A MESSAGE FROMPRESIDENT PAINO

Dear Mary Washington graduates,

Congratulations! This is a great day of celebration – for you, for your family and friends, and for the entire Mary Washington community. I commend you for the hard work and dedication that have led to this important occasion, your commencement.

Not only is Mary Washington a place of academic rigor and commitment to excellence in all that we do, it also is a place where people truly matter as individuals and where people genuinely care about one another. It is that sense of community that sets us apart and that will live within you for years to come.

The Mary Washington story is your story. What you have achieved here, the relationships you have forged with faculty and your fellow students, will forever be woven into the fabric of Mary Washington. And the values of honor, integrity, and citizenship that you have practiced here will serve as a foundation for the remainder of your life. Go forward with pride and with the knowledge that you are well prepared for all of life’s challenges and opportunities.

I extend my personal best wishes to you for success in all of your future endeavors. I encourage you always to remain close to your Mary Washington family and to return here often.

Sincerely,

Troy D. Paino, J.D., Ph.D.President

COMMENCEMENT SPEAKERANABETH GUTHRIE

Ann Elizabeth “Anabeth” Guthrie ’97 is chief of communications for the National Gallery of Art, one of the world’s preeminent museums. Its collection holds more than 130,000 paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculptures, works of decorative art, and pieces of furniture.

Affiliated with the National Gallery for 16 years, the Memphis native previously served as the gallery’s senior publicist and deputy press officer. She has been chief of communications for nearly four years.

Before joining the National Gallery of Art, Guthrie worked in public affairs for the Smithsonian Institution’s resident associate program and traveling exhibition.

Guthrie received a bachelor’s degree in art history from what was then Mary Washington College. While studying at Mary Washington, Guthrie received an individual study research grant. The year after receiving her bachelor’s degree, she served as an assistant and an exhibit preparer at Mary Washington Galleries.

Asked in a Smithsonian Association Q&A to describe her management style, the National Gallery’s chief spokeswoman replied, “coach, leader, example, guide, framer, but never micro.” She added, “I want people’s creativity to bubble to the surface, and I want people to be able to act on their creativity.”

An artist, Guthrie illustrated the children’s book A Katie Dog Day on Nantucket. She serves on the boards of the American Alliance of Museums and the Public Relations Society of America.

Faculty members who have served the University of Mary Washington for at least 15 years and who have attained the rank of professor or associate professor are eligible to be considered for emeritus status. This honor, by action of the Board of Visitors, is bestowed this year upon the following distinguished members of the faculty.

Julie A. HodgeAssociate Professor of Theatre ______________________________________________________

Associate Professor of Theatre Julie A. Hodge has taught costume design, stage management, scene painting, and more at the University of Mary Washington for 23 years. For five years before that, she was an assistant professor of theatre at Knox College in Illinois.

At Mary Washington, Hodge has designed scenery for 44 productions, lighting for 23, and costumes for one. “When you add it up, Julie has spent more than three years in technical rehearsal at UMW,” said department chair and Professor of Theatre Gregg Stull. “Three years devoted to building a program of excellence on top of her classes, professional work, advising, and service to the department, college, University, and community.”

Hodge earned a B.F.A. from Northern Kentucky University and an M.F.A. from Indiana University. She has done tie-dyeing demonstrations in the area, designed furniture for a boys’ academy in North Carolina, and renovated a television station lobby in Washington, D.C.

At Mary Washington, she served on committees ranging from academic resources to race and gender. She also was a board member for student conduct review hearings.

Students have left Hodge’s classes surprised by what they can do, Stull said. “Julie teaches and, in so doing, changes lives.”

Christopher “Topher” Bill Faculty Service Award in 2014 and the Outstanding Graduate Faculty Teaching Award in 2013.

In applauding Martinette’s teaching, Associate College of Business Dean Ken Machande described him as “changing people’s lives.”

Professor of Chemistry Raymond B. Scott joined the Mary Washington faculty in 1984 after receiving a master’s degree and a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Cincinnati. As an undergraduate, he earned honors in chemistry and biology from Hartwick College.

An avid piper, Scott formed the award-winning UMW Eagle Pipe Band, which he has directed since its inception in 1997. He was a founder of UMW’s Summer Science Institute, which he directed from 1999 to 2012.

A member of the American Chemical Society and the Society for Electroanalytical Chemistry, Scott

has served as chair of the Department of Chemistry and has taught courses ranging from introduction to chemistry to honors and analytical chemistry. He has advised the UMW Honor Council and Chi Beta Phi. In 2006, Scott was awarded the J. Christopher “Topher” Bill Faculty Service Award.

A New England native, Scott has been “the model for service at the University, college, and

departmental levels as well as in the larger Fredericksburg community,” according to his colleague and friend Associate Professor of Chemistry Leanna Giancarlo. Scott has played with the Fredericksburg Community Concert Band, judged school science fairs, served as a counselor for the Boy Scouts of America Chemistry Merit Badge, and taught AP high school chemistry. He is a clerk of session at Hope Presbyterian Church.

“Ray tries to make chemistry more accessible,” Giancarlo said. “He is our students’ fiercest advocate.”

ACADEMIC CUSTOMS AND DRESS

The origins of many customs of the academic world can be traced to the Middle Ages, particularly the 11th and 12th centuries, when the first European universities – Bologna, Paris, and Oxford – were founded.

In their original organization, the universities were like medieval corporations or guilds. In fact, the word “universitas” originally referred to any kind of corporation. The students at the universities were equated to guild apprentices, so the completion of the apprenticeship was celebrated by a “commencement” marking the beginning of their careers.

In the 12th century, everyone wore gowns. The social and economic status of an individual was shown by the extra features, such as fur trimming, on the gowns. Cloaks with hoods were worn over gowns for protection in bad weather. Degrees began to be awarded in the 13th century, and different styles of gowns and different colors came to represent the various degrees and disciplines.

Over the centuries the styles of dress changed, and by the 17th century the wearing of gowns by men had virtually ceased. But the universities, particularly those in Britain, continued to be conservative and strict in the manner of academic customs and dress. At Oxford, for instance, a candidate for a master’s degree had to swear that he owned a gown and would always wear it at the proper times.

The first American universities were founded on English models. However, the wearing of academic dress was not universal and ceased during the Civil War. The custom was revived in the late 19th century, and in 1895 an academic custom code was adopted that, with modifications, is still used.

Most American universities have the standard black gown with the hood serving to distinguish the individual institution. Some American and European universities have adopted or preserved more distinctive gowns. There are three styles of gowns, distinguished mainly by the sleeves: the bachelor’s gown, with long pointed sleeves; the master’s, with a squared sleeve, cut so the forearm is free; and the doctoral gown, with bell-shaped sleeves with three velvet bands.

The hood is the most distinguishing feature of modern gowns, indicating the degree (the width of the edging band), the discipline (the color of the band), and the college or university (the colors of the lining). Today’s graduates have hoods edged in white (B.A.), gold (B.S., BLS), or apricot (BSN). Many faculty members will have blue edging indicating the doctoral degree. The faculty will wear hoods representing many distinguished institutions of higher education.

THE ACADEMIC MACE

The tradition of the academic mace began in the late 14th century, when two ancient instruments, the royal scepter and the battle mace, were

combined to form a symbol of the authority of the president or rector of a university. Noblemen carried the battle mace as both a weapon and staff of command, and the sovereign used the regal scepter as a sign of rulership, justice, and authority.

Together with the chain of office, the academic mace indicates that the president of the university is the temporary embodiment of the power,

authority, autonomy, and sovereignty vested in the institution represented.

At the University of Mary Washington, the grand marshal carries the academic mace on behalf of the president at academic events such as commencement exercises, inaugurations, and convocations.

The original University of Mary Washington mace, first used for the May 1970 Commencement, was designed by Asprey and Company of London, England. The sterling mace carried in today’s commencement ceremony was commissioned as a special project of the University Centennial Celebration in 2008. It was designed by Suzannah Wagner Merritt of Ashland, Virginia. The mace encompasses numerous symbols of the University, including lapis stones to display the school color; blossoms of dogwood to honor the Virginia state

tree; acorns and oak leaves to recall the historic tree at Brompton, home of the UMW president; and a herringbone motif representing Campus Walk. The six prongs are engraved with the six names of the school prior to its becoming a university in 2004; the prongs are adorned with a lapis disc engraved with the University seal. The handle is emblematic of the original Mary Washington mace.

THE UNIVERSITY SEAL

In addition to a book and lamp, signifying knowledge, the University seal denotes the year the institution was founded, 1908, and the University motto, Pro Deo Domo Patria, translated from Latin to “For God, home, and country.”

51

THE EAGLE PIPE BAND

As has become tradition, the UMW Eagle Pipe Band will perform at today’s commencement ceremony.

The band was formed in 1997 with a small number of Mary Washington students and members of the Fredericksburg community. Over the years a number of students have learned piping, drumming, or dancing skills through participation in this group. The band has been a top contender in pipe band competitions across the East Coast.

The Eagle Pipe Band was founded by Raymond B. Scott, University of Mary Washington professor of chemistry, and is under his direction. The tartan worn by the musicians was designed for the University to match the school colors and is registered in Scotland’s official registry of tartans.

PRESIDENTIAL COLLAR

Chains of office, also known as collars, originated in the Middle Ages and are worn today by presidents on ceremonial occasions as part of their

regalia. The University of Mary Washington chain is a unique design crafted from gold-plated sterling silver with lapis lazuli gem accents. Symbols important to the history of the University are incorporated in elements of the chain. A large medallion, depicting the university seal, is flanked by white oak leaves symbolic of the historic oak tree at Brompton. The names of the presidents of the institution, along with their dates of service, are engraved on links that are connected with blossoms of dogwood, the Virginia state tree. The chain was unveiled during the University of Mary Washington Commencement in 2006,

and it is presented to each new president to wear during ceremonial occasions.

1908 SOCIETY

The 1908 Society is a special designation created to honor all Mary Washington alumni who have previously celebrated their 50th class reunions.
