Presentation of the Marion Luther
Brittain Service Award
This award, symbolic of all honors bestowed on students
by the university, is an expression of gratitude for service
performed without expectation of reward or recognition. The
award was established at Emory in 1942 through a bequest
from a distinguished Emory alumnus, former President Brittain
of the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Evan Clayton Dunn 10OX 12C
Evan Clayton Dunn, a senior in Emory College of Arts
and Sciences, is the 2012 Marion Luther Brittain Award winner.
Dunn is a candidate for a bachelor of arts in both political science and history.
Dunn began his studies at Oxford College and spent more
than nine hundred hours volunteering with Hands on Newton,
the International Rescue Committee, the Peer Assistant Leader
program, and the Bonner Leader Program. He received the
Sammy Clark Scholarship for Community Service and the Virgil
Eady Sophomore Service Award for his extraordinary commitment to leadership and service.
After transitioning to the Atlanta campus, Dunn began working with Volunteer Emory, serving as an orientation leader, and
starting a GED tutoring program in Clarkston, Georgia. Dunn
also developed a particular interest in reforming the Emory
College Honor Council. He became president of Academic
Reforms and chair of the Committee for Academic Integrity. He
was instrumental in adding a faculty vote in the revised Honor
Council process and was awarded the Lancaster Honor Council
Academic Integrity Award.
In recognition of his many accomplishments, Dunn was
selected to be a member of both the 100 Senior Honorary
Class of 2012 and Who’s Who Among American Colleges and
Universities.
Presentation of the
University Scholar/Teacher Award
Chosen by the university president from nominations by the
deans on behalf of the United Methodist Church Board of
Higher Education and Ministry.
Sarah B. Freeman
Betty Tigner Turner Clinical Professor of Nursing
Affiliate Faculty, Emory University Center for Ethics
4 Emory University Commencement 2012
As a nurse practitioner for more than thirty-five years
and a nationally recognized expert in women’s health and
chronic disease management, Sarah Freeman has had a powerful
and lasting impact on her field. She is a prolific researcher and
writer; serves on editorial boards of leading nursing journals; sits
on the boards of national organizations, such as the National
Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women’s Health (NPWH);
and has been elected as a fellow of the American Academy of
Nurse Practitioners and to Who’s Who in American Nursing.
Currently, Freeman is the director of both the Women’s
Health Nurse Practitioner Program and the combined Women’s
Health and Adult Health Nurse Practitioner Program at the Nell
Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing. Furthermore, she teaches
bioethics in both the MSN and PhD programs at Emory.
Throughout her career, Freeman has been a tireless advocate for nurse practitioner education. She has been extensively
involved in the development of innovative strategies for training
nurse practitioners, and she was a central figure in the establishment of criteria for accreditation of the women’s health nurse
practitioner programs.
In addition to garnering national acclaim for her leadership,
Freeman has been recognized for her outstanding contributions as an instructor and mentor. On the national level, she
was awarded the School of Nursing’s “Nurse Practitioner of
the Year in Education and Research” in 1991 and the Wysocki
National Leadership Award in Women’s Health in 2007. At
Emory, Freeman has been recognized in a variety of ways: as the
Teaching Scholar for the School of Nursing in 1996–1997, as a
fellow in the Woodruff Leadership Academy of Emory’s Health
Sciences Center in 2005, as a recipient of the Emory Williams
Distinguished Teaching Award in 2008, and most recently as
a Distinguished Teaching Scholar in Nursing by the Center for
Faculty Development and Excellence in 2009–2010.
Freeman received a BS in nursing from Georgia State
University; she received a master’s degree in community health
nursing and completed the family nurse practitioner program of
Arizona State University; and she received a PhD in education
from Georgia State University. Her commitment to excellence—
as an educator, a clinician, and a researcher—makes her a superb
candidate to receive this award.
Presentation
of the
Thomas Jefferson Award
Awarded each year to a faculty member or administrative
officer for significant service to the university through personal
activities, influence, and leadership.
Peggy Barlett
Goodrich C. White Professor of Anthropology
Faculty Liaison to the Office of Sustainability Initiatives
Professor Peggy Barlett began her academic career in
the field—literally. While working on a BA in anthropology at
Grinnell College, she embarked on an undergraduate research
project with peasant farmers in Costa Rica. Later, her doctoral
research at Columbia University took her back to Costa Rica;
subsequent projects led her to Ecuador and, eventually, to rural
Georgia. Her career has been defined by an abiding interest in
farmer decision making, rural social change, agricultural systems,
and sustainable development.
Her most recent professional projects have occurred much
closer to home. In 1999, Barlett’s work underwent a major
shift as she moved from examining agrarian change through
conventional research, and turned her focus towards “Emory as
a hands-on arena of cultural transformation.” She became an
essential voice for sustainability efforts on campus and served
as the founding coordinator of the Ad Hoc Committee on
Environmental Stewardship.
Over the years, Barlett has dedicated herself to expanding
awareness of environmental issues through curriculum
development (e.g., the Piedmont Project), campus policies, and
community building. Focusing her interests in local food systems,
she continues to serve as the chair of the Sustainable Food
Committee, administered through the Office of Sustainability
Initiatives at Emory (an office largely created in response to her
environmental leadership). Outside Emory, Barlett is involved in a
local watershed alliance and the Atlanta Local Food Initiative.
Barlett has published several books reflecting her
anthropological work, including Agricultural Choice and
Change: Decision Making in a Costa Rican Community and
American Dreams, Rural Realities: Family Farms in Crisis,
and she has served as editor of Agricultural Decision Making:
Anthropological Contributions to Rural Development. She is also
the coeditor (with Geoffrey Chase) of Sustainability on Campus:
Stories and Strategies for Change and is editor of Urban Place:
Reconnecting with the Natural World.
The university’s reputation as a national leader in campus
sustainability is a direct result of Barlett’s persistence,
commitment, and hard work. Through her expertise as an
anthropologist and her passion for place-based pedagogy, Barlett
has helped to transform Emory, and in doing so, has made major
contributions to higher education and the world we inhabit.

Camille Billops
Sculptor, Printmaker, Writer, and Filmmaker
Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa
Beginning her career as a sculptor and printmaker,
Camille Billops has extended her artistic reach to include writing, publishing, and filmmaking.
In 1975, together with her husband James V. Hatch, Billops
founded the renowned Hatch-Billops Collection, an archive of
African American cultural materials that they have donated
to the Robert W. Woodruff Library at Emory. This collection
includes interviews with nearly fourteen hundred minority artists of all disciplines. Billops and Hatch have published 473 of
these artists’ lives and descriptions of their work in thirty annual
volumes of Artist and Influence. In conjunction with Randall
Burkett, the curator of African American collections at Emory,
they have established an endowment fund to assure that the
collection will continue to grow in the future.
Billops has exhibited her art throughout the world. She wrote
and published The Harlem Book of the Dead, featuring the
poetry of Owen Dodson and the photography of James Van
Der Zee, with an introduction by Toni Morrison. Billops earned
a BA from California State University and an MFA from City
College of New York. She has received grants from the New
York State Council on the Arts, the National Endowment for
the Arts, the Rockefeller Fellowship in Filmmaking, and the
Skowhegan Award for contribution in the arts. Billops, with
her husband, has produced and directed six documentary films,
including Suzanne Suzanne, chosen by the Museum of Modern
Art for its New Directors Series in 1983; Finding Christa, winner
of the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival in 1992; and

Fletcher Award for Outstanding Achievement in Black Theatre,
the Life Achievement Award from the Association for Theatre in
Higher Education, an Obie Award for the Civil Rights musical
Fly Blackbird, and a second Obie for his contributions to offBroadway theatre. Hatch and Errol G. Hill co-wrote A History

School of Graduate Studies Lisa A. Tedesco.
Muhammad Yunus
Chairman, Yunus Centre
Doctor of Letters, honoris causa
Muhammad Yunus established the Grameen Bank in
Bangladesh in 1983, spurred by a vision for lifting people out of
poverty. His objective was to create a new category of banking
that would grant millions of small loans to poor people with no
collateral. This endeavor helped to establish the microcredit movement across the developing world, for which he was awarded
the Nobel Prize in 2006. That year, Yunus established the Yunus
Centre as an economic policy resource center to disseminate his
philosophy and practices.
From Yunus’s personal loan of small amounts of money to
destitute basket weavers in Bangladesh in the mid-1970s, the
Grameen Bank has advanced to the fore of a burgeoning world
movement toward eradicating poverty through microlending.
Replicas of the Grameen Bank model operate in more than one
hundred countries worldwide.
Born in 1940 in the seaport city of Chittagong, Yunus studied at Dhaka University in what was then East Pakistan, now
Bangladesh. He received a Fulbright scholarship to study economics at Vanderbilt University, where he received a PhD in economics in 1969. The following year he became an assistant professor
of economics at Middle Tennessee State University. Returning to
Bangladesh after it achieved independence in 1971, Yunus headed
the economics department at Chittagong University.
Yunus has been a member of the International Advisory Group
for the Fourth World Conference on Women, a post to which he
was appointed by the United Nations secretary general, and he
has served on the Global Commission of Women’s Health, the
Advisory Council for Sustainable Economic Development, and the
United Nations Expert Group on Women and Finance.
Yunus is the recipient of numerous international awards for
his ideas and endeavors, including the Nobel Peace Prize. He is a
member of the board of the United Nations Foundation.
Dr. Yunus will be presented by Dean of Goizueta Business
School Lawrence M. Benveniste.
Benjamin S. Carson Sr.
Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery,
The Johns Hopkins University Children’s Center
Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa
Benjamin S. Carson Sr. had a childhood dream of
becoming a physician, but he grew up facing challenges of
poverty, poor schools, and low self-esteem. His mother, though
lacking a high school diploma herself, instilled in her sons a
striving for excellence and a determination to learn. Carson persevered and was admitted to Yale University, where he majored
in psychology before going on to graduate from the University
of Michigan School of Medicine. He completed both his internship in general surgery and residency in neurological surgery at
the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Today he is a full professor of neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics
at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and he has directed
pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center
for more than a quarter of a century. In May 2008 he became
the inaugural recipient of a professorship dedicated in his name,
and he is now the Benjamin S. Carson Sr., MD, and Dr. Evelyn
Spiro, RN, Professor of Pediatric Neurosurgery. His achievements
include the first separation of craniopagus twins conjoined at the
back of the head, the first completely successful separation of
type-2 vertical craniopagus twins, and the first successful placement of an intrauterine shunt for a hydrocephalic twin. He is the
author of five books including the recently published America
the Beautiful: Rediscovering What Made This Nation Great. He
is a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society,
the Horatio Alger Society of Distinguished Americans, and many
other prestigious organizations. He sits on the board of directors
of numerous organizations, and he is an Emeritus Fellow of the
Yale Corporation, the governing body of Yale University. He was
appointed in 2004 by President George W. Bush to serve on the
President’s Council on Bioethics.
In 2001, Carson was named by CNN and Time magazine as
one of the nation’s twenty foremost physicians and scientists.
That same year, he was selected by the Library of Congress as
one of eighty-nine “Living Legends” on the occasion of its two
hundredth anniversary. He is the recipient of the 2006 Spingarn
Medal, the highest honor bestowed by the NAACP. In June 2008,
he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President
George W. Bush.
Dr. Carson will be presented by Dean of the School of
Medicine Thomas J. Lawley.

A Commentary on Commencement
E mory C ollege of A rts and S ciences originated from
a concern for higher education in a Christian setting on the part
of the Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Chartered in 1836 in Oxford, Georgia, the college was named
after John Emory (1789–1835), bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. In 1964 the college at Oxford was named Oxford College
of Emory University.
Emory College became Emory University by virtue of a charter
granted by the Superior Court of DeKalb County on January 25,
1915. Although classes on the Atlanta campus were begun in the
schools of law and theology as early as 1916, the college did not
move to Atlanta until 1919. The university now includes nine
schools, most tracing their origins to years before the chartering of
the university itself. These schools are Emory College and Oxford
College (1836), the School of Medicine (1854), Nell Hodgson
Woodruff School of Nursing (1905), Candler School of Theology
(1914), the School of Law (1916), Roberto C. Goizueta Business
School (1919), the James T. Laney School of Graduate Studies
(1919), and Rollins School of Public Health (1990).
The intent of the founders is perpetuated by the university’s
vision statement: A destination university internationally recognized as an inquiry-driven, ethically engaged, and diverse community, whose members work collaboratively for positive transformation in the world through courageous leadership in teaching,
research, scholarship, health care, and social action.
A Short History
on
Commencement
at
Emory
This is Emory’s 167th commencement. The exercises witnessed
today represent an imposition of medieval academic tradition on
an institution that had its roots in the nineteenth-century frontier.
The first Emory commencement was held in 1840, four years after
Emory College had been chartered and two years after the college’s
first classes. That first ceremony, however, was without graduating
students, as there were no graduates until the following year. Then,
as now, sermons and addresses had a central focus in the exercises,
though rarely have these addresses been so crucial as in 1849,
when all fifteen members of the graduating class were assigned
speaking places and spoke for as long as half an hour each.
Early commencement audiences sat for up to four hours in the
midsummer heat to listen to the numerous student and faculty
orations on such topics as “Our Government Unfavorable to
High Attainment in Literature,” “Social Equality,” and “Modern
Refinements.” These addresses in the early days were in English,
contrary to the practice at many other institutions. As President A.
B. Longstreet argued in 1842, speeches in Latin and Greek were
“worthy of the name pedantry, and nothing more.” In spite of this
advice, several later generations of students instructed their audiences in the ancient tongues.

Academic Dress
and
Customs
Academic dress goes back to the founding of European universities, which were the products of the intellectual revival of the
twelfth century. All medieval students were clerks and consequently wore the dress of clergy. This is the academic costume we wear
today, with certain changes introduced in the sixteenth century by
Protestant reformers. The oldest articles of academic wear were
the robe, over which was worn the habit, usually a kind of tunic
with short, wide sleeves. The medieval hood was lined with fur
or inexpensive skins and could be gathered around the neck or
pulled up on the head as a turban. There were four kinds of caps:
the round cap, reserved for doctoral dignity; the tena, a round cap
with strings tied under the chin, worn by jurists; the square cap;
and the Tudor bonnet. At Oxford University in 1565 the square
cap became the norm, but the faculties that had become laicized
adopted the Tudor bonnet. This is still worn by doctors of law,
medicine, and music. It is uncertain when different colors became
associated with different degrees.
The basic design of all academic costume in the United States
was first established in 1895 and was first used at Emory by the
Class of 1902. The bachelor’s gown is without ornamentation
and has long, pointed, open sleeves. The master’s gown has longer
sleeves, which are closed at the bottom with openings about midway for the hands. The doctor’s gown has full-length lapels
of velvet and bell-shaped sleeves with three horizontal velvet bars.
Tassels for bachelors and masters are black; tassels of gold thread
may be worn by doctors. Gowns and caps are usually black,
although Emory and some other schools have specified that
their doctors may wear gowns of distinctive colors. Yale’s deep
blue doctoral gown, Harvard’s crimson, Columbia’s dark blue,
and Emory’s blue and gold are a few that may be seen in
the procession.
The hood varies for the respective degrees, the doctor’s
hood being longer and fuller than the others. The field of
study can be determined from the velvet facing on the hood
according to the following color scheme: white, the arts; goldyellow, science; purple, law; apricot, nursing; green, medicine;
scarlet, theology; salmon, public health; and dark blue, doctors of
philosophy.
The hood is lined with silk in the colors of the degree-granting
institution. For Emory graduates the lining is blue with a chevron
of gold.
The president of Emory University wears a badge of office
given to the university in 1965 by the Emory chapter, Gamma
of Georgia, of Phi Beta Kappa. Designed by Eric Clements of
Birmingham, England, and executed by the Worshipful Company
of Goldsmiths in London, the solid gold badge is an open teardrop
enclosing the raised seal of the university and is suspended on a
gold chain.
Emory University Commencement 2012 49
A Commentary on Commencement
The chief marshal and fourteen deputy marshals lead the
academic procession. The faculty marshals and the secretary
of the university jointly manage the forming of the procession, the
seating of commencement participants, and the planning of other
aspects of commencement exercises. Marshals are identified by
their unique blue tunics, which are sleeveless and lined with gold.
The Quadrangle stage with blue canopy was named the
University Marshals’ Stage in honor of the dedication and service
provided by Emory’s chief marshals throughout history.
The university mace is carried in the procession by the immediate past president of the Student Government Associa­tion.
Academically the mace is the symbol of a university as a corporate
body of scholars possessing its own jurisdiction and its own legally
constituted authority. Traditionally the mace is borne in procession
immediately before the chief officer of a university and is placed
before him or her during formal academic ceremonies.
The mace of Emory University, a gift from D.V.S., an Emory
College senior honor society, was designed by Eric Clements
and executed in silver and gold by the Worshipful Company of
Goldsmiths. In the teardrop at the apex of the mace, against a
background of oxidized silver, is a freestanding representation in
gold of a human skeleton. This is Dooley, the “spirit” of Emory,
who traditionally “rises” once each fall and for a week rules
campus. Immediately below the skeleton, in an open teardrop, is
a gold sphere divided (by stippling) into eight segments. Topping
the sphere is a simple cross, symbolizing the relationship of Emory
University to the Methodist church. The seal of the university is
sculptured in gold within the circular base.
Before each school in the procession, the school’s student marshal carries its gonfalon, a banner in the color associated with the
respective school’s degree: medicine, green; public health, salmon;
nursing, apricot; theology, scarlet; law, purple; and business, khaki.
The gonfalon of the graduate school is gold representing Emory’s
gold, and the gonfalons of Emory College and Oxford College represent Emory’s blue.
Emory Alumni Legacy Medallion
Graduating students who have a parent, grandparent, and/or
sibling who is also an Emory graduate are wearing specially commissioned medallions hanging from blue and gold ribbons. The
medallions are expressions of the university’s gratitude to those
families who have chosen to continue the Emory education tradition throughout the generations.
50 Emory University Commencement 2012
The Commencement Setting
Spectators on the Quadrangle are seated facing Pitts Theology
Library, one of the two oldest buildings on the Atlanta campus. Designed by the distinguished Pittsburgh architect Henry
Hornbostel (1867–1961), Pitts Theology Library was the original
theology building in 1916. It was renovated in 1975 by architect
Paul Rudolph to house the expanded library collection of Candler
School of Theology.
Directly behind the spectators are Carlos Hall, the other original
campus building, and the expanded Michael C. Carlos Museum.
Formerly home to the School of Law, Carlos Hall was renovated in
1986 according to a design by Michael Graves to house the museum and the Department of Art History. The museum is named for
the philanthropist who donated most of the cost of the facility.
It was designed to maintain the classic symmetry and proportion
of the surrounding buildings, which are listed on the National
Register of Historic Places.
Bowden Hall, east of the museum, was constructed in 1951
in the same style as the original campus buildings. Originally
the History Building, it was renamed in 1991 in honor of the
late Henry L. Bowden, former chair of the Board of Trustees of
Emory University. To the southeast of Bowden Hall is the Center
for Library and Information Resources. The center joins the tall,
red-tile-crowned Robert W. Woodruff Library and is linked to
the Asa Griggs Candler Memorial Library at the east end of the
Quadrangle. Candler Library was dedicated in 1926 in honor of
the man who donated the land for the campus and who provided
the university with strong leadership in its early years.
Next to Pitts Library is the Loula Walker and Ely Reeves
Callaway Sr. Memorial Center. Thanks to a generous gift from
alumnus Ely R. Callaway Jr. in honor of his parents, this center
joins the former Humanities Building with the original Physics
Building, which was constructed in 1919.
At the west end of the Quadrangle is the Administration
Building (1955), a gift of Charles Howard Candler. Like his
father, Asa, Charles chaired the Board of Trustees for many years.
Between the Administration Building and Pitts Library sits the
more modern White Hall, the main classroom building of Emory
College. Above the trees of the north side of the Quadrangle are
the curved red roof of the William R. Cannon Chapel—designed
by Paul Rudolph and dedicated in 1981—and the towers of Emory
University Hospital to the east.
