History & Tradition

Academic Regalia Academic costume of today has a history of nearly eight centuries. In medieval Europe, all townspeople wore long flowing robes and gowns. The materials and colors used 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, skull caps were worn on the head and the hood 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 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.

Ceremonial Symbols

The SeaL Throughout history, seals have been used to authenticate official documents. The University of Houston’s and UH System’s seals bear the Official Seal of Arms of General Sam Houston, as handed down to him from 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 above the shield. Surmounting this is the motto “In Tempore” (In Time). The greyhounds indicate speed in giving aid. The UH seal was adopted in 1938 in conjunction with the establishment of the present campus. The first official 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 the university of houston president’s medallion

The University of Houston President’s Medallion was established in 2005 with the support of the UH Faculty Senate. It is awarded at the sole discretion of the president of the university to individuals who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to the University of Houston. This is the highest honor to be bestowed on students, faculty, staff and friends who have graced the UH community, either through their presence as inspirational guests or as long-term supporters of the university’s mission. The front of the President’s Medallion features the sculpted seal of the University of Houston. The ribbon attached to the medal carries the official UH colors — scarlet red and albino white. Scarlet red stands for courage and inner strength to face the unknown. Albino white represents the good of helping one’s fellow man. These are honored recipients of the University of Houston President’s Medallion:

RICHARD E. WAINERDI President and Chief Executive Officer Texas Medical Center The University of Houston is awarding a President’s Medallion to Dr. Richard Wainerdi for his exceptional contributions in the medical field and for fostering collaborative initiatives that ultimately resulted in the University of Houston becoming a member of the Texas Medical Center. Wainerdi was elected president and chief executive officer of the Texas Medical Center in 1984 after his retirement from Gulf Oil Corporation. He spent 20 years with Texas A&M University in both scientific and academic affairs from 1957 to 1977. He founded Texas A&M University’s Nuclear Science Center, the Activation Analysis Research Laboratory, the German Synfuels Technology Retrieval Program, the Center for Energy and Mineral Resources and a number of other programs, including the university’s College of Medicine. Dr. Wainerdi is an adjunct professor of molecular physiology and biophysics; in the Department of Physical medicine and rehabilitation; and in the Department of Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. He also is an adjunct professor of restorative dentistry and biomaterials in the Dental Branch, a clinical professor in the School of Nursing and an adjunct professor in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at The University of Texas Houston Health Science Center. He is an adjunct professor of engineering, held jointly with the engineering program of Texas A&M University and The Institute of Biosciences and Technology. Wainerdi is a member of The University Cancer Foundation’s Board of Visitors of The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center as well. During his tenure at the Texas Medical Center, the campus increased dramatically by almost any measurement, including the number of acres, patient count, employees and the amount of funds awarded in research grants to the member institutions. His leadership has been one of successful coordination and collaboration for a 49-member institution campus. the university of houston president’s medallion

Bernard A. Harris Jr., MD, MBA, FACP Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner Vesalius Ventures Dr. Bernard Harris is being awarded a President’s Medallion for his contributions as a distinguished UH alumus, former astronaut, the first African American to walk in space, a pioneer in modern medicine and as the current CEO and managing partner of Vesalius Ventures, Inc., a venture capital firm that invest in early to mid stage healthcare technologies and companies. Harris also has served on numerous UH advisory boards, including the College of Technology advisory board, and President’s National Advisory Board among others. Prior to his work with Vesalius Ventures, Harris was at NASA for 10 years, where he conducted research in musculoskeletal physiology and disuse osteoporosis. Later, as head of the Exercise Countermeasure Project, he conducted clinical investigations of space adaptation and developed in-flight medical devices to extend astronaut stays in space, which involved the use of telemetry. A veteran astronaut for more than fifteen years, he has logged over 438 hours and traveled over 7.2 million miles in space. Harris served as vice president and chief scientist of SPACEHAB, Inc., an innovative space commercialization company, and later served as vice president of business development for Space Media, Inc., an Informatics company, establishing an e-commerce initiative. He also is on a number of boards and is an active consultant for institutions such as the Houston Angel Network, Houston Technology Center and the NASA Aerospace Safety Panel. Harris is the founder and president of the Harris Foundation, which supports math and science education and crime prevention programs for America’s youth. He earned a Bachelor of Science in biology from the University of Houston, a Master of Medical Science from The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, a Master of Business Administration from the University of Houston and a Doctorate of Medicine from Texas Tech University School of Medicine. He is the recipient of numerous awards and honorary doctorates, including the NASA Space Flight Medal, NASA Award of Merit and the 2000 Horatio Alger Award.

D. Ronald (Ron) Harrell, P.E. D. Ronald “Ron” Harrell is being awarded a President’s Medallion for his continued support and contributions to the University of Houston as both a generous donor and found member and current chair of the UH Petroleum Engineering Advisory Board. His contributions are especially appreciated because he is not a University of Houston alumus, but is very much a valued friend and leader. Harrell, a petroleum engineering (magna cum laude) graduate of Louisiana Tech University, maintained a consulting practice more than 40 years and continues as chairman emeritus of Ryder Scott Company Petroleum Consultants. He relinquished the CEO position in 2005 and retired as chairman in May 2006. He served as a Society of Petroleum Engineers lecturer in 2007-2008 and made 34 presentations in 17 countries. He is a licensed petroleum engineer in three states, has received numerous industry and academic awards and is an honorary life member of SPE and SPEE. Harrell continues to lead in establishing Professional Petroleum Reserves Evaluation Standards through industry committees, conferences and frequent speaking engagements. He has authored dozens of technical papers, articles and book chapters and he remains active in the industry in several capacities and serves on several boards of directors, including public and private corporations, universities and other not-for-profit organizations. Honorary Degrees

An honorary degree, or a degree honoris causa (Latin: ‘for the sake of the honour’), is an academic degree that the University of Houston confers as a way of honoring a distinguished visitor’s contributions to a specific field or to society in general.

Walter Kase Walter Kase is being recognized by the University of Houston for his unfaltering contributions to his community as he speaks out against discrimination, using his own heart-rendering personal history to set an example of bravery, survival and healing. His story has impressed the transformative values of respect and tolerance to younger and older generations alike. Kase is a Holocaust survivor who spends much of his time speaking to students, businesses and organizations about the harrowing experiences he suffered under Nazi tyranny. Born in Poland in 1930, Kase and his family were swept up in the events of the Holocaust in 1939, when they were given 15 minutes to leave their home and move into the Lodz ghetto. During the war, he endured forced labor camps and five concentration camps including Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. By the end of the war, Kase, then 15 years old, weighed only 64 pounds and suffered tuberculosis and a myriad of other ailments. He shares, “I saw my little sister shot before my eyes... I live the Holocaust just about every day of my life because I speak about it in schools.” Some would say that Walter Kase has reason to be angry and filled with hate towards others. Instead, he transformed the most horrific experience known to the world into a powerful, personal story that greatly impacts the lives of those he meets. On numerous occasions, Kase has met with University of Houston students, faculty and staff, most notably in the Graduate College of Social Work. In January 2006, H Texas Magazine identified him as one of Houston’s 25 most significant “Leaders and Legends.” The Anti Defamation League established The Walter Kase Teacher Excellence Award to honor teachers each year “who help create an ethic and atmosphere inside their schools that rejects prejudice, questions stereotype, and promotes diversity and confronts hate in all of its forms.” Honorary Degrees

Kenneth Parr For his success as a UH alumnus, an inventor, an entrepreneur and for his contributions to the nation’s space program, Mr. Kenneth Parr is hereby awarded an honorary degree from the University of Houston. Many of Mr. Parr’s successes came during his time with ESCO, initially a distributor of mechanical seal products for the oil and gas industry. Mr. Parr helped grow ESCO to a 139-person operation with a full service machine shop. At ESCO and later with his own company, Mr. Parr personally designed and built many of the products that included cardiopulmonary equipment for a medical devices, a tool used to inspect oil pipelines, and a photography system to quickly record courthouse documents. The highest profile client Mr. Parr worked with was NASA. Through these efforts, he played a role in some of the biggest moments in human history by building the flagpole planted into the surface of the moon during the Apollo 11 mission, leading projects involving the Lunar Rover and splashdown capsules, as well as components of spacesuits used on multiple missions. During the course of his work with the space program, Mr. Parr saved Skylab, the United States’ first space station. During its launch in 1973, a portion of the station’s sunshade/meteorite shield was damaged. Once in orbit, temperatures inside the station spiked, making it uninhabitable and threatening to cause the release of toxic gasses that would render make the multi-billion dollar station useless. In a matter of days, Mr. Parr and his team devised a sunshade/meteorite shield designed to be inserted through the hole in the damaged meteorite shield and then opened to lock in place permanently. In 1982, Mr. Parr opened his own machine shop, which would go on to build everything from research and development prototypes for a major petroleum company to medical implants. At the same time, he formed what would grow to become a highly successful private lending business. He is now living in semi-retirement in Richmond, Texas.

Herman D. Suit, M.D., D.Phil [Oxon] Dr. Herman D. Suit was unanimously approved to receive the Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, from the University of Houston for his groundbreaking work in radiation oncology, for his many acts of philanthropy and public service, and for his longtime support of the University of Houston and the UH College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Suit currently serves on the NSM Dean’s Advisory Board and is among the college’s top alumni donors. In addition to establishing a charitable annuity for endowed faculty support, Suit and his wife, Joan, provide annual support for a postdoctorate fellow in the Department of Chemistry and enjoys meeting with UH alumni, faculty and donors during his visits to campus. He was born in Houston in 1929. He received a B.Sc. in biology from the University of Houston and later a M.Sc. of biochemistry and M.D. in medicine from Baylor University Graduate School of Medicine. He completed his specialty training and research degree, a D.Phil. in radiation biology from Oxford University. Suit followed his educational journey with two years at the National Cancer Institute and 11 years at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. During his time there, he developed a procedure of limb salvage for patients with sarcomas of the extremities. He was responsible for the design and fabrication of the Fletcher-Suit Applicator used in some treatments of uterine and cervical cancer. In 1970, he accepted a position as chief of radiation oncology at the Massachusetts General Hospital and professor of radiation oncology at Harvard Medical School. In 2000, he stepped down from his chief post and has been active writing and teaching ever since. Candidates for graduation May 2011

May 2011 Dear University of Houston Graduate, You made it! Let me start by extending well-deserved congratulations to you and 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 220,000 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. Now, let’s make that pride official. On behalf of the Board of Directors of the University of Houston Alumni Association, I encourage you to join the Alumni Association for only $20. That’s a special discounted rate (from $50) reserved only for new graduates. To join, visit www.HoustonAlumni.com. Joining, however, is only the first step. We need alumni who are active, we need alumni who are involved, and we need alumni who take advantage of their many membership benefits: show up to one of our networking events and maybe find a new job or a new client; stop by the alumni tent before football games to enjoy free food and drink; submit a class note for publication in UH Alumni Quarterly; or use your membership card to purchase discounted tickets 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 activated Cougar. It’s worth noting that your membership also helps UH achieve Tier One status. Alumni participation is one of the categories that the Higher Education Coordinating Board considers when issuing Tier One funding. So not only will you receive the many membership perks, but you’ll also help put dollars in the university’s pocket—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. UHAA membership is one of the best ways to do that, and we promise to make you as proud of your alma mater as we already are proud of you. With best wishes,

Reece Rondon (’93, J.D. ‘95) Chair, Board of Directors University of Houston Alumni Association
