In the procession are administrators, faculty, distinguished guests, and regents. The order of march of candidates is as follows: Doctor of Philosophy Specialist Certificate in Educatior Doctor of Education Master's Degrees Doctor of Musical Arts A Festival Prelude ................................. Alfred Reed The National Anthem As professor of music Vern Sutton steps to the microphone, the entire audience will stand and join in singing the nationall anthem: 0, say! can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro'the perilous fight O'er ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets'red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro'the night that our flag was still there. 0, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Speaking for the Dean Robert T. Holt, Ph.D., Graduate School University Introduction of Dean Robert T.

Master's Degrees All candidates will proceed across the stage as they are presented. Presentation of Associate Dean Patricia Swan, Ph.D., will present the candidates for the Candidates for degrees of Doctor of Education, Doctor of Musical Arts, and Doctor of Doctoral Degrees Philosophy. After each new doctoral candidate has been hooded by macebearer Corbin and marshal Smith, Dean Swan will present him or her to Dean Holt. Conferring of Degrees Regent David Lebedoff, chairman of the Board of Regents, will confer certificates and degrees upon the candidates. Closing Remarks Dean Robert T. Holt Hail! Minnesota As Professor Vern Sutton steps to the microphone, the audience will rise and join in singing the University's alma mater: Minnesota, hail to thee! Like the stream that bends to sea, Hail to thee, our college dear! Like the pine that seeks the blue, Thy light shall ever be Minnesota, still for thee A beacon bright and clear; Thy sons are strong and true, Thy sons and daughters true From thy woods and waters fair, Will proclaim thee near and far; From thy prairies waving far, They will guard thy fame At thy call they throng And adore thy name; With their shout and song, Thou shalt be their Northern Star. Hailing thee their Northern Star. Recessional The graduates will leave their seats. The audience is requested to remain seated until those in the academic procession have marched out. Academic Procession ........................... Clifton Williams Commencement The commencement reception on the plaza of Northrop Memorial Reception Auditorium immediately follows the ceremony. All candidates and their guests are invited. The stage includes the flag from Yale University, which awarded the first Ph.D. in the United States, and international flags representing the countries of graduates participating in today's ceremony. The banner on the podium and in the foyer displays the Graduate School's centenary logo, celebrating the awarding of the first Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota. The featured musical selection was performed at the 1888 commencement ceremony. The Board of Regents requests that you adhere to the Northrop Memorial Auditorium policy that smoking is permitted only in posted areas on the west side of the lobby. 5 Academic Costume and the University Mace Academic gowns date back to the 14th Each institution has its own pattern of colors century, when they served two functions of on the hood, worn around the neck and down nearly equal importance: to indicate the the back of the gown.

It is an independent group of arms-control and nonproliferation experts from seventeen countries, including both nuclear weapon and non-nuclear weapon states. The mission of the IPFM is to analyze the technical basis for practical and achievable policy initiatives to secure, consolidate, and reduce stockpiles of highly enriched urani- um and plutonium. These fissile materials are the key ingredients in nuclear weapons, and their control is critical to nuclear disarmament, halting the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and ensuring that terrorists do not acquire nuclear weapons. Both military and civilian stocks of fissile materials have to be addressed. The nuclear weapon states still have enough fissile materials in their weapon stockpiles for tens of thousands of nuclear weapons. On the civilian side, enough plutonium has been sepa- rated to make a similarly large number of weapons. Highly enriched uranium is used in civilian reactor fuel in more than one hundred locations.

Programs of the meetings will appear in the issues indicated below. First and supplementary announcements of the meetings will have appeared in earlier issues. ABSTRACTS OF PAPERS presented at a meeting of the Society are published in the journal Abstracts of papers presented to the American Mathematical Society in the issue corresponding to that of the Notices which contains the program of the meeting. Abstracts should be submitted on special forms which are available in many departments of mathematics and from the office of the Society. Abstracts must be accompanied by the Sl5 processing charge. Abstracts of papers to be presented at the meeting must be received at the headquarters of the Society in Providence. Rhode Island. on or before the deadline given below for the meeting. Note that the deadline for abstracts for consideration for presentation at special sessions is usually three weeks earlier than that specified below.

Memorial Tributes: Volume 12 R U T H E R F O R D A R I S 1929–2005 Elected in 1975 “For contributions to the literature of chemical engineering on control theory and optimization and on the theory of reaction and diffusion.” BY NEAL R. AMUNDSON AND W. HARMON RAY RUTHERFORD ARIS, regents professor emeritus of chemi- cal engineering and classics at the University of Minnesota, died on November 2, 2005, after a long and distinguished career. Aris was born in Bournemouth, England, on September 15, 1929 to parents Algernon and Janet Aris. He had all his formal education in Great Britain. Aris completed a first-class honors B.Sc. degree in mathematics, with a minor in physics, at the University of London at the age of 16. However, the university did not think it proper to award a degree to someone so young, requiring him to wait until 1948, when he was 19, to receive the degree. Meanwhile, he worked in industry at Imperial Chemi- cal Industries (ICI) Ltd. as a laboratory assistant from 1946 to 1948. From 1948 to 1950 he pursued postgraduate studies at the University of Edinburgh, supported by ICI, and rejoined ICI as a technical officer during 1950–1955. At the invitation of Neal Amundson, Aris spent the year 1955–1956 at the University of Minnesota as a research fellow. He returned to England and was a lecturer in technical mathematics at Edinburgh Univer- sity in the period 1956–1958. In 1958 he was invited to join the Chemical Engineering Department at Minnesota as an assistant professor even though he had no Ph.D.

Mathematical Modeling: A Chemical Engineer's Perspective provides an elementary introduction to the craft by one of the century's most distinguished practitioners.Though the book is written from a chemical engineering viewpoint, the principles and pitfalls are common to all mathematical modeling of physical systems. Seventeen of the author's frequently cited papers are reprinted to illustrate applications to convective diffusion, formal chemical kinetics, heat and mass transfer, and the philosophy of modeling. An essay of acknowledgments, asides, and footnotes captures personal reflections on academic life and personalities. * Describes pitfalls as well as principles of mathematical modeling* Presents twenty examples of engineering problems* Features seventeen reprinted papers* Presents personal reflections on some of the great natural philosophers * Emphasizes modeling procedures that precede extensive calculations DOWNLOAD http://wp.me/2MXkG http://www.2shared.com/document/8WrZF914/Mathematical-Modeling-A-Chemical-Engineers-Perspective.html http://bit.ly/1tneAke Mathematical Modeling Applications in Emergency Health Services, Ralph B.
