THE NATIONAL ANTHEM(Audience will kindly rise and sing.)

o say, can you see, by the dawn's early lightWhat so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming ­

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fightO'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming!

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in airGave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there;

O! say, does that star-spangled banner yet waveO'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?

HONORARY DEGREE CITATIONS - May 17, 1986

Robert G. Kluener .......

"The Xavier years are a time for preparing morally and mentally for the world ahead," is the wise observation ofone of Xavier University's most distinguished and dedicated graduates, Robert G. Kluener.

The entire Xavier University community is indeed fortunate to be a part of the "world ahead" of Mr. Kluener forhe has provided distinguished leadership and dedicated service to his Alma Mater as Chairman of the Board of Trus;ees.

With Cincinnati roots that are deep, Mr. Kluener utilized well the strong foundation he developed as a motivatedundergraduate more than forty years ago. After receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry, Mr. Kluener joinedCincinnati's St. Thomas Institute as a biochemist. He later moved on to Schenley Laboratories, also as a biochemist.In 1953, he joined Campbell-Hausfeld, where he became president one year later and led the company through a remarkableperiod of expansion and productivity. In 1971, Campbell-Hausfeld was acquired by a prestigious Fortune 500 company.

Throughout his life, Mr. Kluener never misplaced his loyalty to his Alma Mater. In 1984, Mr. Kluener was awardedthe Alumni Association's Distinguished Alumnus Award for, "his exemplary life and his outstanding contributions to hiscommunity, his church and his university." In addition, in 1981 Mr. Kluener served as honorary Chairman of the MardiGras Ball.

Mr. Kluener has also offered his services to other institutions. As Chairman of the Board of Trustees of St. Francis­St. George Health Service, Inc., he is a pragmatic activist for compassionate and affordable health care in a time of spirallingindustry costs. He also received in 1982 the Astrolabe Award of Roger Bacon High School as an alumnus who makes"a significant contribution to humanity and reflects the school's ideals and traditions."

President Mastrianna, because he has provided distinguished leadership as Chairman of the Board of Trustees ofXavier University, and has demonstrated to an eminent degree a caring concern for his fellow man, and has lived a lifereplete with committed service to just causes, it is my pleasure to present to you, Mr. Robert G. Kluener, for the degreeof Doctor of Humanities, honoris causa.

Edward J. Maruska --,

Commitment, innovation, sensitivity, creativity - adjectives that describe the type ofleadership Edward 1. Maruskahas provided as Executive Director of the world-famous Cincinnati Zoo since 1968.

It has been said that dreams and visions become reality when Mr. Maruska commandeers an organization. How cananyone question such a statement after visiting the Cincinnati Zoo.

During Mr. Maruska's tenure as Executive Director, the Zoo has become a world leader in breeding endangered species,constructing quality exhibits, pursuing cooperative zoo-university research projects, and establishing an impressive edu­cational program. Indeed, Xavier University students made nearly 1,000 visits to the Zoo during the past year. One needonly visit the Children's Zoo, or the recently opened Carnivore House, or the Insect World to see Mr. Maruska's contribu­tion to achieving national recognition. The Cincinnati Zoo's success in breeding endangered species is world renown.We in Cincinnati have become accustomed to news of the birth of a baby gorilla or white tiger. That same news bringsrecognition from throughout the world to Mr. Maruska, the Zoo, and our City.

Mr. Maruska has also displayed leadership within his field. He is past president of the American Association ofZoological Parks and Aquariums and continues active involvement in special projects for that association. In 1976,Mr. Maruska was awarded the "Outstanding Service Award" from the A.A.Z.P.A. Mr. Maruska is also a member ofscores of organizations pertaining to his profession. In addition, Mr. Maruska was selected in 1973 as "City of CincinnatiConservation Man of the Year." In 1974, he received the Cincinnati Ambassador Award from the Cincinnati Conventionand Visitors Bureau.

President Mastrianna, since he has achieved world-wide recognition as a leader in his chosen field, and has enhancedthe cultural welfare of the City of Cincinnati, and has contributed so much to the education of students at Xavier andother institutions, I am proud to present to you, Mr. Edward 1. Maruska, for the degree of Doctor of Science, honoris causa.

The five vertical stripes suggest the coat of arms of the Xavier family. A rightarm wearing the Jesuit robe holds aloft the Crucifix, signifying St. Francis Xavier preachingChrist crucified. The three red sea shells signify the three journeys of Xavier into the Orient.Above the shield is the Jesuit seal and below is the Jesuit motto, A.M.D.G. [Ad Majorem DeiGloriam].

ACADEMIC APPARELHISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE

The history of academic dress and its significance has its beginnings from the earliest daysof the old universities. As early as the fourteenth century some colleges required scholars to wearlong gowns. Specifications of academic apparel became greatly diversified in Europe.

American colleges and universities decided it beneficial to have a standardized intercollegiateacademic apparel code for the United States. In May 1895, representatives from interestedinstitutions met at Columbia University and adopted a code for academic dress.

The "Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume" was formed in 1902 to serve as theinformation source in matters pertaining to academic dress. In 1932 the American Council onEducation appointed a committee to revise the apparel codes established in 1895. Review andrevisions to the 1895 academic apparel codes occurred in 1932 and 1959.
