Commencement brings together a wide variety of departments and individuals to plan and stage this annual event celebrating our graduating class and the educational mission of our University. Without the efforts of so many willing to step outside the bounds of their usual duties, this day would simply not be possible. It is a special moment for the Class of 2005 and another milestone in the distinguished history of the University of Vermont. To all who played a role in this day, I extend my sincere thanks.

Simmons, is among the most visible and highly regarded leaders in American higher education. Simmons’ personal story, her rise from a rural Texas family to become the first black woman to lead an Ivy League institution, has made her an inspiration to many and drawn the attention of national media, such as CBS’ 60 Minutes and Time Magazine, which, in 2001, named her America’s best college president. At Brown University, where she was sworn in as the 18th president on July 3, 2001, Simmons has moved swiftly to enrich academics by expanding the faculty; investing in libraries, information technology, and facilities; strengthening diversity throughout the university; and establishing a need-blind financial aid process. “If there is anything that I can bring to higher education,” Simmons has said, “it is a constant reminder of the need to bring children from the margins to the center, constantly redefining the center so that our democracy remains strong.” Ruth Simmons knows what it is to be one of those children on the margin. She was raised in Grapeland, Texas, during a time when segregation and racism were a part of everyday life. Simmons has credited her mother, who faced challenges with “grace, magnanimity, and aplomb,” as the greatest influence on her life. When the family moved to Houston, Simmons entered public school for the fist time. Thanks partly to financial support from her high school teachers, she attended Dillard University in New Orleans, where she graduated summa cum laude in 1967. Simmons would go on to earn her doctorate in Romance languages and literatures from Harvard University in 1973. Her scholarship has included focus on 6 the works of French West African poet David Diop and Aime Cesaire, a politically active poet/playwright from Martinique. Simmons is also the author of a book on the educational system in Haiti, and her appointment at Brown includes a professorship in the departments of Comparative Literature and Africana Studies. Prior to assuming the presidency at Brown, Simmons built her career in higher education leadership with roles at the University of Southern California, Princeton University, and Smith College, where she was president from 1995 to 2001. While president of Smith, Simmons launched a number of initiatives, including the first engineering program at a women’s college in the United States. (The founding director of that program, Domenico Grasso, became the new dean of the College of Engineering and Mathematics at UVM this year.) Simmons has been honored with the Centennial Medal from Harvard University, the Teachers College Medal f rom C ol u m b i a U n i vers i t y, t he President’s Award from the United Negro College Fund, and the Fulbright Lifetime Achievement Medal. F. HERBERT BORMANN Doctor of Science F. Herbert Bormann began researching the ecosystems of New England’s forests more than 50 years ago. The alpine and old growth forests of the Green Mountains and Sleepers River watershed of Vermont were his early stomping grounds. Ideas that germinated in those Vermont soils ultimately led to several novel approaches to research that have become the premier models for scientific study of ecosystems throughout the world. Bormann pioneered the “small watershed technique” to study the biogeochemist ry of whole fores t ecosystems. Bormann has been awarded the prestigious World Prize for Environmental Achievement, Eminent Ecologist Award, and the Blue Planet Prize, among others. His outstanding scientific contributions are found in nearly 200 articles in the scientific literature and eight books he authored or co-authored. He has served as mentor and advisor to 34 Ph.D. ecologists, who serve as professors at universities throughout the world including the University of Vermont. Bormann is a long-time, active member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences – two of the nation’s most prestigious and selective organizations. Establishing the worldrenowned Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study in New Hampshire also numbers among Bormann’s lasting contributions to his field. While his record as a scientist is unparalleled, Bormann’s contributions to society truly distinguish him. He has described the role of human activity as a driver of cycles in natural systems. He has defined the “global environmental debt” and explained how it influences quality of life, economies and politics. His book, Redesigning the American Lawn, a Search for Environmental Harmony, brought his work to a wider audience. An underlying theme of Bormann’s work is communicating ways that environmental science can serve humanity. A professor emeritus at Yale University, Bormann has a long association with the University of Vermont where he holds a formal adjunct professorship in The Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources. As a founding member of the Rubenstein School’s Board of Advisors, Bormann takes a key role in helping UVM fulfill its promise to become the leading environmental university in the nation. Perhaps the leading academic voice on environmental matters in the world, Herbert Bormann’s thinking and investigation models have dramatically changed our understanding of how forest ecosystems work, how to study these complex systems, and the relationship between the natural world and humanity. Return to Index Commencement 2005 LILIAN BAKER CARLISLE Doctor of Laws Burlington, Vermont resident, Lilian Baker Carlisle, is a well-known and highly regarded local historian, author and antiques appraiser. For more than 50 years, she has worked to bring this area’s history alive and make it accessible to everyone. In the process, she has become an important part of the history herself. At 93, her achievements are many. Her greatest has been her ability to engage countless others in the work she loves so much and to instill in them a passion about where we have been and where we are going. Carlisle moved to Burlington in 1946 with her husband Grafton, a banker, and their two daughters, Diana and Penelope. In 1950, she went to work for Electra Havermeyer Webb, founder of the Shelburne Museum. Within a short time, Carlisle was asked to develop a “filing system” for the Museum’s ever-expanding collection. She spent the next 11 years as director of research and collections and received national recognition for her work c ata loging this unique collection. Through her work, Carlisle developed an expertise in American decorative arts and antiques, and meticulous research skills. When she left the Museum in 1961, a year after Electra Webb’s death, Carlisle used her experience and knowledge to write articles for various antique and other tr ade magazines, including Yankee, Antiques Journal, Antiques, Spinning Wheel, Art & Antiques, Hobbies and Antique Trader. She is the author of more than 20 books and pamphlets on local history. Her magnum opus, Ver mont Clock and Watchmakers, Silversmiths, and Jewelers, 1778-1878 remains the definitive resource on this material. Also among her literary credits are The Story of the Shelburne Museum, co-authored with Ralph Nading Hill; five books about the Shelburne Museum’s collections; and editor of the Heritage Series on local buildings in Chittenden County and three volumes of the Historical Guide to Burlington Neighborhoods. Through her many years of researching and writing, Carlisle has become a walking encyclopedia of Burlington history, pioneering what are now legendary guided tours of Burlington neighborhoods. Her service to the city was acknowledged in 2001 in honor of her 90th birthday when the mayor of Burlington presented her with a key to the city. Her honors also include Preservation Burlington’s first Lifetime Achievement Award, in 2004. She is a founding member of the Chittenden County Historical Society and the Robert Hull Fleming Museum’s popular Heirloom Appraisal Day, an annual fund raising event that lasted 19 years. She is also a member of the Fleming’s Advisory Board, and continues to serve on their Collections Committee. A longtime supporter of the museum, Carlisle most recently funded a renovation to the children’s activity room. Always civic minded, Carlisle served in the Vermont legislature, 1969-70, specializing in issues related to health care and published a number of important studies on mental retardation, day care and a Burlington Area Community Health Study. Lilian Baker Carlisle is a model for life-long learning. She earned her bachelor’s degree in history at age 69 in 1981, and followed with her master’s in 1986, both from the University of Vermont. She has followed her own advice well — never lose your sense of wonder. THOMAS R. CECH Doctor of Science Thomas R. Cech is a distinguished scientist and educator. Since 2000, he has been president of the nation’s largest private source of support for biomedical research and science education — the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). In 1989, at the age of 41, Thomas R. Cech was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his groundbreaking discovery of ribozymes, or catalytic RNA. This discovery was so significant that it altered the central dogma of the biosciences. Scientists who once thought that RNA (ribonucleic acid) in living cells was passive, learned that it can act as an enzyme and function as a biologic catalyst. As a result, chemistry and biology textbooks have been revised and a new way of thinking about biochemical research has begun. This discovery has also sparked intense efforts to develop ribozymes as pharmaceuticals directed against viruses, cancer and genetic diseases. Cech’s other area of focus is telomerase — an unusual, yet key enzyme responsible for replication of chromosomes, which has implications in the scientific understanding of the duplication of cancer cells. His lab’s discovery of a telomerase subunit is helping scientists better understand the behavior of HIV. Born in Chicago and raised in Iowa City, Iowa, Cech developed a love of science as a child. He discovered his penchant for biological chemistry and met his wife, Carol, while an undergraduate at Grinnell College. While they both earned doctorates in chemistry from the University of CaliforniaBerkeley, he found his scientific niche — chromosome structure and function, which remains the focus of his work to this day. After completing postdoctoral work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cech joined the University of Colorado faculty in 1978. He has been a Hughes investigator since 1988. The Howard Hughes Medical Institute supports hundreds of biomedical scientists working at the forefront of their fields. Although employees of the Institute, Hughes investigators continue to be based at their institutions, typically leading a research group of 10-25 students, postdoctoral associates and technicians. They also continue to serve as faculty members. The integration of research and teaching is something Cech firmly believes in. “The most vibrant science education experiences,” he says, “come not from classroom teaching but when undergraduates enter research laboratories where they have the opportunity to work on state-of-the-art equipment and 7 Return to Index Commencement 2005 on questions whose answers are not yet known.” Keeping HHMI investigators at their institutions is one way HHMI is helping to foster the next generation of researchers. Cech and HHMI have demonstrated strong support of UVM, providing millions of dollars in aid to UVM researchers and helping to establish both the undergraduate science education HELiX program and the College of Medicine’s program in structural biology. Through his work at HHMI, and his strong sense of responsibility as a scientist and educator, Cech ensures that scientists across the country are equipped with the quality resources they need to help them uncover answers to how the body functions and why diseases occur. ADAM CLYMER Doctor of Humane Letters Adam Clymer has been keeping Americans informed about their government for more than four decades as one of the nation’s premiere political reporters. Having spent the last 26 years of his career as chief Washington correspondent for The New York 8 Times covering Congress, the White House and presidential campaigns, Clymer established himself as one of the great political journalists of his generation. Recipient of the American Political Science Association’s 2003 Carey McWilliams Award for distinguished political reporting and the 1993 Everett McKinley Dirksen Award for distinguished reporting on Congress, Clymer has authored books on Ronald Reagan and Edward Kennedy. The late LarsErik Nelson, former New York Daily News Washington correspondent and nationally-renowned journalist, called Clymer “one of a dying generation of absolutely straight shooters. There are others on the campaign trail that will put their own attitudes into a story. Clymer plays it straight.” Born in New York City on April 27, 1937, Clymer earned his bachelor’s degree from Harvard in 1958 and did post-graduate work at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, on a Frank Knox Fellowship in 1959. He began his journalistic career in 1960, working as a reporter for the Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk, Virginia. After stints at the Baltimore Sun and the New York Daily News, Clymer joined the staff of The New York Times as a reporter and editor in 1977. He would rise to the posts of Washington editor, then chief Washington correspondent. C l y mer ’s b o ok , Edward M. Kennedy: A Biography, was based on years of interviews with Kennedy. In 1981, Clymer co-authored Reagan: The Man, the President with fellow New York Times journalists Hedrick Smith, Leonard Silk, Robert Lindsey, and Richard Burt. Adam Clymer and his wife, Ann, have been strong supporters of the University of Vermont. In memory of their daughter, Jane emily Clymer, who studied at UVM, the Clymers created an endowment that funds women in their junior year at UVM in Arts and Sciences who have shown academic promise and demonstrated a record of caring for others. The Clymers make it a priority to meet each scholar and stay in touch with them long after they have graduated. Adam Clymer has also given freely of his time, sharing his experience and expertise through guest lectures. Since his retirement from The New York Times in 2003, Clymer has been a visiting scholar and political director of the National Annenberg Election Survey.

Witte 49 Return to Index Commencement 2005 ACADEMIC REGALIA The Academic Costume worn today in U.S. colleges and universities is a survivor of the Middle Ages. The University of Vermont was among the first in this country to experiment with the use of academic gowns, requiring their wearing at the graduation of 1806. The experiment was not repeated until mid-century when UVM and other colleges began wholeheartedly to use the medieval scholar’s clothing for ceremonial occasions. The code regulating academic costume is administered by an intercollegiate commission that establishes uniform standards. BACHELORS’ gowns have closed fronts and long, pointed sleeves. MASTERS’ gowns may be worn open or closed and have oblong sleeves open at the wrist, the lower portion hanging down with an arc near the bottom. DOCTORS’ gowns may be open or closed and have velvet facings and three velvet bars on the round, open sleeves. The facings and bars may be of black or of the official colors of the wearer’s department of learning. Hoods are usually black. All are lined in silk in the academic color or colors of the institution conferring the degree, with a chevron for additional colors. A University of Vermont hood is lined with green, with a gold chevron, the official school colors. The color of the hood border indicates the degree earned.

The Class of 1927 Memorial Mace is carried by the University Marshal at formal university occasions and is displayed on the platform during these ceremonies. The Mace, a gift from the Class of 1927, is forty-seven inches long, cast bronze, plated in silver, with a black ebony handle. The sculpture on one of the four sides depicts the center section of Old Mill with Mt. Mansfield in the background, symbolizing the founding of the University. Other sides display three students reaching upwards to a lamp, symbolic of learning; the Ira Allen Chapel, symbolizing spiritual guidance; and a group of four persons, symbolizing friendship. It is crowned by the seal of the University. The Mace was designed and the model sculpted by Richard Simpson, son of Carl G. and Doris Griffith Simpson, both members of the Class of 1927.

In 1975 the Board of Trustees voted to restore the original seal to official use, modified to incorporate the Latin name of the College of Agriculture. The motto on the seal is from Horace, Epistles 1.2.36. Literally, it means “For virtuous studies and matters.” In the allusion to Horace’s poem it reflects UVM’s continuing belief in the utility and practicality of all liberal studies.
