COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER George W. Bush, 43rd President of the United States George W. Bush served as the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009 during a time of unprecedented challenge, accentuated by terrorist attacks on U.S. soil on September 11, 2001. He was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut, to Barbara and George H.W. Bush, who later became the 41st President of the United States. In 1948, the family moved to Texas, where George W. Bush grew up in Midland and Houston. He received a bachelor’s degree in history from Yale University in 1968 and a master’s degree in business administration from Harvard Business School in 1975. Returning to his Texas roots, he settled in Midland, where he started an energy business and married Laura Welch, an SMU alumna who now serves on SMU’s Board of Trustees. After working on his father’s successful 1988 Presidential campaign, George W. Bush led a group of partners that purchased the Texas Rangers baseball franchise. On November 8, 1994, George W. Bush was elected the 46th Governor of Texas and became the first governor in Texas history to be elected to consecutive four-year terms. After the presidency, George and Laura Bush founded the George W. Bush Presidential Center. Located on the SMU campus, the Center is home to the Bush Presidential Center, which includes the Museum and Library, housing his presidential papers and artifacts. The Center is also home to the George W. Bush Institute, a public policy organization that focuses on economic growth, education reform, global health, and human freedom.

More than 600 acres of open prairie and $300,000 pledged by a group of Dallas citizens secured the university for Dallas, and it was chartered as Southern Methodist University. In appreciation of the city’s support, the first building to be constructed on the campus was named Dallas Hall. It remains the centerpiece and symbol of SMU. When the University opened in 1915, it consisted of two buildings, 706 students, a 35-member faculty and total assets of $636,540. The original schools of SMU were the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Theology and the School of Music. 66 Today SMU offers more than 118 undergraduate majors, master’s degrees in more than 130 areas, Ph.D. degrees in 33 fields and more than 45 certificate programs. Enrollment for the spring 2015 term was 10,936, including 6,169 undergraduate students and 4,767 graduate students. SMU students come from 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands and 102 countries. About 74 percent of first-year students received some form of financial assistance for spring 2015. In addition to preparing students for graduate and professional schools, or more directly for their life’s work, the University strives to enhance their social, moral, intellectual and religious development so that they may lead worthy lives as individuals and citizens of the nation and of the world. T h e H i s t o ry of Academic Procession The academic procession and the regalia worn by the faculty and officers of the University symbolically represent the continuing link between the modern American university and the founding of the great medieval universities in Europe – chief among them Bologna, Paris and Oxford. As those institutions were derived from the Catholic Church, the universities adopted many of the ceremonial trappings of the church in their official public functions. The caps and gowns worn in the procession also vary from place to place. There are variations in design to indicate the degrees held by the wearers, and many universities in America have introduced colorful gowns and other distinguishing details (in place of the customary clerical black from which all originated). The caps, too, vary according to the customs of the university from which the wearer received a degree. While most American universities adopted the “mortarboard” style of Oxford, others have chosen styles based on other European institutions. The color of the tassel worn with the cap may be black for any degree, or the color and Regalia may be that of the faculty of the major field of learning (e.g., Arts, Engineering, Law). Persons holding doctoral degrees and governing officials of institutions are entitled to wear tassels of gold metallic thread. Within the great varieties of styles and colors in gowns and caps, there has been one universally accepted code for the hood worn trailing down the wearer’s back. Originally, it was like the hood on the habit worn by monks and very useful for protection against the weather and even for begging for alms. Nowadays, the hood through length and color shows the degree and the specialization of the wearer, and the university that granted the degree. Through these colorful ceremonies, SMU symbolically displays the continuity of its educational purposes with the origins of organized learning in the Western world. Thomas R. Arp Associate Professor Emeritus of English Southern Methodist University’s Custom Regalia SMU’s regalia visually honor the University’s traditions and spirit, which we celebrate this morning. Candidates for degrees at SMU are robed in custom regalia, designed to incorporate SMU’s colors and symbols. The doctoral gown in dark blue includes velvet chevrons on each of the bell sleeves. The front velvet panels are embroidered in gold thread with the SMU seal, and gold braid outlines the chevrons and panels. An eight-sided, crimson red velvet tam with a gold silk tassel completes the regalia. The master’s gown, also in dark blue, has a front yolk outlined in red braid, and the SMU seal is embroidered in red on the left side. Gowns have a long sleeve through a slit at the wrist. A mortarboard with a colored tassel representing the discipline in which the degree is earned also is worn. Doctoral and master’s candidates wear hoods that are 3½ feet long and 4 feet long, respectively. SMU’s hood lining is blue with red chevron. The Bachelor’s gowns’ distinguishing characteristics are the long pointed sleeves and full front pleats. A red silk Stole of Gratitude embroidered in blue with the SMU seal is worn across the shoulders. It is tradition for graduates to present their stoles to individuals who have made a positive impact in their lives. Bachelor’s gowns are worn with a tassel and mortarboard. 67 Presidential Collar and Medallion Chains of office, also known as collars, were used as badges of office in the Middle Ages. Today they are custom-designed metal necklaces worn by the president during academic ceremonies as part of his or her regalia. the Rotunda in Dallas Hall, SMU’s historic first building. The bail, joining the medallion and the chain, represents the institution’s bond between the faculty and the student body. Equally, the 32-inch The chain of office designed for the 10th president chain, a work of art whose two ends are clasped together, represents the joining of the desire to of SMU, R. Gerald Turner, is made of bronze, a teach and the eagerness to learn demonstrated by strong and durable metal. The medallion of the necklace is dominated by the University seal design, SMU’s faculty and students. just as the seal is the centerpiece in the floor of 68 The Official University Mace Staffs that call groups to order are as old as civilization itself. Today’s ceremonial maces descend particularly from medieval armor-piercing clubs topped by bludgeoning balls. These fierce weapons swiftly acquired symbolic meaning. By the 14th century, a mace, carried at the front of formal processions, required bystanders to note the authority and integrity of the event. In the 16th century, this formidable weapon lost its battle utility but took a symbolic turn: the spiked head evolved into a decorative orb. The European tradition by which universities presented maces on solemn occasions to signify their independence and protective power was adopted by their successors worldwide. The mace-bearer, who is the president of the Faculty Senate, leads formal ceremonies carrying this visible reminder of the University’s history and status. and T h e H o wa r d L a n t e r n The Howard Lantern is dedicated to Professor Lorn Lambier Howard, chief marshal emeritus of SMU from 1978–1987. Crafted out of steel, aluminum and water glass, the lantern depicts the Rotunda of Dallas Hall. Engraved around the base is the University’s motto, Veritas Liberabit Vos, which means “The truth will make you free.” Around the top band are the words to “Varsity,” SMU’s alma mater. The lantern serves as a reminder of the important traditions that make up our University life and the light of learning and intellectual curiosity that shines within the students, faculty and staff at SMU. The 22-pound mace currently in use at SMU is linked to the inauguration of President Willis M. Tate (1954–1972 and 1974–75) and is known as the Tate Mace. The 57-inch staff is topped by a 10½-inch orb that represents not only the University’s worldly authority but also echoes its distinctive neoclassical style. The orb is impressed with the seal of the University and is encircled with SMU’s motto, Veritas Liberabit Vos (“The truth will make you free”). Surmounting the orb is a cross painted vividly in SMU red, a reminder of SMU’s religious heritage.
