment ofover 15,000 students. The zrr-acre campus is locatedalong the Midway Plaisance in Hyde Park, a residentialcommunity on Lake Michigan south of Chicago's Loop.The University's English Collegiate Gothic buildings,built of gray Indiana limestone, were designed to frameshady, green quadrangles. Contemporary campusbuildings have been designed in keeping with theoriginal Gothic theme while drawing from the traditionof great modern architecture for which the city ofChicago is famous. Eero Saarinen and Ludwig Miesvan der Rohe designed striking buildings for the LawSchool and the School of Social Service Administration.The National Trust for Historic Preservation praised theUniversity for its insistence on architectural continuityover "a century of social and academic change."On July 1,2006, Robert J. Zimmer becamethe University's thirteenth president.
