The Latin text quoted above has introduced Bowdoin’s Commencement Program since August 21, 1822. The names of the 24 graduates of the Class of 1822 were, for the most part, also translated into Latin for the program. In the early years of the College, each graduating senior was required to deliver a Commencement “part,” an oration on ancient or modern topics, which was frequently given in one of the classical languages, Latin, Greek, or Hebrew. The final Latin oration was given in 1893, but the tradition of Latin survives in the language used to dedicate the Commencement Exercises and to confer the bachelor of arts degree. The translation below was provided by Barbara Weiden Boyd, Henry Winkley Professor of Latin and Greek.

May it be good, felicitous, and well-omened: [an ancient Roman formula used at the outset of a ritual to ensure its success] To John Baldacci, esteemed Governor; to the Representatives and Senators who personally preside over the arts and letters for the State of ; and to the honorable and respected Trustees of Bowdoin College; to Barry Mills, distinguished President; to the entire academic senate; to the venerable religious leaders; in short, to all patrons of the human race everywhere, the young people hereby initiated into the arts and letters most humbly dedicate these exercises.

Held in a gathering of Bowdoin College, in Brunswick, in the State of Maine, on the fifth day before the Kalends of June, in the 2005th year of our well-being and in the 229th year of the authority of the United States of America. 77807_text 5/25/05 3:06 PM Page 1

DEGREES

This ancient formula is used by the President in conferring degrees:

Candidati pro gradu baccalaureali, assurgite.

Vir honorande, hosce juvenes, quos censeo idoneos primum ad gradum in artibus, nunc tibi offero, ut a te instructus, eos ad gradum istum admittam. Placetne? (Placet.)

Pro auctoritate mihi commissa, admitto vos ad primum gradum in artibus, et dono et concedo omnia jura, privilegia, honores atque dignitates, ad gradum istum pertinentia.

In cujus testimonium hasce membranas litteris scriptas accipite.

Candidates for the Baccalaureate degrees will rise.

(To the Chair of the Board of Trustees) Honored sir, these young people whom I deem worthy of the first degree in Arts, I now present to you, that, if you so direct, I may admit them to that degree. Is such your will? (It is.)

(To the Candidates) By virtue of the authority vested in me, I now admit you to the first degree in Arts and do grant and confer upon you all the rights, privileges, honors, and dignities pertaining to that degree.

In witness whereof, receive these diplomas.

NOTE: The Baccalaureate degrees are awarded individually, and the graduating class requests that there be no applause until the last degree is conferred.

At the Commencement Exercises, Bowdoin displays the College flag and the flags of the United States of America, the State of Maine, and the home countries or territories of graduating international students — in 2005, Australia, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Pakistan, People’s Republic of China, Puerto Rico, Republic of Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. 77807_text 5/25/05 3:06 PM Page 2

HONORANDS OF THE 2005 COMMENCEMENT

ELLEN BAXTER ’75 DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS

A 1994 recipient of Bowdoin’s Common Good Award, Ellen Baxter has been a tireless advo- cate for the homeless in New York City. As executive director of Broadway Housing, she has been described as New York’s most accomplished not-for-profit entrepreneur. Baxter began her work in the early 1980s with the Community Service Society. With two colleagues, she formed Broadway Housing and raised money and public awareness with her renovation of a building into 55 single-room occupancy units for those in need. The success of the program has led to the renovation or construction of more buildings for housing and has brought national attention and additional resources to bear on issues of homelessness.

JUNG CHANG DOCTOR OF LETTERS

Jung Chang was born in Yibin, Sichuan Province, China. At the age of 14 she was a Red Guard for a brief time. She subsequently worked as a peasant, a “barefoot doctor,” a steel- worker, and an electrician. She entered Sichuan University, where she studied English and became an assistant lecturer. In 1978 she left China and entered York University in Britain. She received a Ph.D. in linguistics in 1982, and was the first person from the People's Republic of China to receive a doctorate from a British university. Her book, Wild Swans — Three Daughters of China (1991), is an autobiographical look at twentieth-century China as seen through the eyes of three generations of women within her family. The book has won widespread acclaim — the NCR Book Award (UK), the UK Writers’ Guild’s Best Non-Fiction Book, and the Book of the Year (UK) in 1993 — and has been translated into more than 30 languages. Her next book will be a monumental biography of Mao Zedong.

DONALD R. KURTZ ’52 DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS

A 1952 Bowdoin graduate with an M.B.A. from Columbia University, Donald Kurtz has provided wise leadership to Bowdoin in areas of vital importance to the College over a long career, in which he drew on his years of executive experience with The Equitable Life Assurance Society, Equitable Investment Management, and General Motors. He was elected an Overseer of the College in 1984, and he chaired the Investments Committee during a period of strong growth in Bowdoin's endowment. Elected a Trustee in 1997, Kurtz took on the difficult task of chairing the Commission on Residential Life, which resulted in a transformation of the College's residential life system. He received the 1997 Alumni Service Award for leading the Bowdoin community through this difficult transition and for his self- less efforts on behalf of the College. Most recently, Kurtz chaired the Board of Trustees from 1999 to 2002. 77807_text 5/25/05 3:06 PM Page 17

ALAN LIGHTMAN DOCTOR OF LETTERS

A 1970 Princeton graduate with a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the California Institute of Technology, Alan Lightman is a scientist and writer whose work enriches both science and literature. Throughout his early career at Cornell and Harvard, and as a research scientist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Lightman wrote poetry, fiction, reviews, and essays about science and the human side of science. He served as professor of science and writing and senior lecturer in physics at M.I.T., where he headed the Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies and helped to create the communication requirement for M.I.T. students. His books include Origins, Einstein's Dreams, Good Benito, The Diagnosis, and Reunion. Lightman is the recipient of the Distinguished Arts and Humanities Medal for Literature (Germantown Arts Alliance), the Gyorgy Kepes Prize in the Arts (M.I.T. Council for the Arts), and the Andrew Gemant Award of the American Institute of Physics (for linking science and the humanities). Lightman’s scientific research has appeared in journals of physics and astrophysics and has earned him membership in the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and was named a Literary Light of the Boston Public Library in 1995.

FREDERICK G. P. THORNE ’57 DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS

Elected an Overseer of the College in 1972, Fred Thorne ’57 continued his record of leader- ship in the College's governance as a Trustee (beginning in 1982), as chair of the Board of Trustees from 1996 to 1999, and again as a Trustee until he was elected emeritus in 2003. Thorne has also generously volunteered his time and energy to Bowdoin as a class agent, a Bowdoin Club president, a regional chair for two prior capital campaigns, and as chair of the New Century Capital Campaign. He has a long and distinguished record in the investment business at State Street Bank, John P. Chase, Inc. of Boston (later Phoenix Investment Counsel of Boston, Inc.), and Harbor Capital Management. He remains a financial consultant in his “retirement,” and is a valued member of a number of corporate and philanthropic boards.

FREDERICK WISEMAN DOCTOR OF FINE ARTS

Documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman made his first film, Titicut Follies, more than 35 years ago while he was a law professor. That film, which showed the brutality of mental health care of the criminally insane in a Massachusetts asylum, shocked audiences, and Massachusetts officials banned the film from public viewing for 25 years. Wiseman's docu- mentary films number more than 30, including High School; Law and Order (Emmy Award for Best News Documentary in 1969); Hospital (Emmy Award for best documentary direction in 1970); Juvenile Court; Public Housing; Belfast, Maine; and Domestic Violence. He is the winner of a MacArthur Prize (1982-1987), a Peabody award in 1991, three Emmy Awards, a Columbia DuPont Award, and the Irene Diamond Award for Lifetime Achievement by Human Rights Watch. A Williams College graduate with a law degree from Yale University, he is an Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and a Fellow at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. 77807_text 5/25/05 3:06 PM Page 18

ACADEMIC APPAREL

The formal academic attire that distinguishes faculty and graduates at academic ceremonies is a symbol at once vertical and horizontal. It stretches back into history, to the roots of academic institutions, while at the same time it forms a bond of union among contemporary academic scholars. The gown, cap, and hood, which would certainly seem quaint today if worn on our city streets, were originally the ordinary apparel of our medieval ancestors. The gowns varied in elegance according to the rank and wealth of the owners, and the hood had the practical function of being pulled over the head for warmth. Many of the medieval universities had strict rules on the subject; at Oxford, for example, the master of arts had to swear that he owned the dress prescribed for his degree and that he would wear it on all proper occasions. Undergraduates were required to wear their gowns whenever they appeared in the public street. After the sixteenth century in Europe different styles prevailed, but the older style was retained for certain legal, official, clerical, and, especially, academic uses. In America the gown has been used to some extent since colonial times. It was only in the late nineteenth century, however, that widespread interest — sparked perhaps by the observance in 1886 of the 250th anniversary of the founding of Harvard — brought about several developments. In 1887 an enter- prising member of the graduating class of Williams College designed academic gowns for the graduates to wear at the Commencement ceremony. The garb was significant and dignified; it was both traditional and democratic; it answered a need, and it quickly became popular. In 1895 an intercollegiate code, standardiz- ing the design and the color of each part of the academic regalia, was accepted by nearly all American col- leges and universities. The gown is usually black, and the cut of the sleeves differs for bachelors, masters, and doctors. In addition, the doctor's gown has panels of velvet (usually black) down the front and on the sleeves. The cap is generally black, with a tassel which is either black or the color of the field of study; a doctor's may be gold. The most common style of cap is the Oxford “mortar board,” with a square flat top, but some variations are permitted. The hood is the most distinctive part of the costume. It is made of black and trimmed with velvet. Both the length of the hood and the width of the trim vary with the level of the degree, the doctor's being the longest and having the widest velvet border. The color of the velvet indicates the field of study in which the degree is received: for example, white for arts and letters (bachelor of arts), dark blue for philosophy, brown for fine arts, golden yellow for science, scarlet for theology. The lining of the hood is the color and style of the university that confers the degree; these are all specified in the standard code of the American Council on Education. Bowdoin College's lining is white and green to symbolize the Bowdoin pines. Whatever the degree or university, those who don the gown and hood symbolically take their places in the long procession of scholars who have pursued truth and learning and passed it on to others. The consciousness of that fellowship is at once a reward for past efforts and an inspiration for the future.

RAISE SONGS TO BOWDOIN

Words by K.C.M. Sills, Class of 1901 New Lyrics by Anthony Antolini ’63 Music by C.T. Burnett Arr. by Thornton W. Allen

Raise songs to Bowdoin, praise her fame, And sound abroad her glorious name; To Bowdoin, Bowdoin lift your song, And may the music echo long O’er whispering pines and campus fair With sturdy might filling the air. Bowdoin, from birth, our nurturer and friend To thee we pledge our love again, again.

While now amid thy halls we stay And breathe thy spirit day by day, Oh may we thus full worthy be To march in that proud company Of poets, leaders and each one Who brings thee fame by deeds well done. Bowdoin, from birth, our nurturer and friend To thee we pledge our love again, again. 77807_cover 5/25/05 8:52 AM Page 4
