BnucT DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS Retiring as President after twenty years, Robert J. Bruce has transformed Widener University academically, physically and financially. He has brought a unity of spirit and focus to a new university, built upon the foundations of six earlier institutions going back to 1821, most recently the Pennsylvania Military College. Renamed Widener University in 1979, the institution includes three campuses in two states, Pennsylvania and Delaware. President Bruce has fostered the development of 150 programs of study leading to the associate's, bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree. Building the endowment from $1.3 million in 1981 to nearly $40 million today, he has also invested $100,000,000 in new and improved physical facilities. Widener University is now classified by the Carnegie Foundation as a Doctoral/Research University-Intensive institution. Born and raised in Massachusetts, President Bruce earned an A.B. degree from Colby College in Maine in 1959, an M.A. from the University of Massachusetts at Boston in 1964, and an (Hon) L.H.D. from Wdener in 1992. He received a Fulbright Fellowship to study in England in 19641965 and taught history at both the school and college levels for six years before becoming an educational administrator in development at Colby College in 1965. After six years at Bard College, including a stint as Interim President, he came to then Widener College in 1975 as Vice President for Development, becoming President two years after Widener became a university in 1981. His service to Colleges and Universities both in Pennsylvaniaand the nation includes chairmanships of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Universities and the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, as well as service on the national President's Commission of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. He has served as a director on corporate boards and presently is chairman of the Crozer-Keystone Health System in Chester, combining five hospitals with a $600,000,000 annual budget. President Bruce is a husband, father and grandfather as well as a sailor and will reside during his retirement in Pennsylvania and Maine. �DOCTOR'S DEGREE CANDIDAIE Doctor of Pharmacy *f Maura Elizabeth Caseg IIIASTER'S DEGREE CANDIDAIES lVlaster of Business Administration Degree *'a'f Nelson Mark Braslow *'a a Koren B.

The mace sym- bolizes the authority of the uniuersitg and the chain of office designates the presidential leadership of the academg. The Wilkes Uniuersity Mace and Presidential Chain of Office were gifts of local donors and were first used in 1970 at the inauguration of the second president of Wilkes. Theg were designed bg Ottie Hill Chualek'61 and executed bg Kurt Matzdorf, a nationallg recognized gold and siluersmith from the State Uniuersity of New York at New Paltz. The Uniaersitg 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 aboue the neck of the mace, signifies Wilkes-Barreb role os a melting pot, forming a neu and uig- orous community of people from mang different backgrounds. This theme is reiterated in the insuiption of the Uniuersitgb motto "Unity Amidst Diuersity" which surrounds the upper part of the bowl. The gilt flame symbolizes the enlightenment gained from higher education, while ihe piece ofinthricite coal set in the center of the flame commemorates the origin of the Uniuersity in a communitg lmown for its coal mining past. The Presidential Chain of Office The Presidcntial Chain of Office, created from sterling siluer, has altemating bowls and gilt flames, repeating the motif of the mace. On the front of the four-foot chain hangs a gilt seal of Wilkes which is suspended from a cluster of oak leaues with acoms, suggesting the strength and sturdiness of future generations. On the back of the Presidential Chain of Office is a siluer portrait of Dr. Eugute S. Farley, the first President of Wlkes. Dr. Farleyb portrait is surrounded by gilt oak leaues commetnorating his strong leadership of the emerging institution. ���AIIIERIGA, THE BEAI'TIFUL O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waues of grain, For purple mountoin majesties aboue the fruited plain.

The conuene to recognize the Facultg established communitg of scholars and welcome the Graduates officiattg the newest group of prouut scholars scholgears symbolized has for that attire don the them fetlowship. Graduates - i - - - arlg attainment. During the Middle Ages those seeking an education traueled to European centers oilearning. Centers of learning and uniuersities were closelg allied uith the clerics of thelime, and the scholars donned garb similar to that wom bg the clergg. This euolued into the academic uniform, a long black gown, hood, and ioA"*nirn proued useful for studying in unheated and drafty buildings. The hood serued simultaneously as a head couering, a repositorg for coirx and alms and the forerunner of the modern day book bag. The hood was adomed with the colors of the uniuersitg and designated the goung scholar\ school or uniuersitg affiliation. Bg their distinctiue clothing the students were set apart and distinguished from the citizens of the town; hence the origin of the phrase "toutn ond gou)n." Americon colleges and uniuersities adopted the wearing of the traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common code for academic opparel was established in the mid'nineteenth centurg. The hood is the most distinctiue feature of academic regalia. The inside of the hood is tined with the official colors of the institution; today you see Wilkes 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 studg of the graduates. The ueluet colors worn bg todag's graduates signify the following: GoldenYellow White Drab - Science Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration or Health Administration Pink -Music Fine Arts Broutn Oliue -PharmacY of the goum distinguishes graduates bg the degree they haue eamed.

The mace symbolizes the authoritg of the uniuersity and the chain of office designates the presidential leadership of the academy. The Wlkes t-lniuersitg mace and presidential chain of office were gifts of local donors and were first used in 1970 at the inauguration of the second president of Wilkes. Theg were designed bg Ottie Hill Chwalek '61 and executed by Kurt Matzdorf, a nationally recognized gold and siluersmith from the State Uniuersitg of New York at New Paltz, New Paltz, New York. The Uniaersity Moce 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 aboue the neck of the mace, signifies Wilkes-Barre's role as a melting pot, forming a neu and uigorous communitg of people from manu different backgrounds. This theme is reiterated in the inscription of the Uniuersityb motto "Unitg Amidst Diuersity" which surrounds the upper part of the bowl. The gilt flome sgmbolizes 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 community known for its coal mining past. The The Presidentiol 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 fourfoot 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. Eugme S. Farley, the first President of Wilkes. Dr. Farlegb portrait is surrounded bU gilt oak leaues commemorating his strong leadership of the emerging institution. 24 �FENNER QUADRANGLE FIRST AID Medical personnel are available for first aid assistance and - emergencies.

Polux DOCTOR OF LAWS A renowned educator, scholar and jurist, you have dedicated much of your life in distinguished service to advance the cause of civil rights in this country. A graduate of Harvard Coilege and the Yale Law School, you served as law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Wiley Rutledge; worked as associate counsel for Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison, at the time the only interfaith, interracial Wall Street law firm; provided counsel for the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union; served as an attomey for the United States Deparrment of State and special assistant to Ambassador-at-large, Phillip Jessup; at both Yale and the University of Pennsylvania you were appointed Professor and Dean of their presrigious law schools; and now sit as Judge for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of PA, appointed by President Carter in 1978. A council member for the American Law Institute since l97B and vice president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund for seven years, you have written scores o[ respected legai articles and a two-volume history of the Constitution and the Supreme Court. Having argued cases before the United States Supreme Court and authored or shared authorship in numerous briefs for cases argued before the Supreme Court, you have had a unique opportunity to contrlbute to the development and reform of the law in the United States. A recent Philadelphia Magazirre cover story named you one of the 76 smartest Philadelphians. A prominent litigator quoted in the article described you as, "The sweetest, state, federal, trial or most scholarly and intellectual judge on the Pennsylvania bench - appeal." Devoted husband ro your lovely wife Katherine, thisJuly you will celebrate 50 years of marriage. Father of five daughters and grandfather of eight, you have lived your extraordinary life always with a family-first philosophy In the last 50 years of our country's history, few have been eyewitness to civil rights reform with the same vantage point as yours. As a member of Thurgood Marshall's inner circle, you were an architect o[ the strategy and shared in writing the brief, for the argument ol Brown v. Board of Education before the United States Supreme Court in 1954. The case launched the modern civil rights movement and led to other court decisions that struck down all forms of legalized racial discrimination. Your commitmen[ to civil rights and liberties took you again and again to the battlegrounds o[unrest in the 1960's. You were there for the Birmingham Boycott in 1963 to help mediate a settlement, and in Montgomery to intervene with theJustice Department on behalf of the Freedom Riders. Public service takes many shapes and forms in our country and occurs at every level of our society, from grassroots activities to the senior levels of our national govemment. Although the level and scope of activity may differ, what is common among those most successful is that they place the interests of others ahead of their own. ln this respect, you have been exemplar. You have dedicated your life to improve the human condition and refute injustice.

Cosnv You return to your native Pennsylvania today known the world over as a genius entertainer, but also as a glfted educaror, a visionary philanthropist and a committed social justice and civil rights activist. ln a career that has spanned five different decades, few entertainers have performed so brilliantly and had such a profound impact on their own national culture. Born and raised in Philadelphia, we leamed much about the challenges and hijinks of your youth through the chronicles you shared of life with Fat Albert, Old Weird Harold, Dumb Donald, Weasel and the rest of the Cosby Kids. Completing your high school education through a correspondence course while in the United States Nalry', you became a distance learner long before it became the popular and preferred vehicle for lifelong leaming that it is today Following your discharge from the service, you retumed to Philadelphia and enrolled at Temple University where you completed your undergraduate degree, and where work and school provided forums for you to reveal your gift of bringing laughter to people's lives. Begrnning your entertainment career as a stand-up comedian you soon made your way to media where you have enjoyed unparalieled the recording studio and then on to television success. Your portrayal of Alexander Scott on "I Spy," in the mid 1960's, was groundbreaking, as you were the first black actor to play the lead role in a television dramatic series. Your most successful series, "The Cosby Show," has been described as archetypal in is positive portrayal of African-American family life. You have broken attendance records at Radio Ciry Music Hall and are an influential force in the publishing world. Your 1986 book, Fatherhood, became the - fastest selling hardcover of all time. With more than 20 albums recorded, you have eamed eight Gold Records and four Grammy Awards. You have won numerous Emmy and People's Choice Awards and the prestigious Springam Medal from the NAACP You were awarded the Pennsylvania Society's Gold Medal, and honored by the Kennedy Center for your lifetime achievement. ln 1994 you were inducted into the Academy of Television Ars and Sciences Hall of Fame and were awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2002. Success as an entertainer afforded you the opportunity to pursue graduate study at the Uni.versity of Massachusetts-Amherst, where you eamed both masters and doctoral degrees. Your educational endeavors have always encouraged the healthy and emotional growth of children and their families. Your dedication to young people and your passion for lifelong learning command the respect and admiration of parents and professional educators alike. Your educational vision is equaled by the commitment you and your wife, Camille, have made to disadvantaged young people by assuring that finances and educational services not impede their opportunity for success. You are advocates of African-American an and curators of its excellence. Your perpetuating gifts to Education and the Arts assure that future generations are able to appreciate and learn from their cultural heritage. By sharing your time, talent and treasure you seek the goodness in all young people so their knowledge and talent, their hopes and dreams, may be transformed into deeds and action that strengthen community, that preserve and grow knowledge, and affirm the dignity of all individuals. Every culture needs its stoqrtellers, and you are one of ours. The values you extol transcend generations and serve to remind us of the common good in all of us. Through your spoken and written words, we have come to understand and appreciate the joy and tears that can accompany our daily successes and challenges. Yours is a positive message that enables persons and groups to look past barriers and achieve their fu1l potential. With admiration and great appreciation for the life you lead, we celebrate today your wisdom, your vision, and your compasslon. By the power vested in me by the Board of Tiustees of Wilkes University, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I hereby confer upon you, William H. Cosby, the doctorate of humane letters, Honoris Causa, with all the rights and privileges thereto appertaining. �ti AMARDS THE MABLE SCOTT WANDELL AND STERLING LEROY WANDELL AWARDS SaneH LucH BnaNor '04 Emc P Eurslsn'04 Nu<olrJ.

The established community of scholars the Faculty conyene to recognize fficially the newest group oJ proven scholars the Graduates and welcome them in fellowshrp. Graduates don the attire thatfor yearshas symbolized scholarly dttainment. - - - Dunng the Middle Ages those seehing an education traveled to European centers oJ learning. Centers of learning and uniyersities were closely allied with the clencs of the time , andthe scholars donned garb similar to thatwornby the clergy. This evolvedinto the academic uniform, alongblach gown,hood, and cap, which proved useful Jor studyingin unheated and'draJty buildings. Thehood seryed simultaneously as ahead coveing, a coins and alms and the t'orerunner oJ the modern day boohbag. The hood was adorned with the colors of the university and designated the young scholar\ school or repository Jor unitersity ffiliation. By their distinctive clothing the students were set apart and distinguishedfrom the citizens oJ the town;hence the ongin of the phrase "town and gown." Amencan colleges and uniyersities adopted the weanng of the traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common code t'or academic apparel was established in the midnineteenth century. The hood is the most distinctive feature of academic regalia. The inside of the hood is lined with the official colors oJ the institution; today you see Wilhes graduates weaing hoods lined with the blue and gold colors oJ the tJniversig. The velvet tnm around the outside of the hood designates the degree or field oJ study of the graduates. The velvet colors wornby today\ graduates signtfu the following: GoldenYellow 'White Drab Pinh Brown Olive - Science Afts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration Music Fine Arts Pharmacy The style oJ the gown distinguishes graduatesby the degree they haw earned. Those earning the bachelor\ degree wear d simple blach gown with elongated pointed sleeves. Holders oJ the master's degree wear gowns with alonger, closed, squore cut slene. The doctoral gown is timmed with velyet stipes on the sleeves and panels of ttelvet on the front closure of the gown. Ameican uniyersities haye adopted doctoral gowns in their distinctiye colors. lJnitersig of Pennsylttania, the bnghtblue of the lJniversig oJ Michigan.

The mace symbolizes the authoity of the university and the chain of ffice designates the presidentialleadershtp oJ the academy. The Wilhes lJnitersity mace and presidential chain of olfice were glfts oJ local donors and were first used in 1970 at the inauguration oJ the second president of Wilhes. They were designed by Ottie Hill Chwaleh'61 and executed by lturt MatzdorJ, a nationdlly recognized gold and sihersmith t'rom the State Universi$ of New Yorh at New Paltz. TheUnfuersity Mace The sterling silyer mace has a gilthnob at its base and a gllt circle at the top beaing the insciption "Wilhes College 1933." The bowl, ising above the nech oJ the mace , signioJ people fies Wilhes-Barre\ role as a meltingpot, t'orming a new and vigorous community from many difJerent bachgrounds. This theme is reiterated in the insciption oJ the IJniversig\ motto "IJnity Amidst Diversity" which surrounds the upper part of the bowl. The gtlt flame symbolizes the enlightenment gained fromhigher education, while the piece of anthracite coal set in the center oJ the flame commemorates the ongin oJ the Universi$ in a communig hnown Jor its coal mining past. The Presidential Chain of Office The Presidential Chain oJ OfJice, created t'rom sterling silver, has alternatingbowls and gllt flames, repeating the motiJ of the mace. On the Jront of the Jour-Joot chainhangs a gilt seal oJWilheswhichis suspendedfrom a cluster of oahleaveswith acorns, sugesting the strength and sturdiness of Juture generations. On the bach oJ the Presidential Chain oJ Office is a silver portrait of Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the first President oJ Wilhes.

Degree in absentia �The University Mace and Presidential Chain of Oflice The mace and the presidential chain of office used in academic celebranons represent traditions dating to the sateenth century. The mace symbolizes the authonty of the uni- versity and the chain of offrce designates the presidennal leadership of the academy. The Wilhes Univ ersity mace and presidential chain of office w ere g$ts oJ local donors and were first used in 1970 at the inauguration oJ the second president oJ Wlhes. They were designed by Ottie Hill Chwalek '61 and executed by Kurt MatzdorJ, a nationally recognized gold and silversmithfrom the State University oJ New Yorh atNev Paltz. TheUniyerity Mace The sterling silver mace has a gllt hnob at its base and a gllt circle at the top bearing the inscnption"Wilhes College 1933." Thebowl, nsingabow the nech of the mace, signiJies Wilhes-B arre\ role as a melttng p ot, f orming a new and vigorous community of p eople from many dilferent bachgrounds. This theme is reiterated in the inscription oJ the IJniversity\ motto "tJnity Amidst Diterslty" which surrounds the Wper part of the bowl. The giltJlame symbolizes the enlightenment gainedJromhigher education, while the piece of anthracite coal set in the center of the Jlame commemordtes the ongln oJ the lJnitersity in a community known for its coal mining past. ThePresiilential Chain of Office The Presidennal Chain oJ Office, created from sterling silver, has alternatingbowls and $lt Jlames, repeating the motiJ of the mace. On the front oJ the four-Joot chain hangs a gllt seal of Wilhes which is suspendedfrom a cluster of oahleayes with acorns, sugesttng the strength and sturdiness of future generations. On thebach of the Presidential Chain of OlJice is a silver portrait oJ Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the first President of Wtlhes. Dr. Farley s portraitis surroundedby glt oahli,eaves commemoratinghis strongleadershrp of the emerg- inginstitution. ��AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL O beauttjul Jor spocious shies, Jor amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain.

The established community oJ scholars the Faculty conyene to recognize fficially the nauest group of proven scholars the Graduates andwelcome them infellowshtp. Graduates don the attire that for years has symbolized scholarly attainment. - - Dunng the Middle - Ages those seehing an education trayeled to European centers of learning. Centers of learning and universities were closely allied with the clencs of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to that worn by the clergy. This evolved into the academic uniJorm, alongblach gown, hood, and cap , which proved useful for studying in unheated and draJty bulldings. The hood seryed simultaneously as ahead coveing a repository for coins and alms and the Jorerunner of the modern day booh bag. The hood was,qdornedwith the colors oJ the university and designated the youngscholar\ school or university ffiliation. By their distinctive clothing the students were set dpart and distinguished Jrom the citizens oJ the town; hence the ongin oJ the phrase "town and gown." Amencan colleges and universities adopted the weanng of the traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common code Jor academic apparel wds established in the midnineteenth century. The hood is the most distinctive feature of academic regalia. The inside oJ the hood islinedwith the fficial colors of the institution; today you seeWilkes gradudtes weanng hoods lined with the blue and gold colors of the lJnittersity. The yelyet tim around the outside of thehood designates the degree or f.eld oJ study of the graduates. The yelyet colors wornby today's graduates sryrb the t'ollowing: GoldenYellow Drab Pinh Brown Olive White Science Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration Music Fine Arts Pharmacy The style of the gown distinguishes graduatesby the degree they have earned. Those earning the bachelor's degree wedr a simple blach gown with elongated pointed sleeyes. Holders oJ the master's degree wedr gowns vtith alonger, closed, square cut sleeve. The doctoral gown is timmed with velyet strtpes on the sleeyes and panels of velvet on the front closure of the gown. Some Amencan universities have adopted doctoral gowns in their distinctiye colors. You will notice the slate oJ Columbia, the red of Cornell, the burgundy of the LJniversity oJ Pennsylvania, thebrightblue oJ the lJnittersity of Michigan. To have earned the pnvilege oJ weanng academic costume regalia signifies not only the completion oJ a program of studies, but entrance into the comradery of scholarshtp. 28 �The LJniversity Mace and Presidential Chain of Office The mace and the presidentiol chcun oJ ffice used in academic celebrations represent traditions dating to the skteenth century. The mace symbolizes the authonty oJ the university and the chain oJ ffice designates the presidentialleadershrp of the academy. The Wilhes lJnittersity mace and presidential chain of ffice were giJts of local donors and were first used in 1970 at the inauguration of the second president oJ Wilhes. They were designedby Ottie Hill Chwaleh'61 and executedby \furt MatzdorJ, a nationally recognized gold and silversmith from the State lJnitersity of New Yorh ot New Paltz. TheUniversity Mace The sterling silyer mace has a gllt hnob at its base and a gllt circle at the top bearing the inscnption "Wilhes College 1933." The bowl, nsing above the nech of the mace, signifies Wilhes-Barre\ role as a melting pot, forming a new and vigorous community oJ people Jrom many diff erent bachgrounds. This theme is reiterated in the insciption of the IJniversity\ motto "IJnity Amidst Diversity" which surrounds the Wper part of the bowl. The giltJlame symbolizes the enlightenment gainedfromhigher education, while the piece of anthracite coal set in the center of the flame commemorates the ongln of the University in a community hnownfor its coal miningpast. The Presiilnrtial Chain of Office The Presidential Chain of Office, created Jrom sterling silver; has alternatingbowls and gilt Jlames, repeating the motif of the mace. On the front of the Jour-Joot chainhangs a gilt seal oJ Wilhes which is suspended Jrom a cluster of oah leaves with acorns, suggesting the strength and sturdiness oJ future generations. On the bach of the Presidential Chain of Office is a silyer portrdit oJ Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the first President of Wilhes.
