T he first Dickinson College Commencement exercises were held
in the Presbyterian church on the town square, and the occasion
was something of a public holiday. Professors and students marched
in procession, first from the college buildings in Liberty Alley and
then from our present campus. Each graduate gave proof of his
learning by delivering an address in Latin or English, a practice that
continued through most of the 19th century. In later years, music
was introduced as a restorative between orations, and as the number
of graduates increased, the final oratory was reduced to one guest
speaker, rewarded with an honorary doctorate.
The details of the Commencement procession at Dickinson have
varied, but the order has been preserved. Throughout much of the
latter half of the 19th century, Trustee William Ryland Woodward,
class of 1838, led the processions, followed by the head janitor, who
wore a tall silk hat and carried the diplomas on a silver tray. In 1897
board member Horatio Collins King, class of 1858, was named the
first marshal of the college. He led almost all of the processions
during the next two decades, holding up a small wooden baton as an
ensign of his authority. In the years since, 10 members of the faculty
have carried the same baton while officiating as marshal.
In 1950, a more imposing symbol, the college mace, was fashioned
by Mary O. Abbott. Carved in cherry and black walnut and sur-
mounted by a bronze mermaid, the mace bears the seal of the college
and bas-relief portraits of John Dickinson, Benjamin Rush and
Charles Nisbet. Two rings and the finial on the shaft were carved
from the stump of the walnut tree that grew where Denny Hall
now stands and beneath which, according to tradition, George
Washington stood as his army passed in review in 1794. Introduction
of the mace into college ceremonies led to the selection of other
professors to serve as mace bearer.
The order of procession is now the marshal, the mace bearer,
faculty, administrators, the graduating class and the presidential
party, which includes trustees and special guests.
The gowns worn by participants hearken back to the monastic
robes of the Middle Ages. The hood—worn by clergy and students
for warmth in drafty halls—was retained in specialized cases, such
as academic distinction. In the United States, an intercollegiate
commission in 1893 adopted a uniform code requiring bachelors’
and masters’ gowns to be made of cotton poplin or similar material,
while silk or rayon is used for doctoral robes. Bachelors’ gowns have
pointed, open sleeves hanging to the knee, and masters’ gowns have
closed sleeves, with the arm brought through a slit at the elbow.
Doctors’ gowns have velvet facings down the front and full, bell-
shaped sleeves, each trimmed with three bars of velvet. The black
mortarboard cap is standard in the United States; doctors may wear
a gold tassel, but all others wear black.
The hood is lined with silk in the official colors of the institution
that granted the highest degree held by the wearer, while the color of
the velvet border indicates the field of study within which the degree
was awarded. Some of the latter designations are as follows: white,
arts and letters; scarlet, divinity; purple, laws; golden yellow, science;
dark blue, philosophy; light blue, education; brown, fine arts; pink,
music; green, medicine; orange, engineering. With the duplication of
college colors, some universities have authorized the use of an entire
robe of a distinctive color, and others place an insignia on each side
of the front.
Clerical gowns were worn by the earliest faculty but disappeared
early in the 19th century. Curiously, students at Dickinson adopted
the academic robes at Commencement before faculty, who did not
appear in gown and hood until the procession of 1904. Previous
generations of graduating seniors were distinguished only by their
affiliation with one of the literary societies—the red rose of Belles
Lettres or the white rose of Union Philosophical. During today’s
ceremony, graduating seniors who studied abroad during their
Dickinson careers wear the flags of their host countries on their
academic gowns.
In the college’s early days, a Latin ritual was included in the
Commencement ceremony, beginning with an inquiry by the
president to the trustees: “Placetne vobis, viri admodum generosi, ut
juvenes, qui cursum suum in hoece collegio nuper peregerunt, ad
baccalaureatus in artibus gradum nunc admittantur?” To this one
trustee solemnly answered for all: “Placet.” The president completed
the ceremony with words similar to those used now in English. The
early diplomas also were in Latin and bore the signatures not only
of the president but of every professor under whom the candidate
had studied.
The first Dickinson honorary degree was an M.A. awarded to
Nathaniel Randolph Snowden in 1790. Through most of the 19th
century, masters’ diplomas were awarded to all alumni who, three
years after graduation, had given some evidence of being established
in life—a sort of confirmation of the first award. (Once a generally
accepted practice in American colleges, this no longer prevails.) The
earliest honorary doctorates, awarded in 1792, were in divinity.
Distinguished alumni have been so honored from an early date,
including Roger Brooke Taney, LL.D., 1831; James Buchanan, LL.D.,
1842; Spencer Fullerton Baird, D.P.S., 1856; Moncure Daniel Conway,
L.H.D., 1892; and Zatae Longsdorff Straw, Sc.D., 1937.

David Satcher
Elaine Livas ’83, the founder and
executive director of Project
SHARE (Survival, Help and
Recipient Education), receives
the Doctor of Public Service
honorary degree.
Livas has dedicated her life’s
work to improving her
community and the lives of
thousands of low-income
families in the Carlisle region.
A native of New England, Livas
enrolled at Dickinson in 1979
and graduated cum laude with a degree in anthropology in 1983.
Inspired by the plight of people she met in Carlisle who were
struggling to feed themselves and their families, she founded
Project SHARE in 1985 to provide food to those in need.
Under her leadership, more than 65 organizations throughout
the region are working together, providing food and nutrition
classes to their neighbors—both adults and children—living
below the poverty level. More than 35 local farmers donate fresh
produce, gleaned by Project SHARE volunteers and recipients, so
that those in need have greater access to fresh fruits and
vegetables.
Livas has received numerous awards for her efforts, including
the Carlisle Area League of Voters Community Service Award, the
Jefferson Award for Outstanding Public Service and the Alexis de
Tocqueville Humanitarian Award from the United Way of Carlisle
& Cumberland County. In 2007, she was named one of the 25
Most Influential Dickinsonians by Dickinson Magazine.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom
Wolf receives the Doctor of
Public Service honorary degree
and is delivering Dickinson’s
2016 Commencement address.
Wolf was sworn in as
Pennsylvania’s 47th governor in
2015 after a successful 30-year
career leading his family’s York,
Pa.-based business, the Wolf
Organization, a distributor of
lumber and other building
products. He started with the
family business as a forklift operator. Years later, he and two
cousins purchased the business and, as CEO, Wolf turned it into
America’s largest supplier of kitchen cabinets and a leading
provider of specialty building products.
After selling the business in 2006, Wolf was tapped by Gov. Ed
Rendell to serve as secretary of revenue. During his tenure, Wolf
instituted reforms that protected and strengthened the state
lottery. He also donated his salary to charity. In early 2009, Wolf
suspended a gubernatorial bid to buy back the Wolf Organization,
which was on the brink of bankruptcy, and transformed the
business to save jobs and return it to profitability.
Wolf has served on and led the boards of numerous
organizations dedicated to education, health, welfare, economic
development, culture and the arts. He is a graduate of Dartmouth
College and earned a master’s degree from the University of
London and a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. Wolf joined the Peace Corps after his freshman year
at Dartmouth and volunteered on agricultural and irrigation
projects in India for two years.

This year Dickinson College awards the fifth-annual Sam
Rose ’58 and Julie Walters Prize at Dickinson College for Global
Environmental Activism. The $100,000 prize, given to an
individual or group dedicated to preserving the planet and its
resources, incorporates a short-term residency for student and
community interaction during the upcoming academic year.
The prize honors John Adams, who co-founded the Natural
Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in 1970, serving as the
NRDC’s executive director, and later president, from its inception
until 2006, a tenure unparalleled by the leader of any other
environmental organization. Today, the NRDC stands as a force for
nature, with more than a million members, online activists and a
staff of 400 using law, science and grassroots activism to carry out
its important mission. Adams continues to play an active role in
the organization on the local, national and international levels.
In 2010 Adams and his wife, Patricia, recounted the history of
the NRDC and the environmental movement in their aptly named
memoir, A Force for Nature. President Barack Obama awarded
Adams the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest
civilian honor, in 2011 for his lifetime of public-service
achievements.
Sam Rose ’58 and his wife, Julie Walters, established the prize
because of their deep personal regard for Adams and his work.
Rose, a real-estate developer and attorney, was a member of the
1958 Dickinson lacrosse team that made college history when it
won Dickinson’s first and only national title. A founding partner of
Greenebaum and Rose Associates, he has more than 40 years of
experience in commercial development, primarily in the
Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. He is an emeritus trustee of
Dickinson and was awarded an honorary Doctor of Philanthropy
by the college in 2013 for his support of education and environ-
mental causes.
Committed to restoring and sustaining the natural world for
future generations, Rose and Walters created this prize to focus
attention on the need to reduce the impact of human lives on the
planet, particularly given the rising population predictions for this
century.
Dickinson, a national leader and innovator in sustainability
education, challenges its students through classroom studies, living
laboratories, service learning, student-faculty research and study
abroad to build the knowledge and skills needed to create a
sustainable world. Courses throughout the curriculum examine
and seek solutions to national and global environmental problems.
Dickinson’s achievements and leadership in sustainability have
earned the highest recognition from the Association for the
Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, Sierra
magazine, the Sustainable Endowments Institute, The Princeton
Review and Second Nature.
Pulitzer Prize-winning author
Elizabeth Kolbert is the fifth
recipient of the Sam Rose ’58 and
Julie Walters Prize at Dickinson
College for Global Environmental
Activism.
Kolbert’s most recent book,
The Sixth Extinction, received the
Pulitzer Prize for general
nonfiction in 2015. She is also the
author of Field Notes From a
Catastrophe: Man, Nature, and
Climate Change and edited The
Best American Science and Nature Writing 2009.
A staff writer at The New Yorker since 1999, Kolbert writes
extensively on climate change. Her three-part series on global
warming, The Climate of Man, from which Field Notes was adapted,
won the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s
magazine writing award and a National Academies
communications award. She is a two-time National Magazine
Award winner, and has received a Heinz Award and Guggenheim
Fellowship. Additionally, Kolbert is a visiting fellow at the Center
for Environmental Studies at Williams College. She will be in
residence at Dickinson in the fall 2016 semester (dates to be
determined).

Photo Stand Procedure
Photos of students receiving their diplomas may be taken from the photo stand on the left side of the platform. Please assist us in making sure every
family has the opportunity to take a photo by sending only one family member per graduate to the photo area well in advance of your student’s
descent down the “old stone steps.” College personnel will be stationed near the photo area to help you move onto the platform shortly before your
graduate receives his or her diploma. Please note that this area is for photography only. No video recording will be permitted, as doing so is time
consuming and does not allow other families the same opportunity to photograph their graduate.
Diplomas
At the request of past graduates and parents, we have not rolled the actual diplomas. The original diplomas will be available for pickup by the graduate or a family member on Britton Plaza (or, in the case of inclement weather, in
Biddle House) immediately following Commencement. Please be sure to pick them up by 2 p.m.
Photographs
U.S. Candids will take photographs of each graduate. Photos will be posted online within two to three days after the graduation ceremony.
You can view and purchase photos online at www.uscandids.com. If you are unable to view the photos online, please call 844-922-6343.
For additional information, questions or comments, please e-mail [email protected].
Videos
A professional videographer will record the ceremony. To purchase copies of the DVD or Blu-ray disc,
contact Bucher’s Video at 717-334-0038.

In 1888-1889, Charles Francis Himes was acting president, and in 1986-1987, George Allan, the
dean of the college, served as acting president. During the periods 1816 to 1821 and 1832 to 1834
the college was closed.
Presidents of the College
– 24 –
In 1773 the citizens of Carlisle founded a grammar school on
land donated by Thomas and John Penn, but classes were
temporarily suspended when the first schoolmaster left to serve
at Valley Forge. With an optimism buoyed by colonial indepen-
dence, Philadelphia physician Benjamin Rush proposed that the
fledgling school be transformed into a college that would be
“a source of light and knowledge to the western parts of the
United States”—the wilderness lands stretching west from the
Susquehanna River.
John Dickinson, governor of Pennsylvania and drafter of the
Articles of Confederation, was persuaded, and on Sept. 9, 1783,
a charter was approved by the Representatives of the Freemen of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The new college, founded
by Presbyterians but with an independent board of trustees, was
dedicated to “the instruction of Youth in the learned languages”
and in the “useful arts, Sciences, and Literature.”
Charles Nisbet, a Calvinist minister from Scotland, was the
first principal of the college. He insisted on rationality and high
standards of learning and encouraged the founding of two of
the nation’s oldest continuing literary societies, Belles Lettres
(1786) and Union Philosophical (1789). Chief Justice Roger
Brooke Taney, class of 1795, and U.S. President James Buchanan,
class of 1809, were among their early student members.
The college’s first permanent building, Old West, was
completed in 1805. Benjamin Latrobe, the architect of the
Capitol building in Washington, contributed both preliminary
designs and working drawings for the building. To him and to
its builders, higher education was a cause upon which the life of
their new nation depended, and Old West was built as a living
monument to their conviction. Known as the “College Edifice,”
the building was crowned by a weathervane replica of a classical
sea deity, interpreted and rendered by a local coppersmith in the
form of a buxom mermaid. Over the years, it has become a
distinctive symbol of this inland campus.
When Old West was erected, Dickinson’s trustees and donors
had the same broad objective in mind—to secure the freedom
and future of America by assuring an educated citizenry. They
agreed that liberty must be founded on learning. This aim was
inscribed on the college’s seal, a copy of which appears on the
cover of this program. Among the donors were a U.S. president
(Thomas Jefferson), a U.S. vice president (James Madison),
a chief justice (John Marshall), members of President Jefferson’s
cabinet and members of the Supreme Court—in all, more than
100 patriots and soldiers of the War for Independence.
In the early 19th century, Dickinson fell on hard times,
briefly closing twice before coming under the sponsorship of the
Methodist Church in 1833. The college was revitalized under the
leadership of its new president, John Price Durbin, a former
chaplain of the U.S. Senate.
During the Civil War, Dickinson sent her sons to fight on
both sides, hopeful “that college loyalties would bind where civil
strife separated.” In the years after the war, Dickinson leavened
its abiding commitment to liberal-arts education with several
innovations. The college became coeducational in 1884 in
response to the determination and courage of its first woman
student, Zatae Longsdorff, class of 1887. The law department,
inaugurated in 1834, became the Dickinson School of Law in
1890 but has operated independently from the college since
1917. Dickinson also introduced elective courses for its students
at this time and experimented briefly with awarding doctoral
degrees in cursu. Following World War I, President James Henry
Morgan presided over a new educational experiment that
required students to graduate with a major field of concentra-
tion as a part of their general baccalaureate.
Since 1960, under the leadership of Presidents Howard L.
Rubendall ’31, Samuel A. Banks, A. Lee Fritschler, William G.
Durden ’71 and Nancy A. Roseman, the first female president of
the college, Dickinson has developed and expanded a balanced
and diverse liberal-arts curriculum that has fostered a wide
range of distinctive multidisciplinary strengths that include
innovative programming in global and sustainability studies; a
willingness to tackle contemporary challenges through emerging
fields such as security studies; a nationally celebrated workshop/
laboratory approach to science education; abundant student-
faculty research opportunities; extensive internship, study-
abroad and service-learning options; and a distinctive first-year
seminar program.
Dickinson’s picturesque campus has always served as a park
and playing field for students, its history punctuated by major
fires, an 1863 Confederate Army bivouac and soldier parade
drills in 1917 and 1942. In the early years, professors and
students cultivated cabbages and onions on the grounds. Today,
the campus’ abundant flowers and trees are augmented by
produce, herbs and forage greens, which also thrive at the
nearby organic Dickinson College Farm. In warm weather,
classes often are held on the campus green, and as in generations
past, Commencement exercises and other ceremonious
occasions take place by the “old stone steps” of Old West.
