The established community of scholars prouen scholars - the Faculty - conyene to recognize fficially the newest group of and welcome them infellowship, Graduates don the attire thatfor years has symbolized scholarly attainment. During the Craduates MiddleAges Euroltean centers of learning. Centers of learning and uniuersities were closely allied with the cleria of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to that worn by the clergy.This euolued into the academic uniJorm, a long the those seehing an education traveled to gown, hood, and cap, which proued useful for studying in unheated and drafty buildings. The hood served simultaneously as a head couering, a repository Jor coins and alms and the black forerunner of the modern day boole bag.The hood was adorned with the colors of the university and designated the young scholar\ school or uniuersity ffiliation. By their distinctiue clothing the students were set apart and distinguished the phrase from the citizens of the town; hence the origin of "town and gown." American colleges and uniuersities adopted the wearing oJthe traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common codefor academic apparel was established in the mid-nineteenth century. The hood is the most distinctiue feature of academic regalia. The inside of the hood is lined with the oficial colors of the institution; today you seeWilkes graduates wearing hoods lined with the blue and gold colors of the University.The ueluet trim around the outside oJ the hood designates the degree or field of *udy of the graduates.The ueluet colors worn by today\ graduates signfy the following : GoldenYellow White Drab - Science Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration The style 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. Holders of the master's degree wear gowns with a longer, closed, square cut sleeve.The doctoral gown is trimmed with ueluet stripes on the sleeves and panels of uelvet on thefront closure of the gown. Some American uniuersities haue adopted doctoral gowns in their distinctive colors.You will notice the slate of Columbia, the red of Cornell, the burgundy of the Uniuersity of Pennsyluania, the bright blue of the University of Michigan. Tb haue earned the privilege of wearing academic costume regalia signifies not only the completion of a program of studies, but entrance into the comradery of scholarship. 23 I r- �ARNAUD C.

The established community oJ scholars prouen scholars - - the Faculty the Graduates - conuene to recognize fficially the newest group of and welcome them infellowship. Craduates don the attire - attainment. thatfor years has symbolized scholarly During the MiddleAges those seeking an education trayeled to European centers of learning. Centers of learning and uniuersities were closely allied with the clerics of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to that worn by the clergy.This euolued into the academic uniform, a long gown, hood, and cap, which proued usefulfor studying in unheated and drafty buildings. The hood serued simultaneously as a head couering, a repository for coins and alms and the black forerunner of the modern day book bag,The hood was adorned with the colors of the uniuersity and designated the young scholar\ school or uniuersity ffiliation. By their distinctive clothing the students were set apart and distingukhedfrom the citizens of the town; hence the origin of the phrase "town and gown." American colleges and uniuersities adopted the wearing of the traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common codefor academic apparel was established in the mid-nineteenth century. The hood is the most distinctiue feature of academic regalia. The inside of the hood is lined with the fficial colors of the institution; today you seeWilkes graduates wearing hoods lined with the blue and gold colors of the [Jniversity.The ueluet trim around the outside oJ the hood designates the degree or field of study of the graduates.The ueluet colors worn by today\ graduates signfy the following : GoldenYellow White Drab - Science Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration The style of the gown distinguishes graduates by the degree they haue earned. Those earning the bachelor\ degree wear a simple black gown with elongated pointed sleeves. Holders of the master\ degree wear gowns with a longer, closed, square cut sleeue.The doctoral goum is trimmed with uelvet stripes on the sleeues and panels of ueluet on thefront closure of the gown. SomeAmerican uniuersities have adopted doctoral gowns in their distinctive colors.You will notice the slate of Columbia, the red of Cornell, the burgundy of the Uniuersity of Pennsyluania, the bright blue of the Uniuersity oJ Michigan. To have earned the priuilege of wearing academic costume regalia signffies not only the completion oJ a program of studies, but entrance into the comradery of scholarship. 23 �ARNAUD C.

The established conyene to recognize fficially the newest group of the Faculty and welcome them infellowship. Craduates don the attire prouen scholars the Graduates thatfor years has symbolized scholaily attainment. The celebration of Commencement is surrounded by community oJ scholars - During the - MiddleAges - - those seeking an education traueled to European centers of learning. Centers of learning and uniuersities were closely allied with the clerics of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to that worn by the clergy.This euolved into the academic unform, a long black gown, hood, and cap, which proued useful for studying in unheated and drafty buildings. The hood serued simultaneously as a head couering, a repository for coins and alms and the Jorerunner of the modern day book bag.The hood was adorned with the colors oJ the university and designated the young scholar's school or university ffiliation. By their distinctiue clothing the students were set apart and distinguished Jrom the citizens of the town; hence the origin oJ the phrase "town and gown." and universities adopted the wearing of the traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common code Jor academic apparel was established in the mid-nineteenth century. American colleges The hood is the most distinctiuefeature of academic regalia.The inside of the hood is lined with the fficial colors of the institution; today you seeWilkes graduates wearing hoods lined with the blue and gold colors of the [Jniuersity.The ueluet trim around the outside of the hood designates the degree orfield oJ study of the graduates.The velvet colors worn by today\ graduates signifu the following : GoldenYellow White Drab Pink - Science Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration Music The style of the gown distinguishes graduates by the degree they haue earned. Those earning the bachelor\ degree wear a simple black gown with elongated pointed sleeues. Holders of the master's degree wear gowns with a longer, closed, square cut sleeve.The doctoral gown is trimmed with veluet stripes on the sleeves and panels oJuelvet on thefront closure of the gown. SomeAmerican universities have adopted doctoral gowns in their distinctive colors.You will notice the slate of Columbia, the red of Cornell, the burgundy of the Uniuersity of Pennsyluania, the bright blue of the Uniuersity of Michigan. Tb haue earned the priuilege oJ wearing academic costume regalia signifies not only the completion of a program of *udies, but entrance into the comradery of scholarship. 22 �ARNAUD C.

Presidential Chain of Office The mace and the presidential chotn of olfice used in academic celebratrons represent trdditions dating to the sateenth century. The mace symbolizes the authoity of the universig and the chain of office designates the presidentialleadershrp of the academy. The Wilhes lJniv ersity mace and preside ntial charn oJ office w ere glfts of tocal donors and were first used in 1970 at the inauguration oJ the second president oJ Wilhes. They were designed by Ottie Hill Chwaleh '61 and executed by Kurt Matzdorf , a nanonally recognized gold and silversmith from the State Universi$ of New Yorh at New PaltZ. TheUniversity Mace The sterling silyer mace has a gilt hnob at its base and a gllt circle at the top bearing the insciption "wilhes college 1933." The bowl, nsing above the nech oJ the mace, signiJies Wilhrcs-Barre\ role as a melting pot, Jorming a new and vigorous community oJ people from many difJerent bachgrounds. This theme is reiterated in the inscnption oJ the IJnittersity\ motto "Ilnity Amidst Dittersity" which surrounds the upper part oJ the bowl. The glttflame symbolizes the enlightenment gainedfromhigher education, while the piece of anthracite coal set in the center of the Jlame commemorates the oi$n of the Unfuersity in a community hnown for its coal miningpat. ThePresidential Chain of Office The Presidential Aain of Office, created Jrom sterling silter, has alternatingbowls oJ the mace . On the Jront of the four-foot chain hangs gilt seal oJ Withes which is suspended from a cluster of oah leaves with acorns, suggesting the strength and sturdiness oJ Juture generations. On the bach of the Presidential Chain of Olfice is a silver portrait oJ Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the Jirst President of Wlkes. Dr. Farley's portraitis surroundedby gllt oahleaves commemoratinghis strongleadershrp and giltJlames, repeating the motiJ a of the emer glng institution. ��AMERICA, :[IIE BEAUTIFUL O beautiful for spaaous shire, for amber waves oJ grain, purple mountdir-l6dscs abov e the fruited plain. on thee, Ameica!

The established community of scholars prouen scholars - the Faculty the Graduates - the newest group of conuene to recognize fficially and welcome them inJellowship. Craduates don the attire thatfor years has symbolized scholaily attainment. During the MiddleAges those seeking an education traueled to European centers of learning. Centers of learning and universities were closely allied with the clerics of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to that worn by the clergy.This euolued into the academic unform, a long which proued usefulfor studying in unheated and drafty buildings. The hood served simultaneously as a head cottering, a repository for coins 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 ffiliation, By their distinctive clothing black gown, hood, and cap, the students were set apart and distinguished the phrase from the citizens of the town; hence the origin of "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-nineteenth century. The hood is the most dktinctiue Jeature oJ academic regalia. The inside oJ the hood k lined with the ofuial colors of the institution; today you seeWilkes graduates wearing hoods lined with the blue and gold colors of the Uniuersity.The ueluet trim around the outside of the hood designates the degree or field of study of the graduates.The uelvet colors worn by today\ graduates signify the following: GoldenYellow White Drab Brown Oliue Blue Apricot - Science Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration Fine Arts Pharmacy Education Nursing The style of the gown dktinguishes graduates by the degree they haue earned. Those earning the bachelor\ degree wear a simple black gown with elongated pointed sleeves. Holders of the master's degree wear gowns with a longer, closed, square cut sleeve.The doctoral gown is trimmed with uelvet stripes on the sleeues and panels of ueluet on thefront closure of the gown. Some American uniuersities haue adopted doctoral gowns in their distinctiue colors.You will notice the slate oJ Columbia, the red of Cornell, the burgundy of the University of Pennsyluania, the bright blue of the University of Michigan. Tb haue earned the privilege of wearing academic costume regalia signffies not only the completion oJ a program of studies, but entrance into the comradery of scholarship. 17 �The Llniversity Mace and Presidential Chain of Office The mace and the presidential chain of ofrn used in academic celebrations represent traditions dating to the sixteenth century.The mace symbolizes the authority of the uniuersity and the chain of ffice designates the presidential leadership of the academy. The Wilkes fJniuersity mace and presidential chain of ffice were Stfts of local donors and were first used in 1970 at the inauguration of the second president ofWilkes.They were designed by Ottie Hill Chwalek '67 and executed by Kurt Matzdo$ a nationally recognized gold and silversmithfrom the State Uniuersity of NewYork at New Paltz. The Unhtersity Mace The sterling siluer mace has a gilt knob at its base and a gilt circle at the top bearing the inscription "Wilkes College 1933."The bowl, rising above the neck of the mace, signifies Wilkes-Barre's role as a melting ytot,forming a new and uigorous community of people from many dffirent backgrounds. This theme is reiterated in the inscription of the (Jniversity\ motto "(Jnity Amid* Diuersity" which surrounds the upper part of the bowl.The giltfiame symbolizes the enlightenment gained from higher education, while the piece of anthracite coal set in the center of the fiame comtnemorates the origin of the Uniuersity in a community knoum for i* coal mining past. The Prcsidential Chain of Office The Presidential Chain of Ofice, created Jrom steiling siluer, has alternating bowls and gilt fiames, repeating the motif of the mace. On the front oJ the four-Joot chain seal of Wilkes which is suspended from a cluster of oak. leaues with acorns, sugesting the strength and sturdiness of future generations. On the back of the Presidential Chain of Ofice is a silver portrait of Dr. Eugene S, Farley, the first President of Wilkes hangs a gilt Dr. Farley\ portrait is surrounded by gilt oak leaues commemorating his strong leadership the emerging institution. 18 of �ARNAUD C.

The established community oJ scholars the Faculty conyene to recognize officially the newest group proven oJ scholars the Graduates and welcome them in Jellowship. Graduates don the attire that for years has symbolized scholarly attainment. - - - Duing the Mddle Ages those seehing an education traveled to European centers oJ learning. Centers oJ learning and universities were closely allied with the clencs of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to thdt worn by the clerg. This evolyed into the academicuniform, alongblachgown,hood, andcap,whichprottedusefulJor studying in unheated and drafty buildings. The hood served simultaneously as ahead coveing, a repository for coins and alms and the t'orerunner of the modern day booh bag. The hood was adorned with the colors of the university and designated the young scholar\ school or university affiliation. By their dtstrnct:e clotllnngthe students were set apart and disnnguished from the citizens of the town;hence the ongln of the phrase "town and gown." Amencan colleges and uniyersities adopted the weonng of the traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common code Jor academic apparel was established in the midnineteenth century. The hood is the most distinctive Jeature of academic regalia. The inside of the hood is lined with the fficial colors of the institution; today you see Wilhes graduates weanng hoods lined with the blue and gold colors of the Unitersity. The velvet tnm around the outside oJ thehood designates the degree or of study oJ the graduates. The yelyet colors field wornby today's graduates signtJy the following: GoldenYellow Wlnte Drab Pinh Brown Olive Blue - Science Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration Music Fine Arts Pharmacy Education The style of the gown distinguishes graduatesby the degree they haw earned. Those earning the bachelorl degree wear d sirnple blach gown with elongated pointed sleeyes. Holders oJ the master's degree wedr gowns with a longer, closed, squdre cut sleeye. The doctoral gown is tnmmed with velvet stnpes on the sleeves and panels of wlvet on the Jront closure of the gown. Some Ameican universities have adopted doctoral gowns in their distinctive colors. You will notice the slate of Columbia, the red oJ Cornell, the burgundy oJ the University of Pennsylvania, thebnghtblue of the Uni,,tersity of Michigan. To have earned the pnvilege oJ weanng academic costume regalia signifies not only the cornpletion oJ a program of studies, but entrance into the comradery oJ scholarship. 45 :t. �The University Mace and Presidential Chain of Office The mace and the presidurttal charn oJ ffice used in academic celebrattons represent stxteenth century. The mace symbolizes the authoity of the university and the charn of olfce designates the presidentialleadership oJ the academy. traditions dating to tie TheWllhes[Jniversity mace andpresidential chain of fficewere gifts oJlocal donors and were first used in 1970 at the inauguration of the second president oJ Wilhes.

TheUnivercity Mace The sterling silyer moce has a gllthnob at its base and a gllt circle at the top beaing the insciption "wilhes college 1933." The bowl, ising abow the nech of the mace, signifies Wilhes-Barres role as a melting pot, Jorming a new and vigorous community oJ piople from many differentbachgrounds. This theme is reiteratedin the inscnption oJ the Unwerstty\ motto "inity Amidst Diversity" which sunounds the upper part oJ the bowl. The glltJlame symbolizes the enlightenment gainedJromhigher education, while the piece oJ anthracite coal set in the center of the Jlame commemorates the ongn of the University in a community hnown Jor its coal mining past.

DOCTOR OF IAWS.. ln his poem, The Rainbow, William Wordsworth wrote, "The Child is Father of the Man." To Wordsworth's point, your description of your eatly yeats living in public housing in Mount Clemens, Michigan makes clear how your experiences have shaped who you are and what you value. Growing up as one of eight children, you have always been a caretaher and a role model. An exemplary work ethic, a passion for education, the most positive of ourlooks, and indomitable faith in the power of the individual are traits that have sus[ained you your whole life. As the first in your family to attend co1lege, your early determination and hard work led you to Harvard University and eventually to the Boalt HaIl School of Law at the University of California/Berkeley. Teaching in Kenya after law school was formative and cemented your conviction that young people musr be provided the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. Your current work as Chief of the Juvenile Unit for the Defender Association of Philadelphia and service as President of the Juvenile Defender Association of Pennsylvania are testaments to that ideal. Your keen insights and understanding of complexities that come only from first-hand experience have made you a leader who has contributed significantly to the advancement of juvenile justice in our Commonwealth and across our nation. Your distinguished service on the Interbranch Commission on Juvenile Justice will have a profound impact on future generations of young people growing up in Luzerne County The vision and leadership you brought to the work of the Commission has resulted in recommendations designed to guard against any further misuse of our justice system and wili help ensure that our laws are applied in fairness to every resident of Pennsylvania. You and your fe1low Commissioners remind us in your report that "Preservalion of democracy depends on the preservation of the ru1e of 1aw, and if we cannot have confidence in the fairness and honesty of those who make. apply and enforce our laws, then democracy itself is at risk." With admiration and great appreciation for the life you 1ead, we celebrate today your contributions to public policy and the law, and your distinctive service to the cilizenry of Pennsylvania. By the power vested in me by the Board of Tiuslees of Wilkes University and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I confer upon you, Robert L. Listenbee, the doctorate of laws, honoris causa, with all the rights and privileges thereto appertaining. �AWARDS THE MABLE SCOTT WANDELL AND STERLING LEROY WANDELL AWARDS ........ .MArrHEw J.

Graduates don the Graduates the attire that for years has symbolized scholarly attdinmenL of proven scholars Duing the Middle Ages those seehing an education trayeled to European centers oJ learning. Centers of learning and uniyersities were closely allied with the cleics of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to that worn by the clergy. This eyolved into th e ac ademic uniJ o r m, a I ong bl ach gow n, ho o d, and c ap, which p r ov e d us eful fo r s tudy ing in unheated and drafty buildings. Thehood sewed simultaneously as ahead cownng, a repository Jor coins and alms and the Jorerunner of the modern day boohbag. The hood wasadornedwiththe colorsoJthe university anddesignatedthe youngscholar\schoolor universig affiliatton. By their distinct:e clothingthe studentswere set apart and distinguished Jrom the cittzens oJ the town;hence the ongln oJ the phrase "town and gown."

TheUniversity Mace The sterling silyer mace has a gilthnob at its base and a gilt circle at the top beaing the inscnption "Wilhes College 1933." The bowl, nsing abow the nech of the mace, signifies Wilhes-Barre\ role as a melting pot, forming a new and vigorous community oJ people Jrom many difJerent bachgrounds. This theme is reiterated in the insciption of the IJniversity\ motto "IJnity Amidst Ditersity" which surrounds the Wper part oJ thebowl.
