THE COLORADO COLLEGE HYMN“St. Anne”

William Croft (1678–1727)(Selected Stanzas)

O Colorado College fair, We sing our praise to you;

Eternal as the Rockies,that form our western view;

Your loyal sons and daughterswill always grateful be;

The college dear to all of our hearts is our C.C.

O Colorado College fair,Long may your fame be known;

May fortune smile upon you,and honor be your own;

Our Alma Mater always,Your loyal children we;

Together let us face the future,Hail C.C.

O God, our help in ages past,Our hope for years to come,

Our shelter from the stormy blast,And our eternal home.

A thousand ages in Thy sightAre like an evening gone;

Short as the watch that ends the nightBefore the rising sun.

Time, like an ever-rolling stream,Bears all its own away;

They fly, forgotten, as a dreamDies at the opening day.

O God, our help in ages past,Our hope for years to come,

Be Thou our guide while life shall lastAnd our eternal home. Amen.

— Isaac Watts

SUSANNAH HESCHEL

HANNAH SUSANNAH HESCHEL is one of the foremost scholars in the field of Jewish studies.The enormous range of her research encompasses subjects such as modern Jewish thought,

Christian-Jewish relations, the history of anti-Semitism, Holocaust historiography, colonial andpostcolonial theology, and Jesus as a Jewish historical figure, to name a few. Heschel has been a pioneer and the founder of several other scholarly areas such as the roots of Reform Judaism,Jewish feminism, multiculturalism within American Jewry, and most recently the studies of inter-relationship and tolerance between Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. In addition, SusannahHeschel is an internationally respected speaker and activist in issues concerning religion andpolitics, religion and the environment, inter-religious dialogue, tolerance, and civil rights. Amember of the Council of the Parliament of the World’s Religions, Susannah Heschel serves bothas an ambassador of the Jewish people and the United States, next to spiritual leaders such as theArchbishop Desmond Tutu, H.E. Abdullah Omar Nasseef, and H.H. the Dalai Lama.

A descendant of an impressive lineage of Hassidic rabbis and Talmudic scholars, Susannah Heschelhas distinguished herself not only through the sharp clarity of her thoughts and writings, but alsothrough her incisive observations and originality. Like a well-trained Talmudic scholar, she re-examines the most ordinarily accepted “truth,” placing huge question marks over conventionalscholarly wisdom and ideas, and offering perspectives different from the prevailing ones in aperfectly convincing manner. The portrayal of Christian-Jewish relations over many centuries as astate of theological colonization, the re-conceptualization of Judaic studies through feminist andmulticultural theories, the insightful study of women serving in the SS, and the ways in whichgender is implicated when women commit atrocities. These are only a few among other researchsubjects, which Heschel has examined with tremendous intellectual breadth and enormous courage.

Susannah Heschel’s research and activities have been greatly impacted by the legacy of her father,the rabbi and philosopher Abraham Joshua Heschel. The 1965 photo depicting the legendary rabbimarching alongside Martin Luther King Jr. from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, with thousandsof other supporters became an icon of moral and spiritual power in both Jewish and African-American communities. Walking in her father’s footsteps, Susannah Heschel has publishedextensively on the special relationship between the reverend and the rabbi, and the affinities intheir theological thought. However, Susannah Heschel has spread her energy far beyond the safewalls of the academic ivory tower. Through her worldwide actions in pursuit of justice, truth, andcivil rights she has made this world a better place for many.

If the pen is mightier than the sword, then Susannah Heschel is a courageous warrior. In her booksshe frequently points out intellectual distortions and long-standing injustices. While doing so shealso reveals the path to intellectual honesty, justice, fairness, and ultimately to understanding,reconciliation, and tolerance among dwellers of our planet. It is a great honor for me to presentSusannah Heschel for the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa.

ROY R. ROMER

AMERICANS OF A CERTAIN AGE, if they participate only casually in America’s public andsymbolic life, should be forgiven if they confuse Roy Romer for that Hollywood hero of the

West, Roy Rogers. Roy Romer’s boyhood home of Holly, Colorado, just up the road from Buckeyeand east of Granada, surely makes our Roy a man of the West. He received his BA from ColoradoState University in 1952 in agricultural economics and later became Colorado’s commissioner ofagriculture. He is a man of the soil. He received his law degree from the University of Colorado. Heis on the side of the law. He studied ethics at Yale. He is on the side of right. And like Roy Rogers,Roy Romer won. A Republican-leaning Colorado elected this Democrat to govern it three times.Absent term limits, he might be our governor today.

Like his alliterative and metric counterpart, Roy Romer has ridden many noble political steeds tocountless rescues throughout his life. He served in the Air Force, as a military prosecutor, inGermany in the 1950s. He served in Colorado’s legislature from 1958–1966. He was Colorado’sstate treasurer for a decade. In the 1990s alone Roy Romer chaired the Democratic Governors’Association, served on the politically sensitive Bipartisan Commission for the Reform ofEntitlements, co-chaired the 1996 Clinton-Gore reelection campaign, and, from 1997–2000, servedas the general chair of the Democratic National Committee.

In his 72nd year, at an age when nearly all of us live in a tranquil retirement, and the bulk of thosewho don’t are dead, Roy Romer rode out on his greatest rescue mission. In June of 2000, heaccepted the Los Angeles City Board of Education’s offer to become the superintendent of schoolsof the Los Angeles Unified School District. The board has renewed his contract twice, extending histerm until 2007, one year short of his 80th birthday. Under his leadership, voters in his schooldistrict have approved school bond funding totaling $7 billion, the largest school bond issues inAmerican history. The program, currently underway, to build 160 new schools in the district, is thelargest such construction project in the nation. New literacy and math programs, which includecomputer-based learning programs and hundreds of instructional coaches for teachers themselves,have raised the math and reading scores in many of Los Angeles’ schools above the nationalaverage for the first time in decades.

Since ancient times it has been said that we must distinguish between people of thought andpeople of action, that somehow thought and action get in each other’s way. Roy Romer gives thelie to the ancients. This man of thoughtful action is not simply a credit to the American West, heis a national hero.

KAY DEEN PATTERSON

Colorado College honors Kay Deen Patterson for a life of extraordinary accomplishment anddevoted service.

Kay Deen’s roots were in Eldred, Illinois, where she grew up on a family farm. The importance of placeguided her development until she left home to attend MacMurray College for Women in Jacksonville,Illinois, earning an AA. In 1955, she married Everett R. “Bud” Patterson, whose service in the UnitedStates Air Force took them on a sojourn that involved living in 18 homes in 21 years. Her children,Kevin Patterson and Michelle Patterson Noyes, and her grandchildren serve as her greatest legacy.

Ironically, this woman who would become known as a real-estate “superstar” did not own herhome until 1967, when she and Bud moved to Colorado Springs. While her husband served ourcountry in Vietnam, Kay Deen began her career in the male-dominated field of real estate at a timewhen most women were secretaries rather than licensed sales agents. Patronized by her boss andunderestimated by her colleagues, Kay Deen surprised them all, becoming the top sales associatein her company in her first year. Her career quickly moved from promising newcomer to real-estatelegend. Awards from the Pikes Peak Association of Realtors included Salesperson of the Year,Classics, Diamond, and their Distinguished Sales Award. Nationally, she has been recognizedmultiple times as one of the top ten agents for Prudential Real Estate System and as one of the top100 U.S. agents by Realtor Magazine. She has served as a “superstar” panelist for the NationalAssociation of Realtors, sharing her wisdom with upcoming professionals. In 1986, she and herhusband founded their own company. Today, Prudential Professional REALTORS employs over 180people and is ranked among the top 250 real estate companies in North America.

One could argue that Kay Deen’s stellar success grew out of her commitment to serve in whatevermanner she was able, finding customers homes, jobs, financial assistance, and offering a kindgesture at every turn. Her commitment to service goes far beyond the world of real estate. Shedonated her time and expertise to public service, bringing her sense of style and knack forhospitality to the place she loved so dearly. The Benet Hill Center Advisory Board, Colorado FineArts Committee, Colorado Springs Ballet Advisory Committee, Colorado Springs EconomicDevelopment Corporation, and the Community in Schools Program are just a few of the sites forher volunteer activity. She also served as a sponsor for the Electric Safari at the Cheyenne MountainZoo, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Golf Tournament, and Newborn Hope.

Kay Deen Patterson continued her service to her customers and the community even as she battledcancer in the final three years of her life. In 2004, she finished as the number-one realtor inColorado Springs for the 35th straight year, selling $57 million in real estate while being namedone of the 25 Most Influential Women in Colorado Springs. Colorado College is pleased that KayDeen received news of her honorary degree a short time before her death in March 2005. Today,we celebrate her achievements, even as we mourn her loss.

ALUMNI HONORARY DEGREES

WHEN A FEW brave and visionary men determinedin 1874 to found a college in the shadow of the

Rocky Mountains, Colorado was not yet a state; in fact,it was little more than an inhospitable frontier.Nonetheless, on February 4, 1874, the Board of Trusteesadopted a charter establishing “The Colorado College,”and stating that the board’s purpose was “to locate and maintain at Colorado Springs under Christianauspices an Institution of Learning on the college oruniversity plan.”

The college officially began with 12 students and two instructors meeting in a three-room frame building in the 200 block of North Tejon Street. Student assemblies and daily prayer meetingswere held in the Cumberland Presbyterian Churchnext door.

But the institution’s stability was far fromassured. In fact, the college’s first president, theReverend James G. Dougherty, said, “The trusteeslooked around for someone who had wit enough tosee the fading possibilities of a college and not witenough to perceive the great hindrances to success.”

In fact, the hindrances turned out to beconsiderable. When there was not enough money forthe president’s salary, Dougherty resigned, and withinweeks, a large party of Ute Indians, en route from theirmountain reservation to a buffalo hunt, wereencamped on the four-block square that had been setaside for the campus.

The setback, however, was only temporary. In1876, Edward Payson Tenney was offered thepresidency of the “suspended” college, on thecondition that he be responsible for raising the moneyto cover all operational and instructional expenses ofthe institution and not “place trustees of the collegeunder any financial obligation.” In his book on thehistory of the college, former Dean of Men J. Juan Reidwrites that when Tenney received the invitation fromthe college to be its president, he retired “deep intothe Cape Anne woodlands near his Massachusettshome to pray for divine guidance and specifically, thatHenry Cutler, a well-to-do deacon of his church,might become the divine instrument for putting newlife into Colorado College.” Apparently, Tenney’sprayers were answered because Cutler consulted withofficials of the American College and EducationSociety, and he and four other Congregationalistsfrom the Boston area agreed to finance the operationalexpenses of the college for one term on a trial basis.

In September 1876, the college reopened with 30students and then embarked on a campaign to raise fundsfor the construction of a permanent college building.

General William Jackson Palmer, founder of ColoradoSprings and a trustee of the college, spoke at thegroundbreaking for the new building on July 4, 1877.“In breaking this ground,” he said, “let us set apartand forever devote it and the structure which is to restupon it to the purposes of education, in the mostunsectarian way, to the discovery and inculcation ofthe truth.”

From that day forward, the college had apermanent home. The building was dedicated at thecollege’s first commencement on May 31, 1882. Onthat day, two graduates received their degrees, ParkerHalleck and Fredrick Tuckerman, and they were bothrequired to give orations to the assembled gathering.After they had finished speaking about civil servicereform and “A Popular View of Philosophy,” PresidentTenney delivered a commencement address thatlasted an hour and fifteen minutes.

Halcyon days followed. On April 12, 1883, in the first intercollegiate football game played west of the Mississippi, the college team defeated the team from the University of Denver 12–0.Following the game, Denver University accused thecollege of using “ringers,” and the college admittedthat they had played five of the best players of the Crowell Hose Company, one of the local volunteerfire departments.

In the years that followed, the college continuedto expand, and buildings of peachblow sandstonegrew up and formed the quadrangle. The same clearvision that went into creating the college was evidentagain when it became necessary to preserve thecampus. William F. Slocum, the college’s thirdpresident, refused to allow a local streetcar companyto run its cars through the campus and insisted thatthe new science building be erected at the end ofTejon Street. When the City Council sided withSlocum, the owner of the streetcar company divertedwhat is said to have been “a substantial sum ofmoney,” once intended for the college, to other farless worthy purposes.

The more than 1,930 students currently enrolledat Colorado College are taught by 168 distinguishedfaculty members. The college’s commitment to liberalarts and sciences education has remained steadfastsince its founding in 1874, enhanced by a distinctivecurriculum organization called the Block Plan. Thecollege’s twelfth president, Richard F. Celeste, presidesover today’s ceremonies.

General Palmer’s vision of a school dedicated to “the discovery and inculcation of the truth” is ingood hands.

THE COLORADO COLLEGE

THE ACADEMIC COSTUME worn by faculty givescommencement much of its traditional air of

pageantry. With its long, flowing gown and brightlycolored hood, the costume would seem to have beendesigned for just this purpose. In fact, academiccostume was designed in the Middle Ages, when allstudents were clerics, with much more practicalconsiderations in mind. The gown and its attachedhood helped to keep off the chill in the unheatedbuildings of the day. Even the bright linings of thehood were chosen with the purpose of identifying thereligious order to which the student belonged.

To the knowledgeable observer, Americanacademic costume today can be just as informativeabout its wearer as it was in the Middle Ages. Based onthe intercollegiate code established in 1895, eachaspect of the costume, such as gown color, mortar-board tassel, and sleeve shape, indicates somethingabout its wearer and the highest degree received.

The gown is usually black, although someuniversities have adopted a brighter color scheme. Thecolor of the tassel can indicate the highest degree thewearer has earned; a doctor’s cap, for instance,frequently bears a tassel of gold. The sleeves are evenmore informative, with long pointed sleevesindicating the holder of a bachelor’s degree; oblongsleeves, a master’s degree; and bell-shaped sleeves, adoctor or specialist. The doctor can be distinguishedfrom the specialist by the three bars that adorn thesleeves of the gown.

With its brightly colored lining, the hood is theoutstanding feature of the academic costume. Thecolor of the lining indicates the college or universitythat has granted the degree — Colorado Collegehoods, for instance, are lined in gold. Each hood bearsa border whose color is determined by the degree thewearer has earned. So, a doctor of philosophy’s hoodwill always have a border of blue, regardless of thefield studied.

Among the institutional colors that may be seen attoday’s commencement are the following: University ofAlaska, gold, violet chevron; Arizona State University,maroon, gold chevron; Bryn Mawr College, gold, whitechevron; University of California, gold, blue chevron;University of Chicago, maroon; University of Colorado,gold, silver gray chevron; Columbia University, lightblue, white chevron; University of Connecticut, royalblue and white; Cornell University, red, two whitechevrons; Dartmouth College, Dartmouth green; DukeUniversity, royal blue and white; Harvard University,crimson; University of Illinois, dark blue, two orangechevrons; Indiana University, crimson, white chevron;Johns Hopkins University, dark blue, gold chevron;University of Kansas, red, blue chevron; University ofLondon, maroon, gold chevron; University ofMaryland, black, gold chevron; University of Michigan,maize, azure blue chevron; Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology, bright red, silver gray chevron;Northwestern University, purple, gold chevron;University of Notre Dame, gold, royal blue chevron;University of Oregon, gold, green chevron; Universityof Pennsylvania, cardinal, blue chevron; PrincetonUniversity, orange, black chevron; University ofRochester, gold and blue; Stanford University, cardinal;University of Toronto, scarlet, two white cords;University of Virginia, blue, orange chevron; Universityof Wisconsin, bright red; Yale University, dark blue.
