The University of Houston The University of Houston’s proud heritage dates back to its founding in 1927. In the beginning, UH was known as Houston Junior College. Classes for the first 230 students were held at San Jacinto High School and were taught by a faculty of eight. Over the years, the junior college grew and prospered, officially becoming the University of Houston in 1934. Two years later, the institution acquired land for a permanent campus and its first building, the Roy G. Cullen Building, opened in 1939. The university became a state institution in 1963. Today, the University of Houston is a Carnegie-designated Tier One public research university, serving more than 40,000 students, with more than 300 undergraduate and graduate programs. UH stands at the forefront of education, research and service, with more than 40 research centers and institutes, and sponsors more than 300 partnerships with corporate, civic and governmental agencies. UH public service and community activities, such as cultural offerings, clinical services, policy studies and small-business initiatives, serve a diverse metropolitan population. Likewise, the resources of the Gulf Coast Region complement and enrich the university’s academic programs, providing students with professional expertise, practical experience and career opportunities. UH has awarded more than 268,000 degrees, and approximately 80 percent of our alumni remain in the Houston area.

The University of Houston System Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, teaching centers offering University of Houston degrees and classes opened in Clear Lake, downtown Houston and Victoria. Over time, these teaching centers became free-standing universities, offering education and opportunity to their communities. The University of Houston System was legally established in 1977. Today, the UH System is the region’s largest provider of comprehensive university services from the baccalaureate to the doctorate. The UH System plays a primary role in meeting the higher education needs of the Houston metropolitan area and Texas. It is comprised of four universities and six teaching centers. The accredited universities in the UH System are: University of Houston, UH-Downtown, UH-Clear Lake and UH-Victoria. The teaching centers are UH Sugar Land, UHS at Cinco Ranch, UH Northwest, UHD Northwest, UHCL Pearland and UHS at Texas Medical Center.

11 Commencement Traditions

Academic Regalia Academic costumes of today have a history of nearly eight centuries. In medieval Europe, all townspeople wore long flowing robes and gowns. The materials and colors were governed by royal decree. Gradually, distinctive gowns were developed for the various professions, trades and guilds. Scholars wore robes and hoods to protect their shaved heads. Later, skullcaps were worn on the head, and the hoods became a cape that could be pulled over the head during unpleasant weather. As additional universities were founded, distinctive forms of the gown and hood were adapted by their faculties for bachelors (apprentices of the arts), masters (teachers) and doctors (teachers who had completed postgraduate studies). When caps and hats came into fashion in the 15th century, the hoods became ornamental, draped over the shoulders and down the back. The academic hat was first worn as a symbol of the master’s degree and existed in various forms. The mortarboard style comes to us from Oxford University. When academic costumes came to America in 1754, styles were quite varied. In Europe, they still are; however, in our country, usage has been standardized by the Intercollegiate Code of Academic Costume.

12 Ceremonial Symbols

The Seal Throughout history, seals have been used to authenticate official documents. The University of Houston’s and UH System’s seals both bear the Official Seal of Arms of General Sam Houston, as handed down to him from his noble ancestors. It includes the escutcheon in the center of the seal – consisting of checkered chevrons denoting nobility – and three martlets, gentle lowland birds that symbolize peace and deliverance. A winged hourglass is placed above the shield. Surmounting this is the motto “In Tempore,” meaning “In Time.” The greyhounds indicate speed of giving aid. The UH seal was first adopted in 1938 as the present campus was established. Although the look of the seal has evolved over the years, the first version was etched into the floor of the Roy G. Cullen Building.

University Mace The Mace, which is carried in academic processions, is a staff symbolizing the university’s authority and unity. The tradition of the academic mace began in the late 14th century when two ancient instruments, the royal scepter and the battle mace, were combined to form a university president’s symbol of authority.

The Alma Mater All hail to thee, Our Houston University. Our hearts fill with gladness When we think of thee. We’ll always adore thee Dear old varsity. And to thy memory cherished, True we’ll ever be.

13 HONORARY DEGREE

Dinesh Singh Dinesh Singh, Vice Chancellor of the University of Delhi, is an internationally recognized mathematician and highly accomplished higher education administrator whose affiliation with the University of Houston spans four decades. As Vice Chancellor, Dr. Singh is the principal executive officer for what is considered to be the premier university in India, with an enrollment now approaching 200,000 full-time students. As a mathematician, he specializes in functional analysis and harmonic analysis, branches of theoretical mathematics with applications in areas as diverse as signal processing, quantum mechanics, and neuroscience. Dr. Singh earned his Bachelor of Arts (Honors – Maths) in 1975, followed by a Master of Arts (Maths) in 1977 from Delhi’s St. Stephen's College, standing first in order of merit on both occasions and a Master of Philosophy (Maths) with “distinctions” from the University of Delhi in 1978. He was awarded his Ph.D. (Maths) from London’s Imperial College of Science, Technology, and Medicine in 1981. In 1987, he joined the Department of Mathematics at the University of Delhi. His numerous research papers in international scholarly journals have been cited in books and articles, and he has earned several distinctions and awards and organized a number of highly regarded international academic conferences. He has introduced far reaching reforms in higher education at the University of Delhi that have been recognized as such by institutions and thinkers in several parts of the world. The Government of India has recently conferred on him one of its highest civilian awards – the Padma Shri – in recognition of his contributions. Following collaborative research associations with colleagues at the University of Houston that go back to the 1970s, Dr. Singh became an adjunct professor at UH in 1999. He visits UH often to teach graduate courses and direct research. Notably, for more than a decade, he has worked with the Department of Mathematics to administer a program that brings talented graduate students from India to complete their master’s degrees at UH – and more than half have remained to pursue their doctorates. “I feel a great indebtedness to UH and to the City of Houston,” says Professor Singh, whose son now attends UH – the latest of several family members who have attended UH. “These students, who go on to do such great things, are torchbearers from the enlightenment showered upon them by UH. To my country, to my university, and to me personally, we look to the University of Houston as a source of inspiration and a model of accomplishment. ”

May 2014 Dear University of Houston Graduate, You have succeeded and your mission has been accomplished! Let me start by extending well-deserved congratulations to you, your family, and friends who supported you during your time at the University of Houston. You are graduating from a well-respected institution of higher learning that is among the top research universities in the country. From this place and time, as you pursue new professional and personal goals, you will follow the path of more than 202,500 alumni who have walked before you. In everything you do, in all that you will undoubtedly accomplish, your pride is shared by the entire UH alumni family. We need alumni who are active, we need alumni who are involved, and we need alumni who take advantage of all the UH Alumni Association has to offer – come to one of our networking events and maybe find a new job or a new client, or take advantage of discounted ticket offers to events at the Moores School of Music. Also, as a new grad, you are entitled to short-term medical insurance discounts. We make it easy for you to be an active Cougar. As an active alumnus, not only will you receive many perks, but you will also help put dollars back into the university – dollars to fund scholarships, dollars to hire exceptional faculty, and dollars to upgrade the image and face of our institution. You have received the gift of education at UH, now give back. Mentor a student, help a fellow alumnus, recruit future students, and promote UH among those in your circle. Show your pride and light the way for UH’s future. Allow me to leave you with this parting advice – keep your Cougar connection strong! Whether your destiny takes you around the corner or around the world, always remember that you are a Cougar and always show it. Being an active alumnus is one of the best ways to do that, and we promise to make you as proud of your alma mater as we are proud of you. With best wishes,

Starlet Agrella (’86, MBA ’89) Chair, Board of Directors University of Houston Alumni Association
