DePauw’s 169th commencement Graduates told to engage each other and the world

Speakers at DePauw’s 169th commencement urged 598 graduating students to continue to engage each other and the world. In her address on the East College lawn on Sunday, May 18, Deborah Bial, founder and Spresident of the Posse Foundation, challenged the graduates to continue “working together, listening to one another, debating like you’ve done in class at DePauw. Learning from each other, and collaborating to make the best possible future for us all. The most powerful forms of leadership are those that bring voices together, hearts together, minds together and then most importantly actions together for the greater good. If we care about each other’s causes, and pool our resources; if we care about each other’s problems, we have much more chance to build greater prosperity for all.” “You are about to walk “What will you do as a collective?” Bial asked the graduates. “What will motivate you to do across this stage and into good things? How will you care? Did you ever have a moment when your whole heart went out the world. And, boy, do we to someone? Maybe you didn’t have time to think about helping or supporting or nurturing or need you. ” encouraging, but you did it. Maybe you are someone who even saved someone else’s life once. – Deborah Bial, founder But I hope you also think about extending that instinct to the larger world out there. It’s not and president of the Posse hard to see that this world needs help.” Foundation She concluded, “I know you can do it. You are sitting on that seat right there. You’re graduat- ing! Feel it. This represents a moment of transition in time. Sit on the edge. You are about to walk across this stage and into the world. And, boy, do we need you.”

Remarks by President Bottoms The recipient of a so-called “genius award” from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Bial has grown The Posse Foundation into one of the most comprehensive college access and scholarship programs in the United States. The Posse Foundation identifies, recruits and trains student leaders from urban public high schools to form multicultural teams called “posses.” The program sends students to top-tier colleges and universities nationwide to pursue their academics and help promote cross-cultural communication. DePauw has partnered with the Posse Foundation since 1996 and became the first college in the nation to host two Posse groups (from New York and Chicago). Bial was joined in delivering the keynote address to graduates by Robert G. Bottoms, who retired June 30 after 22 years as president of DePauw. They discussed “Motivation and the Good Life.” Bial, who received an honorary degree from DePauw in 2000 and this year was awarded the McNaughton Medal for Public Service, called Bottoms “a truly great president.” In his remarks to students, Bottoms said, “The most important thing I have learned in working with students like you and faculty members and alumni … the most important aspect of life is serving one another.” He talked of “the freedom that comes when we do learn to love, when we do learn to care.” The longest-serving president in the Uni- versity’s 171-year history continued, “When you think about the history that you’ve learned as a student at DePauw, you realize that all great social movements, all movements for social justice, have strongly emphasized the love ethic. One was Martin Luther King Jr., a 20th century Christian; the other, Gandhi, a 20th century Hindu. And what made these

two individuals exceptional was not that they were smarter than their peers or kinder than their neighbors. What made them exceptional was that they learned to live out the truth of their most basic values. The true meaning of life, we would argue – Debbie and I – is learning to serve other people.” Bottoms pointed to the work DePauw alumni have done to better their communities and the world, and said to the graduates, “If you think I’m asking a lot of average people to do extraordinary things, consider this: the extraordinary people who have sat where you sit perhaps viewed themselves as average people when they were graduating.”

Walker Cup recipient John L. Schomburg ’08 “Throughout our four years, we have studied, volunteered, celebrated, cheered, argued, mourned and rallied together,” John L. Schomburg told his fellow graduates as the 2008 recipi- ent of the Walker Cup, which is awarded to the senior student judged to have contributed the most to the University during his or her four-year college career. “We have pushed each other to become better students, to become better world citizens, and to become better people; all along the way getting to know individuals who will be lifelong friends,” he said. Schomburg told his classmates, “We are the individuals standing here today, not because we learned a lot of facts from books, but because we engaged with each other, because we learned from and were inspired by tremendous faculty and because we have been guided by our loving parents and families. We are the fortunate ones to have had this same experience over the past four years. We have grown intellectually, spiritually, personally and professionally. In addition to learning our academic disciplines, we have developed timeless friendships and values that will guide our lives. Our experience at DePauw has taught us not just to accept situations as we encounter them, but rather to assess and engage them in an effort to further our learning and improve humanity.” Schomburg concluded, “As we get ready to leave campus for the last time as students and prepare to become alumni, I ask that you do the following: Thank your parents who have Copies of the limited helped make your time here possible.

DePauw’s 19th president Inauguration scheduled Oct. 10 for Brian W. Casey

UNCOMMON SUCCESS: DEPAUW IN THE WORLD

A new chapter in DePauw’s 171-year history will be celebrated on Friday, Oct. 10, 2008, as the University community and its friends gather for the inauguration of the institution’s 19th president, Brian W. Casey. The ceremony, which will be part of this year’s Old Gold Weekend, is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. in Holton Memorial Quadrangle. In the event of inclement weather, the event will take place in Lilly Physical Education and Recreation Center. The inauguration theme is Uncommon Success: DePauw in the World. The program will feature remarks by Robert J. Zimmer, president of the University of Chicago, as well as President Casey’s inaugural address. Casey assumed the presidency of DePauw on July 1. His appointment was announced in February after a nine-month international search for the University’s first new leader in 22 years. Casey comes to DePauw from Harvard University, where he was associate dean for academic affairs in the faculty of arts and sciences. He succeeds Robert G. Bottoms, who led DePauw since 1986 and, as president emeritus, serves as director of the Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics. For up-to-date details about the inauguration of President Casey, check DePauw’s Web site at www.depauw.edu.

Entering class includes the largest-ever number of international students DePauw welcomed 625 new students to campus this fall, including a group of 77 young scholars from outside the United States. “This is the largest entering class of international non-citizen students in DePauw’s 171-year history,” said Stefanie D. Niles, vice president for admission and financial aid. “The global reach of our institution has never been greater.” The 77 incoming international students represent a 71 percent increase over the 45 un- dergraduates from other countries who entered DePauw in the fall last year. The University also welcomed 102 new students of color who are American citizens. Taken together, the two groups of students represent about 29 percent of the Class of 2012. “DePauw’s efforts to increase diversity, which were launched 22 years ago when Dr. Robert Bottoms became our president, have made our campus more reflective of the world in which our students will someday live and work,” Niles said. “We’re now seeing that our initiative to bring more international students to DePauw – which we began two years ago as part of the University’s strategic plan – is having a very positive impact in attracting a wider range of very talented students to our campus.” The University received a total of 4,118 applications for enrollment this fall, an 11 percent increase over last year (3,700). Applications to the DePauw School of Music climbed 6 percent. The percentage of new students from Indiana is 34, compared with 43 percent in fall 2007. “This is another sign that our sphere of influence is increasing,” Niles said. “As more students around the nation and the world apply to and choose DePauw, it’s only natural that our overall geographical diversity would reflect that.” Members of the Class of 2012 come from 39 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and 19 countries.

Istvan Csicsery-Ronay Jr., professor of English, Christopher Bolton, and Takayuki Tatsumi, editors, Robot Ghosts and Wired Dreams: Japanese Science Fiction From Origins to Anime (University of Minnesota Press – ISBN: 978-0-8166-4974-7). Since the end of World War II, and especially during the past decade, Japanese science fiction has strongly influenced worldwide popular culture. Unlike American and British science fiction, Japanese examples have been visual, from Gojira (Godzilla) and Astro Boy in the 1950s and ’60s to the anime masterpieces Akira and Ghost in the Shell of the 1980s and ’90s, while little attention has been paid to a vibrant tradition of prose science fiction in Japan.Robot Ghosts and Wired Dreams remedies this neglect with a rich exploration of the genre that connects prose science fiction to contemporary anime. This book covers a remarkable range of text and firmly establishes Japanese science fiction as a vital and exciting genre. Csicsery-Ronay is co-editor of Science Fiction Studies, an international journal published at DePauw. Vanessa D. Dickerson, professor of English, Dark Victorians (University of Illinois Press – ISBN: 978-0-252-0325-1). Dark Victorians illuminates the cross-cultural influences between white Britons and black Americans during the Victorian Age. In this careful analysis of literature and travel narratives by Ida B. Wells, Harriet Martineau, Charles Dickens, Fred- erick Douglass, Thomas Carlyle, W.E.B. DuBois and others, Vanessa D. Dickerson reveals the profound political, racial and rhetorical exchanges between the groups, and investigates how African Americans and Britons perceived each other. Dickerson argues that Black America’s romance with Victorian Britain and Britons’ knowledge of black Americans was largely a result of travelers who crossed the Atlantic and then shared their experiences, often by publishing them in nonfictional or fictional forms, with their compatriots. Wendy B. Gifford ’71, Innocence Unveiled (Harlequin Historical – ISBN: 978-0-373- 29502-9). Writing as Blythe Gifford, the author’s setting for this book is the onset of the Hundred Years War. It is the story of a man of secrets, spying for his king, King Edward III of England, and a noblewoman disguised as a weaver – who are sleeping under the same roof as war threatens.

Innocence Unveiled is Gifford’s third release. The Chicago Tribune called her previous book, The Harlot’s Daughter, an expert blend of “fascinating setting and beautifully nuanced characters,” making it a “captivating love story.” The author’s Web site is www.blythegifford.com. Toby Jones ’83, The Gospel According to Rock (Books and Bridges Press – ISBN: 978- 0-9797793-0). Often disregarded is rock ’n’ roll’s deep and inherent spirituality. The Gospel According to Rock explores secular rock’s surprising associations with the Christian gospel. Jones includes more than a hundred classic rock songs in his examination of 14 universal spiritual themes, from freedom and identity to love of neighbor and resurrection. According to The Cleveland Plain Dealer, in the course of his examination of the canon of rock music and its inherent spirituality, Jones also introduces us to a “Jesus who was all about entering into the culture of his day, not fleeing from it.” TheTraverse City Record Eagle calls Jones “an enlightened renegade,” who has found God to be “speaking through the same lyrics that many churches have called ‘the Devil’s music.’” Glen D. Kuecker, associate professor of history, Richard Stahler-Sholk, and Harry E. Vanden, editors, Latin American Social Movements in the Twenty-first Century: Resistance, Power, and Democracy (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc. – ISBN: 978-0-7425-5647-8). Extremely useful for understanding grassroots politics in the region, this clearly written text examines the uprising of politically and economically marginalized groups in Latin American societies. It delves into the roots, evolution and implications of social movements, and their resistance to neoliberal and global capitalism, offering a wide-ranging and up-to-date study of the role of social move- ments in the fight for social and political change in contemporary Latin America. A combination of case studies with a broad historical overview, this volume is of great interest to those who want to understand the dynamic challenges currently faced by Latin American democracies. Mitchell B. Merback, professor of art, editor, Beyond the Yellow Badge: Anti-Judaism and Antisemitism in Medieval and Early Modern Visual Culture (Brill – ISBN: 978-90-04-15165-9). With 13 essays written by leading art historians plus a critical introduction by the editor, Beyond the Yellow Badge reframes the relationship between European visual culture and the changing aspects of the Christian majority’s negative conceptions of Jews and Judaism during the Middle Ages and early modern periods. The authors place their subjects within a broad range of histori- cal and critical issues, and inquire into such questions as the shifting politics of toleration and intolerance; the role played by anti-Judaic legends in the formation of Christian cults; and the role of positive evaluations of Hebrew, Jewish learning and Christian hopes for Jewish conversion, to name a few. This book is of special interest to art historians, cultural historians, students of Christian theology and Jewish history, and to general readers. Christopher W. Schmidt ’90 and Steven A. Symes, The Analysis of Burned Human Remains (Academic Press – ISBN: 978-0-12-372510-3). Edited by two of the nation’s foremost anthropological authorities on burned remains, this book provides critical information about the transformation in human bone, teeth and soft tissue as a body burns and, through case studies, details the complex technical aspects of those changes at both the chemical and gross levels. The text covers the techniques that anthropological investigators use to analyze burned bone and provide practical recommendations for best practices in gleaning crucial information from the burned remains of both the recent and ancient dead. This is the definitive reference tool for osteologists and those in the medico-legal community with the responsibility for analyzing burned human remains from forensic and archaeological contexts.

Emilie Savage-Smith ’62 and Peter E. Portman, Medieval Islamic Medicine (Georgetown University Press – ISBN: 978-58901-161-8). The medical tradition that developed in Islamic lands during the medieval period has, like few others, influenced the destiny and fortunes of countless human beings. It is a chronicle of contact and cultural exchange across countries and creeds, affecting many people from kings to commoners. This tradition formed the roots of Western medicine, and, opposed to the stereotypical view, medieval Islamic medicine was not simply a conduit for Greek ideas but a venue for innovation and change. This book examines the emergence of medieval Islamic medicine and its intense cross-pollination with other cultures, the theoretical framework, the function of physicians within the larger society, medical care as seen through preserved case histories, and the role of magic and devout religious invocations in scholarly as well as everyday medicine. Joseph A. Sheridan ’59, Jesus Was A Liberal: A Blogger’s Bold Opinions On Politics And Religion (AuthorHouse – ISBN: 1-4259-7167-9). Joseph A. Sheridan shares his collection of the most widely read postings from his Internet blog, which covers a variety of contemporary topics ranging from the political to social issues important to both Evangelical and Pentecostal Christians. The author concludes that Jesus of the New Testament was a liberal who believed in reforming the harshness of Orthodox Jewish law and advocated maximum individual lib- erty, open-mindedness and tolerance. Sheridan points out that if one looks at the definition of liberal in the dictionary, the characteristics attributed to Jesus appear, and he believes these same words apply to his view of what a benevolent, compassionate government does when it truly serves the people. Larry C. Spears ’78 and Paul W. Davis, editors, Scanlon EPIC Leadership: Where the Best Ideas Come Together (The Scanlon Foundation – ISBN: 978-0981598406). Scanlon EPIC Leadership is the definitive book on Scanlon thought and practice. It contains classic articles by accomplished authors, researchers and executives that help the reader understand the depth and breadth of the ideas known as “Scanlon.” The contributions of Scanlon thought to lean, six-sigma, corporate culture, open-book management, gainsharing, integrity, servant leadership and employee involvement are discussed. Editor Larry C. Spears also contributes a chapter on “Servant-Leadership and Scanlon Principles.” Spears is president and CEO of the Larry C. Spears Center for Servant Leadership, established in 2008. From 1990-2007 he served as president and CEO of The Robert K. Greenleaf Center for Servant-Leadership. He is editor and contributing author of nine books, editor of the Voices of Servant-Leadership Essay Series, and senior advisory editor for The International Journal of Servant Leadership. David L. Wann Jr. ’71, Simple Posterity: Finding Real Wealth in a Sustainable Lifestyle (St. Martin’s Griffin – ISBN: 978-0-312-36141-9). In his best-selling book Affluenza, David L. Wann and coauthors identified the debilitating “disease” of over-consumption and dem- onstrated how our lifestyles and the constant pursuit of more were producing a pandemic of debt, inflation anxiety and waste. In Simple Posterity, Wann shows us how we can overcome our over-consumption ills and get back the good life by investing in things that really matter: the wealth of time, health, meaningful work and social connections. The suggestions in this book, including 17 essential assets to beat affluenza, can help bring the fever down, get our strength back, and build up our immune systems – Simple Posterity is a manual for living a more agreeable, healthful and devoted life.

Little 5 competitive spirit still burns for Alumni Bike Race riders

For the second time in the history of the Little 5, an Alumni Bike Race was held in con- junction with the student races on April 19. The 23 alumni racers were all “seasoned” Little 5 riders from yesteryear, representing graduating classes from 1969-87. Held in conjunction with the 52nd running of the Little 5 at Blackstock Stadium, the 50-minute alumni race was a spirited competition won by Tom Gee ’73, representing the Sigma Nu team. “The level of interest and support this year was awesome. We had alumni fly in from both coasts of the country to participate. Others traveled back to DePauw just to watch,” Alumni Race director Kent A. Billingsley ’80 said. “For a number of the alumni, Little 5 was the race that started their love affair with the bike that has continued 30 years later. For others, this was the first time since graduating that they became reconnected with friendships and the University.” The Alumni Bike Race will be an ongoing part of the Little 5 festivities. Two events are planned in 2009 – a Masters 40+ race for alumni over the age of 40 and an Alumni Open race for those under the age of 40. The races are open to all alumni, whether or not you are a former Little 5 rider. The top five alumni riders in 2008: 1. Thomas H. Gee ’73, Sigma Nu 2. Chip Combs ’80, Delta Chi 3. Richard T. Born ’83, Longden 4. Jonathan C. Beasley ’77, Sigma Nu 5. Kent A. Billingsley ’80, Lambda Chi In the Little 5 student races, the Kappa Alpha Theta and Phi Gamma Delta teams captured first place this year. Sophomore Luke C. Beasley, Phi Gamma Delta, won the Men’s Individual Criterium, and senior Kelly M. Niezer, Alpha Chi Omega, took the Women’s Individual Criterium.
