A CELEBRATION OF THE

CLASS OF 2020

SATURDAY, the THIRTEENTH of JUNE,

TWO THOUSAND and TWENTY

PRO GRAM

Commencement is Carleton College’s pinnacle event—the ultimate recognition of our

students’ hard work and accomplishment. Our graduates and their families, faculty

members, and the entire Carleton community look forward to celebrating each spring

on the lawn in front of Hulings. Even though we are not able to gather in person this

year, we are grateful for the opportunity to honor our graduates virtually as they

conclude their time at Carleton. And we look forward to the day we can welcome the

Class of 2020 back to campus to celebrate with them in person.

WOMEN'S AND GENDER STUDIESEmma Madeleine Gautier

Carleton College was the dream of Minnesota pioneers who understood that human knowledge is the

real frontier. We've been exploring it here ever since.

Carleton is Minnesota’s third oldest college, established on October 12, 1866, by the General Conference of

the Congregational Churches of Minnesota. The founder was Northfield businessman Charles M. Goodsell,

for whom the College’s observatory is named. It was he who encouraged the church to open a Minnesota

college and he who donated part of its original 20 acres. The first instructor hired was Horace Goodhue,

Jr., for whom a campus dormitory was later named.

The earliest students of what was then known as Northfield College, both men and women, arrived in

the fall of 1867 to attend classes in the former American House hotel, located in what is now downtown

Northfield. The new school met with serious financial challenges until 1871, when Massachusetts brass

wares manufacturer William Carleton agreed to donate $50,000 to the College that now bears his name.

The following year, thanks to a $10,000 gift from William Carleton’s one-time assistant and second wife,

Susan Willis Carleton, the fledgling college moved into its first new building, Willis Hall, which still stands

today on the western edge of campus.

Best known for its academic excellence and warm, welcoming campus community, Carleton College

offers majors and concentrations in the arts, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. Carleton

is committed to providing a true liberal arts education, a curriculum that challenges our students to learn

broadly and think deeply. Instead of training for one narrow career path, Carleton students develop the

knowledge and skills to succeed in any walk of life. The most important thing our students learn is how to

learn for a lifetime. Critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, effective communication: these are the

tools that transform a collection of facts and figures into a way of understanding the world.

Carleton's faculty members are highly respected scholars, researchers, and practitioners in their fields. But

above all, their first priority is teaching. Every course at Carleton is taught by a professor, not a teaching

assistant, in classes small enough to offer individual attention for our students and plenty of opportunity

for interaction with their professors.

Carleton's students are notoriously difficult to categorize, but if we had to choose just one word to describe

them, it would be curious. The student body is an intellectually insatiable group that approaches learning

with enthusiasm, energy, and a uniquely Carleton brand of playfulness. Broad-ranging interests are

common, and friendships seem to cross all traditional boundaries.

Commencement is the pinnacle event for Carleton College, a celebration of student accomplishment and

recognition of why the college exists. This day is one that parents and students dream about for years and

work hard to achieve.

CARLETON COLLEGE

TRANSLATION OF THE DIPLOMA

The President and Trustees of Carleton College, to all who shall happen to read this document,

Greeting in the Lord

Be it known that it has pleased us, in consideration of his/her merits, to confer upon (name of graduate)

the title and degree of Bachelor of Arts, and that we have granted to him/her all honors, rank, insignia,

rights, and privileges which here and everywhere pertain to the degree

In testimony whereof, let the Public Seal of the College and the Signature of the President be appended

to this document at Northfield, Minnesota on the thirteenth day of the month of June, and in the year

two thousand and twenty

THE COLLEGE SEAL

The Carleton College seal is used on diplomas and other official college documents.

It was designed by Rev. Abel K. Packard, son-in-law of William Carleton and member of the first Board

of Trustees. Adopted on October 13, 1870—the day, by chance, that Rev. James W. Strong accepted the

invitation to become first president of the college—it still stands as Carleton’s official insignia.

The Latin surrounding the Carleton seal is fairly straightforward. The outer ring carries the

abbreviations SIGILL : COLL : CARLETON. The full words would be Sigillum Collegii, or “Seal of the

College.” The inner ring has DECLARATIO SERMONUM TUORUM ILLUMINAT, or “The Revelation of

Your Word Illuminates” (taken from Psalm 119).

The books pictured at the center are inscribed with Greek characters. The upper, central book carries

the legend AI AGIAI GRAFAI (hai hagiai graphai) which means “The Sacred Writings” and refers

to the Scriptures of the Christian tradition. The books at the bottom of the picture, receiving rays of

illumination from the top one, are marked TO KALON KAGATHON (to kalon k’agathon) which means

“The Good and Noble,” referring to the texts of the Classical tradition. What the seal shows, then, is the

illumination of earthly knowledge in the holy rays of Christian Scripture.
