THE SEAL OF

From its earliest design honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary, to the coat of arms seal of today, the seal of Saint Xavier University symbolizes a proud history of Catholic education in Chicago.

This seal, designed by art department faculty membet Sister Mary Solina Hicks, R.S.M., includes: a black and white checkerboard and diagonal gold bars from the family coat of arms of Saint Francis Xavier; red and gold bars and a white Jetusalem cross taken from the shield of the of the Americas; an open book to represent education; and the Scripture verse, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life." (John 14:6)

Saint Xavier University continues to use this seal as a symbol of its heritage and mission.

MISSION STATEMENT

Saint Xavier University, a Catholic institution inspired by the heritage of the Sisters of Mercy, educates men and women to search for truth, to think critically, to communicate effectively, and to serve wisely and compassionately in support of human dignity and the common good.

CORE VALUES

The Saint Xavier University Community commits itself to practicing eight core values as it engages in a search for truth and knowledge, both for personal enhancement and to undetstand and improve our world.

Respect moves us to understand the gifts and unique contributions of every person in the University community and to value diverse perspectives.

Excellence commits us to challenge ourselves to utilize our God-given gifts: intellectual, social, physical, spiritual, and ethical.

Compassion compels us to stand with and embrace others in their suffering that, together, we may experience God's liberating and healing presence.

Service calls us to use our gifts, talents, and abilities to advance the genuine well being of our community and those we encounter.

Hospitality draws us to do our daily work with a spirit of graciousness that welcomes new ideas and people of all backgrounds and beliefs.

Integrity gives us the ability to realize the greater good in our actions and programs, and challenges us to look at our work and ourselves holistically and as one united with others across the globe.

Diversity builds a community that fosters a climate that is open and welcoming to diverse people, ideas, and perspectives; that promotes a constructive discourse on the nature of diversity; and that engages faculty, staff, and students in activities that promote the University's core values.

Learning for Life, in the libetal atts tradition, encourages us to pursue knowledge and truth throughout out lives in ways that improve our communities and ourselves and that strengthen our understanding of each other. A VISION OF OUR CATHOLIC IDENTITY

Saint Xavier University, founded and sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, is a Catholic University which shares in the tich tradition of Catholic liberal arts higher education in the United States. As a Catholic University, Saint Xavier participates in the mission of that tradition, which is to see that "the Christian mind may achieve, as it were, a public, persistent and universal presence in the whole enterprise of advancing higher culture." Saint Xavier's programs in arts and sciences, professional learning, its support services, its Pastoral Ministry Institute, and its rich liturgical life, provide ways to promote that mission.

The central activities of the University are teaching and learning. Excellence in teaching is paramount, allowing for the advancement of the fields of study through careful research, critical analysis, and thoughtful discussion. An essential condition of this activity is the academic freedom of faculty and students. The Catholic Church recognizes the fundamental dignity of all persons on whom the responsibility to seek the truth rests, and supports each person in the pursuit of truth, especially religious truth.

As a Catholic University of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, Saint Xavier shares in the commitment to act in solidarity with the economically poor of the world, especially women and children. The commitment to Mercy means that we care that all our students develop a voice in the conversation of the contemporary world, that we care that they achieve competence and pursue excellence in the arts and sciences, and that they infuse personal and professional practice with the spirit of liberal learning. The hospitality and compassion which marked the work of Catherine McAuley should be reflected in the life of the University community, the character of its education, and in its many services to the community.

As a Catholic University, Saint Xavier promotes the vigorous discussion of religious ideas. This conversation must strive to include the myriad and various voices of the Catholic tradition, past and present, as well as the voices of teachers and students from all traditions. It is a particularly Catholic purpose to understand the differences among these voices clearly and distinctly, to celebrate these differences, to discern what these voices have in common, and to engage them in conversation with the Catholic tradition.

As a Catholic University, Saint Xavier is inspired by the Christian message of love of God and love of neighbot. Its administrators, faculty, staff, and students must dedicate themselves to the pursuit of academic excellence in the context of respect, caring, and justice.

MERCY HERITAGE

Foundet and sponsor of Saint Xavier University, the religious congregation of the Sistets of Mercy originated in Dublin, Ireland. Today, the Sisters of Mercy number over 11,000 members and serve in 21 countries including North, Central, Latin, and South America, Europe, South Africa, Guam, the Philippines, New Zealand, Australia, and Ireland. The Sisters of Mercy sponsor 18 colleges and universities in the United States and setve over 26,000 students.

HISTORY

Founded in 1831 by Mother Mary Catherine McAuley, and known as "the walking Sisters," this congregation of Roman Catholic women moved beyond convent walls to walk amid and serve the poor, the sick, and the uneducated of their day. Such "secular" work outside the walls of the convent was unusual at the time because most communities of women religious were cloistered and had little contact with anyone outside the walls of the cloister. In 1843, of Mercy left Dublin and sailed to the United States to establish the first Mercy Foundation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1846, the needs of Irish immigrants drew the Sisters of Mercy from Pittsburgh to the pioneer town that was Chicago.

Under the guidance of Mother Frances Xavier Warde, for whom the Watde Academic Center at Saint Xavier University is named, five Sisters of Mercy, all under the age of 25, arrived in a diocese that was barely three years old. The first and only group of women religious in Chicago for the next ten years, the Sisters quickly established St. Francis Xavier Female Academy, the forerunner of Saint Xavier University and The Mother McAuley Liberal Arts High School.

Within eight years after their arrival, all but one of the original groups of SXU founders had died, most as a result of the nursing care they gave to victims of the cholera epidemic. But other Sisters of Mercy came and joined in spreading the Good News of the Gospel by their good example, through their prayer, tireless good works and acts of compassion and hospitality, and institutional ministries.

HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS

• In 1852, the Sisters of Mercy founded Chicago's first permanent general "Hospital and Orphan Asylum," now known as Mercy Hospital and Medical Center.

• During the Civil War, some Sisters of Mercy went South to nurse the Union Army, courageous service that drew a commendation from President Abraham Lincoln. Others stayed in Chicago to tend Confederate prisoners of war who were interned at Camp Douglas at 39th and Lake Shore Drive.

• Sisters of Mercy spread out across the Midwest to setve parishes and to establish schools in other parts of Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa.

• On Octobet 8,1871, the Sisters of Mercy watched 25 years of service to Chicago go up in smoke, even as they shepherded student boarders and women residents to safety through the rubble of the Great Chicago Fire.

• In 1921, the Sisters of Mercy began to house and care for unwed mothets, a work that evolved to the care of physically and mentally limited people at Misericordia Homes.

• In 1956, Saint Xavier Academy, both a high school and a college, moved to 103rd and Central Park, the current site of both SXU's Chicago Campus and The Mothet McAuley Liberal Arts High School.

• The Sisters of Mercy currently sponsor, co-sponsor, or staff a variety of other ministries, including the Provena Health System, Mercy Housing, Inc., Saint Catherine's Residence for women in ttansition, and Marian Lake Villa, a continuum-of-care retirement community being jointly developed by six religious congregations.

Since 1846, Saint Xavier University has benefited from the continuous support of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas who currently number over 5,000 Sisters and over 2,300 Associates. Through their ministries, characterized by respect, compassion, hospitality, service, and excellence, the Sisters of Mercy and their lay Associates promote and celebrate their heritage at SXU. PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT

Saint Xavier University continues to build upon the ideals of its founders and sponsors, the Sisters of Mercy, who in 1846, inspired by their Catholic faith and its mandate of union and charity, established an academy defined by intellectual rigor in the tradition of the Liberal Arts, the encouragement of religious faith, and action in solidarity with the economically poor of the world, especially women and children.

Consistent with this tradition, the University offers challenging undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs, characterized by a collegial alliance of faculty, students, staff, administration, and community members who are committed to providing course work, resources, activities, and instructional facilities that support excellence in teaching and learning. While chiefly concerned with students' intellectual development, the University also supports their moral and spiritual growth, and enhances their capacity for leadership through co-curricular programs.

At the heart of the academic mission is the University's commitment to a strong general education program that introduces students to college life and learning, broadens their knowledge in the arts and sciences, helps them integrate learning and community concerns, and prepares them for success in their major fields of study and life after graduation. In all programs of study, the University encourages the examination of fundamental questions of human concern, respectful dialogue in the context of diverse points of view and experience, as well as the search for truth and justice.

In an atmosphere of intellectual rigor made possible by academic freedom, University faculty develop and teach courses in their areas of advanced study, extend research in their disciplines, produce scholarly and creative work, and serve the University and community. Faculty are also responsible for academic policies and the design and content of the University curriculum. In teaching, scholarship, and service, faculty represent one of the most visible examples of the intellectual life of the University.

Students at Saint Xavier encounter a wide range of course work, co-curricular activities, community experiences, and support services designed to enhance theit learning at all levels, and to help them develop more fully as confident, contributing citizen leaders of an ever-increasingly complex and global community. The University seeks students of diverse talents, experiences, knowledge, interests, and cultures who are willing and prepared to learn, and to seek excellence in themselves and others.

Vital to the success of teaching and learning are the dedicated members of variously skilled academic support services and the administrative leadership charged with fostering strategic planning, institutional assessment, and effective stewardship and deployment of University resources.

The enduring fellowship of alumni, emeriti faculty, Sisters of Mercy sponsors, trustees, and other friends and contributors in the community at large demonstrate their continuing faith in the central mission of Saint Xavier through various acts of giving, prayer, and support.

Infusing this community of shared concern are the distinctive qualities and values of Saint Xavier University, including the belief that faith and reason can interact in mutually fruitful ways. Therefore, the University membership encourages a full search for truth, including religious truth, while respecting freedom of personal expression. It also promotes a vigorous and compassionate dialogue among the various faith traditions, and between them and the academic disciplines. At its foundation, teaching and learning at Saint Xavier are premised upon and committed to the fundamental dignity and unique worth of each human person. 2008 HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT CITATION HONORING MR.

14 THE SUSPICE OF MOTHER CATHERINE MCAULEY (1778-1841) Foundress of the Religious Sisters of Mercy (1831) Declared Venerable by Pope John Paul II (1990)

My God, I am thine for all eternity;

teach me to cast my whole self into the arms of Thy Providence

with the most lively unlimited confidence

in Thy compassionate, tendet pity.

"Grant, O most Merciful Redeemer,

that whatever Thou dost ordain or permit

may always be acceptable to me;

take from my heart all painful anxiety,

suffer nothing to afflict me, but sin;

nothing to delight me, but the hope of coming

to the possession of Thee, my God,

in Thy own everlasting Kingdom. Amen."

The original wording of "The Suspice" as found in Catherine McAuley and the Tradition of Mercy, by Mary C. Sullivan, R.S.M.

t Deceased 31 THE CEREMONIAL MACE

Saint Xavier University introduced a ceremonial mace to the commencement procession in January 2004- The mace is an ornamental staff that has historically symbolized academic authority and adds to the pageantry of the ceremony. The Saint Xavier University mace consists of a carved walnut staff adorned with the Saint Xavier seal, cast in bronze and is ushered in by an honored faculty member serving as the grand marshal of the procession. The mace is displayed in the University's Byrne Memorial Library.

ACADEMIC DRESS AND PROCESSION

"The formal academic regalia being worn today had their origin in the clerical costumes of medieval Europe and have evolved into a great variety of patterns and styles. Late in the last century, the American colleges and universities agreed to standardize their regalia; however, there is now a movement to return to individual designs for each institution.

The gown worn by those holding or receiving the bachelor's degree is plain black with pointed sleeves. The master's gown was characterized by a unique, long, closed sleeve with a slit at the elbow, through which the arm protruded; thus peculiarity is now being replaced by a sleeve more like that of the bachelor's. The doctoral gown has very full bell sleeves and is trimmed with velvet in panels down the front and in strips across the sleeves. This trim may be either black or in a color that denotes the particular type of doctorate - royal blue for the Ph.D., green for the M.D, and various others.

The familiar mortarboard cap bears only a faint resemblance to its close relative, the clerical biretta. Some institutions now specify a soft cap somewhat like a tam o'shantet. The bachelor's decorate the cap with a tassel in black or the color indicative of the degree. Master's wear black tassels; the doctors wear either black or metallic gold.

Most symbolic and informative of the regalia is the hood, which is no longer raised over the head, but is hung down the back, just as a cleric wore it when baring the head in church. The bachelor's hood is three feet long, the master's is three-and-one-half feet, and the doctor's is four feet long with a rectangular panel, which once served as a shoulder cap when the hood was raised. A curious short tail at the peak of the hood is all that now remains of a long strip, which was wrapped around the throat as a scarf. All of the hoods have a velvet border in the color of the degree according to the same system used for the trim of the doctoral gown.

In the Middle Ages, academic hoods were lined with miniver, lamb's wool, or rabbit fur - a necessity in unheated schools and churches. By the 14th century, professors wore silk-lined hoods in summer; satin is now used to line the hoods. The colors and patterns of the satin lining of the hood identify the college or university conferring the degree."
