His name is not quite as ubiquitous as Kilroy’s, but it is close. From the palatial homes of Greenwich, to the gleaming office complexes of Stamford to the quiet neighborhoods surrounding Sacred Heart University, William H. Pitt’s name can be found on thousands of signs posted throughout the region. It’s been that way for nearly five decades, a period during which Pitt has built one of the most successful real estate businesses in the country. In doing so, he has helped shape the state and affected the lives and businesses of countless numbers of people. Pitt started his business in 1949 in Stamford with a telephone and a $6 desk. His office was located in a four-story mercantile building that his great-grandfather built in the 1880s on Main and Pacific streets. The site is now part of the Stamford Town Center mall. Over the years, he hdlped to sell thousands of homes. He also was instru­ mental in helping to establish Fairfield County as the nation’s “Gold Coast.’’ His firm was instrumental in recruiting such internationally respected corporations as American Can, GTE, Schweppes and Xerox to southwestern Connecticut during the 1970s, bringing new-found wealth and opportunity to the state and region. Still the chairman and chief executive officer, Pitt’s billion-dollar company is now comprised of US offices and 400 agents and staff. His company also continues to be based in his hometown of Stamford. “I like Stamford,” Pitt once told a reporter about the town where he was born in 1927. “I’ve lived here all my life. To me, it seemed to be the ideal opportunity to have my work here.” The fact that Pitt decided to stay home has also been ideal for Stamford and surrounding communities that have benefited from his generosity and community service. From 1952 to 1957, Pitt served as a member and later as chairman of the Stamford Urban Redevelopment Commission and helped resurrect the then-troubled city. The commission arranged to buy rundown properties with federal aid, then sell them to people who would build new homes or commercial buildings. Pitt has also been a longtime, active supporter and donor to many charities, including the Boy’s and Girl’s Club of Stamford, assisting that organization by sponsoring scholarships for worthy young scholars. The club recognized his outstanding contributions to its good work by naming its new gymnasium after him in 1994. Two years ago, Pitt pledged $50(),()()() toward the endowment of the St. Joseph Medical Center in Stamford, a non-emergency, comprehensive healthcare facility operated by the Diocese of Bridgeport. He also established the William H. Pitt III Foundation, which has given generously to many worthwhile health and education organizations, including Sacred Heart University. On this 21st day of May 1995, Sacred Heart University is honored and pleased to confer its highest accolade, the degree Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, upon

William Pitt III Diane Carlson Gmns

Women’s role in the Vietnam War received a modicum of attention until Diane Carlson Evans’ enduring personal campaign. A former Army nurse and Vietnam veteran, Evans envisioned a memorial to honor the mote than 265,000 women who served during the Vietnam era. While acknowledging that the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., bore the names of eight women nurses who were killed, she believed this memotial, with its statue of thtee fighting men, did not fully recognize women’s contributions. “Women are also soldiers. Women also need to heal. 'I'heir service is worthy of honor and recognition,” said Evans, who formed a non-profit organization, the Women’s Vietnam Memorial Project, Inc., to help het pursue her dream. Nearly a decade of rejection and struggle ensued, nearly 10 years of turning obstacles into stepping stones passed — “There were times when I told my family this is just too painful, this is just too hard,” she remembers — before Evans and a core group of 75 saw their endeavor reach fruition. On Veteran’s Day 1993, more than 35,000 people from throughout the world gathered in the nation’s capital to witness the unveiling of the Women’s Vietnam Memotial statue on the grounds of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Wreaths, flowers, cards, letters. Purple Hearts and other artifacts were placed at the base of the statue by hundreds of veterans. Vice President A1 Gore, himself a Vietnam veteran, issued these words of praise for his sister veterans during the two-hour ceremony: “Let’s all resolve that this memorial serves as a vehicle for healing our nation’s wounds. Let’s never again take so long in honoring a debt.” Evans, a native of Buffalo, Minn., graduated as a registered nurse from St. Barnabas Hospital School of Nursing in Minneapolis. As a captain in the Atmy Nurse Corps, she spent six years in the military, including service in Vietnam (1968-69) as a staff nurse in the surgical and burn wards at Vung Tau and later as head nurse in a surgical unit at Pleiko. After her four children were born, she counseled Vietnam veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, as chair of the Vietnam Women’s Memotial Board of Directors, Evans volunteers full-time and serves as liaison with veterans’ organizations. She also participates in educational activities throughout the United States, speaking at universities and schools and before civic and humanitarian organizations. True to her roots, she continues to reside in the Minnesota community of Northfield with her husband, Michael, and their children. For her years of nursing our nation’s wounded and for her quest to illuminate women’s heroic efforts in Vietnam, Evans has received a multitude of awards from the Veterans of Foreign Wars and other veterans’ groups, from the Center for Women’s Policy Studies and other women’s organizations, and from universities and civic groups. On this 21st day of May 1995, Sacred Heart University bestows an extraordinary honor on itself as it confers the degree. Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, upon

Diane Carlson Evans Slie^^Wiesd

rhis world-renowned philosopher, scholar and author of more than 35 books was the first to use the term “Holocaust” to describe the systematic killing of six million Jews by the Nazis. Some call him “the spiritual archivist of the Holocaust.” A survivor of the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps, Elie Wiesel has dedicated his life and his work to the memory of his parents and sister and all other Holocaust victims. His first book, published in the United States in 1960, was a revelation to countless millions of people who became awakened to the horrors of Nazism. His other books have explored all dimensions of living and surviving with this horror. The Nobel Peace Prize-winner and recipient of the U.S. Congressional Gold Medal of Achievement — one of the highest honors bestowed upon a civilian —continues to contribute to his standing as a writer and educator of global and historical significance. Wiesel said the best part about receiving the Nobel Prize in 1986 was that it would permit him to “speak louder” and “reach more people” for the causes that have driven him throughout his life. “I dedicate the prize to my fellow survivors and their children,” he said at the time. “The honor is not mine alone.” Wiesel has never been afraid to speak forcefully in defending the rights of all people. He has spoken out for South Africa’s black population suffering under the injustice of apartheid, the “boat people” of Indochina, the Miskito Indians of Nicaragua, and on behalf of political prisoners across the globe. Even when being honored, Wiesel has not forgotten his principles. In 1985, when former President Ronald Reagan pre.sented him the Congressional Gold Medal of Achievement in recognition of his leadership as chairman of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, Wiesel tried to dissuade the president from making an announced visit to a military cemetery at Bitzburg that contains the graves of members of the Nazi elite, the S.S. His comments, however strong, were dignified and respectful. “That place, Mr. President, is not your place. Your place is with the victims of the S.S.” At the same time, Wiesel affirmed his support for a reconciliation with the German people and his opposition to the notion of collective guilt. Wiesel was born to Shlomo and Sarah Wiesel on September 30, 1928 in the town of Sighet in Northern Transylvania. His childhood ended abruptly in the spring of 1944 when the Nazis ordered the deportation of 15,000 Sighet Jews to the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. He was later sent to Buchenwald in Germany. Both his parents and a sister perished in the camps. After being liberated by the U.S. Third Army on April 11, 1945 he dreamed of going to Palestine, the hope of many Jewish survivors, but he grew to manhood in France. For three years he studied at The Sorbonne in Paris, later becoming a journalist and moving to the United States. Wiesel was married on the eve of Passover, 1969 to Marion Erster Rose. The couple has one son, Shlomo Elisha. They reside in New York City, from which Wiesel commutes regularly to Boston, where he has served since 1976 as Andrew Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University. On this 21st day of May 1995, during the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camps. Sacred Heart University brings extraordinary honor to itself as it confers its highest accolade, the degree Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, upon

The Name

Sacred Heart University was founded in 1963 by the Most Reverend Walter W. Curtis, S.T.D., the second Bishop of the Diocese of Bridgeport, to provide an institution of higher education that would serve the needs of the people of the diocese and region, regardless of their sex, race, creed or religion. In October 1962, Bishop Curtis announced both the plan to open a college the following Septembet, and its name, “Sacred Heart.” The choice of name had a dual origin: it was the name of the Bishop’s first pastorate in Bloomfield, N.J., and was a pledge from the Bishop attesting to the value of such an institu­ tion. In his own words. Bishop Curtis stated, “Sacred Heart University’s name is a pledge to establish and uphold religious values as God’s plan for human life - indeed, as a goal for individual lives. University graduates need to make a liv­ ing - but, more, they need to make a life. The challenge is to discover the changless values and principles that form the foundation for such a life and enhance dignity, and to encourage people to embrace them. In this quest, reli­ gion and God help, not hinder.”

The Mission

Sacred Heart University is a co-educational, independent, comprehensive institution of higher learning in the Catholic intellectual tradition whose prima­ ry objective is to prepare men and women to live in and make their contribu­ tions to the human community. The University aims to assist in the development of people who are knowl­ edgeable of self, rooted in faith, educated in mind, compassionate in heart, responsive to social and civic obligations, and able to respond to an ever-chang­ ing world. It does this by calling forth the intellectual potential of its students, nurturing each one’s spiritual and moral growth, and deepening in them a sense of social responsibility. The University is committed to combining edu­ cation for life with preparation for professional excellence. Sacred Heart University is Catholic in tradition and spirit. As a Catholic uni­ versity, it seeks to play its appropriate role in the modern world. It exemplifies in its life the Judeo-Christian values of the God-given freedom and dignity of every human person. Inspired by the ecumenical spirit of the Second Vatican Council, Sacred Heart University welcomfes men and women of all religious traditions and beliefs who share its concerns for truth, scholarship, the dignity of the human person, freedom, and the betterment of human society. It values religious diversity as enhancing the University community and creating oppor­ tunities for dialogue in the common search for truth. Through its curricular and co-curricular activities and campus ministry programs, the University provides the context in which students have the opportunity to appropriate in a critical fashion their own religious traditions. Sacred Heart Univetsiry challenges its students to think critically, analyze carefully, evaluate with a sense of justice and proportion, and convey conclu­ sions in an intelligible and articulate fashion. The University provides the environment in which its students can develop the aesthetic dimension of life by nuttuting their abilities to imagine, create, and appreciate. It assists students to acquire their responsibilities as conveyers and creators of culture and family. As a community of teachers and scholars. Sacred Heart University exists fot the putsuit of truth. It joins with other colleges and universities in the task of expanding human knowledge and deepening human understanding. It encourages and supports the scholarly and artistic work of its faculty and stu­ dents. Further, it has a responsibility to shate its resouces and its special gifts and talents for the betterment of the human community. All members of the University community are strongly encouraged to participate in the wider com­ munity through service to others, especially the poor. From its founding, the University has been tecognized for its caring approach to students. This approach expresses the University’s belief that each student is botn with a unique set of qualities and skills. It respects the personal and academic freedom of each of its members while at the same time fostering a genuine experience of community. By so doing, it creates the environment in which each person in the University shares in common goals and a common commitment to truth, justice and concern for others. '

The Mace

During the Middle Ages, the wood mace clad in metal was an effective weapon in battle, but as newer and more powerful military arms developed, it was transformed into a symbol of dignity and authority. The earliest ceremonial maces were borne by bodyguards of 12th century English and French kings; by the end of the 16th century, they were used widely by officials of English cities and towns. Today, the use of the ceremonial mace is found in the British House of Parliament, carried before ecclesiastical dignitaries and in university and college commencements and envocations. 'Fhe Sacred Heart University Mace traditionally is carried by the seniot tenured faculty member and represents the President’s responsibility as the chief academic and administrative officetof the University. Commissioned by President Anthony). Cernera, Ph.D., to mark the University’s 25th com­ mencement, the mace is made of rosewood, mahogany, walnut and bronze. nMiiversiiu ^idoru

The Seal

The official seal of Sacred Heart University was designed by Frank Sullivan, an art teacher in New Jersey, and was introduced on July 22, 1963. Sullivan was commissioned to design the seal by his friend. Dr. Maurice J. O’Sullivan, Sacred Heart University’s first Academic Dean, who came here from New Jersey’s Seton Hall University. The original pen and ink hangs today in the Diocesan museum at the Catholic Center on Jewett Avenue in Bridgeport. The original seal consists of a shield, a surrounding wreath of hearts and flowers, the symbol of the the Sacred Heart, and the inscription “Universitas Sacri Cordis” in large letters on the outside of the seal and “Dioecesis Bridgeportensis, 1963” on the inner circle. The shield consists of a dexter - the right hand side of a shield (the left as seen by the viewer) - and a sinister - the left hand side of a shield (the right as seen by the viewer). The dexter impalement bears, according the custom in ecclesiastical heraldry, the jurisdictional arms of the Diocese of Bridgeport. The sinister impalement displays the personal coat of arms of The Most Reverend Walter W. Curtis, S.T.D., the founder of Sacred Heart University and the second Bishop of the Diocese of Bridgeport. By joining these arms to the Diocesan impalement on the same shield, the spiritual union of a Bishop with his See is heralded. Sometime in the early 1980s, the wreath of hearts and flowers was changed to a simple wreath of laurels, probably the result of a liberal designer’s handi­ work to make the seal more readable in a reduced size.

Tradition holds that the cap and gown were first used in ancient Greece when only youths of wealthy parents or ones with patrons attended school. The wise teachers of the time believed that fine clothing and jewels should not be worn by the scholar, but rather that the scholar should wear the garments of the workman. In the United States, the gown commonly worn by both the associate’s and bachelor’s degrees has pointed sleeves (with a slit for the arm). It is designed to be worn closed. The gown for the master’s degree has an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist. The gown for the doctor’s degree has bell-shaped open sleeves. All gowns are black and without trimming with the exception of the doctor’s, which normally is trimmed with velvet, has three bars or chevrons on the sleeves and may be in distinctive color(s) governed by the school granting that degree. Master’s and doctor’s gowns may be worn open. Upon graduation, each student of old carried a mortarboard showing the student to be a mason of the future destined to build empires or cities or foun­ tains of wisdom on the firm foundation of knowledge. To this day, graduates wear the mortarboard cap and gown, symbolizing that they are builders of the future of humankind. The history of the hood, with which degree recipients are invested, dates back to 13th century England. Whether its origin is ecclesiastical or secular has never been settled. Hoods are two-and-one-half feet long for the associate’s , three-feet long for the bachelor’s , three- and-one-half for the master’s and four-feet for the doctor’s degree. The hood is lined with the colors of the institution - red and white, in the case of Sacred Heart University. The color of the trim indicates the academic degree - white for arts, letters and humanities (B.A.), golden yellow for science (B.S.). The hoods of those with graduate degrees, as well as the tassels on the mor­ tarboards of the undergraduates, are often in the color associated with the acad­ emic field of specialization as follows: White (Arts, Letters and Humanities), Drab (Business), Light Blue (Education), Brown (Fine Arts), Purple (Law), Crimson (Media Studies), Apricot (Nursing), Dark Blue (Philosophy), Golden Yellow (Science), Citron (Sociology/Social Work/Criminal Justice), Scarlet (Theology/Religious Studies).
