A member of the SMU faculty since 1968, he served as chair of the Department of Earth Sciences from 1982–1986. Blackwell is best known for his studies of the thermal structure of the continental crust. He is co-discoverer of the relationship between surface heat flow and surface heat production from radioactivity, which is significant for understanding Earth’s thermal history. His work on the thermal structure of sedimentary basins is important for understanding the origin of oil and gas and enhanced geothermal systems, a renewable source of future clean energy. A major proponent of commercialization of geothermal energy, Blackwell has served as president of the Geothermal Resources Council and received its Aidlin Award for outstanding contributions to the development of geothermal energy. His leadership in developing the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Geothermal Database will facilitate the future development of geothermal energy. Blackwell is a Fellow of the Geological Society of America. He retires as Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences.

Margaret H. Dunham Margaret (Maggie) H. Dunham is Professor of Computer Science and Engineering in Lyle School of Engineering. She received B.A. and M.S. degrees in mathematics from Miami University in Ohio. After earning a Ph.D. in computer science from SMU, she joined SMU’s engineering faculty in 1984. She served her department as associate chair and director of both undergraduate and graduate studies. In 1995 she was a Visiting Academic at the University of Queensland in Australia. She served as president of the SMU Faculty Senate from 1996–1997. Dunham’s current research interests are in the areas of data mining and bioinformatics. She is the author of a popular text, Data Mining Introductory and Advanced Topics, which has been translated into Chinese and Greek. A Fulbright grant supported teaching based on her book at the Indian Institute of Information Technology in Allahabad. Dunham served as associate editor of the IEEE Transaction on Knowledge and Data Engineering and as editor of the ACM SIGMOD Record. She was general conference chair for the ACM SIGMOD/PODS conference held in Dallas. She has published more than 100 technical papers and served as a consultant for numerous companies. She retires as Professor Emerita of Computer Science and Engineering.

8 CONFERRING OF HONORARY DEGREES

James Robert Biard, Doctor of Science James Robert Biard received the world’s first patent for the light-emitting diode (LED), shared in 1961 with his colleague Gary Pittman while they worked together at Texas Instruments. Today LEDs are found in devices from digital clocks and remote controls to television screens and traffic lights. Biard earned B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Texas A&M University. In addition to the LED, he holds more than 75 U.S. and foreign patents for his inventions, including the metal oxide semiconductor read-only memory (MOSROM) and Schottky clamped logic circuits. Other devices developed by Biard include one of the first transistor DC differential amplifiers and transimpedance amplifiers for use in fiber optic receivers. Biard was chief scientist of the Honeywell MICRO SWITCH division from 1987 to 1998. He remains a consultant to Honeywell and is employed by Finisar. He also is an adjunct professor of electrical engineering at Texas A&M. He was elected to membership in the National Academy of Engineering and is a Life Fellow of IEEE.

Her first book, This Was Not Our War: Bosnian Women Reclaiming the Peace, received the 2005 PEN/New England Award for nonfiction. Ambassador Hunt is founder and president of the Institute for Inclusive Security, which trains women peace builders in 30 conflict regions around the globe. As the Eleanor Roosevelt Lecturer in Public Policy at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, she teaches courses on women-led peace-building initiatives. She is chair of Hunt Alternatives Fund, which has committed more than $130 million to programs supporting social change from local to global levels.

He joined the Williams faculty in 1961, became dean of faculty in 1977 and served as president from 1985-1993, when he resumed teaching. As president, Oakley led the establishment of the tutorial form of instruction and oversaw the naming of the first women deans and doubling of both minority enrollment and endowment. A distinguished scholar, Oakley has written 13 books and received the Roland Bainton Book Prize and the 2012 Newberry Library Award. His past leadership includes serving as president of the New England Medieval Conference, the Fellows of the Medieval Academy of America and the American Council of Learned Societies.

Stevenson has been representing capital defendants and death row prisoners in the South since the mid-1980s. He is the founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), a nonprofit organization based in Montgomery, Alabama, which provides legal representation to indigent defendants and prisoners who have been denied fair treatment in the legal system. Through EJI, he has developed community-based reform litigation aimed at improving criminal justice administration. Stevenson also is a professor of clinical law at New York University School of Law.

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
