THE NATIONAL ANTHEM(Audience will kindly rise and sing)
Oh! say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in airGave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
Oh! say, does that star-spangled banner yet waveO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

HONORARY DEGREE CITATIONS - May 16, 1987
Dr. Albert B. Sabin --.
It is easy to agrec with the writer who said, "The best part of one's life is the working part, the creative part. Successis to be enjoyed, but the real spiritual and emotional excitement is in the doing." And so Dr. Albert B. Sabin has ledboth a successful AND exciting life because he has been doing a great deal, for a long time.
To be honest, we are honored to have him here not because his life has been exciting for him, but because it hasbeen so rewarding for the rest of the world, for us.
Although he was born in Russia eighty years ago and earned his bachelor and medical degrees from New York University,Dr. Sabin spent most of his professional career in Cincinnati so we claim him as a Cincinnatian.
To understate his accomplishments, Dr. Sabin's career in biomedical research has been very productive. In the worldof science he is noted for his work on insect-borne viruses and on the human diseases they caused such as dengue, sandflyfever, and Japanese encephalitis. He is also recognized for his work on the genetics of natural resistance to certain viruses,and the discovery of the unique dye test for the toxoplasma antibody that elucidates the role of this parasite in humandisease. Toxoplasma diseases may be unfamiliar to most of us here, but they affect millions of people worldwide.
But it was his work on human poliomyelitis and on the complex properties of the polio viruses that made the greatestimpact on the world. In 1960, after extensive, worldwide preliminary trials, the oral polio vaccine developed by Dr. Sabinwas first used to treat about 100 million children in Europe. Late in 1960 it was also approved for use in the USA butit wasn't until 1962-64 that about 100 million persons of all ages received the vaccine in this country. That should includeeveryone here today. It is estimated that during the past 21 years, worldwide use of this vaccine has prevented about 5million cases of paralytic polio.
Father DiUlio, in keeping with the words of the astute observer who said, "He who benefits another does a beautifuland worthy deed," and because of his service to humanity with his tremendous contribution to the understanding of virusesand virus diseases, and because he has freed us, our children, and our children's children from the terrible threat of polio,I am privileged to present to you, Dr. Albert B. Sabin, for the degree of Doctor of Science, honoris causa.
Millard F. Rogers, Jr. --,
Concerning art, St. Thomas Aquinas said, "Art is simply a right method of doing things. The test of the artist doesnot lie in the will with which he goes to work, but in the excellence of the work he produces." By that definition thiscandidate for an honorary degree is an artist 'par excellence'!
Millard F. Rogers, Jr. has added to the quality of life in Our community through his efforts to bring the best in artto the greater Cincinnati area. Because of his talents and direction, many outstanding exhibitions have come to the Cincinnati Art Museum. Not only have the residents of the Cincinnati area benefited from Mr. Rogers' perception and dedication, but these exhibitions have drawn visitors from far away who have come to Cincinnati specifically for the qualityof these exhibitions.
No one should be surprised at his success. The career of Millard Rogers' has been marked with quality and distinction. He graduated with honors from Michigan State University. After earning a Master's degree in the history of Artfrom the University of Michigan, he became its first student to be awarded an internship at the Toledo Museum of Art.Following this, he received the Gosline Fellowship at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London where he studied underSir John Pope-Hennessy, former director of the British Museum.
He returned to the Toledo Museum of Art to begin his professional career. He served there as the curator of AmericanArt until 1967. In that year he was appointed professor of art history and the first director of Elvehjem (EI-vhem) ArtCenter at the University of Wisconsin - one of the largest university museums in this country.
Mr. Rogers' leadership has been amply displayed since he accepted the position of Director of the Cincinnati ArtMuseum in 1974. Many notable acquisitions have been made by the museum since he became director. Recent examplesinclude a major work by The Impressionist Claude Monet, as well as paintings by Franz Kline and William Hogarth.
Not only has the art collection been made more complete, and its scope enlarged, but the high quality of the collection has been maintained. Mr. Rogers has presented to our community many outstanding exhibitions and has dramaticallyincreased the national awareness of the Cincinnati Art Museum.
If it's true that Art is an instant of beauty and truth arrested in eternity, then, because of Millard Rogers, the Cincinnati Art Museum, the oldest of its kind west of the Alleghenies, is a dynamic home of much of what we hold importantin our lives.
Father DiUlio, because he has demonstrated a passion and perseverance for increasing the public's experience withthe joy in art and because he has enhanced the cultural welfare of the City of Cincinnati, it is my pleasure to presentto you Mr. Millard F. Rogers, Jr., for the degree of Doctor of Humanities, honoris causa.

THE SEAL OF XAVIER UNIVERSITY
The Seal or Heraldic Shield of Xavier University combines three principal ideas: St.Francis Xavier, patron of the University; the Jesuit Order of which he was a distinguished member; and the University. The five vertical stripes suggest the coat of arms of the Xavier family.A right arm 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 DeiGloriamJ. The words Vidit Mirabilia Magna [he has seen great wondersl are from the DivineOffice and in context say: "Such is he who having inquired into righteousness, has awakenedto her admirable grandeur."

XAVIER'S HERITAGE
Xavier was founded in 1831 by Bishop Edward Dominic Fenwick, O.P., pioneer Catholicbishop of Ohio, as the first Catholic institution of higher learning in the Northwest Territory.
Known as the Athenaeum, the college's first building, in downtown Cincinnati, was largelyfinanced by European Catholics and particularly by Catholic citizens of Vienna. The first classnumbered 60 students. From its beginning, the school was dedicated to the patronage of St.Francis Xavier. The Athenaeum attracted students from as far away as New Orleans, Mexicoand Central America, and its educational quality interested many local Protestant students.
In 1840, at the invitation of Bishop John Purcell of Cincinnati, the Society of Jesus (Jesuits)assumed control of the institution, ensuring a steady source of faculty. In 1840, under John A.Elet, SJ., the first Jesuit president, the institution was renamed St. Xavier College.
In 1841, Xavier offered its first evening classes and summer courses were introduced in 1914;thus beginning a tradition of serving the unique needs and schedules of professionals in theCincinnati community.
In 1920, the college moved to its present site in Avondale, and in 1930 was renamed XavierUniversity, reflecting its growth and complexity.
Xavier's growth in the century and a half since its founding reflects its origins as a teachinginstitution which soundly prepares students for careers or graduate study or both. Xavier'sCollege of Business Administration enrolls approximately 900 undergraduate students andapproximately 1500 MBA students at three campuses: Xavier, Ohio Dominican College andTransylvania University. The college's Center for Management and Professional Developmentprovides seminars and courses to more than 3000 business professionals annually.
Xavier has been an innovator in graduate education, establishing the first graduate programin Montessori education in the United States. Its graduate programs in education have producedthe second highest number of school administrators in the state of Ohio. Xavier's graduateprogram in hospital and health administration is a recognized innovator in the field, and alsoprovides timely and expert advice to health-care professionals through its Xavier Centre of HealthManagement Education.
Xavier traditionally is committed to high-quality undergraduate education. Of the 28 Jesuitcolleges and universities in the United States, Xavier ranks 9th in enrollment. It is among thetop ten institutions of higher learning in Ohio, ahead of many larger institutions, in enrollmentof National Merit Scholars. Xavier is in the top seven percent of approximately 800 independentAmerican four-year colleges whose alumni pursue graduate study in every field.
A Xavier education, particularly at the undergraduate level, is marked by an emphasis onliberal arts learning, contained in Xavier's always-retained core curriculum. Equally importantin the Xavier tradition is the synthesis of human, cultural and ethical values, concern and respectfor people, and an appreciation of the worth and dignity of the self and others.

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 e'stablished in 1895. Review andrevisions to the 1895 academic apparel codes occurred in 1932 and 1959.
