Robert Compton has provided executive leadership, fmancial support and new venture expertise leading to the growth of successful businesses ranging from an international medical device company to more than a dozen new technology firms. He began his career with Telenet Communications before joining the IBM Corp. as a systems engineer. After earning an MBA from the Harvard Business School, Compton served as director of sales and marketing for Boston-based Zoom Telephonics, which was started at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He entered the venture capital business as an investment manager with First Chicago Venture Capital. Four years later, Compton joined CID Equity Partners in Indianapolis. As a general partner, Compton was involved in financing and building new high-technology companies throughout the Midwest.

In 1997, Compton became group president for operations of Sofamor Danek Group, a medical device company in Memphis, Tenn. He was subsequently promoted to president and chief operating officer. With more than $400 million in sales, Sofamor Danek became the world's largest supplier of medical devices, computer-assisted surgery products and biologics for spinal surgery. The company was purchased by Medtronic, Inc. and Compton was named president of the Medtronic Neurologic Technologies division. That division was a market leader in cranial neurosurgery with $190 million in sales.

Compton is now investing in and mentoring very early stage technology companies. He serves as chairman of four private companies-Mezzia, Nolnk Communications, ExactTarget and Sci-Tech Adventures. Compton is on the Board of Directors of several non-profit organizations involved in national efforts to improve education and promote entrepreneurship. They include the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, the Kauffman Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership, Interactive Academy, and Exchange City USA. In 1994, he was presented with the Chauncey Rose Medal by Rose-Hulman for his contributions to the American free enterprise system. In 1996, he was elected to the Rose-Hulrnan Board of Trustees.

Doctor of Engineering B. Guille Cox, Jr. Senior Partner-Cox, Zwerner, Gambill & Sullivan Terre Haute, Indiana

A member of the Rose-Hulrnan Board of Trustees since 1985, Guille Cox served as chairman of the board from 1995 to 2001. He was vice chairman of the board and chairman of its executive committee for five years. He is part of a family legacy of dedicated support to Rose-Hulman_that dates back to the founding of the college. One of his ancestors, Josephus Collett, drafted the documents establishing the institute and was chairman of the Board of Managers, the governing body of the college. Another ancestor, Robert Sayre Cox, served on the Board for several years just after the turn of the century. Guille Cox's father, Benjamin, served for seven years until 1975 as chairman of the Rose-Hulman Board of Managers, and was instrumental in assisting with the transfer of the Bulman Foundation gift to the college. During Guille's tenure as the Board's vice chairman, he helped lead the institute in the transition to coeducation, and assisted in doubling the size of the campus. While Cox was Board Chairman, Rose-Hulman achieved unprecedented campus facility improvements, success in fund-raising, and the college earned its first No. 1 ranking in its educational category in U.S. News & World Report. Two more consecutive No. 1 rankings by the magazine were achieved during his term as chairman.

Cox earned a bachelor of science degree in physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1968. He received a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from the Harvard Law School in 1971. He returned to his hometown of Terre Haute in 1971 to begin his law career with Cox, Zwerner, Gambill & Sullivan where he is now a senior partner. Cox has earned the highest possible professional rating by his peers in Martindale Hubbell. His law practice is in estate planning, trusts, probate, business and real estate law. Cox serves as chairman of the Board for Hendrich Title Co., the largest title company in west central Indiana. He is a member of the Board of Directors of First Financial Corp. and its chief subsidiary, Terre Haute First National Bank, where he is chairman of its trust committee.

Scott Jones and the companies he has developed have made significant contributions to technology worldwide. He is a pioneer in the development of voice-message technologies, and a leader in Indiana's efforts to improve the business environment to promote the growth of high-tech companies in Indiana. Jones co-founded and chaired until 1992 his first company, Boston Technology, which became very successful using patented voice-messaging technologies. The company merged with Comverse Technologies resulting in a multibillion dollar company whose products continue to rely on Jones' patented technologies.

At the helm of Indianapolis-based Escient Technologies, Jones applies his business and technical expertise toward leading a company that is merging Internet power with electronic appliances and devices. Escient Technologies, which Jones co-founded in 1996, is a high-technology management company that channels promising new technologies into strategic positions in the marketplace. Escient's five affiliate companies offer high-tech products and services for home entertainment, data storage and the Internet.

For one hundred and twenty-eight years, Rose-Hulman alumni have been making positive contributions to society as engineers and scientists. Success has not been limited to their career areas. They serve their local communities through civic organizations, youth activities and churches. Much of the recognition Rose-Hulman enjoys today is because of our alumni. Rose-Hulman graduates make an impact. Their achievements as engineers, scientists and concerned citizens translate into a reputation of quality for their alma mater. Today, we recognize the contributions of the Class of 1952 by presenting commemorative degrees to those men who have been alumni for 50 years. The diplomas they receive today honor their dedication of time and talent to their careers, society and Rose-Hulman.
