ROLLE Doctor of Public Service, honoris causa Presented by Trustee Henry D. Mercer, III ’87 Rhodes scholar and former NFL player Myron Rolle was known as a powerful competitor on the field, and he is widely recognized for his academic achievements off the field. Currently attending medical school, Rolle is also becoming a well-known force for change in both the worlds of philanthropy and public health. Rolle, a former safety with the Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers, entered the National Football League (NFL) as a sixth round draft pick after taking a year to study at Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar. Rolle is one of only three people to have received both a Rhodes scholarship and an NFL contract. He is a member of the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics and serves on the Board of Trustees at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia. Now a second-year medical student at Florida State University College of Medicine, Rolle is the founder of Our Way to Health, an educational childhood anti-obesity program for Native Americans that began with the Seminole tribe of Florida and later expanded into Bureau of Indian Education-funded schools in New Mexico and Arizona. In conjunction with the Florida Department of Children and Family Services, Rolle runs a week-long Wellness and Leadership Academy for children in foster care. He is also the co-founder of the Emerging Scholars Project—a program to help under-represented college students become viable candidates for national fellowship opportunities. As an undergraduate student, Rolle earned Associated Press 3rd team All-American honors as well as Football Writers Association America 2nd team All-ACC and CoSIDA Academic All-America recognition. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Exercise Science from Florida State University, a Master of Arts in Public Administration from Florida State University, and a Master of Science in Medical Anthropology from Oxford University. Raised in Galloway, New Jersey, Rolle attended high school at the Hun School of Princeton where he graduated with a 4.0 GPA and was ranked by ESPN as the number one football prospect in the country. Inspired to dream big and think big, Rolle believes by practicing medicine he will be able to impact and heal people over the course of his lifetime. While it was a “difficult decision to move away from football,” Rolle said, and at times he does miss the excitement of the NFL, he believes that he has a different purpose now. According to Rolle, that purpose is to dedicate himself to the support of health, wellness, and education for children and families in need. Rolle, whose goal is to be a neurosurgeon, said playing football gifted him with a platform to become a game changer. And while his game today is not played out on a field, Rolle said his experience in the world of football helped give him the order, the structure, and the confidence necessary to inspire lasting change in others. 4 UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE CANDIDATES FOR DEGREE JANUARY 16, 2015 Note: Degrees awarded with honors are listed on the insert.

The history of academic dress reaches far back into the earliest days of the oldest universities. A statute of 1321 required that all “Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors” of the University of Coimbra wear gowns. In England, in the second half of the fourteenth century, the statutes of certain colleges prescribed the wearing of a long gown. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in Europe, the wearing of a robe often signified a degree candidate’s political or religious affiliation; in the northern universities and those of the British Isles, the robes signified that tuition and boarding fees of the wearer had been paid and also entitled him to special immunities in civil law—as well as providing him warmth at lectures and chapel. When American colleges and universities desired to adopt some suitable system of academic apparel, a conference held at Columbia University in 1895, made up of representatives from various institutions, drew up a “By-Law, Regulation, or Statute” for the establishment of a suitable code of academic dress for colleges and universities in the United States. This code, with modifications made in 1959 by the Committee on Academic Costumes and Ceremonies of the American Council on Education, is still in force; the costumes and colors, trimmings, and patterns you will see are traditional, and interpret both the degree and field of learning. The bachelor’s gown, designed to be worn closed, has pointed sleeves; the master’s gown, which may be worn open or closed, has an oblong sleeve open at the wrist that hangs down in the traditional manner. The rear part of its oblong shape is square cut, and the front part has the arc cut away. The doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves. It may be worn open or closed. Black is the recommended color for all academic gowns. Bachelor’s and master’s gowns are untrimmed. Doctor’s gowns are faced with black velvet, with three bars across the sleeves, or the color of the velvet may be that which is distinctive to the degree, agreeing with that of the edging of the hood. In the 1960s, many American land-grant universities adopted the British and the Scottish tradition of using the official school color(s) for the robes of their doctoral recipients—for instance, Yale: sky blue; Harvard: crimson; University of Pennsylvania: scarlet and blue; Columbia: slate gray; Rutgers: deep red and black. The colors you will see in the hoods of our faculty represent the various fields in which the degrees were taken: Apricot: Nursing Orange: Engineering Brown: Fine Arts Pink: Music Citron: Social Work Purple: Law Crimson: Journalism Sage Green: Physical Education Dark Blue: Philosophy Salmon Pink: Public Health Golden Yellow: Science Scarlet: Theology Green: Medicine Yellow-Brown: Commerce, Business, Accountancy Lemon-Yellow: Library Science White: Arts, Letters, Humanities Light Blue: Education The hoods, differing in length for the three degrees—bachelor’s, master’s, and doctor’s—are lined with the official colors of the university or college conferring the degree, usually with one color forming a chevron pattern over the other. Hoods are edged and bound with velvet or the color appropriate for the degree. You will see in our procession many hoods edged with dark blue, representing doctor of philosophy. Mortarboards are the approved headgear. The tassel, worn on the left side of the cap, may be of gold if the holder has a doctor’s degree. In the procession, first come the faculty members, then the candidates for degrees arranged in the order in which degrees are to be conferred, and finally, the speakers, trustees, administrative officers, candidates for honorary degrees, and other members of the platform party. 32 West Long Branch, NJ 07764-1898
