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.
Zain Ahmed
Emory College
Presented by Senior Vice President for Campus Life
John L. Ford
The winner of the 2008 Marion Luther Brittain Award
is Zain Ahmed, a senior in Emory College, who earned a BS in
neuroscience and behavioral biology (NBB) and also completed
the requirements for a BA in political science and chemistry.
In addition to his scholarly interests and pursuits, Ahmed is
a talented leader. He is the founder and editor-in-chief of the
Emory Undergraduate Research Journal. He is one of the founders of the umbrella group Emory Science Outreach, a studentrun service organization to engage the Emory community in
K–12 science education in Atlanta. Ahmed is also the founder
of Global Health, Education, and Economic Development
(HEED), a nonprofit organization that addresses issues related
to health, education, and economic development. HEED’s plans
are to build and start a maternal health care clinic in Calhuitz,
Guatemala.
Ahmed was a 2007 Emory Community Building and
Social Change Fellow where he worked with the Whitefoord
Community Program (WCP) in Edgewood to conduct a community assessment focusing on the community’s perceptions of the
WCP, the elementary schools in the community, and the changing needs of the gentrified neighborhood.
Ahmed has served as an Emergency Medical TechnicianIntermediate (EMT-I), an Ethics and Servant Leadership Scholar,
and a resident adviser, and he volunteered as a premed intern
for a four-week clinical internship in pulmonology in Pakistan.
Ahmed epitomizes engaged student scholarship at Emory
University.

Richard D. Freer
Robert Howell Hall Professor of Law
For twenty-five years, Professor Richard D. Freer has
guided Emory law students, inspired colleagues, and engaged
law makers with his charismatic teaching, high standards, and
extraordinary knowledge of civil procedure. After earning a BA
from the University of California, San Diego and a JD from the
University of California, Los Angeles, Freer clerked for federal
district and appellate judges. He joined the Emory faculty in
1983 after working for three years as an associate with the Los
Angeles law firm of Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher.
A nationally recognized scholar on civil procedure, Freer has
authored or coauthored eleven books, including a popular casebook on civil procedure and two volumes of Moore’s Federal
Practice, a multivolume treatise, and approximately thirty articles. When Congress passed the supplemental jurisdiction statute
in 1990, his scholarly critique provoked a national debate that
included the United States Supreme Court. Freer serves as an
adviser to the American Law Institute’s Federal Judicial Code
Project and is on the Advisory Board for LexisNexis Law School
Publishing.
Exemplifying the highest ideals of pedagogy, Freer’s demanding yet captivating teaching style has earned him the greatest respect from students. He has been named the “Most
Outstanding Professor” by the law students six times, selected
as “Professor of the Year” twice by the Black Law Students
Association, and awarded the Emory Williams University
Teaching Award. Freer has served as a visiting professor of law
at the Central European University in Budapest, Hungary, and at
the George Washington University Law School in Washington,
D.C. In addition to his teaching and scholarship, Freer has
served as vice provost for academic affairs as well as associate
dean and dean of faculty in the School of Law, enriching the
Emory community with his leadership.

Authorization to Confer Degrees
The conferring of degrees is authorized in formal session by the
Board of Trustees of Emory University on the recommendation of the president and the faculties. At today’s ceremony,
Chair Ben F. Johnson III symbolically will authorize President
Wagner to confer degrees upon the 2008 graduates, including
the recipients of honorary degrees.
Honorary Degrees
Mary Jane England
Educator, Visionary, Advocate
Doctor of Science
Mary Jane England is president of Regis College, her
alma mater.
Earning her medical degree from Boston University in 1964,
England launched an international career as a child psychiatrist.
She has served as the first commissioner of the Department of
Social Services in Massachusetts, associate dean and director
of the Lucius N. Littauer Master in Public Administration
Program at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at
Harvard University, president of the American Women’s Medical
Association and of the American Psychiatric Association, and
corporate CEO of Prudential and Washington Business Group
on Health.
An innovative educator, gifted leader, and powerful activist,
England has worked tirelessly to enhance mental health for all
Americans, particularly children, by underscoring the need for
family, neighborhood, and community-based medicine in the
delivery of mental health care and creative thinking in social
change. She was invited to become a member of the task force of
professional experts in the new Commission for the Protection
of Children in the troubled Archdiocese of Boston. She continues
to serve on the Board of Visitors of the Boston University School
of Medicine, on Rosalynn Carter’s Task Force on Mental Health,
and on the National Academies/IOM Board on Children and
Families.
Under England’s leadership, Regis College, a Catholic
women’s college, adopted a “case for growth” in 2006 that
allowed the college to go coed on the undergraduate level,
to develop a two-school model, and to expand the graduate
programs to serve the needs of the health care industry. Most
recently, in the wake of the Virginia Tech tragedy, England has
led national discussions about mental health and safety issues on
college campuses.
Ms. England will be presented by Dean of the Rollins School of
Public Health James W. Curran.
Ernest J. Gaines
Writer, Humanist, Teacher
Doctor of Humane Letters
Prolific author Ernest J. Gaines was born on January 15,
1933, on the River Lake Plantation in Oscar, a hamlet
in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, which is the Bayonne
of all his fictional work. Raised by his maternal aunt, Augusteen
Jefferson, who served as the principal role model for his bestknown character, Miss Jane Pittman, Gaines is the oldest of
twelve children. At the age of fifteen, he rejoined his mother and
stepfather in California to continue his education, since there
was not a high school he could attend in Pointe Coupee Parish,
and because it was against the law in Louisiana in the 1940s for
people of color to enter public libraries.
Offering understanding for readers of all colors, background,
and class, Ernest Gaines’s novels are set in the plantations of the
Deep South. Book critics at the Washington Post Book World,
Los Angeles Times, New York Times, and Time have credited
Gaines with “the ability to convey through his work the insidious effect of racism—without moralizing” and “the utter lack of
overwrought emotion with which questions of race relations are
treated.”
His novel A Lesson Before Dying (1993) has sold two millions
copies, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, and won the 1994
Best Fiction Award by the National Book Critics Circle. It was
the October 1997 choice of Oprah’s Book Club. Gaines’s other
works include The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman (1971),
whose TV-movie adaptation by CBS won nine Emmys; A Long
Day in November (1971); In My Father’s House (1978); and A
Gathering of Old Men (1983). He is also the author of the collection of stories and essays Mozart and Leadbelly (2005).
Gaines’s many honors include the National Humanities Medal,
the National Governor’s Association Award for Distinguished
Service in the Arts, the Louisiana Governor’s Award for Lifetime
Achievement, and the Louisiana Writers Award. He is writer-inresidence emeritus at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette.
Mr. Gaines will be presented by Dean of Emory College
Robert A. Paul.
Edward O. Wilson
Scientist, Scholar, Innovator
Doctor of Science
Edward O. Wilson was born in Birmingham, Alabama, in
1929. He received a BS and MS in biology from the University
of Alabama and, in 1955, a PhD in biology from Harvard
University, where he taught for four decades, receiving both of its
college-wide teaching awards. He is currently University Research
Professor Emeritus and Honorary Curator in Entomology of the
Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard.
He is the author of twenty-five books, two of which won
Pulitzer Prizes, Human Nature (1978) and The Ants (1990, with
Bert Hölldobler). He is the recipient of more than one hundred
other international medals and awards, including the National
Medal of Science; the International Prize for Biology from Japan;
the Catalonia Prize of Spain; the Presidential Medal of Italy; the
Crafoord Prize from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences,
given in fields of science not covered by the Nobel Prize; and, for
his conservation efforts, the Gold Medal of the Worldwide Fund
for Nature and the Audubon Medal of the National Audubon
Society.
Six of Wilson’s books compose two trilogies. The first trilogy—The Insect Societies, Sociobiology, and On Human Nature
(1971–1978)—first mapped the fields of sociobiology and
evolutionary psychology. The second trilogy—The Diversity of
Life, The Future of Life, and The Creation (1992–2006)—organized the base of modern biodiversity conservation. Wilson has
served on the boards of directors of the Nature Conservancy,
Conservation International, and the American Museum of
Natural History, and he gives many lectures throughout the
world. His best-known books include Consilience (1998), which
argues for the uniting of the natural sciences with the humanities.
Wilson will be the keynote speaker and participating in discussions at “The Future of Evolution” symposium at Emory
on October 23 and 24, 2008. This university-wide symposium,
organized by Emory’s Computational and Life Sciences Strategic
Initiative, will present the outstanding research of Emory faculty
in Darwinian evolution and explore how new understandings of
natural diversity and directed selection may transform our lives.
Mr. Wilson will be presented by Dean of the Graduate School
Lisa A. Tedesco.
Bernard Marcus
Entrepreneur, philanthropist, humanitarian
Doctor of Humane Letters
Successful business leader and distinguished
philanthropist Bernard Marcus was born in Newark,
New Jersey, in 1929. Marcus received a BS in pharmacy from
Rutgers University, but found his interests in home retail business. After several successful years of leading other home-good
retail stores, Marcus cofounded The Home Depot, the largest
home improvement retailer, where he served as chair of the
board until his retirement in 2002. He remains director emeritus
and Home Depot’s largest single stockholder.
A great Georgia citizen, Marcus has touched the lives of
many in the state and abroad. In addition to his 2005 building
of the Georgia Aquarium, the largest aquarium in the world,
Marcus’s civic contributions focus on Jewish causes, children,
medical research, free enterprise, and the community. The Israel
Democracy Institute, located in Jerusalem, serves as a nonpartisan and nonpolitical think tank addressing the complex issues
facing Israeli democratic society.
The Marcus Institute, founded with his wife Billi in 1991,
provides programs for children and adolescents with disorders of
the brain and support to their families. The institute began as the
Marcus Development Resource Center at Emory in 1991 as a
result of a generous donation to the Children’s Research Center
at Emory. Today, many of the institute’s professionals hold faculty appointments at Emory, and it is an approved site for the
Emory Pediatric Residence Program. Most recently, Marcus
donated funds to pay for the medical costs for recent war veter-
ans who have stopped receiving government funding for care at
Atlanta’s Shepherd Center clinic for brain and spinal injury.
Marcus serves in numerous leadership roles including
the Shepherd Center, the City of Hope, the Marcus Jewish
Community Center, and Business Executives for National
Security. His excellence in leadership and business have been
recognized with many awards, including induction into the
Junior Achievement U.S. Business Hall of Fame, the Jewish
Federation of Greater Atlanta’s Lifetime of Achievement Award,
the Golden Plate Award from the Academy of Achievement at
the International Achievement Summit, and the Anti-Defamation
League’s America’s Democratic Legacy Award.
Mr. Marcus will be presented by Dean of the School of
Medicine Thomas J. Lawley.

Emory College 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 and Oxford Colleges (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
Graduate School (1919), and Rollins School of Public Health
(1990).
The intent of the founders is perpetuated by the recently
adopted vision statement of the University: 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 of Commencement at Emory
This is Emory’s 163rd 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 philosophy. 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 black 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;
drab, business administration; scarlet, theology; salmon, public
health; and dark blue, doctors of philosophy.
The hood is lined with silk in the colors of the degreegranting institution. For Emory graduates the lining is blue
with a chevron of gold. Most faculty wear doctors’ hoods, and
some of the colors seen today are included in the following list:
Blue and Gold. .......................................................... Emory
Black and Old Gold. ...................................... Johns Hopkins

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.
The chief marshal and eleven 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 University mace is carried in the procession by the
immediate past president of the Student Government Associa
tion. 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 DVS, 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 spring 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 sculpted 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 the 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.
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 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 1898C
1902M 1942H. 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.
