You are graduating at a time of great triumphs for UH, from the Tier One designation by the Carnegie Foundation two years ago, to our inclusion by the Princeton Review on its list of best colleges in the nation, to being ranked by U.S. News and World Report for the first time in our history.

Several factors contributed to your success. The support of your parents and families, and the encouragement of your faculty, advisors, and staff played a significant part. But the most important factor is you, and the motivation, determination, and drive that brought you to this day, and will continue to serve you as you make your mark on your community and the world.

10 The History of the University of Houston

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 (appren- tices 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.

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.

Words and music by Harmony Class of 1942

13 Honorary Degree

Edith Irby Jones, M.D., M.A.C.P. Dr. Edith Irby Jones is a trailblazing doctor and humanitarian who has served those in need for more than half a century in Houston, the nation, and across the globe. She is a Gold Star Patron for the “To Bear Fruit for Our Race” project sponsored by the UH Center for History Policy. When she was admitted to the University of Arkansas College of Medicine in 1948, she was the first African American to enroll in an all-white medical school in the south. She graduated in 1952 and practiced medicine in Hot Springs, Arkansas before moving to Houston with her late husband, Dr. James B. Jones, former dean and professor at Texas Southern University. In 1959, she became the first African American female resident in the Baylor College of Medicine Affiliated Hospitals. She opened her private practice in the heart of the Third Ward, and she continues to practice from the same location today. In 1985, she was elected the first female president of the National Medical Association, established during segregation when African American doctors were not allowed to join the American Medical Association. She is a founding member of the Association of Black Cardiologists and a charter member of Physicians for Human Rights, which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997. She has helped to establish clinics in Veracruz, Mexico, and Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti. She holds three honorary doctorates and is the holder of a professor chair at Cornell University.

14 Honorary Degree

Belle Griggs Johnson Mrs. Belle Griggs Johnson has defined the art of being a Cougar for decades, building the University of Houston Libraries System’s arts legacy and helping create what is now one of the largest public art collections in southeast Texas. Mrs. Johnson, a 1951 alumna, and her late husband, Richard J. V. Johnson, created the Belle Griggs Johnson Endowed Book Fund in 1993 to support the UH Libraries System’s acquisition of books, serials, and visual and sound recordings related to art, drama, literature, and music. As a member of the UH Art Committee, she helped choose much of the public art that graces UH buildings and grounds. While her husband served as Chairman and Publisher of the Houston Chronicle, Mrs. Johnson was an active volunteer and benefactor for charities across the Houston community. She is, however, proudest of her connection to her alma mater. In 2001, Mrs. Johnson and her husband co-chaired the UH Libraries’ capital campaign to raise more than $39 million to expand the M.D. Anderson Library and provide a new home for the Honors College, changing the face of learning and educational research for generations to come. Mrs. Johnson is the recipient of the Ima Hogg Award, the Community Leader Award of the Consular Ladies of Houston, and the Spirit of Anne Morrow Lindbergh Award from the Huffington Center on Aging, among others.

15 Honorary Degree

The Honorable Welcome W. Wilson, Sr. The Honorable Welcome W. Wilson, Sr., who graduated from the University of Houston in 1949 with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree, is one of his alma mater’s most distinguished alumni, most committed supporters, and most cherished friends. He served for three years as Chairman of the UH System Board of Regents, and worked tirelessly in support of Tier One state funding for UH in his role as Co-Chair of the statewide Texans for Proposition Four. The group helped win successful passage of the constitutional amendment that created a special fund for the state’s seven emerging research universities, including the University of Houston. He now serves as Chair of the UH Drive to Tier One Campaign, and continues to be a strong advocate of the UH System and UH, bringing the case for support before the Texas Legislature and the private, corporate, civic, and philanthropic sectors. Mr. Wilson also inspired the fundraising campaign that named UH’s Jack J. Valenti School of Communication in memory of his fellow UH alumnus and lifelong friend. He is Chairman of the Board of GSL Welcome Group, LLC, which owns and leases single-tenant office, manufacturing, and other industrial facilities in Texas, and is a principal in Kingham Dalton Wilson, Ltd., a regional industrial construction company. Mr. Wilson was inducted into the Texas Business Hall of Fame in 2011, the same year he was named Entrepreneur of the Year by the Houston Technology Center. In 2012, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Houston Business Journal, and in 2013 he was honored with the Distinguished Service Award from the Corporate Real Estate Executives Organization and the Crusader Award from Neighborhood Centers, Inc. for his commitment to Houston’s community.

Dr. Kohn received a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from the University of Michigan in 1966, and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Pennsylvania State University in 1971. He spearheaded groundbreaking research at the University of Houston from 1973 to1999, while serving as M.D. Anderson Professor of Chemistry. His contributions have been recognized with the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, the UH Research Excellence Award, and the University of North Carolina Faculty Mentoring Award, among others.

May 2013

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 UH. From this place and time, you will follow the path of more than 202,500 alumni who have walked before you as you pursue new professional and personal goals. 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 alumni association has to offer: show up to one of our networking events and maybe find a new job or a new client; stop by the alumni tailgate before football games to enjoy food and drinks with fellow Cougars; 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’ll 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. 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’re 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, John Clarke (’82) Chair, Board of Directors University of Houston Alumni Association

Serving and Supporting the University of Houston and its alumni since 1940 Special Thanks
