BThe Latin text quoted at left has introduced Bowdoin’s Commencement Program since August 21, 1822. The names of the 24 graduates of the Class of 1822 were, for the most part, also translated into Latin for the program. In the early years of the College, each graduating senior was required to deliver a Commencement “part,” an oration on ancient or modern topics, which was frequently given in one of the classical languages, Latin, Greek, or Hebrew. The final Latin oration was given in 1893, but the tradition of Latin survives in the language used to dedicate the Commencement Exercises and to confer the bachelor of arts degree. The translation below was provided by Barbara Weiden Boyd, Henry Winkley Professor of Latin and Greek.

May it be good, felicitous, and well-omened:*

To Paul LePage, esteemed Governor;

to the Representatives and Senators

who personally preside over the arts and letters for the State of Maine;

and to the honorable and respected Trustees of Bowdoin College;

to Barry Mills, distinguished President;

to the entire academic senate; to the venerable religious leaders;

in short, to all patrons of the human race everywhere,

the young people hereby initiated into the arts and letters

most humbly dedicate these exercises.

Held in a gathering of Bowdoin College, in Brunswick, in the State of Maine,

on the fifth day before the Kalends of June, in the 2011th year of our well-being

and in the 235th year of the authority of the United States of America.

* An ancient Roman formula used at the outset of a ritual to ensure its success.

This ancient formula is used by the President in conferring degrees:

Candidati pro gradu baccalaureali, assurgite.

Vir honorande, hosce iuvenes, quos censeo idoneos primum ad gradum in artibus, nunc tibi offero, ut a te instructus, eos ad gradum istum admittam. Placetne? (Placet.)

Pro auctoritate mihi commissa, admitto vos ad primum gradum in artibus, et dono et concedo omnia iura, privilegia, honores atque dignitates, ad gradum istum pertinentia.

In cuius testimonium hasce membranas litteris scriptas accipite.

Candidates for the Baccalaureate degrees will rise.

(To the Chair of the Board of Trustees) Honored sir, these young people whom I deem worthy of the first degree in Arts, I now present to you, that, if you so direct, I may admit them to that degree. Is such your will? (It is.)

(To the Candidates) By virtue of the authority vested in me, I now admit you to the first degree in Arts and do grant and confer upon you all the rights, privileges, honors, and dignities pertaining to that degree.

In witness whereof, receive these diplomas.

NOTE: The Baccalaureate degrees are awarded individually, and the graduating class requests that there be no applause until the last degree is conferred.

At the Commencement Exercises, Bowdoin displays the College flag and the flags of the United States of America, the State of Maine, and the home or dual-citizenship countries or territories of graduating students—in 2011, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Ecuador, France, Germany, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, India, Ireland, Japan, Nigeria, People’s Republic of China, Peru, Portugal, Republic of Bulgaria, Republic of Korea, Republic of South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, The Netherlands, United Kingdom.

HONORANDS OF THE 2011 COMMENCEMENT

16

John E. Baldacci, Doctor of Laws (LL.D.)

John E. Baldacci completed his second four-year term as the 73rd governor of the state of Maine in January 2011. A native of Bangor, he worked in his family’s restaurant while earning a bachelor of arts degree in history at the University of Maine–Orono in 1986. At the age of 23 he was elected to the Bangor City Council. Four years later he was elected to the Maine State Senate, where he served for twelve years. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1994 and was re-elected to Congress by wide margins in 1996, 1998, and 2000. He served on the Agriculture, Small Business, and Transportation Committees of the House of Representatives. He returned to Maine and won the 2002 gubernatorial election. As governor, Baldacci is perhaps best known for Dirigo Health (a comprehensive reform of the state’s health care system), the incorporation of technical colleges in Maine into the Community College System, the Pine Tree Zone program to encourage business growth in targeted areas of Maine, and his proposal to reduce administrative costs by consolidating school districts into regional school units. Through challenging economic times, Governor Baldacci sought to increase efficiencies in the delivery of health care and the administration of public education and local governments, limit tax burdens on Maine citizens, attract new businesses, and develop renewable energy sources.

Béla FlEck, Doctor of Music (Mus.D.)

The music of banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck transcends traditional categories and the boundaries of international musical styles. A native of New York City, Fleck began playing the banjo at the age of 15. After attending New York City’s High School of Music and Art, he began to play with the group Tasty Licks, and released a solo album of progressive bluegrass music in 1979. Fleck played with a number of individual artists and bands (including Spectrum and New Grass Revival), before forming Béla Fleck and the Flecktones in 1988. Each professional collaboration has broadened his remarkable musical range. Over the course of his thirty-year career he has won fourteen Grammy Awards and received thirty nominations. He has been nominated for Grammys in more categories than any other artist in history—including the pop, country, bluegrass, classical, contemporary jazz, world music, spoken-word, composition, and arranging categories. Throw Down Your Heart is both an album and an award-winning documentary film that explores the African origins of the banjo with musicians in Uganda, the Gambia, Mali, and Tanzania. The third of Fleck’s “Tales from the Acoustic Planet” series, Throw Down Your Heart won 2010 Grammy Awards for Best World Music Album and Best Pop Instrumental Performance. He and guest musicians from Africa performed highlights from this project to a full house at Pickard Theater in March 2010.

cynthia M. FriEnd, Doctor of Science (Sc.D.)

Cynthia M. Friend is the Theodore Williams Richards Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Materials Science at Harvard University. She earned a bachelor of science degree in chemistry at the University of California–Davis in 1977 and a doctorate in chemistry at the University of California–Berkeley in 1981. Following a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University, Friend joined the Harvard faculty in 1982. Her pioneering research focuses on controlling the chemical and physical properties of interfaces through selective catalytic synthesis and the use of hybrid

1717

metals/metal oxides (including nanostructures) for chemical and photocatalysis. Using these techniques, the Friend group researches new avenues for the production of biofuels and esters, splitting water to create storable hydrogen energy, and strategies for reducing pollution. Friend has received many awards for her work, including the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg Fellowship, the American Chemical Society’s George C. Olah Award, the Francis P. Garvan-John M. Olin Medal, and the Alexander von Humboldt Senior Research Award. The author or co-author of numerous scientific journal articles and reports, she is also the coeditor in chief of the journal Catalysis Science & Technology. She has served on advisory panels and committees for the National Science Foundation, NATO, and the U.S. Department of Energy.

hEnry a. Millon, Doctor of Humane Letters (L.H.D.)

Dean Emeritus of the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art Henry A. Millon is one of the foremost scholars on the architectural history of the Renaissance and Baroque eras. Born in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Millon entered the Navy V-12 program at Tulane University in 1943 and served on active duty in 1946. He returned to Tulane and earned bachelor’s degrees in English, physics, and architecture, then went to Harvard University, where he earned master of arts degrees in architecture and urban design and in art history, and a doctorate in art history. Following three years in Italy as a Fulbright Fellow and a fellow at the American Academy in Rome, he was appointed to a professorship at M.I.T. His writings on Michelangelo’s architectural contributions to the design of St. Peter’s Basilica marked a fundamental change in the scholarship of Renaissance art. He was chosen as the first dean of the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art, a position that he held for twenty years until his retirement in 2000. He is the author or editor of numerous books, articles, and catalogs on architectural history. Millon has served as vice-chair of the Boston Landmarks Commission, director of the American Academy in Rome, president of the Society of Architectural Historians, and president of the Foundation for Documents of Architecture.

Mira nair, Doctor of Fine Arts (D.F.A.)

Internationally acclaimed filmmaker and producer Mira Nair was born in India and studied sociology and theater at Delhi University and at Harvard University. She began her career as an actor, then turned to producing documentary film. Her first documentary, India Cabaret, won awards at the Global Village Film Festival, the Athens International Film Festival, and the American Film Festival. Her first feature film, Salaam Bombay! (1988), received more than twenty-five international awards, including the Caméra d’Or and Prix du Publique awards at the Cannes Film Festival, and an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Film. With proceeds from the film, Nair established the Salaam Baalak Trust to meet the safety, nutritional, health, social, and educational needs of street children in Mumbai. Subsequent features have included Monsoon Wedding—which became one of the highest grossing foreign films of all time and is now headed to Broadway—Mississippi Masala, Vanity Fair, The Namesake, and Amelia. Through her production company, Mirabai Films, she founded Maisha, a nonprofit training initiative in screenwriting, directing, producing, cinematography, editing, sound recording, and acting for emerging East African filmmakers.

ACADEMIC APPAREL

31

The formal academic attire that distinguishes faculty and graduates at academic ceremonies is a symbol at once vertical and horizontal. It stretches back into history, to the roots of academic institutions, while at the same time it forms a bond of union among contemporary academic scholars.

The gown, cap, and hood, which would certainly seem quaint today if worn on our city streets, were originally the ordinary apparel of our medieval ancestors. The gowns varied in elegance according to the rank and wealth of the owners, and the hood had the practical function of being pulled over the head for warmth. Many of the medieval universities had strict rules on the subject; at Oxford, for example, the master of arts had to swear that he owned the dress prescribed for his degree and that he would wear it on all proper occasions. Undergraduates were required to wear their gowns whenever they appeared in the public street. After the sixteenth century in Europe different styles prevailed, but the older style was retained for certain legal, official, clerical, and, especially, academic uses.

In America the gown has been used to some extent since colonial times. It was only in the late nineteenth century, however, that widespread interest—sparked perhaps by the observance in 1886 of the 250th anniversary of the founding of Harvard—brought about several developments. In 1887 an enterprising member of the graduating class of Williams College designed academic gowns for the graduates to wear at the Commencement ceremony. The garb was significant and dignified; it was both traditional and democratic; it answered a need, and it quickly became popular. In 1895 an intercollegiate code, standardizing

the design and the color of each part of the academic regalia, was accepted by nearly all American colleges and universities.

The gown is usually black, and the cut of the sleeves differs for bachelors, masters, and doctors. In addition, the doctor’s gown has panels of velvet (usually black) down the front and on the sleeves.

The cap is generally black, with a tassel, which is either black or the color of the field of study; a doctor’s may be gold. The most common style of cap is the Oxford “mortar board,” with a square flat top, but some variations are permitted.

The hood is the most distinctive part of the costume. It is made of black and trimmed with velvet. Both the length of the hood and the width of the trim vary with the level of the degree, the doctor’s being the longest and having the widest velvet border. The color of the velvet indicates the field of study in which the degree is earned: for example, white for arts and letters (bachelor of arts), dark blue for philosophy, brown for fine arts, golden yellow for science, scarlet for theology. The lining of the hood is the color and style of the university that confers the degree; these are all specified in the standard code of the American Council on Education. Bowdoin College’s lining is white and green to symbolize the Bowdoin pines.

Whatever the degree or university, those who don the gown and hood symbolically take their places in the long procession of scholars who have pursued truth and learning and passed it on to others. The consciousness of that fellowship is at once a reward for past efforts and an inspiration for the future.

nRAISE SONGS TO BOWDOIN

Words by K. C. M. Sills, Class of 1901New Lyrics by Anthony Antolini ’63

Music by C. T. BurnettArranged by Thornton W. Allen

Raise songs to Bowdoin, praise her fame,And sound abroad her glorious name;To Bowdoin, Bowdoin lift your song,

And may the music echo longO’er whispering pines and campus fair

With sturdy might filling the air.Bowdoin, from birth, our nurturer and friend

To thee we pledge our love again, again.

While now amid thy halls we stayAnd breathe thy spirit day by day,

Oh may we thus full worthy beTo march in that proud company

Of poets, leaders and each oneWho brings thee fame by deeds well done.

Bowdoin, from birth, our nurturer and friendTo thee we pledge our love again, again.
