PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - COMMENCEMENT 1993

The 90th Commencement Ceremony of Whittier College marks a singular moment of transition for its distinguished graduates—a moment of nostalgia, a watershed between the past and the future, a point beyond which the world will assume a different perspective.

As the Class of 1993 leaves its undergraduate days behind, time will make clearer how the

Whittier experience has helped shape the mental universe of each of you. The strong community values Whittier has instilled, the provocative learning opportunities, and the extraordinary devo- tion and support of the faculty have all played a lasting part. As much as you may value Whittier today, I predict that the significance of your memories and the substance of your education will matter even more in the years ahead.

I am confident that the things you take away with you today—a sound education, warm and lasting friendships, high ideals—will make a profound and positive impression on your future. I hope that, years from now, the memories of your educational experience here will confirm the intelligence, the rightness, of your choice to become a part of this magnificent institution.

I congratulate you for your accomplishments here and for all of those that you will achieve on the journey ahead. I am proud to be able to extend to you—new Whittier College alumni—the college's best wishes for your continued success.

Sincerely, ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

The undergraduates receiving degrees this day have followed one of two paths to their Whittier

degree: the Liberal Education Program or the Whittier Scholars Program. The Liberal Education

Program provides students with a well-balanced curriculum which stresses the interrelatedness of

the various liberal arts disciplines. The Whittier Scholars Program allows the self-directed student

to design his or her own course of study under the guidance of an eductional design review committee. All students are required to complete a minimum of thirty units in their major field, although specific course requirements vary by department.

Whittier College offers the masters degree in education. The degree is awarded following

required courses of study in the discipline.

Whittier College School of Law confers the degree ofJuris Doctor (J. D.) on those students who have completed the rigorous course of study required by the Law School. BACCALAUREATE

*PROCESSIONAL HYMN

Il1)/fl to J( Joy, thou source of light immortal, Daughter of Elysium, Touched with fire, to the portal Of thy radiant shrine we come. Thy pure magic frees all others Held in Custom's rigid rings; Men throughout the world ore brothers In the haven of thy wings.

Mortals, join the happy chorus Which the morning stars began; Joyful love is reigning o'er us, Binding us as one again. Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife; Joyful music leads us sunward In the triumph song of life.

ADAM KAPLAN, GRADUATING SENIOR Psalm 96 o sing to the Lord a new song: Sing to the Lord, oil the earth! Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the people are idols; but the Lord made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary Ascribe to the Lord, 0 families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength! Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts! Worship the Lard in holy array; tremble before him, all the earth! Say among the nations, "The Lard reigns! Yea, the world is established, it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity." Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; Let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy before the Lord, For he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with his truth.

The history of academic costume and ceremony dotes from the 12th century Europe to the medieval universities of Paris, Bologna, Oxford, and Cambridge. Originally, the univer- sity was on association of "Masters of Arts" and the degree was the step token to become a full member The new Master was admitted to begin teaching; the word "Commence- ment" described that rite of passage. The most common articles of doily attire then were long [lowing gowns and cloaks, with hood attached forheadwear; subsequently, hats became prominent. In England, details of scholars' apparel and occasions for use were strictly prescribed by university statutes. The origin of the Oxford "mortarboard" cap is a mystery. It may well have evolved from forcing the rather square-shaped, outdoor biretta over the close-fitting, indoor skull cap commonly worn by university scholars in medieval times. American academic regalia is an inheritance primarily from Britain. The 1895 Inter- collegiate Code provides our fundamental regulation. Gowns for all three degree levels are basic black and similar in shape, though sleeve patterns differ: Doctoral gowns are faced with velvet, with three bars per sleeve. The black mortarboard cap is common to all degrees. The hood is the most distinctive feature of academic dress. Our system enables distinc- tion of degree level, college or university, and discipline, though proliferation of fields and institutions does not always allow easy identification. All basic black, hoods become somewhat longer and wider with higher degrees. All are lined inside with silk in the aca- demic colors of the institution which conferred that degree. The field is indicated by the outer velvet trim on the hood, which becomes broader with the higher degrees. The white border for Arts and Letters emanates from the fur trim of the Oxford and Cambridge Bachelor of Arts. Red is the traditional color of the Church; hence scarlet for Theology The royal purple of King's Court signifies the Law. Green, the color of medicinal herbs, stands for Medicine. Golden yellow indicates Science, for through research untold wealth has been given to the world. The Oxford pink has been adhered to for Music. The russet brown for Forestry is a tribute to the old-time dress of English foresters. Blue, the color of wisdom and truth, represents Philosophy and now adorns most who possess the Doctor of Philosophy regardless of discipline.

I ' •3• ç P : - A HISTORY OF WHITTIER COLLEG

In 1887, Quaker settlers migrated to Southern California and named their small settlement Whittier in honor of the celebrated abolitionist poet, John Greenleaf.

Whittier. These pioneers were determined to begin an era of enlightenment in the small town. They believed the establishment of an institution of higher educatid would further this goal. Friends College, as the institution was to be called, never came into being. Two academies for elementary and high school students—both called Whittier Academy—were opened in 1891 and developed into the Whittier

College we have today. Whittier graduated its first class in 1904. There were women and one man in this inaugural class of four students.

Enrollment and building plans picked up immediately. The 'College Building completed before the turn of the century, would be renamed Founders Hall and remained a landmark on the Whittier campus until a fire destroyed it in 1968. T commons area just south of the hall became Whittier's first football field, and "Tb

Rock" was hauled to campus in the hack of a student's horse-drawn wagon in 1910.

While the college eventually severed its formal ties with the Society of Friend the, Whittier Quaker heritage is still a strong influence today, both on the 115 student main campus and on the Hancock Park campus of the Whittier Law School.

The Whittier Law School was purchased by the college in 1976; the Hanco

Park campus, known as the Ross McCollum Law Center, was dedicated in 1979. It a member of the Association of American Law,

American Bar Association.

Whittier College continues to be characterized by a friendly atmós for the individual and close faculty-student interaction—all consistent with the Quak concern for individual education in a community setting.
