Honorary Degree Recipients

Barbara Morris Caspersen Chair, Drew University Board of Trustees, 2003–2008 Barbara Morris Caspersen G’83,‘86,‘90—one of the most generous benefactors in Drew University history—is a noted scholar of 20th-century American literature. She holds master’s and doctoral degrees from Drew’s Caspersen School of Graduate Studies, where she wrote a 300-page dissertation titled “The Flowering of Desire: Willa Cather and the Sources of Miracle.” She later donated an extensive special collection of materials on that author, making Drew a leading venue for Cather research. Her many gifts to the university include a $5 million donation to support the graduate school, which now bears her name in recognition of her generosity and leadership. She joined the Board of Trustees in 1985 and served as its chair from 2003 until 2008, when she was granted emerita status. She is credited with leading the university through the construction of the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts and with the success of the Gateways to the Future fundraising campaign. Dr. Caspersen has also given generously to support the Thomas H. Kean Visiting Lectureship, the Caspersen School Deanship, the Ph.D. program in history and culture and the renovation of S.W. Bowne Hall.

Wilbert Mitchell Executive Director, Respond Inc. Wilbert Mitchell is the founding executive director of Respond Inc., a faith-based community development organization in Camden, New Jersey, that he has led since 1960. Under his leadership, Respond Inc.—which is supported in part by the United Methodist Church—has transformed Camden by offering an array of services that help people help themselves. These include childcare for working parents; career and vocational training for the unem- ployed; job opportunities for the elderly; early career experiences for teenagers; and edu- cational programs on nutrition, literacy and household maintenance. This year alone, the organization has provided care for more than 800 children while simultaneously operating a $4.6 million job training facility. Led by Mr. Mitchell, Respond Inc. is a valued partner of Drew’s own Communities of Shalom initiative, which strives to improve the quality of life for residents in underserved regions around the world. Mr. Mitchell—who began his career as a public school teacher in the community that he now serves—holds a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Cheyney State University, and completed graduate work at Temple University, the University of Pennsylvania and Rowan University.

Edmund Daniel Pellegrino Chair, President’s Council on Bioethics, 2005–2008 President, Catholic University of America, 1978–1982 Edmund Pellegrino is a leading scholar on medicine, ethics and philosophy. The former Catholic University of America president, who was only the second layman to hold that position, served as the chair of the President’s Council on Bioethics under George W. Bush. Under his leadership, the council produced reports and white papers on important topics like human dignity, death and newborn screenings. Dr. Pellegrino is currently a professor emeritus of medicine and medical ethics at the Center for Clinical Medical Ethics at Georgetown University. He previously served as the director of the Kennedy Institute of Ethics, the Center for the Advanced Study of Ethics at Georgetown and the Center for Clinical Bioethics. Having published nearly 600 articles and chapters on how the humani- ties come to bear on medicine, he is also a prolific author. He holds a B.S. degree from St. John’s University and a M.D. from New York University. He is widely credited with inspiring the development of medical humanities, a field of study that is offered by Drew’s Caspersen School of Graduate Studies.

The Honorable Barry Todd Albin Associate Justice, New Jersey Supreme Court The Honorable Barry T. Albin is an associate justice on the New Jersey Supreme Court. He was nominated to that post first by Governor James E. McGreevey in 2002 and was selected for a second term and tenure in 2009 by Governor Jon S. Corzine. Both times, he was confirmed by a bipartisan majority in the New Jersey Senate. Prior to joining the court, Justice Albin was one of the state’s leading criminal defense attorneys, serving as a partner in the Woodbridge-based firm of Wilentz, Goldman and Spitzer. He began his career in 1976 as deputy attorney general in the Appellate Section of the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice. He went on to serve as a member of the New Jersey Supreme Court Criminal Practice Committee, and as an assistant prosecutor in Passaic and Middlesex counties from 1978 to 1982. From 1999 to 2000, he served as the president of the New Jersey Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. In 2000, he earned the distinction of being listed in “Best Lawyers in America.” As a judge on New Jersey’s highest court, Justice Albin has heard nearly 100 cases on topics that include judicial salaries, school budgets and the rights of first responders. One of his first cases was on the hotly contested New Jersey senatorial election of 2002. The court’s unanimous decision on that case was widely credited with preserving New Jerseyans’ right to choose between two political parties. In 2006, Justice Albin presided over a case that established greater legal rights, bene- fits and protections for same-sex couples in New Jersey. He authored the court’s majority opinion, which established the constitutional basis for its ruling, saying that “the unequal dispensation of rights and benefits to committed same-sex partners can no longer be toler- ated under our state Constitution.” Justice Albin was born in 1952 in Sayreville, New Jersey, and earned a bachelor’s degree from Rutgers College in 1973 and a J.D. from Cornell University in 1976. He and his wife, Inna, have two sons, Daniel and Gerald.

The University Seal The university seal was created to celebrate the institution’s new status in 1928 when the Drew Theological Seminary of the Methodist Episcopal Church added Brothers College (now the College of Liberal Arts) and changed its name to Drew University. This 1928 seal replaced an earlier one on which the words “Drew Theological Seminary 1866” encircled a bust of the school’s founder, Daniel Drew. According to the minutes of trustee meetings, design and adoption of the new seal required only two months. The seal’s designers, directed by President Ezra Squier Tipple, bequeathed no explanation of its sym- bolism, but the tree in the center surely represents Drew’s mighty oaks and the Forest, so named since before the Revolutionary War. The placement of the book, probably the Bible, on the tree suggests the Tree of Life or the Tree of Knowledge, both apt associa- tions. The Greek inscription from the New Testament, Matthew 10:8, is the university motto: “Freely have you received, freely give.” The reference to 1867 is to the beginning of instruction; Drew was not officially incorporated until 1868. From the seal’s adoption in 1868 until 1961, it was Drew’s most prominent emblem. Although the trustees designated the shield as the university’s symbol after 1961, the seal is still used on all official documents requiring it, including all diplomas.

The University Shield Adapted from those of Oxford University and two of its colleges, Lincoln and Christ Church, the Drew University shield reflects the formal education of Methodism’s founder, John Wesley. The noted 18th-century churchman was a fellow at Lincoln, an undergraduate at Christ Church and a recipient of the master of arts degree from Oxford. In the Oxford coat of arms, top left, the crowns represent faith, hope and love. The motto “the Lord is my light” appears on a book with seven seals, a reference to Revelation 5:1 and Isaiah 29:11–12. The Lincoln College coat of arms, top right, is proportioned into three panels: the arms of Bishop Fleming, the arms of the bishop of Lincoln College and the arms of Bishop Rotherham. The bottom coat of arms, of Christ Church, is that of its founder, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. The rose at the top is emblematic of the House of Lancaster. The birds are Cornish choughs (sometimes called “beckets”), the heraldic use of which was granted to Wolsey by Henry VIII. The lion represents Pope Leo X. The Greek inscription is the same as on the university seal.

The Academic Regalia One of the most colorful traditions in university life, the wearing of academic regalia had its origins in the medieval universities of Europe. There, it distinguished academic persons such as doctors, licentiates, masters and bachelors from other segments of the populace. Unheated buildings probably necessitated wearing the heavy, woolen gowns. Hoods then covered monk-scholars heads, eventually giving way to skullcaps and later to academic caps or mortarboards. American colleges and universities adopted the custom but without the strict stan- dards of the Europeans. Not until 1895 did representatives of American schools codify standards of academic dress with the establishment of the Intercollegiate Dress Code. Today, the Academic Custom Code of the American Council on Education prescribes color, shape and texture of the academic costume. The standards require long, pointed sleeves for the plain gown of bachelor’s degree recipients; long, oblong or square-cut sleeves (often with trailing “elbows”) for master’s degree recipients; and closed, bell-shaped sleeves for doctoral degree recipients. Bachelor gowns are worn closed, while master and doctoral gowns may be worn open or closed. Hoods, worn across the throat and over the shoulders, reflect the official colors of the school granting the degree, with the length of the hood ranging from three feet for the bachelor’s degree to four feet for the doctoral degree. The color of the velvet represents the wearer’s field of learning and can generally be glimpsed near the wearer’s throat, while the school colors are contained in the lining at the back of the hood. The cap’s—or mortar board’s—tassel may either be black or reflect the scholarly subject, although only doctoral recipients may have gold thread. The Academic Costume Code specifies the following discipline-color relationships: arts, letters, humanities—white; dentistry—lilac; economics—copper; education—light blue; law—purple; library science—lemon; medicine—green; music—pink; philoso- phy—dark blue; physical education—sage green; science—golden yellow; social work—citron; theology or divinity—scarlet; business administration—sapphire blue. The University Maces In medieval times a mace was a heavy staff or club used as a weapon. This use gave way in time to a symbol of authority of office, carried before officials on ceremonial occa- sions. The university’s simple wooden maces, which had been carried at commencements and in other convocations where faculty formally gathered, were lost in August 1989 in the fire that damaged Mead Hall. Twelve new maces—a grand mace, a platform mace and 10 marshals sceptres—took their place in Drew history. Carved and fashioned out of cherry wood by Trades Supervisor Ronald E. Melcher, each of the maces holds much Drew sym- bolism. On the marshals’ maces, the club-like handle yields to four petals of oak leaves rep- resenting faculty, atop which sits an acorn, symbolizing the student. On each mace are three facets bearing Drew shields, representing the three Drew schools. The major maces— one to lead the academic procession, one to lead the president’s party—are more elaborate, each sporting six shields. In addition, each has seven turnings, one for each of the original liberal arts—grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic, astronomy, geometry and music— marked by a pewter ring with the initial of the discipline.
