THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER One Hundred and Eighteenth Annual Commencement Ceremonies SUNDAY, JUNE SECOND NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTY-EIGHT In keeping with the nature of the ceremonies and in order that all may see and hear without distraction, it is requested that those in attendance refrain from smoking and conversation during the ceremonies and from moving onto the floor to take photographs. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated. Academic Attire The distinctive attire of those participating in the academic procession represents a tradition that reaches at least as far back as the fourteenth century when gowns similar to today' s became the required dress at many European universities. Gow1u were then a common form of apparel for both the clergy and the laity but today they survive chiefly in eccle­ siastical or academic ceremonies such as the one we shall witness this afternoon. The symbolism of the American style of regalia is described below. Variations may be observed in the attire of the graduates of for­ eign universities and of the several American institutions which have departed from tradition. The gowns for the three levels of degrees differ primarily in the sleeve. The bachelor's gown has long pointed sleeves and is worn closed. The master's gown is usually worn open and has long square-cut sleeves with slits through which the forearms protrude. The doctor's gown has large bell-shaped sleeves with three velvet crossbars on the upper portion of the arm and velvet trimming down the front of the gown. The mor­ tarboard derives from the Oxford cap and is generally black with a black tassel, although color is sometimes used to indicate the field in which the degree was awarded. Gold tassels denote the holders of doctorates. The most colorful portion of the academic costume is the hood which varies in length from three feet for bachelor's degrees to four feet for doctorates. The color of the lining indicates the institution which granted the degree. The University's color is yellow. For the nine colonial colleges the colors are: Harvard, crimson; William and Mary, green, gold, and silver; Yale, blue; Pennsylvania, red and blue; Princeton, orange and black; Columbia, light blue and white; Brown, brown; Rutgers, scarlet; and Dartmouth, green and white. Space does not permit listing the colors of all the colleges represented in the procession. The color of the edging of the hood indicates the subject to which the degree pertains, for example: Arts, Letters, and Humanities, white; Commerce, Accounting, and Business, drab; Dentistry, lilac; Education, light blue; Engineering, orange; Law, purple,' Medicine, green,- Music, pink,- Nurs­ ing, apricot,' Philosophy, dark blue; Science, golden yellow; and Theol­ ogy, scarlet.

EMORY BRACE REMINGTON Musicians, brought to technical perfection under leadership that makes them play better than they know, may fear admire, but rarely love their despotic benefactors. Discipline, severity, the pursuit of style and finish-all that the term professionalism implies will inspire affection only for one who is equally great as a teacher and a human being. Such is the unique achievement of Emory Remington, for near half a century the most celebrated and the most beloved teacher of a single instrument in the annals of the Eastman School of Music. Born in Rochester, he returned after study in New York and Philadelphia to become almost simulta­ neously principal trombonist of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and Professor of Trombone in the Eastman School of Music. Himself a master of the instrument, he created his own method, his own "school" of performing, teaching a legato, singing style that distinguishes his pupils as coming uniquely from his hand. Their presence on the roster of premier symphonic and operatic orchestras throughout the Western world testifies to the phenomenal consistency and effectiveness of the Remington mode. The University of Rochester, in recognition of his 46 years of unbroken success, bestows upon Emory Remington the seventh of the Edward Peck Curtis Awards for excellence in undergraduate teaching. WILLIAM EDWARD DOOLEY The performance of operatic music in the 20th Century has been marked by a phenomenon called the "American Voice," the sonorous yet lyrical baritone heard in the voices of Lawrence Tibbett, John Charles Thomas, Leonard Warren, and Robert Merrill. Popular acclaim now adds to this majestic company the name of William Dooley, at once the most Ameri· can and the most international of the talents that grace the lyric stage in our time. A Californian of Irish descent, he brought to the University of Rochester his fine natural gifts and here achieved an ideal union of the study of music and of English literature. After service in the armed forces and continued study in Germany, he advanced with remarkable assurance through provincial houses into the West Berlin Opera itself. A heroic capacity for work had prepared him for the supreme moment of his early career, the role of Iago in a performance of Verdi's Otello, starring the renowned Italian soprano, Renata Tebaldi. But they who had come to applaud "LaDiva Serena" remained to cheer the triumphant American. Of equal talent in music, drama and voice, William Dooley now com­ mands a repertory of more than 40 roles, standing forth in the world of music as the versatile, authoritative "house baritone" indeed indispens­ able to the contemporary production of grand opera.
