The Tradition of Commencement
Commencement — from the ancient practice of beginning life’s work at the end
of an apprenticeship — has roots eight centuries in the European past.
The robes and caps worn by the faculty and graduating students at the University
of Arizona follow the style of Oxford University, England.
The bachelor’s gown, of poplin or a similar cloth, has long, pointed sleeves; the
master’s gown, also of poplin, has long, closed sleeves with square ends and a
slit at the elbow for the arm to come through; the doctor’s gown has full, round,
open sleeves, is faced with velvet, and has three velvet stripes on the sleeves.
The sobriety of the blue or black gowns is relieved by the bright spectrum of
colors of hood and tassel indicating the wearer’s field of study. At the University
of Arizona, candidates for the bachelor’s degree do not wear hoods, but the
colors of their tassels indicate the fields in which they are receiving degrees. The
candidates for advanced degrees wear hoods lined with silk in the official red
and blue colors of the University. The velvet edging of the hood bears the color of
the candidate’s major field. The official color for the Doctor of Philosophy degree
is dark blue, regardless of the major field of study. Tassel colors used by advanced
degree candidates are: master’s, black; doctoral, old gold.
The official degree colors established by the Intercollegiate Code in 1895 are used
to represent the following major fields of learning at the University of Arizona:
Agriculture and Life Sciences · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·Maize

At the moment the degree is conferred, the new bachelors move the tassels from
right to left to signify their changed academic status.
The academic procession is composed of the officers of administration,
members of the Arizona Board of Regents, deans of colleges, faculty members,
doctoral candidates, honorary degree recipients, other award recipients and
candidates for master’s and bachelor’s degrees.

The University of Arizona Ceremonial Mace
The ceremonial – or academic – mace of the University of Arizona
reflects the unique character, mission and values of this institution. At
Commencement, it is carried by the Chair of the Faculty and signifies
the order and authority of the academic procession. The placing of the
mace in its stand marks the beginning of the ceremony. Its removal
signifies the end of the platform ceremony.
In medieval times, maces were used in combat. In time, bodyguards
carried maces to protect royalty. By the 16th century, maces took on the
elegance of silver, gold and precious stones and were incorporated into
academic and civil ceremonies.
The symbol of authority for the City of London, for example, is the mace
of the Lord Mayor.
The University of Arizona mace features a crown of sterling silver
surrounding the seal of the University, which is accented with 22K gold.
Underlying the crown are 24 acrylic strips in the school colors of red
and blue, which add a jewel-like sparkle. The main shaft is made of local
mesquite with a sterling silver band inscribed with “the University of
Arizona,” accented with 22K gold. The tailpiece repeats the motif of the
crown and surrounds a medallion with an image of a wildcat, the school
mascot.
We thank the University of Arizona Foundation, the College of Fine
Arts and Professor Michael Croft for adding the gift of this mace to our
Commencement traditions.

Honorary Degrees and Awards
ANNA MARIA CHÁVEZ
COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER
HONORARY DEGREE
Chief Executive Officer of
the Girl Scouts of the USA
ANNA MARIA CHAVEZ
While growing up in Eloy, Arizona, Anna
Maria Chávez joined the Girl Scouts. That
pledge began a lifelong commitment to
the national organization and to public
service, particularly policy and advocacy
work on behalf of vulnerable and
underserved communities.
Chávez, who has been lauded for her years
of public service to the federal government
and nonprofit sector, now serves as the
Chief Executive Officer of the Girl Scouts
of the USA, a national organization
founded more than 100 years ago to
advance critical thinking, problem solving
and collaborative skills development
training for girls.
DR. TURKI FAISAL AL RASHEED
The first Latina to take the helm, Chávez’s
position leading the Girl Scouts in its
mission to help girls and women discover
the power of friendship, leadership and
service was foreshadowed by rigorous
academic training and a professional
commitment to federal and state service.
After her family moved from Eloy to
Phoenix, Chávez decided to attend
Yale University, having earned a full
scholarship. There, she earned her
bachelor’s degree in American history.
Chávez later earned her Juris Doctorate
from the University of Arizona James E.
Rogers College of Law.
FLETCHER MCCUSKER
Chávez went on to serve as the in-house
counsel and assistant director for the
Division of Aging and Community
Services at the Arizona Department of
Economic Security. During her tenure
Chávez was responsible for the oversight
of programs and initiatives designed
to aid refugees, victims of domestic
violence and other adults who were
improvised and vulnerable.
Chávez also served as the deputy
chief of staff for Urban Relations
and Community Development under
then-Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano.
While working with federal agencies,
tribal governments and community
organizations, Chávez advised on
housing, economic development and
issues affecting Hispanic communities.
To this date, Chávez remains an ambitious
and impassioned national advocate for
community building and diversity.
Through her commitment to community
development, Chávez became a central
leader responsible for the establishment
of the Raul H. Castro Institute of Phoenix
College. The action-oriented institute
advocates for education, health and
human services, leadership and civic
participation in support of Arizona’s
Hispanic community.
Chávez also has served in a range of
capacities in Washington, D.C., including
senior policy advisor to former U.S.
Secretary of Transportation Rodney
E. Slater, chief of staff to the deputy
administrator at the U.S. Small Business,
legal counsel for the Federal Highway
Administration and attorney advisor in the
Office of the Counsel to the President.
Chávez then turned her personal and
professional attention to the Girls
Scouts, of which she had already been a
lifelong member.
An award-winning community leader,
Chávez became chief executive officer
of Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas in
2009. Two years later, she would be
elected to her current position with the
national organization, which supports
3.2 million youth members, adult
volunteers and employees.
Over the years, Chávez has earned
recognition for her leadership and
service from a number of organizations
and publications.
In 2012 she was named among The
NonProfit Times’ Power & Influence Top 50,
the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s
recipient of the Chairman’s Award and a
member of the STEMconnector top 100
list of Women Leaders in STEM. She also
earned the Women of Excellence Award
from the Women of the Association of
Latino Professionals in Finance and
Accounting and the Arizona National

renovation of a city block of abandoned
buildings. McCusker also was involved in
development initiatives that would expand
the arts district and the expansion of urban
development downtown.

students with opportunities in law,
public policy, nonprofit management
and other areas.

DAVID RUSSELL
HONORARY DEGREEE
Classical Guitarist
An acclaimed classical guitarist and
Grammy Award winner, David Russell has
a highly regarded international reputation
and is one of the most sought after soloists
and teachers in his field.
Over the course of his international career,
Russell has produced dozens of recordings,
primarily for the GHA Records and Telarc
Records. He also has performed in concerts,
recitals and music festivals and on stages in
major cities around the world – including
Los Angeles, New York, London, Tokyo,
Madrid and Rome – and is esteemed for his
captivating and pristine performances.
Born in Glasgow, United Kingdom,
Russell moved as a child with his family
to Minorca, a Spanish island that would
eventually name a street, “Avinguda David
Russell,” in his honor.
Russell’s father began teaching him
the instrument at a young age. Russell
studied the guitar, as well as the horn and
violin, at the Royal Academy of Music in
England, where he would later receive an
appointed visiting professor position.
Russell gained fame young in age
and early in his career, twice earning
the Julian Bream Guitar Prize, the
Royal Academy’s highly competitive
and prestigious honor. He went on
to receive a special grant from the
Spanish government to study with José
Tomás, a Spanish classical guitarist and
revolutionary figure in his field during
the 20th century.
The superb quality of his craft has
resulted in a range of other awards and
honors for Russell.
In 1975, Russell won the José Ramírez
Competition of Santiago de Compostela
and, two years later, the Andrés Segovia
Prize of Palma de Mallorca and the
Alicante Prize – eventually winning the
International Francisco Tárrega Guitar
Competition, one of the largest and most
competitive of its kind in the world.
In 1997, he was named a Fellow of The
Royal Academy of Music in London,
which is granted to musicians who have
distinguished themselves in the field.
Then, in 2003, Russell received the
Conservatory of the Balearics’ Medal of
Honor. In 2005, the Conservatory of Vigo
named the new recital hall, “Auditorio
David Russell,” in his honor.
Another significant milestone came in
2005 when Russell received a Grammy
Award for best instrumental soloist in
classical music for “Aire Latino.”
Since 1981, Russell has maintained an
invaluable connection with the UA School
of Music, playing concerts and leading
master classes with students of the
University’s’ renowned and highly ranked
Classical Guitar Program.
Russell’s connection with the UA would
result in Sanford “Sandy” and Phyllis
Bolton making significant contributions
to the University.
Attracted to the quality and depth of
Russell’s teaching and musicianship, the
Boltons made their first major give to
the UA specifically to sponsor Russell’s
residencies at the institution each spring.
Subsequently, Sandy Bolton would
endow gifts totaling $3.1 million to
support faculty and enable generations of
students to train in the highly regarded
program, while also ensuring that the
community would have continued access
to performances. The gifts also resulted
in the UA’s classical guitar program being
renamed the Sanford and Phyllis Bolton
Guitar Studies Program.

and Prescott kept the state capital. Tucson received
an unwelcome consolation prize of the University of
Arizona, and with it, a measly $25,000 appropriation, just one quarter of the amount Phoenix
received to build the insane asylum.
One condition the legislature slapped on Tucson
was that the people of Pima County had to donate
40 acres to the University. The response was less
than overwhelming. No one offered an inch. One
man decided the time had come to take matters

into his own hands. Jacob S. Mansfeld was a
member of the new Board of Regents. He took
a walk into the desert about a mile east of town
and picked out a site for the new university.
The land was owned by two professional gamblers, E.B. Gifford and Ben C. Parker, and saloon
keeper W.S. “Billy” Read. They weren’t all that
sure their land was the perfect spot for the new
Finally, on Nov. 27, 1886, the owners agreed and
the deed was filed. A year later, on Oct. 27, 1887,
ground was broken for the building that was to
be known as Old Main.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1899, UA played its first intercollegiate game with the Tempe
Normal School (later to become ASU), which had a more seasoned team since it had
made an earlier start in football. Tempe won, 11-2, but the loyal local paper thought the
University “showed more skill and science… lacked the physical strength…
the Tempe team outweighed the Tucson team by about one-third.”

In time the players got “uniforms”: padded canvas pants, old shoes to
which a local shoemaker attached cleats, shoulder pads made of old
shirts and stuffed into their playing shirts. No head-gear at all. “Training”
consisted of getting up early and running four or five miles – perhaps as
far as Fort Lowell and back – before showering and going to class.

As one of the first graduating classes at the University of Arizona, Mercedes Shibell entered the University
as a freshman (matriculation no. 5) in 1891 at the age of 15. Married and widowed twice, she became an
early career woman. She studied domestic science in San Francisco and worked for the Y.W.C.A. in food
management for a period of 35 years. Her work took her to France for two years during World War I, and
later to South America. In 1960, she was honored at the University’s 75th Anniversary. She died in Tucson,
September 14, 1965, at the age of 90.

Unfortunately, no interior photographs of Old Main were probably taken when
school began in 1891. It is known that besides classrooms, laboratories, and offices,
there were some temporary sleeping quarters for faculty and male students, a
kitchen and mess hall, space for a territorial weather bureau, and a photographic darkroom. The University was proud of its equipment, both for teaching and
research, and took pains to buy from the best suppliers.

The University’s original cactus garden (located in front of Old
Main from 1896 to 1929) was begun by Professor James W.
Toumey, the Botanist for the Agricultural Experiment Station,
in the fall of 1891. The garden was moved in 1896 to the area
shown here. A heart-shaped plot of ground, with a transported
soil cover of about twelve inches over a base of solid caliche, it
soon developed into a garden of over 600 species, an interesting contrast to the surrounding lawns, shrubs, and trees.

In impulsive defiance the male students, most
of them wearing their cadet uniforms, marched
downtown and simply took the holiday that had
been denied. The story was carried in the newspapers throughout the Territory, enraging many,
including Governor Brodie. The ring-leaders were
promptly disciplined with extra drills, and some
even put to work laying bricks.

The Role of Executive Control in

McKale came to Tucson in 1911 to accept a job at Tucson High School. His state championship baseball
teams were known for their victories embarrassing the college teams at the UA and Tempe Normal. A
student petition was presented to University President A. H. Wilde, asking him to hire McKale as athletic
director and coach of all UA sports. Although he was opposed to the hiring, Wilde announced McKale’s
appointment on June 2, 1914, at a salary of $1,700 per year.
Wilde’s successor, Rufus B. von KleinSmid, was not much more enthused with the benefits of collegiate
athletics, and records for 1915 show that McKale’s total appropriation to run his program amounted to $835!

Manuel Pacheco became the first Hispanic
president of the UA in 1991. When his eleven
brothers and sisters had all gotten their college
degrees, his mother enrolled and got a degree
also, earning a higher GPA than any of her
children.
Development of the “Hockney-Falco Thesis”
demonstrated that artists as early as Jan van Eyck
used optics to project images as aids for their most
iconic paintings — and the New York Times called
this one of the ten most important ideas of 2001.

It was a sensational 7-6 Arizona football victory
over Pomona College on Thanksgiving Day, November 6, 1914, that led to the building of the “A” on
Sentinel Peak, west of Tucson.
In what was doubtless a burst of enthusiastic pride
for his alma mater, Albert H. Condron, a member
of the 1914 team and a civil engineering student,
suggested to one of his professors that a class
assignment be made to survey Sentinel Peak for
the location of an “A”.

The site was cleared of shrubbery and cactus,
trenches dug to outline the letter’s foundations,
rock at hand was mixed with mortar and water
hauled up the mountain by six-horse teams. The total cost of materials, equipment, and transportation
was $397. The back-breaking work was done by the
students themselves, Saturday after Saturday, with
many difficulties and discouragements, but the
“A” was finally whitewashed on March 4, 1916. No
one called it Sentinel Peak anymore. It was known

The original wildcat mascot arrived on campus
October 17, 1915, and was introduced to the student
body the following day at assembly in Herring
Hall. He was the gift of the freshman football team
who had raised the funds ($9.91) to purchase him.
He was officially named “Rufus Arizona,” after UA
President Rufus B. von KleinSmid.
On April 17, 1916, Rufus died. The Arizona Wildcat

“... while endeavoring to perform gymnastic stunts
in the limbs of a tree to which he was tied, Rufus
Arizona ... fell and was hung.”
Note: never tie a feline to a tree. Rufus was memorialized in verse and a Wildcat editorial, which
noted that his “growls urged our team to victory”
and spoke of his “strength, alertness, tenacity – the
true Arizona spirit.” Rufus had several successors
in later years.

On January 31, 1920, the Memorial Fountain in front of Old Main was dedicated
amid a huge turnout of students, faculty, townspeople, and military who had
come to honor the University’s World War I dead and to greet the guest of honor, General John J. Pershing. General Pershing’s speech was brief and impressive,
following which the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon him
by President von KleinSmid.
Situated at the west entrance of Old Main, the Memorial Fountain,
honoring those UA students who lost their lives in World War I, was the
gift of Alexander Berger, an uncle of Alexander Tindolph Berger, one of
those to whose memory it is dedicated.

NASA was only two years old and little was known about the moon when astronomer Gerard Kuiper
boldly established a Lunar and Planetary Lab at the UA in 1960. But it paid off when the UA was the
one who assured NASA that it would be safe to land on the moon.

In October 1926, “Button” Salmon, one of the most
popular players on the football team and president of the Student Body, was critically injured in
an automobile accident on the Phoenix highway.
Shortly before his death on October 18, 1926, Athletic Director J. F. McKale visited him, and asked if
he had any message for the team. Whether truth
or legend, “Button” is reported to have said, “Tell
them … tell them to bear down”.
A year later, in December 1927, the men’s junior
honorary organization, Chain Gang, sponsored a
fund-raising dance to paint “Bear Down” on the
roof of the gymnasium. A professional sign painter
was hired to outline the letters, and the Chain
Gang members completed the job in early 1928.

During the 1920s and 30s the sport that first brought the

sport was established in 1922 with horses and a coach provided by the military, and with athletes from the school’s
ROTC unit. The first teams were the target of snide
remarks from football and basketball team members,

Calvin Coolidge a cowboy hat. They met Princeton for the

Without the financial and personnel support of

the University was unable to continue sponsoring

Since 1938, when it was declared unsafe, Old Main
had stood unused and locked up. One could only
walk around the lower area under the verandas.
There were various proposals and arguments for
its demolition but Superintendent of Buildings
and Grounds, Billy Bray — after making a survey
— said it would cost more to tear it down than to
let it stand.
It was, in the end, the U.S. Navy which kept Old
Main from sinking. In September 1942, the Navy
awarded a contract for the repair and rehabilitation of the UA’s most treasured building for use of
the wartime Naval Indoctrination School. The entire structure was refurbished at a cost of $89,000.

During World War II more than 11,000 men
trained at the University for services on
land, at sea and in the air. The largest group
(10,000) were those in the Naval Training
School.
The basketball hardwood floor was covered
with Masonite. Navy flags hung from the
rafters, and the indoctrinees’ personal luggage
was stored on the balcony seats.
Five hundred bunk beds took over Bear Down
gym.

Thousands of servicemen had trained at nearby
airfields and, remembering the sunlight and clear
skies, came “home” to Tucson — many accompanied
by wives and small children. There was no time to
construct additional dormitories to house the new
arrivals but the 114 two-family Quonset huts and the
5 TDUs (four families each) offered by the Federal

The year was 1885 and the mood was mean.
The cities and counties needed money and
the territorial legislature controlled the purse
strings. To make matters worse the members
of the 13th Territorial Legislature were known
to make decisions, often for less than ethical
reasons. They had earned the nickname, “The
Thieving Thirteenth.”

There were two major prizes to be won from the
legislature that year. Phoenix and Prescott came
out on top. Phoenix was given the asylum for
the insane and Prescott kept the state capital.
Tucson received an unwelcome consolation
prize of The University of Arizona, and with it, a
measly $25,000 appropriation, just one quarter
of the amount Phoenix received to build the
insane asylum.

C.C. Stevens was the man sent to Prescott to
win the state capital for Tucson. He came home
with what he hoped would be welcomed as good
news about the University. Instead of celebrating,
Tucson responded angrily. Some reports say the
people of Tucson greeted him with a shower of
ripe eggs, rotten vegetables, and a dead cat. Thus,
the very beginning for the University of Arizona
wasn’t all that proud.

One condition the legislature slapped on Tucson
was that the people of Pima County had to donate
40 acres to the University. The response was less
than overwhelming. No one offered an inch.
One man decided the time had come to take matters into his own hands. Jacob S. Mansfeld was a
member of the new Board of Regents. He took a
walk into the desert about a mile east of town and
picked out a site for the new university.

The UA’s first school colors were sage green and
silver — sage in reference to the indigenous sage
bush and silver symbolizing the state’s mining
industries. In 1898, an editorial in the school newspaper named declared, “We think those colors well
chosen, as they show originality and individuality.”
The November 1900 issue ran an editorial suggesting that the combination of sage green and silver
had “outgrown its usefulness.” The writer asserts
that school colors should produce a decorative

Wilma Wildcat was created when costume designers were attempting to make another costume for Wilbur
and instead created Wilma. She made her first appearance on March 1, 1986 on a blind date with Wilbur.

Memorial Center tower in memory of the 1,177 men who
lost their lives when the battleship was destroyed in the

then-U.S. Army Captain Wilber L. Bowers, Class of 1927,
discovered it.
He took immediate measures to prevent its destruction
and it was presented to the University in 1946. The
privilege of being the first to ring the bell in its present
location was properly reserved for “the man who saved
the bell” and on September 11, 2002, Bill Bowers, at age
99, did his job.

Homecoming celebrations are a UA tradition
dating back to 1920 and possibly earlier. Only
world war caused the University to suspend
Homecoming festivities in 1918 and from
1943-45.
Between 60,000 and 70,000 alumni attend
Homecoming which now includes more than
100 tents on the mall, with food, drink, fun and
of course, the Homecoming football game.
Beginning in 1949, the Homecoming parade
was held through the streets of downtown
Tucson. Now the parade circles the UA mall and
includes 50 student-built floats.

Fight! Wildcats! Fight!
Arizona’s first fight song was “Fight! Wildcats! Fight!” written in 1929 by Dugald Stanley Holsclaw, class of
’25. Holsclaw went on to serve in the State Legislature for many years.
“Fight! Wildcats! Fight!” was officially introduced by the UA band at the 1930 Homecoming game and was
also performed by Rudy Vallee and his orchestra over the NBC radio network that same year.

gymnasium.

the UA band performed “Bear Down, Arizona!”
in public for the first time. Soon thereafter,
“Bear Down, Arizona!” became accepted as
UA’s fight song.
Inspired, he began to scribble down the music

In 1914, Coach “Pop” McKale’s football team was
so successful that discussions began to honor
the team and the University by building a huge
“A” on Sentinel Peak, west of downtown Tucson.
Working Saturdays from November to March in
1916, students completed the 70’ by 160’ “A” of

The first band at the University of Arizona was
formed as a military unit in 1902 with 12 musicians.
Since 1913 (a year after Arizona became a state) the
UA has never been without a band. In 1951, women
were allowed to join the marching band.
In 1967, the UA band provided half-time entertainment for the inaugural Super Bowl. In 1977, the band
performed in President Carter’s inaugural parade.

When football teams from the University of Arizona and Arizona Territorial Normal School (now Arizona
State University) took the field on Thanksgiving Day in 1899, they never imagined that it would put
them in the NCAA record book more than 100 years later.
The trophy that was awarded to the winner that day (ASU) and still is given to the winner of this annual
football game, makes the Territorial Cup the “oldest trophy for a rivalry game in America.”

“Sustainable Architecture” wasn’t in anybody’s vocabulary when Old Main was completed in 1891. Yet the
deep roof overhangs, wrap around-verandas, and a ground floor that was partially recessed into the earth
kept the building cool long before air conditioning was invented.

While astronomer Roger Angel was walking across campus to his office in 1985, he looked up and
realized that he had finally discovered a space that was big enough to house his new lab for spinning
and polishing gigantic telescope mirrors: the space under the bleachers on the east side of the Arizona
football stadium.

In 1978, the UA left the Western Athletic Conference and
joined the PAC 10 which included universities such as Stanford and Berkeley, schools the UA considered its academic
peers. Then in the summer of 2010, the PAC 10 became PAC
12, and in spite of the additional competition, the UA shines.
