4 The Official University Mace The Iowa State University mace symbolizes the authority of the university president. The lead faculty marshal carries it at the head of the academic procession and, by placing it on its stand, signals the beginning of the commencement ceremony. In medieval times, the mace was a studded, clublike weapon, made of iron. It was capable of breaking armor, and was associated with the protection of kings in France and England. In the 13th century, it was used for civil purposes and processions. Eventually it became a symbol for academic institutions, an emblem of order and authority in the pageantry. Created in bronze, silver and tiger maple, the Iowa State University mace incorporates important campus icons such as the campanile located on central campus and the Fountain of Four Seasons, located on the north side of the Memorial Union and features likenesses of four Native American women. The sculptures were created in 1941 by Christian Petersen, sculptor-inresidence from The mace s bronze headpiece is an interpretation of the campanile. It includes a silver presidential seal and reflects in a disc representative of the Fountain of the Four Seasons. The words Iowa State University Science With Practice are inscribed on the edge of the disc. Under the disc is a shortened version or reflection of the campanile headpiece. The tiger maple staff bears 14 bronze plaques inscribed with the names of all previous Iowa State presidents, their years of service, and a laurel leaf symbolizing the attainment of graduation. At the staff s base is an unfolding bronze leaf symbolizing the beginning of a new era for graduating students. The overall height of the University mace is 60 inches, and it weighs 14 pounds. Sculptor Jeanne L. Stevens-Sollman of Bellefonte, Pennsylvania designed and crafted the Iowa State University mace. Private funds from the ISU Alumni Association s Circle of Former Presidents, Chairs, and Executive Directors, the Stanton Carillon Foundation, and the University Museums made the design and purchase of the Iowa State University mace possible. The Presidential Chain of Office The presidential chain of office symbolizes the rich history and traditions of Iowa State University and is worn by the president at all commencement ceremonies. It was first worn by President Gregory Geoffroy during the Spring 2008 commencement ceremonies to mark the end of Iowa State University s year-long sesquicentennial celebration. Created by sculptor Jeanne Stevens-Sollman the same artist who created Iowa State s mace the presidential chain of office complements the mace. The two pieces were commissioned by University Museums and the ISU Alumni Association and are part of University Museums Art on Campus collection. The front of the presidential chain of office features an image of the campanile, and Beardshear Hall s east portico (the campus home of the president) is on the back. The shoulder epaulets are the columns of Beardshear and contain the words Leadership and Service. The campanile links in the presidential chain of office contain the words Engagement, Learning, Discovery and Access. The reverse sides of the bronze sections have low bas reliefs of corn. Most pieces in the necklace are bronze. The seal in the center of the campanile and the links in the necklace are sterling silver. Both the presidential chain of office and the mace are housed in the alumni center and are used at each commencement ceremony. 3

5 Academic Regalia In May 2008, as part of its sesquicentennial celebration, Iowa State University debuted custom-designed doctorate regalia. The special commencement doctorate gowns were created with emblems and colors to reflect Iowa State s tradition and to complement Iowa State s hood. The fabric is cardinal red gabardine with black velvet panels and chevrons edged with gold cording. The Campanile, a beloved symbol and University tradition, adorns each of the two front velvet panels. An eightsided black velvet tam with a gold silk tassel completes the official regalia. The ceremony as well as the academic costume at commencement symbolize the record of academic achievement of the various individuals taking part in commencement exercises. The use of academic costume reaches back to medieval times and the beginnings of the famed old universities of Europe and England. Gowns (long, full robes) and cloaks with hoods were common garb. The unheated buildings frequented by medieval scholars certainly were an important factor in the choice of clothing. A confusing array of caps, gowns, and hoods emerged from the centuries in Great Britain and from early years of higher education in the United States. American institutions recognized the need for a standard code and the great majority of academic costumes now worn in the United States are in accordance with the general provisions of the Intercollegiate Code of This code was slightly revised in 1932 and again in Under this code, the bachelor s gown has pointed sleeves; the master s gown has oblong sleeves with an arc at the bottom; and the doctor s gown has bell-shaped sleeves. The Code dictates that bachelor s and master s gowns are untrimmed. However, the doctor s gown is faced down the front with velvet and has three bars of velvet across the sleeves. The facing and bars may be black or may be a color pertaining to the discipline. The color of the commencement gown varies in other countries. In America, black is typically the color of choice for bachelor s and master s degrees. The square shape of the scholar s cap or mortarboard is thought to denote the stability of scholars and their books as suggested in the old poem, The Ballad of the Cap, first published in Candidates for advanced degrees wear black tassels. The following is a list of tassel colors for baccalaureate degree candidates: Agriculture and Life Sciences Maize Business Drab Design Brown Engineering Orange Human Sciences Maroon Liberal Arts and Sciences Bachelor of Arts White Bachelor of Liberal Studies White Bachelor of Music Pink Bachelor of Science Golden Yellow Veterinary Medicine Gray The hood gives color to the academic costume while its length indicates the wearer s academic degree. At Iowa State, hoods are worn by doctorate degree recipients. Exceptions are made for honorary degree recipients and other officials of the ceremony. In general, hoods are made of a wide panel of black cloth, matching the gown and are lined with satin in the official academic colors of the institution awarding the degree. Iowa State University s colors are cardinal and gold, therefore the top half of the lining is gold and the lower part is cardinal. The colors used in the edging of hoods and tassels are associated with the discipline. For example, dark blue represents Philosophy and all hoods used in conferring the Doctor of Philosophy degree at Iowa State University are of dark blue edging. 4

6 Hooding Ceremony, Doctor of Philosophy The Doctor of Philosophy is the university s highest academic degree, awarded only to those who have successfully completed an intensive and demanding course of study whose primary focus is on learning to conduct original research. The final stage of the program is the preparation and defense of a dissertation that describes the outcome of a major research project. To prepare for that project, the student must have gained expertise and skills in a particular discipline and must have thoroughly explored its existing knowledge base. Those who receive doctorates have demonstrated that they are truly experts in their fields whose research has already contributed significantly to human knowledge. The hooding ceremony symbolizes their admission to the exclusive ranks of those who have earned the respect associated with the title Doctor of Philosophy. During the hooding ceremony, the degree recipients are escorted and hooded by their major professors who have worked with them throughout their study for the doctoral degree. The hoods will connect the graduate with a family of scholars throughout history and from all parts of the world. Special Recognition, Advanced Degrees Candidates for graduation for the Master's or Ph.D. may be recognized with the Teaching Excellence Award or the Research Excellence Award. The Teaching Excellence Award recognizes those who provided outstanding contributions in teaching undergraduate students while working toward a graduate degree. The Research Excellence Award recognizes those who with outstanding research accomplishments in a graduate program. Honorees for both awards wear cardinal and gold honor cords and are noted in this program as follows: Research Excellence Award Teaching Excellence Award Special Recognition, Undergraduate Degrees Candidates for undergraduate degrees may be recognized for graduating With Distinction or for graduating in the Honors Program. Levels of special academic achievement are indicated in the commencement program by Latin phrases, also known as Latin honors. This system is recognized internationally, however the requirements vary among institutions. In the United States, Latin honors are most often awarded to those earning undergraduate degrees and each academic institution sets its own standards and requirements for each honor. At Iowa State University, candidates for graduation with distinction must have completed 60 semester credits of coursework at ISU at the time they graduate, including a minimum of 50 graded credits. Those graduating summa cum laude (with highest distinction) have earned a grade-point average of 3.90 or higher; magna cum laude (with great distinction) have a grade-point average of 3.70 to 3.89; or cum laude (with distinction) have a gradepoint average 3.50 to Grade-point averages are based on a 4.0 scale. In addition to the notation in the commencement program, this recognition appears on the official transcript and diploma. The University Honors Program is an individually planned program of study designed to provide greater depth and breadth of scholarship than the regular curriculum. Those graduating from the University Honors Program have a grade point average of at least 3.35 and have designed and completed an individualized program of study, including an independent Honors Research Project. Students graduating with special recognition will wear cords and be noted in this program as follows: * * * Summa Cum Laude - with highest distinction (cardinal and gold cords) * * Magna Cum Laude - with great distinction (gold cords) * Cum Laude - with distinction (cardinal cords) Honors Program (white cords) 5

7 Academic Titles The following provides a brief description for the academic titles that appear in this program followed by a list of symbols for each title. Where appropriate, a symbol will be displayed behind the person s name. Distinguished Professor denotes those faculty members who have been recognized for having attained outstanding national and international reputations within their professional disciplines. University Professor denotes those faculty members who have been recognized for having made outstanding contributions to the quality of education at Iowa State University. An endowed chair or professorship provides special recognition to the faculty member to whom the title is awarded. It is held for a specific term, and during that time, endowment earnings are used by the university to supplement departmental support of the faculty member s scholarship and responsibilities in teaching, research, outreach, and service. These chairholders specialize in areas of study identified by the donors who created the endowments. Distinguished Professor University Professor Endowed Chair Endowed Professorship Iowa State University Traditions Information Provided by the Iowa State University Alumni Association The first swans on Lake LaVerne, Lancelot and Elaine, were a gift from the 1935 VEISHEA Central Committee. From that day on, there has been a pair of swans on Lake LaVerne. When Iowa State s young football team beat mighty Northwestern University 36 to 0 in 1895, and article in the Chicago Tribune said, Northwestern might as well have tried to play football with an Iowa cyclone as with the Iowa team it met yesterday. Thus, the Cyclones were born. Cy the Cardinal became Iowa State s mascot in VEISHEA, an all-university spring open house first organized in 1922, is among the nation s largest university student-managed festivals. The festival got its name from the first letters of Iowa State s first colleges: Veterinary Medicine, Engineering, Industrial Science, Home Economics, and Agriculture. Two of VEISHEA s long-standing traditions are individual cherry pies and the musical production Stars Over VEISHEA. In 2003, Iowa State revived a 60-year-old tradition: the Official ISU Ring. Students and alumni worked with the ISU Alumni Association and University Book Store to design a ring that symbolically captures the uniqueness of Iowa State. Rings may only be worn by alumni or by students who have achieved junior or senior status. Rings are officially presented at an annual ring ceremony. It is said if you step on the bronze zodiac relief on the floor of the Memorial Union s Gold Star Hall, you will flunk your next test. Fortunately the bad luck can be averted by throwing a coin into the Fountain of Four Seasons. The tradition of campaniling states that a student officially becomes an Iowa Stater when he or she is kissed under the university s campanile at the stroke of midnight. 6

8 Undergraduate Commencement Vocalist and F. Wendell Miller Distinquished Artist in Residence Simon Estes Simon Estes, internationally-acclaimed bass baritone, is the star of the stage at the world's major opera houses, a regular guest at international festivals, and has appeared with leading international orchestras under eminent conductors. His performance of Simon Boccanegra under the direction of Placido Domingo for the Washington Opera Company at the Kennedy Center was his 100th role. Performances include the Concert for Racial Harmony in Washington, D.C., the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, and the Los Angeles Opera. He was chosen to perform the "I Have a Dream" composition commissioned by the King family for the Martin Luther King Jr. celebrations in Rising from humble beginnings in the small town of Centerville, Iowa, he is the grandson of a slave sold at auction for $500 and the son of a father who faithfully provided for his family with menial jobs from coal-mining to serving as a hotel porter. With family values founded upon a godly heritage, character-building struggle and sacrifice, Simon Estes successfully faced each new hurdle and career challenge, culminating in triumph for this extraordinarily gifted performing artist. Choosing to rise above mere celebrity status, Estes strives to be a positive role model for the next generation. His compassionate humanitarian efforts elevate him to hero status for the numerous youth who benefit from his vision for merit-based education and opportunity. He has been granted numerous honorary degrees including the Doctor of Humane Letters from Iowa State University in Simon Estes makes it possible for young people around the world to pursue their dreams. He has helped talented students attend the Juilliard School of Music in New York City where he has been a professor since In Oklahoma, he has established the Simon Estes Educational Foundation which has awarded over one million dollars in merit-based college scholarships. The Simon Estes International Foundation for Children in Switzerland was established in 1993 and has saved lives by providing support for child health needs in Switzerland and Bulgaria. During the school year, 40 musically gifted students from the Simon Estes School, serving some of the poorest children in South Africa, attended -area high schools under the sponsorship of Rotary District 6000 and performed throughout Iowa as the Simon Estes South African Youth Chorus. When asked if he thought we were victims of fate or makers of our own destiny, he answered quickly "Makers of our own destiny." 7

52 Commencement Speaker Clayton C. Anderson Clayton Anderson is an astronaut with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). He is the first Iowa State University graduate to travel in space. Anderson was born in Omaha, Neb., and grew up on Ashland, Neb. He received the B.S. degree (Cum Laude) in physics from Hastings College, Neb., in 1981 and M.S. in aerospace engineering from Iowa State University in He joined the Johnson Space Center in 1983 in the Mission Planning NASA photo and Analysis Division where he performed rendezvous and proximity operations trajectory designs for early Space Shuttle and Space Station missions. Before being selected as a mission specialist in 1998, he served as a flight design manager leading the trajectory design team for the Galileo planetary mission while serving as the backup for the Magellan planetary mission, supervisor and branch chief with the Flight Design and Dynamics Division, and manager of the Emergency Operations Center. Following mission specialist training and prior to being assigned to a space flight, Anderson served in several mission support capacities, including: lead for the Enhanced Caution and Warning System development effort within the Space Shuttle Cockpit Avionics Upgrade Project, crew support astronaut for International Space Station (ISS) Expedition 4, and ISS Capsule Communicator (CAPCOM). In 2007, Anderson spent a five month tour of duty working aboard the International Space Station. He launched to the Station on June 8, aboard Shuttle Atlantis with the crew of STS-117, and upon docking, he assumed the positions of Expedition 15 Flight Engineer and Science Officer for the expedition. During his 152-day tour of duty aboard the ISS, Anderson performed 3 spacewalks totaling just over 18 hours, and performed several tasks. Anderson returned home aboard Shuttle Discovery as a member of the STS-120 crew, landing at the Kennedy Space Center on Nov. 7, He is assigned to the crew of STS-131, targeted for launch in February Among Anderson s many awards and recognitions are the NASA Quality and Safety Achievement Recognition Award, an Honorary Doctorate Degree from Hastings College, and the distinguished Alumni Award from Iowa State University. He was also VEISHEA Parade Grand Marshal in He is married to the former Susan Jane Harreld of Elkhart, Ind., and they have two children, Clayton Cole and Sutton Marie. Recreational interests include: officiating college and high school basketball, participation in all sports, coaching youth sports, flying, reading, writing music, playing the piano and organ and vocal performance. As an undergraduate at Hastings College, he competed on the football, basketball and track teams. 51

53 Honorary Degree Recipient, Doctor of Science J. Dwayne McAninch Dwayne McAninch was born and raised on a farm J near Norwalk, Iowa. In the spring of 1954, while still in high school, he began his own earthmoving business at age 17 by purchasing a used crawler tractor from his father to dig farm ponds. By the end of the summer, he had graduated from Norwalk High School, paid off the tractor and started taking on earth-moving and pond construction jobs in the area. That was the beginning of a pioneering career in the industry. Using knowledge he gained working with global positioning system (GPS) technology from practical experience in field applications, he provided extensive insight into adapting GPS technology for Caterpillar equipment. His work also led to the development of new construction methods using GPS, geotechnical engineering and computer-aided systems technologies that are now standard in the industry and that have reduced site preparation time and cost by nearly a third. He continues to push the engineering envelope, working to infuse a totally digital design and construction environment requiring little or no paper-drawn plans. For these and other achievements, he was named Engineer of the Year in 2005 by Engineering News-Record, the leading journal in the construction field. In 1967, he established the McAninch Corporation, and he has built the company into one of the most advanced and successful earth-moving and underground utility contracting companies in the nation, following a philosophy of continuous improvement combined with an ongoing search for new technologies and more effective methods of equipment utilization. With his many years of experience using CAT equipment, Mr. McAninch has developed a strong relationship with Caterpillar, Inc., and from that experience has offered many suggestions for product revisions and development. He served in an advisory capacity for the board of Caterpillar/Trimble Control Technologies, LLC, until Mr. McAninch is a strong supporter of the Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering programs at Iowa State University with his time and resources. He played a lead role in helping the department establish the nation s first hybrid geoconstruction engineering initiative, and provided a leadership gift to enable the department to acquire a one-of-a-kind mobile soils testing laboratory. As a civic-minded citizen of the greater Des Moines community, Mr. McAninch also supports new growth and development in the area. He has received numerous awards for his active role in fund raising for both community affairs and political leaders. Mr. McAninch and his wife Glennis were married in 1960, and they have two children. 52

54 Honorary Degree Recipient, Doctor of Science Chan Koo Park Chan Koo Park is chairman and CEO of chemical operations for Kumho Asiana Group, which consists of 25 individual companies and is one of the largest corporations based in the Republic of Korea. He has been a leader and innovator in the petrochemical industry for more than three decades. After graduating from Iowa State with a bachelor of science degree in statistics, Mr. Park joined Kumho Industries in the late 1970s. He has served in top leadership positions with several of Kumho Asiana s companies, and in 2006 became chairman and CEO of chemical operations. Mr. Park s scientific and administrative leadership have played a major role in Kumho s development into a world leader in the petrochemical industry. Mr. Park introduced MDI (methylene diphenol diisocyanate) into Korean manufacturing in 1989, which led to Kumho being the first petrochemical company to patent advanced all-water-blown polyurethane technology for manufacturing. He also led Kumho s development of a new ultra high cis polybutadiene that has revolutionized the manufacture of high-impact polystyrene, which is the principal component of tires, footwear, conveyors, sporting equipment and several other products. One of Kumho s international partners in this work is Taylor Made. As president of Kumho s Vision Management Division in the 1990s, Mr. Park guided the company s strategic decision to aggressively expand its synthetic rubber production, which accurately predicted a rapid rise in world demand for automobiles and tires, and which resulted in Kumho Petrochemical becoming the world s second-largest producer of synthetic rubber and Kumho Tire becoming the world s ninth-largest tire producer. Today, Kumho Petrochemical continues its leadership in synthetic rubber, and is the world s largest producer of a promising new nano-chemical rubber antioxidant. He also led the establishment of the Asiana Airline, Kumho Express and Kumho Telecomm divisions, and market expansions in China and Vietnam. Mr. Park also has been a strong advocate and corporate leader in ensuring that Kumho s technological advancements and product development are as environmentally friendly as possible. Among the efforts he has led are: development of a new rubber product that increases safety and fuel efficiency in automotive tires; commercialization of environmentally-friendly oil for rubber production; recycling of thermoplastic rubber products; and the development of a higher efficiency bituminous coal boiler. Mr. Park has received numerous awards, including the Gold Tower Industry Honor, Korea s highest corporate CEO award, Korea s Environment-Friendly Award, and several awards from the Office of the Korean President for contributions to the national economy, industry safety standards, labor relations, the environment and social responsibility. Mr. Park is married to Jin Young Wi, and they have two grown children, Jun Kyung Park and Joo Hyung Park. 53

93 Iowa State University Senior Class Council The mission of the Senior Class Council (SCC), a committee of the Student Alumni Leadership Council (SALC), is to benefit and unite seniors through events and services while promoting an understanding of the Iowa State University Alumni Association. The 2009 Senior Class Council is comprised of 10 students who are dedicated to recognizing seniors for their many achievements. This year s Senior Class Council has planned a number of programs for seniors including both Fall and Spring Senior Weeks, where seniors enjoyed special tours and free food on campus; the Senior Package, a gift set that included a senior shirt and a commemorative Iowa State glass; and the Senior Sendoff, a brand new event for seniors at the new Alumni Center to celebrate seniors transitions to being alumni! The events that SCC plans and co-sponsors are intended to be both beneficial and enjoyable for seniors. Each year, the graduating class selects a gift to donate to the University.

99 The Bells of Iowa State The History of The Bells of Iowa State James C. Wilson ( ) was a member of Iowa State s English faculty from 1928 to He had to resign due to his lack of a Ph.D., and prior to his departure, he submitted a college song candidate for a song contest sponsored by the Iowa State Club of Chicago. Iowa State University Library Special Collections Department Jim and his wife, Alice, moved to Chicago where as he notes, We (in addition to their two babies) had $212 in cash from my last paycheck, our five-year-old Chevrolet, and the tent. He won first place with The Bells of Iowa State, and the family was able to purchase a small cottage on Lake Michigan. When I wrote The Bells of Iowa State, I thought then that it had much more depth and emotion than your basic football fight song, Wilson said. Its continuing popularity leaves me very pleased, not so much because it s my own song, but because it has had such a good effect on those who have been touched by it. (The Iowa Stater, June 1983)
