I am honored to have served as the Chairman of the Commission since January 28, 2004. Over the last 37 years the Commission has addressed through research, meetings of experts, and public hearings most of the issues that have been encountered by the American public in their quest for information to make decisions common in daily life, to participate in the democratic process, to educate their children, and to seek health care for themselves and their families. We have studied the relationship of students’ academic achievements to the presence of a school library media center and a school librarian. We have looked at the role of information in innovation and research and in daily commerce, before the Internet existed, and since it has become the most used way to retrieve and send information. We have sent recommendations to the President and the Congress in our reports and in our visits. We have seen changes in law affected as we recommended. This will be the final report from the U.S. National Commission on Library and Information Science. I contracted this work when we were seeking advice to assist the Commissioners in deciding the research issues we would undertake during the fiscal year. As events unfolded during the past few months, it became clear that the report needed to serve two functions: (1) to document the history and accomplishments of the Commission and (2) to remind the public and those who take up this mantle that the work of the Commission is not done. A compelling future agenda for information policy research and development is also presented as part of this report. I salute the Commissioners, both former and current, who have served with distinction throughout the life of the Commission and thank the staff for their dedication and hard work on behalf of the American public. The Commission has been led by extraordinarily gifted men and women, and I have been privileged to have been advised by them and count them as my friends.

  • Fall 2018 Commencement Program Book
    DECEMBER 15, 2018 Bud Walton Arena • Fayetteville, Arkansas Alma Mater Pure as the dawn on the brow of thy beauty Watches thy soul from the mountains of God Over the Fates of thy children departed Far from the land where their footsteps have trod. Beacon of Hope in the ways dreary lighted; Pride of our hearts that are loyal and true; From those who adore unto one who adores us— Mother of Mothers, we sing unto you. We, with our faces turned high to the Eastward Proud of our place in the vanguard of Truth, Will sing unto thee a new song of thanksgiving— Honor to God and the Springtime of Youth. Shout for the victory or tear for the vanquished; Sunshine or tempest thy heart is e’er true; Pride of the hills and the white-laden Lowlands— Mother of Mothers, we kneel unto you. Ever the Legions of Sin will assail us, Even the Battle in Cities afar; Still in the depth will thy Spirit eternal Beckon us on like a piloting Star. Down the dim years do thy dead children call thee, Wafted to sleep while the Springtime was new; We, of the Present, thy Hope of the Future— Mother of Mothers, we pray unto you. 2 3 Contents: Commencement Program – 4 The Academic Procession – 5 The Official Party – 6 University Traditions and Academic Regalia – 7 Degree Candidates – 10 Past Honorary Degree Recipients – 47 Board of Trustees – 49 Colleges: Graduate School and International Education – 9 School of Law – 19 Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences – 21 Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design – 25 J.
