�Mace and Chain of Office
The inauguratlon of President l"Iichelini marked the flrst cer'
emonial use of two lmportant insignia given to Wllkes Univer'
sity. Thehandsomemace andchainof office arethe glfts of local
donors.
The two insignta were designed by Ottie llill Chwalek'67
and executed by a nationally known gold and siluersmlth, Professor Kurt J. Iulatzdorf of the State Uniuerslty of New York College atNew Paltz, New Paltz, New York.

The Uniuersity Mace
The Mace is made of sterllng siluer throughout. Atthe lower
end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) kno b. The upper
end of the shaft displags the inscriptlon "Wilkes College 7955."
Aboue the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that
Wilkes-Barre acted as a meltlng pot in forming a neu) and ulgorous community of people of many different backgrounds. Thls

theme is clearly stated ln the gtlt inscription around the upper
part of the bowl: "unity Amldst Dtuersity;' Set tnto the top of the
bowl is the gilt seal of Wilkes University. The top of the nt?cQ is ?
gilt flame-like structure to tndicate the enllghtenment to be
gatned fromhigher education. A piece of anthracite coalfrom a
local mine is set in the center of thts "flame" to commemorate
the origin of the community and the Uniuersity in its coalmintng past.

The Chain of Office

The Chain of Offtce of the ?resldent of Wilkes Uniuerstty is
four feet long and ts made of sterling siluer throughout. The
Iinks of the chaln are alternating silver bowls and gilt flames re'
peattng the motlf of the mace. In the front hangs the gllt seal of
Wilkes Uniuersity suspended from a cluster of oak leaues with
three acorrts to suggest the strength and sturdiness of future
generations. The back of the chain ts a slluer portrait of Dugene
S. Farley, first President of Wllkes Uniuersity, set in a cluster of
gilt oak leaues to commemorate hts strong leadership of the Uniuerstty.

Ever swell thy fame-Wkes, we stand to greet thee!
Glory to thy rlarne.

DOCTOR OF' HUMANE LETTEKS

Advocate for children. From her undergraduate days as an Economics
major at the University of California at Berkeley, Lisbeth Schorr has
studied, strategized, taught, guided public policy and attempted to rally
public opinion and our nation's leaders to address problems affecting
the health and well-being of America's children, particularly those disadvantaged from birth. Lecturer in Social Medicine at Harvard University, she has been a leader of numerous public and private organizations
dealingwith the physical, educational, social, and psychological health
of our youngest citizens. In an extraordinarily powerful and much acclaimed book, Witbin Our Reach: Breaking the Cgcle of Disaduantage,
she has focused the nation's attention on what has worked and what can
be done if we have the will.

man enterprise on radio, television, and in print. Last active member of
Ddward R. Murrow's CBS news team, Schorrjousted with the Kremlin and
the Congress in defense of the public's right to know. He has charted the
spread of democracy in Dastern Europe and the threats to civil liberties
and civil rights at home. CoveringJoe McCarthy, Watergate, super power
summits, scandals in the CIA and FBI, Dan Schorr has consistently d-emonstrated his criticat independence and dedication to a free press, often
at great personal sacrifice. He now focuses our attention on this dramatically changingworld as Senior News Analyst for National Public Radio.

�AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL
O beautiful for qpacious *ies, for amber waves of grain,
For purpte mountain majesties above the fruited plain.
America! America! God shed his grace on thee,
fuid crown thy good wittr brotherhood ftom sea to shining sea.
O beautiful for pariot dream that sees beyond the years,
Thine alabaster cities glearn, undimmed by human tears.
America! America! God shed his grace on thee,
fuid cro$,n thy good with brotherhood from sea o shining sea.

�Academic Costume
The celebration of Commencement is suruounded by rich traditions. The esta,blished communitg of scholars - the Faculty - convene to recognize officially the newest group of proven scholars
- the
Qraduates - and welcome them in fellowship. Qraduates don the attire that for Aears has symbolized scholarly attainment.

During the Middle Ages those seeking an education traueled to European centers of learntng. Centers of learning and uniuersities were
closely allied with the clerics of the time, and the scholars donned garb
similar to that u,orn by the clergg. Thts euolued tnto the academic uniform, a long black gown, hood, and cap, whlch proued useful for
studying ln unheated and drafty buildings. The hood serued simultaneouslg as a head couering, a repositorg for colns and alms and the
forerunner of the modern day book bag. The hood was adorned with
the colors of the unluersitg and designated the young scholar's school
or uniuersitg affiliation. By their distlnctiue clothing the students were
set apart and dtstingutshed from the citizens of the town; hence the
originof the phrase "town and gown;'
American colleges and uniuersltles adopted the wearing of the traditional apparel in Colonial tlmes, and a common code for academic
apparelwas establtshed in the mid-nineteenth century.
The hood is the most distinctiue feature of academic regalia. The
inside of the hood is lined wlth the official colors of the institution; today gou see Wilkes graduates wearing'hoods lined with the blue and
gold colors of the Uniuersitg. The ueluet trim around the outside of the
hood designates the degree or field of study of the graduates. The ueluet colors worn bg today's graduates signify the following:

OoldenYellow - Science
White - Arts, Letters, flumanities
Drab - Business Administration or
Health Administration
Pink - Music
LightBlue - Education

Brown - Fine Arts

The stgle of the gown distinguishes graduates by the degree theg
haue earned. Those earning the bachelor's degree wear a simple black
gown with elongated pointed sleeues. ITolders of the master's degree
wear gou)ns with a longer, closed, square cut sleeue. The doctoral
gown is trimmed with ueluet stripes on the sleeues and panels of ueluet
on the front closure of the gown.

gowns intheir
distinctiue colors. You wlll notice the pale blue-grag of Columbia, the
red of Cornell, the burgundy of the Uniuerstty of Pennsyloania, the
brtght blue of the Uniuersity of Michigan.

selecting music for today's ceremonA to salute
our honorarA degree recipient
John Birks "Dizzy" Olllespie.
We

tro r half a century IuIr, Qillespie's music has
enchanted and enliuened the citizens of America
and the peoples of the world. ffis deuelopment of
be-bop brought a distinctiue flauor to American
jazz. The artistrA of Dizzy Gillespie sparked the
creatiuity of his fellow musicians and opened the
genre of jazz to new heights and wider
dimensions. Through it all, in spite of mood or
tone, Mr. Oillespie's music ls a celebration, a

innouation, and growth are the uerA qualities of

uictories of our graduates.

�Mace and Chain of Office
The inauguration of President lvlichelini marked the first ceremonial use of two important insignia giuen to Wilkes Uniuerslty. The handsome mace and chaln of office are the gifts of local

donors.
The two insignia urere deslgned by Ottie llill Chwalek '67
and executed by anationallg known gold and siluersmith, Professor Kurt J. Matzdorf of the State Uniuersity of New York College at New Paltz, New Paltz, New York.

The University Mace
The Mace is made of sterling siluer throughout. At the lower
end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold- plated) kno b. The upper
end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 7935|'

Aboue the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that
Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and uigorous community of people of many different backgrounds. This
theme is clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper
part of the bowl: "Unity Amidst Diuersity;' Set into the top of the
bowl is the gilt seal of Wilkes Uniuersity. The top of the mace is a
gilt flame-like structure to indicate the enlightenment to be
gained from higher educatton. A piece of anthracite coal from a
local mine is set in the center of this "flame" to commemorate
the origin of the community and the Uniuersity in its coal mining past.

The Chain of Office

The Chain of Office of the President of Wilkes Uniuersity is
four feet long and is made of sterling siluer throughout. The
Iinks of the chain are alternating siluer bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of
Wilkes Uniuersity suspended from a cluster of oak leaues with
three acorns to suggest the strength and sturdiness of future
generations. The back of the chain is a slluer portrait of Eugene
S. Farley, first President of Wilkes Uniuersity, set in a cluster of
gtlt oak leaves to commemorate his strong leadership of the Uniuerslty.

DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS

Ronnnr Cnnnuo Eurns

Model of an educational leader in northeastern Pennsylvania.

tle taught his educator colleagues in the public and private
school sectors as well as the post secondary level the importance of working with students to address their needs as learners while keeping in mind society's needs for an educated and
skilled citizenry. Working with business and industry, colleges, community leaders and believers of all sorts, he never
gave up on the vision of a partnership of the adult community
to provide the structure and atmosphe.re that will support the
coming generation. Proud and supportive husband and father, he has epitomized in his private life and public work a
spirit of progressive change and civility. Teacher, learner, administrator par excellence, community leader and citizen, he
has demonstrated what students can achieve and what the
community can become as it works together to meet the
needs of the students and the community.

�Academic Costume
The celebration of Commencement is surrounded bg rich tradi'
tions. The established communlty of scholars - the faculty - con'
uene to recognize officially the newest group of prouen scholars - the
Graduates - and welcome them in fellowshtp. Qraduates don the at'
tire that for Aears has symbolized scholarly attainment.
During the tvliddle Ages those seeking an education traueled to Eu'
ropean centers of learning. Centers of learning and uniuersities were
closelg allied with the clerics of the time, and the scholars donned garb
similar to that worn bg the clergy. This euolued into the academic uniform, a long black gown, hood, and cap, which proued useful for
studying in unheated and drafty buildings. The hood served simulta'
neously as a head couering, a reposltory for coins and alms and the
forerunner of the modern day book bag. The hood was adorned with
the colors of the uniuersity and deslgnated the young scholar's school
or uniuersitg affiliation. By thetr distinctiue clothing the students were
set apart and disttnguished from the citizens of the town; hence the
origin of the phrase "town and gown;'
American colteges and uniuersitles adopted the wearing of the traditional apparel in Colontal times, and a common code for academlc
apparel was established in the mid-nineteenth centurg.
The hood is the most distinctive feature of academic regalia. The
inside of the hood is lined with the official colors of the institutlon; to'
day you see Wilkes graduates weanng hoods lined with the blue and
gold colors of the lJniuersity. The ueluet trim around the outside of the
hood designates the degree or field of studA of the graduate,s. The veluet colors worn bg today's graduates signlfy the followlng:

OoldenYellow - Science
White - Arts, Letters, Humanities
Drab - Business Administration or
flealth Administration

Pink - Music
Light Blue - Education
Brown - Fine Arts
The stgle of the gown distinguishes graduates by the degree they
haue earned. Those earning the bachelor's degree wear a simple black
gown with elongated pointed sleeues. Ilolders of the master's degree
u)ear gowns wtth a longer, closed, square cut sleeue. The doctoral
gown is trimmed with ueluet stripes on the sleeues and panels of ueluet
onthe front closure of the gown.
Some American unluersities haue adopted doctoral gowns ln their
distinctiue colors. You wlll notice the slatgof Columbia, the red of Cor'
nell, the burgundg of the lJniversltg of Pennsyluanta, the bright blue of
the Untuerstty of Michigan.

prtuilege of wearing academic regalia stgnifies
not onlg the completion of a program of studies, but entrance into the
co mar ad erie o f scho lar ship.

�Maee and Chain of Office
The inauguration of President Michelini marked the first ceremonial use of two important insignia gluen to Wilkes Uniuersity. The handsome mace and chain of office are the gifts of local

donors.
The two insignia were designed bg Ottie lTill Chwalek'67
and executed by a nationally known gold and siluersmith, Professor Kurt J. Matzdorf of the State Uniuersity of New York College atNew Paltz, New Paltz, New York.

The University Mace

of sterling siluer throughout. Atthe lower
endof thehammered shaftis a gllt(gold-plated) knob. Theupper
end of the shaft displags the inscription "Wilkes College 7955."
Aboue the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that
Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in formlng a new and uigorous community of people of many different backgrounds. This
theme ls clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper
part of the bowl: "Unity Amidst Diuersitg;' Set into the top of the
bowl is the gllt seal of Wilkes Unluersity. The top of the mace is a
gilt flame-like structure to indicate the enlightenment to be
gained from hlgher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a
local mine is set in the center of this "flame" to commemorate
the origtn of the community and the University in its coal minlng past.
The Mace is made

The Chain of Office

The Chain of Office of the President of Wilkes Uniuersity is
four feet long and ts made of sterling stluer throughout. The
Iinks of the chain are alternating siluer bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of
Wilkes Uniuersity swspended from a cluster of oak leaues wlth
three acorns to suggest the strength and sturdiness of future
generations. The back of the chain is a siluer portrait of Eugene
S. Farley, first President of Wilkes Uniuersity, set in a cluster of
gilt oak leaues to commemorate his strong leadership of the Uniuersity.

O beauttful for spacious skles , for amber waues of grain,
For purplemountainmajesties aboue the frutted plain.
Amerlca! America! Qod shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.

Thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by humantears.
America! America! God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.

Spring Commencement
for the
Conferring of Degrees

Saturday Afternoon

�AcademicCostume
The celebration of Commencement is surrounded bg rich
traditions. The established community of scholars - the facultg conuene to recognlze officlally the newest group of provenscholars the Oraduates - and welcome them in fellowship. Oraduates don the
attire that for years has symbolized scholarly attalnment.
Durlng the Middle Ages those seeking an educatton traueled to
European centers of learning, Centers of learning and uniuerslttes
were closety allted wtth the clerlcs of the time, and the scholars donned
garb simllar to that worn by the clergg. Thls euolued lnto the academic
uniform, a long black gown, haod, and cap, which proved useful for
studging in unheated and drafty bulldings. The hood serued
simultaneously as a head couerlng, a reposttory for colns and alms
and the forerunner of the modern day book bag. The hood was
adorned with the colors of the uniuersity and designated the young
scholar's school or uniuersity afftltatton. Bg their disttnctlue clothing
the students were set apart and distinguished from the citizens of the
town; hence the ortgtn of the phrase "town and gown."
American colleges and uniuersities adopted the wearing of the
traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common code for academic
apparel was established in the mid-ninete€nth century.
The hood is the most disttnctiue feature of academic regalia. The
inside of the hood is lined with the offtcial cslors of the instttution;
todag you see Wilkes graduates wearlng hoods tined with the btue and
gold colors of the Uniaersit4. The ueluet trim around the outside of the
hood designates the degree or field of study of the graduates. The
ueluet colors worn by today's graduates stgnifg the following:
Oolden Yettow - Science
White - Arts, Letters, tlumanities
Drab - Business Administration or
Health Administration
Pink - Music
Brown - Fine Arts
The style of the gou)n distinguishes graduates bg the degree theg

haue earned. Those earning the bachelor's degree wear a simple black
gown with elongated pointed sleeues. Ilolders of the master's degree
wear gowns with a longer, closed, square cut sleeue. The doctoral
gown is trimmed with ueluet stripes on the sleeues and panels of ueluet
on the front closure of the gown.
Some American uniuersities haue adopted doctoral gowns in their
distinctiue colors. You will notice the slate of Columbia, the red of
Cornell, the burgundy of the Uniuersity of Pennsyluanta, the bright
blue of the University of Michigan.
7b haue earned the priuilege of wearing academic regalia signifles
not onlg the completion of a program of studies, but entrance into the
comradery of scholarship.

�The University Mace
and
Presidential Chain of Office

The mace and the presidential chain of office used in academic
celebrations represent traditions dating to the sixteenth century. The
mace sAmbolizes the authority of the uniuersity and the chain of office
designates the presidential leadership of the academg.

The Wilkes lJniuersitg mace and presidential chain of office were
gifts of local donors and were first used in 7970 at the inauguration of
the second president of Wilkes. They were designed bg Ottie llill
Chwalek'67 and executed by Kurt t"Iatzdorf, a nationally recognized
gold and siluersmith from the State Uniuersity of New York CoIIege at
New Paltz, New Paltz, New York.

The Uniuersity Mace
The sterling siluer mace has a gilt knob at its base and a gilt circle at
the top bearing the inscription "Wilkes College 7933." The bowl, rls[ng
aboue the neck of the mace, signifies Wilkes-Barre's role as a melting

pot, forming a new and uigorous communtty of people from many
different backgrounds. This theme is reiterated in the inscrlption of the
Uniuersitg's motto "Unity Amidst Diuersity" which surrounds the
upper part of the bowl. The gilt flame symbolizes the enlightenment
gained from higher education, while the piece of anthracite coal set in
the center of the flame commemorates the origin of the Uniuersitg in a
communitg known for its coal mining past.

The Presidential Chain of Office

The Presidential Chain of Office, created from sterling siluer, has
alternating bowls and gilt flames, repeating the motif of the mace. On
the front of the four-foot long chain hangs a gilt seal of Wilkes which is
suspended from a cluster of oak leaues with acorns, suggesting the
strength and sturdiness of future generations. On the back of the
Presidential Chain of Office is a siluer portrait of Dr. Eugene S. Farley,
the first President of Wilkes. Dr. Farley's portrait is surrounded by gilt
oak leaues commemorating his strong leadership of the emerging
institution.
