C ommencement in our

163rd Year

—  1850 – 2013  —

May 5, 2013

The Glenn and Rozanne P. K emp Commencement Plaza

Founded in 1850 by 30 civic and Methodist Church leaders, Illinois Wesleyan today is among the nation’s leading private liberal arts institutions. Clinton W. Sears, was the University’s first president and in 2004 Richard F. Wilson became Illinois Wesleyan’s 18th chief executive.

The University’s first graduate was James H. Barger, son of founder Rev. John S. Barger, who received his bachelor of science degree July 3, 1853. Hannah I. Shur, the first woman to enroll at Illinois Wesleyan, earned her degree in 1872. In 1880, Gus A. Hill earned a degree from the former school of law, 13 years after the Board of Trustees invited enrollment of African – Americans. Two Japanese students, Y. Osawa and K. Tanaka, became the University’s first international graduates in 1890. The central portion of the University’s 80 – acre campus was acquired in 1854. Wesleyan’s first building, Old North Hall, was erected in 1856 and served for 110 years before it was replaced by Sheean Library. In 2011, Sheean was razed and State Farm Hall now occupies this historic site. Old Main, the second campus building, was built in 1870 and renamed Hedding Hall in 1931, after Illinois Wesleyan absorbed Hedding College during the Great Depression. The upper floors of Hedding Hall were destroyed by fire in 1943 with the ground floor, renamed Duration Hall, continuing as a classroom building until 1965. The Hedding College bell can be found atop a stone marker on the south end of the Eckley Quadrangle. The Memorial Center, located on the west end of the quad, was dedicated in 1947 to Wesleyan men and women who served in World War II. The oldest building on campus is Stevenson Hall, which was built in 1910 as the University’s first science building and now serves as home to the School of Nursing. Cover Illustration: The Class of 2013 will be the first to receive their diplomas on the Glenn and Rozanne P. Kemp Commencement Plaza, which sits astride the south face of State Farm Hall. Scheduled to open in the fall of 2013, State Farm Hall will be an academic center for teaching and learning across the curriculum. It will also serve as the home to the faculty in the Business Administration and Economics departments.

The Eckley Quadrangle, on which Commencement takes place, honors the University’s 15th president, the late Robert S. Eckley, and his wife, Nell, who served from 1968 until 1986. Degrees are conferred on the Kemp Commencement Plaza which honors alums Glenn ’22 and Rozanne P. Kemp ’27, whose family has had strong ties to the University for more than four generations. Graduates of the class of 2013 join the more than 20,000 Illinois Wesleyan alumni living in all 50 states and 52 countries around the world.

America The Beautiful O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain!

America! America! God shed his grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea.

From hearts aflame our love we pledge to thee, Where’er we wander over land or sea; Through time unending loyal we will be — True to our Alma Mater Wesleyan.

Honorary Degree Recipient Robert Parris Moses

Juan Salgado ’91

Founder & President of the Algebra Project, Cambridge, Massachusetts Civil Rights Pioneer

President & CEO of Instituto del Progreso Latino, Chicago, Illinois

A 1991 graduate of Illinois Wesleyan University, Juan Salgado is an influential civic leader, social innovator and community volunteer who is doing what he loves best. For the past 12 years, Mr. Salgado has served as President and CEO of Instituto del Progreso Latino, which creates educational, training and community engagement initiatives and workforce opportunities for Latino communities in Chicago, Ill. Mr. Salgado has led Instituto through a period of national award-winning recognition and historic organizational growth focusing on education and upward mobility. Most recently, Instituto established the Instituto Health Sciences Career Academy, a new charter high school aimed at inspiring and preparing Chicago’s youth for success in the growing healthcare fields. Instituto was selected as the National Council of La Raza’s 2009 Affiliate of the Year and received an Award of Excellence from the United States Department of Labor in 2008. A significant voice in local and national settings for his work on the educational, political and economic advancement of the Latino community, Mr. Salgado was recognized as a White House Champion of Change for Social Innovation in 2011. In 2010, Mr. Salgado was awarded the Excellence in Community Service Award by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund. From 2006 to 2009, he served as an advisor to President of Mexico Felipe Calderon on the state of Mexican immigrants in the United States. Mr. Salgado was also the recipient of the 2007 and 2009 Aspen Ideas Festival Fellowship, joining top decision-makers, journalists, artists, policy experts and government officials from across the globe. In 2005, he earned a fellowship in the distinguished Leadership Greater Chicago program. Mr. Salgado grew up in Calumet Park, Ill., where he watched his neighborhood change over the years. Through his studies in economics at IWU, he saw the potential of matching his degree to his dreams and won a graduate fellowship to study at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he earned a master’s degree in urban planning in 1993. Prior to joining Instituto, Mr. Salgado worked for Chicago-area efforts such as the Citizens Information Service and the Resurrection Project, which focused on building communities through affordable housing, day care and construction cooperatives. A member of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s economic development transition team, Mr. Salgado currently serves on the City-County Collaboration Committee, a committee of seven leaders tasked to provide a blue print for unprecedented cooperation among the city and county. Recently, Mr. Salgado was chosen to be a Commissioner for the Chicago Park District. He also serves on the board of Leadership Greater Chicago, the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights and is a Trustee of the Adler School of Professional Psychology. Mr. Salgado is a member of the Executive Board of the Chicago Manufacturing Renaissance Council where he promotes the vibrancy of manufacturing in Chicago while facilitating partnerships between business, labor, government, community and educators to advance economic growth and sustainability. 2|

Today we welcome and honor our alumnus Juan Salgado for his commitment to civic engagement that makes an invaluable difference in our world.

A lifelong social activist, civil rights pioneer and a visionary educator, Robert Parris Moses is the founder and president of the Algebra Project (AP), a not-for-profit organization that uses mathematics as an organizing tool to ensure quality public school education for every child in America. In 1982, Mr. Moses received a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship and subsequently started the Algebra Project, which focuses on math education and training to prepare disadvantaged students for an increasingly competitive job marketplace. In striving for equality, Mr. Moses, as quoted in Radical Equations: Civil Rights from Mississippi to the Algebra Project, believes that “the absence of math literacy in urban and rural communities throughout this country is an issue as urgent as the lack of registered Black voters in Mississippi in 1961.” With the support of the National Science Foundation since 2002, the AP has proposed a math high school “benchmark” for bottom quartile students: that they graduate high school on time, in four years, and are ready to do college math.

Mr. Moses’ focus on education is part of the lifetime commitment he has made to civil rights. A prominent figure in the Civil Rights Movement as a field secretary for the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Mr. Moses initiated SNCC’s Mississippi Voter Registration Project in 1961, and was appointed its director in 1962. As co-director of the Council of Federated Organizations, he developed the idea for the 1964 Mississippi Summer Project, a grassroots voter registration drive, and was instrumental in the creation of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. Born and raised in Harlem, Mr. Moses received a bachelor’s degree in 1956 from Hamilton College in New York and a master’s degree in philosophy from Harvard University in 1957. He taught middle school mathematics at the Horace Mann School in New York, and in the early 1970s worked for the Ministry of Education in Tanzania, Africa. Mr. Moses is co-author of Radical Equations: Civil Rights from Mississippi to the Algebra Project and co-editor of Quality Education as a Constitutional Right: Creating a Grassroots Movement to Transform Public Schools. From 2011 to 2012, he was the Distinguished Visitor for the Center for African American Studies at Princeton University and a visiting lecturer at the New York University School of Law during the fall of 2012. He is the recipient of many awards including the McGraw Hill Award in Education (2004), the Mary Chase Smith Award (2002), the Nation/Puffin Prize for Creative Citizenship (2001) and the Heinz Award for the Human Condition (2000). Today we welcome and honor Robert Parris Moses for his dedication to civil rights, and his commitment to social justice through the expansion of educational opportunities.

National Honor Societies

Illinois Wesleyan students are eligible for membership in the nation’s two best – known honor societies, Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi. For both societies, eligibility is limited to those students whose academic performance places them in the top 10 percent of their class during their junior or senior year. ΦΒΚ, Phi Beta Kappa was founded at the College of William and Mary in 1776. It is the nation’s oldest national academic honorary society. The society’s motto, “Love of learning is the guide of life,” represents the society’s commitment to the liberal arts and sciences. Now found on 300 college and university campuses, the Illinois Wesleyan chapter was granted a charter in 2001.

ΦΚΦ, Phi Kappa Phi was founded at the University of Maine in 1897 and is the oldest all – discipline academic honor society. The society’s mission is “to recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others.” With chapters on over 300 campuses, the Illinois Wesleyan chapter was chartered in 1922.

Prior to and during the Commencement ceremony, the Illinois Wesleyan Alumni Association will sponsor a hospitality beverage tent which is located south of Shaw Hall on the east side of the Eckley Quadrangle. A first – aid station is located near the tent. In the Shirk Center these same services will be available in the lobby. Before the ceremony, light refreshments may be purchased at Hattie’s and Tommy’s in the Hansen Student Center and the Coffee Shoppe in Memorial Center. The University Bookstore in the Hansen Student Center offers many items for sale. Near the Eckley Quadrangle, restrooms are located on the first floor of the following buildings: Shaw Hall, Center for Liberal Arts (wheelchair accessible), Memorial Center, and Holmes Hall. In the Shirk Center, the restrooms are located to the north of the lobby. Following the ceremony, the Illinois Wesleyan Alumni Association invites you to a short reception in the tents on Eckley Quadrangle. If the ceremony is in the Shirk Center, the reception will be in the Activity Center. Faculty look forward to greeting the graduates and their families during the reception. Senior marshals for the Commencement ceremony are Professors Frank Boyd, Rebecca Roesner and Zahia Drici. Student marshals from the Class of 2014 are Chase Hundman and Robert Norman.

Academic Colors and Regalia

Like judicial robes, the garments worn on academic occasions such as today’s Commencement derive from the ecclesiastical garb of medieval England. The scholar in the Middles Ages, it must be remembered, was a clerk, and therefore required to wear the clerical gown and tonsure. Certainly, at Oxford and Cambridge, at least in the earliest times, the robes were monastic in origin, although the hood was adapted from a lay garment common to both sexes and all classes.

In 1893 an intercollegiate commission presented a uniform code for caps, gowns, and hoods to be worn in the United States. The mortarboard caps are the same for doctoral, master’s, and baccalaureate degrees, except that doctors’ caps may be of velvet and may have a gold tassel. The bachelor’s gown is marked by pointed sleeves, reaching to the knee, while the master’s sleeve is squared at the ends, and longer. The doctoral robe is fullest, with rounded bell shaped sleeves marked by three velvet stripes.

As early as the fourteenth Century, scholars of certain colleges were required by statute to wear “a decent habit” befitting a clerk and no evidence appears that there was much differentiation among undergraduates, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral robes. All were black, commonly of lamb’s wool; most were fur – lined for warmth or at least fur trimmed; and the only mark of difference was in the fuller cut and ankle length of the master’s gown. The cope, or closed cape, was also black and followed the style of the everyday mantle of the clergy.

The greatest symbolism of the academic costume is borne by the hood, which identifies the level of the degree, the faculty (or department of learning) in which it was earned, and the institution which awarded it. The size of the hood, its shape, and the width of its velvet trim identify the level of the degree, with doctoral hoods naturally being the fullest, widest, and longest. Faculty colors tell us the department.

Hoods were worn by all and probably had no academical significance at the beginning. By 1330 – 40 doctors began to adopt scarlet for their hoods, and by 1500, for their robes, with black retained by the masters of arts and bachelors of divinity. An act of Henry VIII in 1533 ratified the wearing of robes of other colors. Hoods were lined with silk and miniver fur, a custom surviving until the late seventeenth Century, but over the years distinctions were created to identify the various ranks and faculties. Caps evolved in similar manner. The round velvet cap is still worn today in the full dress of doctors (except doctors in theology); the familiar square, or mortar – board, was copied in the early sixteenth Century from the thirteenth Century cap of the University of Paris. A third style also derives from Paris: a squared cap made by sewing four pieces of cloth with seams producing ridged edges, seen in modern times in the biretta of the clergy and the squared velvet cap of doctors of theology. The “who” and “how” of the wearing of caps produced numerous rulings, restrictions, and change. The Reformation repressed the brilliant silks, gold lace, costly furs, and extravagant cut of academic robes, and the sober and more uniform styles are for the most part what we see today. However, the growth of higher education in the United States during the nineteenth Century, when the great land grant colleges and universities were established under the Morrill Act, created a confusion of conflicting styles and colors. The easy identification of one’s academic status by means of cut, fabric, and color was no longer true.

Today’s graduates will be wearing white for the College of Liberal Arts, pink for the School of Music, apricot for the School of Nursing, golden yellow for the sciences, and brown for the fine arts. Faculty members in the processional may be wearing light blue for education, copper for economics, drab for business and accountancy, orange for engineering, purple for law, lemon for library science, green for medicine, apricot for nursing, dark blue for philosophy, sage green for physical sciences, cream for social sciences, and scarlet for theology, among the many available. The colors are mandatory on hoods, but may also be used on the tassels and/or the velvet on doctoral gowns. The university or college is usually identified by the color of the hood lining. Two colors are frequently used, since there are approximately 2,000 degree – g ranting institutions in the United States. A few, such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and the University of Chicago, use a single color. Illinois Wesleyan’s green and white was adopted in 1888. The Illinois Wesleyan University Mace, first carried at the 1969 inauguration of Dr. Robert S. Eckley as fifteenth president of the University, is also a striking symbol of the institution. Made of bronze for power and endurance and of walnut for organic strength, its cupola represents the bell tower of Old North Hall, Illinois Wesleyan’s first building, which was erected in 1856. Old North was demolished in 1966 to make way for Sheean Library and State Farm Hall now occupies this historic site. The bell suggests the Hedding Bell, a campus landmark since 1931, when it was installed on the IWU campus after Hedding College was absorbed by the University during the Great Depression. The staff of the Mace is made from the walnut of Old North Hall, and the names of Illinois Wesleyan’s presidents are engraved on its bronze base.
