The Latin text quoted on the preceding page has introduced Bowdoin’s
Commencement Program since August 21, 1822. The names of
the twenty-four graduates of the Class of 1822 were, for the most
part, also translated into Latin for the program. In the early years of
the College, each graduating senior was required to deliver a
Commencement “part,” an oration on ancient or modern topics,
which was frequently given in one of the classical languages, Latin,
Greek, or Hebrew. The final Latin oration was given in 1893, but
the tradition of Latin survives in the language used to dedicate the
Commencement Exercises and to confer the bachelor of arts degree.
The translation below was provided by Jennifer Clarke Kosak,
Associate Professor of Classics.
May it be good, felicitous, and well-omened:*
To Paul LePage, esteemed Governor;
to the Representatives and Senators
who personally preside over the arts and letters for
the State of Maine;
and to the honorable and respected Trustees of
Bowdoin College;
to Clayton Rose, distinguished President;
to the entire academic senate; to the venerable
religious leaders;
This ancient formula is used by the President
in conferring degrees:
Candidati pro gradu baccalaureali, assurgite.
Femina honoranda, hosce iuvenes, quos censeo idoneos primum ad
gradum in artibus, nunc tibi offero, ut a te instructus, eos ad gradum
istum admittam. Placetne? (Placet.)
Pro auctoritate mihi commissa, admitto vos ad primum gradum in
artibus, et dono et concedo omnia iura, privilegia, honores atque
dignitates, ad gradum istum pertinentia.
In cuius testimonium hasce membranas litteris scriptas accipite.
Candidates for the Baccalaureate degrees will rise.
(To the Chair of the Board of Trustees)
Honored madam, these young people whom I deem
worthy of the first degree in Arts, I now present to you,
that, if you so direct, I may admit them to that degree.
Is such your will? (It is.)
(To the Candidates)
By virtue of the authority vested in me, I now admit
you to the first degree in Arts and do grant and confer
upon you all the rights, privileges, honors, and
dignities pertaining to that degree.
In witness whereof, receive these diplomas.
in short, to all patrons of the human race everywhere,
the young people hereby initiated into the arts
and letters
most humbly dedicate these exercises.
Held in a gathering of Bowdoin College, in Brunswick,
in the State of Maine,
on the fifth day before the Kalends of June, in the
2016th year of our well-being
and in the 240th year of the authority of the
United States of America.
* An ancient Roman formula used at the outset of a ritual
to ensure its success.
NOTE: The Baccalaureate degrees are awarded individually, and the
graduating class requests that there be no applause until the last degree
is conferred.
At the Commencement Exercises, Bowdoin displays the College
flag and the flags of the United States of America, the State of
Maine, and the home or dual-citizenship countries or territories
of graduating students—in 2016, Australia, Brazil, Canada,
Chile, People’s Republic of China, Colombia, Ecuador, Estonia,
France, Germany, Hong Kong SAR, India, Ireland, Italy,
Japan, Kenya, Latvia, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal, Netherlands,
Panama, Peru, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Serbia, Somalia,

HONORANDS OF THE 2016 COMMENCEMENT
DOROTHEA ROCKBURNE, Doctor of Fine Arts (DFA)
Dorothea Rockburne is a painter, mixed media, and installation artist who brings to her art a deep
understanding of mathematics and astronomy. Born in Montréal, Quebec, in 1932, she received classical
training in art at the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris, France, and at the Montréal Museum School. At Black
Mountain College in Asheville, North Carolina, she studied painting, music, dance, mathematics, theater,
linguistics, philosophy, literature, writing, poetry, and photography. In 1970, Rockburne produced her
“Set Theory” installations, inspired by the relationships between mathematics and the way a body moves
through space. In the early 1990s, Rockburne began to study astronomy and frescoes, combining these
interests to create a major fresco secco for SONY headquarters in New York City titled Northern Sky, Southern
Sky. Her many awards and honors include a Guggenheim Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts
award, the Witowsky Prize for Painting, and participation at the 1980 Venice Biennale. She is the recipient
of Lifetime Achievement awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the National
Academy Museum and School of Fine Arts and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters,
the National Academy of Design, and the Century Association.
FRANK SHORTER, Doctor of Humane Letters (LHD)
Frank Shorter is an American long-distance runner whose gold-medal win in the marathon at the 1972
Summer Olympics is credited with igniting the running boom in the United States of the 1970s. Born
in Munich, Germany, Shorter grew up in Middletown, New York. After graduating from the Northfield
Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts, Shorter earned his BA from Yale University and his JD from
the University of Florida College of Law. An extraordinary distance runner, Shorter won the US national
cross-country championships four times, the 10,000-meter and marathon at the Pan American Games,
and the Fukuoka marathon four times. He joined the members of the US Olympic Track and Field team
at Bowdoin in July of 1972 to train at the all-weather track that had been installed at Whittier Field a year
earlier. He was the US Olympic Trials Champion in the 10,000-meter run and the marathon in both
1972 and 1976, and he won gold in the marathon at the 1972 Summer Olympic Games in Munich and
silver in Montreal in 1976. Through his role as the first head of the US Anti-Doping Agency, Shorter
remains one of the most influential figures in running today.
18
PETER M. SMALL ’64, P’97, P’99, Doctor of Humane Letters (LHD)
Peter M. Small ’64 has an extraordinary record of service to Bowdoin College that spans nearly thirty years.
Born in Glenridge, New Jersey, in 1942, Small served in the US Coast Guard after his graduation in 1964.
He entered the field of real estate and established himself as a leader at the national real estate development
firm of Spaulding & Slye Company, where he served as president, chairman, and CEO. He served on
the governing boards of the College under three presidents, was elected an overseer in 1988 and a trustee
in 1996, and served as chair of the Board from 2005–2010. Peter’s service on trustee committees tracks
important changes at Bowdoin, from the implementation of investment strategies to the construction and
renovation of facilities, from the creation of a new residential life program to expansion of the student
body and faculty; and from growth in annual giving programs to the completion of successful capital
campaigns. Five generations of Small’s family have attended Bowdoin, including a son, Benjamin, and a
daughter, Elizabeth. A member of the 2014–15 Presidential Search Committee, Small established the Peter
Metcalf Small Scholarship Fund at Bowdoin in 1986 and the Peter M. Small Professorship in 2007.
DARREN WALKER, Doctor of Humane Letters (LHD)
Darren Walker followed a remarkable career and personal journey to become president of the Ford
Foundation. Born in Louisiana and raised by a single mother in Texas, he graduated from the University
of Texas in 1982 with a BA in government and a BS in speech communication. He earned a JD at the
University of Texas School of Law in 1986 and began working at the law firm Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen &
Hamilton. In 1988, he joined Union Bank of Switzerland and spent seven years in its capital markets
division. In 1995, he left the corporate world and volunteered for a year in a school in Harlem. He went on
to become CEO at the Harlem-based Abyssinian Development Corporation, which created the first public
school in New York City built by a community organization. From 2002–2010, he was vice president for
foundation initiatives at the Rockefeller Foundation; in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, he led a recovery
program for the Foundation. He joined the Ford Foundation in 2010 and was named president in 2013.
He is a fellow of the Institute of Urban Design, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and serves
on many boards, including the Arcus Foundation, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, and the New York
City Ballet.

ACADEMIC APPAREL
The formal academic attire that distinguishes faculty
and graduates at academic ceremonies is a symbol at
once vertical and horizontal. It stretches back into
history, to the roots of academic institutions, while
at the same time it forms a bond of union among
contemporary academic scholars.
The gown, cap, and hood, which would certainly seem
quaint today if worn on our city streets, were originally
the ordinary apparel of our medieval ancestors. The
gowns varied in elegance according to the rank and
wealth of the owners, and the hood had the practical
function of being pulled over the head for warmth.
Many of the medieval universities had strict rules on
the subject; at Oxford, for example, the master of
arts had to swear that he owned the dress prescribed
for his degree and that he would wear it on all proper
occasions. Undergraduates were required to wear their
gowns whenever they appeared in the public street.
After the sixteenth century in Europe different styles
prevailed, but the older style was retained for certain
legal, official, clerical, and, especially, academic uses.
In America the gown has been used to some extent
since colonial times. It was only in the late nineteenth
century, however, that widespread interest—sparked
perhaps by the observance in 1886 of the 250th
anniversary of the founding of Harvard—brought
about several developments. In 1887 an enterprising
member of the graduating class of Williams College
designed academic gowns for the graduates to wear
at the Commencement ceremony. The garb was
significant and dignified; it was both traditional and
democratic; it answered a need, and it quickly became
popular. In 1895 an intercollegiate code, standardizing
the design and the color of each part of the academic
regalia, was accepted by nearly all American colleges
and universities.
The gown is usually black, and the cut of the sleeves
differs for bachelors, masters, and doctors. In addition,
the doctor’s gown has panels of velvet (usually black)
down the front and on the sleeves.
The cap is generally black, with a tassel, which is either
black or the color of the field of study; a doctor’s may
be gold. The most common style of cap is the Oxford
“mortar board,” with a square flat top, but some
variations are permitted.
The hood is the most distinctive part of the costume.
It is made of black and trimmed with velvet. Both the
length of the hood and the width of the trim vary with
the level of the degree, the doctor’s being the longest
and having the widest velvet border. The color of the
velvet indicates the field of study in which the degree
is earned: for example, white for arts and letters
(bachelor of arts), dark blue for philosophy, brown
for fine arts, golden yellow for science, scarlet for
theology. The lining of the hood is the color and style
of the university that confers the degree; these are all
specified in the standard code of the American Council
on Education. Bowdoin College’s lining is white and
green to symbolize the Bowdoin pines.
Whatever the degree or university, those who don
the gown and hood symbolically take their places in
the long procession of scholars who have pursued
truth and learning and passed it on to others. The
consciousness of that fellowship is at once a reward for
past efforts and an inspiration for the future.

RAISE SONGS TO BOWDOIN
Words by K. C. M. Sills, Class of 1901
New Lyrics by Anthony Antolini ’63
Music by C. T. Burnett
Arranged by Thornton W. Allen
Raise songs to Bowdoin, praise her fame,
And sound abroad her glorious name;
To Bowdoin, Bowdoin lift your song,
And may the music echo long
O’er whispering pines and campus fair
With sturdy might filling the air.
Bowdoin, from birth, our nurturer and friend
To thee we pledge our love again, again.
While now amid thy halls we stay
And breathe thy spirit day by day,
Oh may we thus full worthy be
To march in that proud company
Of poets, leaders and each one
Who brings thee fame by deeds well done.
Bowdoin, from birth, our nurturer and friend
To thee we pledge our love again, again.
