Arun Rath has distinguished himself in public media as a reporter, producer, and editor. In his current role as a shared correspondent for NPR and Boston-based public station WGBH, he covers a variety of beats, from neuroscience and the arts to the war court in Guantanamo Bay.

He began his journalism career as an intern with NPR’s , eventually joining the staff and becoming the show's director after working on several NPR News programs during the 1990s. In 2000, he was tasked with re-booting On the Media, which tripled its audience and won a Peabody Award.

Rath spent 2005 as senior editor at the culture and arts show Studio 360. He moved to television in 2005 to produce documentaries and manage radio partnerships for Frontline, while continuing to report on culture and music for the PBS series Sound Tracks.

At Frontline and The World, Rath specialized in national security and military justice. He reported for and produced four films forFrontline , including an Emmy-nominated investigation of the Haditha Incident in Iraq, in which a group of United States Marines killed 24 unarmed Iraqi civilians.

Rath also covered the Chelsea Manning court martial for espionage and has made numerous trips to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to cover the military commission prosecuting 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. From 2013 to 2015, Rath was the weekend host of NPR’s . His Frontline documentary about a recently released detainee and the untold history of Guantanamo Bay, Out of Gitmo, aired in February.

“As Torrents in Summer” from Scenes from the Saga of King Olaf, Op. 30 Music by Edward Elgar (1857–1934) Text by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

As torrents in summer, Half dried in their channels, Suddenly rise, tho' the sky is still cloudless. For rain has been falling. Far off at their fountains;

So hearts that are fainting Grow full to o’erflowing, And they that behold it, Marvel, and know not That God at their fountains Far off has been raining!

“You are the New Day” Music and text by John David (b. 1946), arr. Bob Chilcott

I will love you more than me and more than yesterday if you can but prove to me you are the new day.

Send the sun in time for dawn, let the birds all hail the morning. Love of life will urge me say, you are the new day.

When I lay me down at night, knowing we must pay, thoughts occur that this night might stay yesterday.

Thoughts that we as humans small could slow worlds and end it all lie around me where they fall, before the new day.

One more day when time is running out for ev’ryone, like a breath I knew would come, I reach for a new day.

Hope is my philosophy, just needs days in which to be, Love of life means hope for me, born on a new day.

A Note on the Beginnings of Reed College & Commencement In the late 1800s, the Reverend Thomas Lamb Eliot suggested to two of his parishioners, Oregon pioneers Simeon and Amanda Reed, that they use their wealth for the betterment of society. He urged them to found “a Reed Institute of lectures and arts and music and museum.” In 1908, with contributions from Simeon and Amanda’s estate after their deaths, a board of trustees led by Eliot established the Reed Institute in Portland, Oregon.

Reed College began its first classes in 1911 with 50 students—26 men and 24 women—and 15 faculty members. As an innovative experiment to restore relevancy to the liberal arts in an age dominated by science and industry, Reed sought neither the size and specialization of the university nor the intercollegiate athletics and elaborate social life that had become standard at many private colleges.

Under the inspiration and guidance of Reed’s founding president, William Trufant Foster, the college set out to build a democratic community without regard for nationality, gender, religion, race, or class. No fundamental distinctions were made between students and faculty in what was called “the quest for truth.” Students were expected to do original work in a major subject area—the senior thesis. A principle of honor governed all aspects of campus life.

Reed held its first commencement ceremony in 1915, for which President Foster conferred degrees on the back steps of Eliot Hall. In the last few decades, the college has usually invited a notable graduate to give the commencement address; recent alumni commencement addresses have been given by Kathleen Saadat ’74, Igor Vamos ’90, Jennifer Ferenstein ’88, Robert Smith ’89, Larry Sanger ’91, and Michelle Nijhuis ’96.

For over a hundred years Reed has remained steadfast in its belief in the intrinsic value of rigorous scholarship, the joy of serious intellectual pursuit, and the essential role of community in the development of knowledge.

A Note on Academic Regalia Academic regalia worn at commencement reveal different types of academic achievement through the use of different styles and colors of gowns and hoods. The bachelor’s gown has a long, pointed sleeve; the master’s is a long closed sleeve with a slit at the elbow; and the doctor’s is a very full, bell-shaped sleeve with the bands matching the color of the gown opening. The hoods are lined in the official color of the institution that conferred the degree, although the bachelor’s hood is rarely used. The colored velvet binding in the hoods indicates the academic area in which the degree was earned—white for liberal arts, yellow for science, purple for law, red for theology, green for medicine, and blue for philosophy.
