THE U NIVERSITY OF A KRON

M AY 12, 13 AND 14, 2017 E DWIN J. THOMAS P ERFORMING A RTS H ALL The University of Akron: A Proud Tradition

he Ohio Universalist Convention established a small, liberal arts college in Akron in 1870 and named it for one of the city’s promi- nent industrialists, John R. Buchtel. It was Buchtel who led a group Tof 100 individuals and 13 businesses in a fundraising campaign to build the college. On July 4, 1871, thousands of area citizens turned out to witness the results of that initiative, joining in a great celebration as the cornerstone was laid for a single but impressive structure that constituted Buchtel College. Both a visionary and a pragmatist, Buchtel believed that the vigor of any city is closely tied to the proximity of a high quality institution of higher educa- tion. Decades of progress, both for the city and for the college he helped to launch, have proven him right. Today, The University of Akron is the region’s most influential public research university. With more than 23,000 students and 300–plus associate, baccalaureate, and master’s degree programs and options, as well as 20 doctoral degree programs and four law degrees, UA offers career- focused, real-world learning opportunities. From polymers and psychology, to engineering and communications, to business and education, UA brings together diverse backgrounds in ways that provide students with the skills that employers value. Since 1914, the University has been accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, and it is currently classified at the highest level as a comprehensive, doctoral-degree-granting institution. Today, more than 176,000 of its alumni live and work around the world.

H The University of Akron Honorary Degree Recipient

Ted A. Mallo will receive the Honorary Doctor of Laws. Ted A. Mallo Ted A. Mallo has been an active member of The University of Akron community for more than half a century, participating in the life of the institution as a student, student-athlete, student leader, alumnus, faculty member, administrator, chief legal counsel and Board of Trustees officer. He was employed full-time with The University of Akron from 1969 until his retirement in 2016. Over the course of his illustrious career, he served eight University presidents and gained distinction as the longest continuously serving assistant attorney general and general counsel among all Ohio state universities. On December 7, 2016, The University of Akron Board of Trustees voted to confer on him the titles of general counsel emeritus and professor of practice “in recognition of his invaluable leadership, selfless dedication and service, and exemplary achievements.” Mallo’s history with the University began in 1962, when he enrolled for classes following graduation from South High School in Akron. He eventually earned three degrees here: a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 1967, a Master of Science in Educational Administration in 1968, and a Juris Doctor in 1972. He was admitted to the State of Ohio Bar in 1972, was admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court, Northern District in 1980, and admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court in 1983. He served as an assistant attorney general for the State of Ohio for 34 years, beginning in 1983. The role of “educator” made up a prominent part of Mallo’s career, beginning in 1967 when he was hired by the Akron Public School system as a licensed secondary school teacher in biology, chemistry and physics. He joined The University of Akron in 1969 as an adviser to students, became director of the University’s Student Legal Programs in 1972, and in 1976 was named director of the Office of Legal Affairs. He eventually served as an adjunct associate professor in The University of Akron’s College of Education, a member of the University’s graduate faculty, and as an adjunct faculty member of UA’s School of Law. He was named the University’s first general counsel and elected assistant secretary to the Board of Trustees in 1989. He was elected secretary to the Board from 1994-2015 and again in 2016. Mallo served as the chief legal adviser to the president, the Board of Trustees and University officers and administrators for 27 years. He also was UA’s liaison officer for the Ohio Inspector General from 1993 until his retirement, and served as the University’s industrial security supervisor. Mallo coordinated and directed the institution’s legal affairs and assisted administrative units with the legal requirements or impact of actions or policies having legal significance to the management, operations or other interests of The University of Akron. During his tenure as general counsel, he supervised the defense or prosecution of all litigation matters involving the University while also providing preventative and proactive legal direction in all matters involving University policies, legislation, contracts, acquisitions, employment policies and practices, law enforcement, etc. He directed or provided counsel on federal, state and associational compliance reviews and investigations. He also has been active in many community affairs, and was elected three times to the Green Local Schools Board of Education, where he served as its president and vice president. He and his wife JoAnn reside in Green and have three grown children and nine grandchildren. The Honorary Doctor of Laws will be presented him at the School of Law’s commencement ceremony on May 21, 2017.

seventy . Statue of John R. Buchtel

This statue of John R. Buchtel stands in the middle of the campus he helped found in 1870.

seventy-one The Alma Mater

Chorus

The Alma Mater for The University of Akron was written by the Rev. Augustus B. Church, who was the last Universalist clergy to serve as president of Buchtel College (1901–1912). He was also the firstperson ­ to assume the board responsibilities of chief executive officer. In fact, Church served both aspresident ­ and as a trustee of the institution — as well as pastor of the First Universalist Church of Akron. Dr. Church understood the importance of higher education as a means to improve society, and he worked diligently on projects to successfully link the educational efforts of Buchtel College with the needs of a growing city. During his presidency, Buchtel College offered the world’s first courses in rubber chemistry (1909).
