Annual Commencement / Northwestern University NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY \"\ //>;7(/,/ ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT JUNE 22, 1991 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT 9:30 A.M., SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1991 McGAW MEMORIAL HALL, EVANSTON, ILLINOIS . UNIVERSITY SEAL AND MOTTO Soon after Northwestern University was founded, its Board of Trus- tees adopted an official corporate seal. This seal, approved on June 26, 1856, consisted of an open book surrounded by rays of light and circled by the words Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. Thirty years later, Daniel Bonbright, professor of Latin and a member of Northwestern's original faculty, redesigned the seal, retaining the book and light rays and adding two quotations. On the pages of the open book he placed a Greek quotation from the Gos- pel of Saint John, chapter 1, verse 14, translating to The Word . full ofgrace and truth. Circling the book are the first three words, in Latin, of the University motto: Quaecumque sunt vera (What- soever things are true). The outer border of the seal carries the name of the University and the date of its founding. This seal, which remains Northwestern's official signature, was approved by the Board of Trustees on December 5, 1890. The full text of the University motto, adopted on June 17, 1890, is from the Epistle of Saint Paul to the Phillippians, chapter 4, verse 8: Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 2 COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM 5 HONORARY DEGREES 6 GRADUATES AND CANDIDATES* College of Arts and Sciences 8 Medical School 12 School of Law 14 School of Speech 17 Dental School 18 School of Music 20 J.

Lawrence Daly, U.S. Army (Ret.) Michael Danahy, Ph.D. Robert Goodwin Robert Lowry Tom Maher Jim Quinn, Ph.D. Paul Saunders John Sexton, Ph.D. Gabelli School of Business Robert Ruotolo CLASS SURVEY AND COMMEMORATIVE BOOKLET DESIGN Elmer Brunsman “A LOOK BACK” Presenter: Paul Saunders Moderator: Elmer Brunsman The Transition The Transition Generation, classes that entered college in 1959 and the early ’60s, graduating in Generation 1963–1968, are now “Golden Rams.” Here’s how we were then and how we are now. The mid-1960s graduating classes now celebrating their 50th anniversaries are the transition generation linking the United States—culture, politics, technology, communications, religion, social justice—as it was before to what it has become. What a remarkable time in history we have lived through! We are a lucky generation, the college generation starting with the 1959 high school class that graduated college in 1963. We didn’t realize or appreciate it at the time—with neither the limitations of our forebears nor the coming challenges for our descendants—but open horizons, some of our own making, were before us. We are a generation that was earthbound in our teens and entered outer space and landed on the moon in our 20s! Serendipitously, our college years corresponded with the papacy of John XXXIII, who was described as a transition pope. We graduated out of the ’50s into the new era inaugurated by the ’60s.

  • A Distinguished Private University
    A DISTINGUISHED PRIVATE UNIVERSITY The founding of New York University in 1831 by a group of eminent private citizens was a historic event in American education. In the early 19th century, a major emphasis in higher education was on the study of Greek and Latin, with little attention to modern or contemporary subjects. The founders of New York University intended to enlarge the scope of higher education to meet the needs of persons aspiring to careers in business, industry, science, and the arts, as well as law, medicine, and the ministry. The opening of the University of London in 1828 convinced New Yorkers that their city, too, should have a university. The first president of New York University's governing council, Albert Gallatin, and his co-founders said that the new university was to be a "national university" that would provide a "rational and practical education for all." The result of the founders' foresight is today an institution of higher education at the forefront of America's urban research universities. Of the more than 3,000 colleges and universities in America, New York University is one of the 58 private institutions that are members of the distinguished Association of American Universities. Among its stellar – and accessible – faculty are recipients of the Nobel, Abel, and Pulitzer Prizes; the MacArthur, Guggenheim, and Fulbright Fellowships; and Academy and Emmy Awards. The University includes 14 schools, colleges, and divisions at six major centers in Manhattan. In addition, the University operates branch campus programs in Westchester County at Manhattanville College and in Rockland County at Dominican College.
