History

Founded by Lutheran pioneers in education in 1847, Carthage has had four names and four locations in its 166 years. The College was chartered by the Illinois General Assembly on Jan. 22, 1847. Back then, the College was located in Hillsboro, Ill., and was known as The Literary and Theological Institute of the Lutheran Church in the Far West. The name was soon shortened to Hillsboro College.

With a two-person faculty and 79 students, Hillsboro promised “a course of study designed to be thorough and practical, and to embrace all the branches of learning usually pursued in the best academies and colleges.” Hillsboro prospered in its first two years, thanks to support from Lutheran congregations. In 1852, the College relocated to the larger town of Springfield, Ill., and assumed the new name of Illinois State University.

In 1870, the College moved again, this time to the rural, west-central Illinois city of Carthage, where the College acquired its current name. By 1916, the College gained accreditation from the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and received the association’s highest rating of “A+” — one of only four colleges in Illinois to gain this honor. By 1927, enrollment in the College had reached nearly 300 students.

The Great Depression and World War II lowered enrollment to 131 students in 1943. Ten years later, the Board of Trustees agreed to consider relocating Carthage once again. By 1962, Carthage had established its lakeshore campus in Kenosha, Wis., and the College launched an era of exciting growth.

The next decade brought a period of continuous expansion. Enrollment increased fivefold, the endowment tripled, and physical assets increased 600 percent. In Fall 1995, Carthage enrolled 1,527 full-time students, setting a new record. Full-time enrollment now stands at a record level of 2,500 students. Total enrollment is 3,400 students. Intensive national searches have built a teaching-oriented faculty holding Ph.D.s from major graduate programs across the country. In the past decade alone, the College has invested more than $130 million in new construction, major renovations, and technological acquisition.

A challenging academic program, personal care and attention, and an abiding respect for human and religious values ... these remain the foundations of Carthage College.

Gregory S. Woodward is the 22nd President of Carthage. He took office in August 2012. A composer, musician, scholar, and onetime Division I soccer player, Dr. Woodward came to Carthage from Ithaca College, where he served five years as Dean of the School of Music, leading one of the premier undergraduate music conservatories in the country.

As Dean, Dr. Woodward implemented a new merit aid program to attract outstanding music students; established a preparatory division and a summer music academy; began to develop several programs with conservatories throughout Asia, Ghana, and South America; and created a new vision focusing on creativity, diversity, and entrepreneurship in the arts. He increased gifts from alumni, in scholarship funding, in special touring and contemporary music programs, and for the endowment.

Prior to becoming Dean of the School of Music, Dr. Woodward served four years as Dean of Graduate and Professional Studies, where he doubled enrollment and applications and led the establishment and expansion of several doctoral and master’s degree programs. In 2010, he served as interim Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs, leading Ithaca College in the formation of a new 10-year strategic plan focusing on academic enhancement, elevation, and holistic education. A strong supporter of diversity, he led a program of minority pre-doctoral fellows for the School of Humanities and Sciences.

Dr. Woodward earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Connecticut, master’s degree from Ithaca College, and Doctor of Musical Arts from Cornell University. He joined Ithaca’s Department of Music Theory, History, and Composition as a composer in 1984, becoming a full professor in 2000. He previously served on the music faculty at Cornell and at Valparaiso University, and was an ongoing guest of the Sanford Visiting Scholar Program in the School of Music at Yale University.

Dr. Woodward is married to Penelope, a decorated public school music teacher, and has three adult children.

Symbols, Traditions, and Regalia

Carthage’s Presidential Medallion was introduced at the Inauguration of Erno Dahl, the College’s 19th president, on October 7, 1977. The medallion has since been worn by Presidents Alan Anderson, F. Gregory Campbell, and now Gregory S. Woodward. It is a silver medallion with the College’s crest, a book and flame encircled with the words “Carthage College Founded 1847” and “Christo et Ecclesiae,” a Latin term meaning “For Christ and the Church.” The circle is surrounded by two laurel branches representing victory, triumph, peace, and eternal life.

The Convocation procession at Carthage is led by the crucifer, symbolizing the centrality of the Christian faith to the College as a community of faith and a community of learning. Following the crucifer is the macebearer, the longest-serving faculty member, who symbolizes the authority of the faculty to approve the awarding of degrees.

Seven students, selected by faculty, carry academic banners, representing the seven divisions of learning at Carthage. Each banner is divided into two fields. One displays the Carthage Flame in ivory on crimson moire bordered in white and black Victorian embroidery. The other field incorporates the colors of each division based on the Intercollegiate Code of 1895, symbols pertinent to each discipline, and the College’s third color, black. A tassel hangs where the two halves converge, unifying the College with its division. •TheNaturalSciencesbannerincorporatesthesunasarondelle,whichsymbolizeslife,

According to the heraldic historian Guillum, the use of bars represents “setting the bar” of conscience, ethics, and honor against ungoverned passions and evil. In addition, the bars are set on angle, representing service and defense.

Four banners represent the four communities in which the College has made its home over the years: •Hillsboro,Ill.(1847–1852):Oakleavesandacorns,whichrepresentgrowthandstrength

views of Lake Michigan, A. F. Siebert Chapel represents the current campus, which overlooks a sea of blue.

During the procession, faculty marshals lead the faculty, who are dressed in academic attire. The marshals are the macebearer’s two faculty successors in terms of seniority. Principal features of traditional academic attire are the cap, gown, and hood. The cap worn almost universally in academic processions is the Oxford cap, better known as the mortarboard. Poetry teaches us that the cap of scholarship is square to symbolize a book. It is always black. A different style, called the Cambridge cap, resembles a large beret. The tradition of wearing a dark robe in academic processions is thought to have arisen from the clerical practice of wearing a cape or mantle in religious processions during the 12th and 13th centuries. In recent years, however, a number of universities have incorporated other hues that signify the schools’ traditional colors. The Master’s gown has long, pointed, closed sleeves. The traditional Doctoral gown is faced down the front and across the sleeves with velvet in a color representing the discipline of the degree recipient. The academic hoods, worn around the neck and down the back of the gown, are lined with the official colors of the college or university conferring the degree. The color of the binding or edging of the hood usually represents the discipline: Arts, Letters, and Humanities—White; Business and Commerce—Olive; Economics—Drab or Copper; Education—Light Blue or Sage Green; Engineering—Orange; Fine Arts—Brown; Music—Pink; Philosophy—Dark Blue; Physical Education—Sage Green; Science—Golden Yellow; Social Science—Cream; Social Work—Citron; and Theology—Scarlet.

The President’s Cabinet and College Assembly are recognized in the procession with red satin stoles lined with white and displaying the Carthage flame embroidered on the left side of the stole. The President’s Cabinet consists of the Officers who guide the College’s primary areasofadministration:AcademicAffairs;AdministrationandBusiness(BusinessServices,Athletics,HumanResources,andLibraryandInformationServices);InstitutionalAdvancement;Enrollment; Student Affairs, and the President’s Office. The College Assembly serves as a sounding board and communicating body, leads the College in discussions of new initiatives, and acts as a coordinating and planning body across all College departments and functions.

Today’s Inauguration Ceremony features music selected to introduce our new President, Dr. Gregory S. Woodward, himself a composer, and to celebrate the beginning of a new era for Carthage.

Music selected for the Prelude highlights the three spheres that operate in harmony for most academicians: Family, the Academy, and the Student-Teacher connection.

Dana Wilson, composer of Shortcut Home, is known to President Woodward as a valued colleague and friend from the Ithaca School of Music, the academic institution where Dr. Woodward played an integral role for many years. This jazzy prelude is full of vivacity, enthusiasm, and optimism for the future.

Dr. Woodward’s own composition, Band Together, was written for the Trumansburg, N.Y., High School Band when Mrs. Woodward was the band’s director. It aims to portray in musical terms a community of disparate people who “band together” through music-making to experience a sense of connection and purpose that supersedes individualism and celebrates collective achievement—in essence, building a sense of family. We are thrilled to have Mrs. Woodward conduct this work today.

Karel Husa is an iconic contemporary composer of world renown and exemplifies the pinnacle of achievement in his art. Those whom he has touched with his music or by his presence come away changed. Dr. Woodward studied composition with Mr. Husa at Cornell University, later becoming a colleague and one of his closest friends. Mr. Husa’s Les Couleurs Fauves was written for another of Mr. Husa’s great friends, John P. Paynter, and is a vivid portrait of his quiet, elegantconfidence,aswellashisfierceenergy(reflectedintwocontrastingmovements).

Processional and Recessional music is also related to Dr. Woodward’s background as a musician. Leonard Bernstein’s Overture to Candide was arranged for band by Walter Beeler, former director of bands at Ithaca College. Ceremonial March was written by another of Dr. Woodward’s great friends, Thomas Duffy, for the Inauguration of Benno Schmidt, Jr., twentieth president of Yale University. Gustav Holst’s March from Suite in E-flat prominently featurestheclarinet(Dr.Woodward’sfirstinstrument)initsmainceremonialtune,andtheCharles Ives March Intercollegiate includesarousingsettingoftheCornellUniversity(andoriginalCarthageCollege)almamater.

Amati, presented for the first time in a new setting for solo soprano saxophone and wind ensemble, was originally written by Dr. Woodward in 1999. He writes:

One of my earliest and strongest musical memories is of the hundreds of nights as a youth when I would practice my clarinet, playing impromptu recitals for my mother as she was busy in the kitchen in the evening. These sessions—ranging musically from scale practice to jazz duets, with voice, and often lyrics, added to the clarinet’s—almost always concluded with my mother requesting a command performance of our favorite piece, the Mozart Clarinet Concerto. As we played and sang along, this work, and over the years, Mozart’s music in general, formed a never-ending musical bond between the two of us; beautifully and constantly refreshing and augmenting our shared memories, experiences, and relationship. Amati recreates the spirit and content of those long-ago practice sessions in a kind of dream-like, hazy remembrance, painting the scene with musicalelementsalldrawnfromMozart’swonderfulworkfortheclarinet.(MyapologiesandbowstoWolfgang.)Lookingback,bothmusicallyandpersonally,itisalmosthardto remember who was really ever the clarinetist and who was the singer; where does one of us leave off and the other begin? For this, and for the impetus for my mostly musical life, the composer feels blessed, and yet, not really grateful, for clearly the gifts, as in all else, have been bestowed in both directions.

Amati is dedicated to the composer’s mother, Vivian Marie Woodward, and was composed for the dedication ceremony of the James J. Whalen Center for Music at Ithaca College. Its premiere featured Ithaca College faculty members, with Steven Mauk on soprano saxophone, who joins us today to perform as a soloist.

Let The People Praise Thee, O God, by English composer William Mathias, was a commission for the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana in 1981. Adapted from Psalm 67, the text is a song of praise and thanksgiving for the promise of a bountiful future. The College mission of Seeking Truth, Building Strength, Inspiring Service—Together is woven into the fabric of this inspirational anthem.
