4 THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA COMMENCEMENT 2016

The Tradition of Commencement Commencement — from the ancient practice of beginning life’s work at the end of an apprenticeship — has roots eight centuries in the European past. The robes and caps worn by the faculty and graduating students at the University of Arizona follow the style of Oxford University, England. The bachelor’s gown, of poplin or a similar cloth, has long, pointed sleeves; the master’s gown, also of poplin, has long, closed sleeves with square ends and a slit at the elbow for the arm to come through; the doctor’s gown has full, round, open sleeves, is faced with velvet, and has three velvet stripes on the sleeves. The sobriety of the blue or black gowns is relieved by the bright spectrum of colors of hood and tassel indicating the wearer’s field of study. At the University of Arizona, candidates for the bachelor’s degree do not wear hoods, but the colors of their tassels indicate the fields in which they are receiving degrees. The candidates for advanced degrees wear hoods lined with silk in the official red and blue colors of the University. The velvet edging of the hood bears the color of the candidate’s major field. The official color for the Doctor of Philosophy degree is dark blue, regardless of the major field of study. Tassel colors used by advanced degree candidates are: master’s, black; doctoral, old gold. The official degree colors established by the Intercollegiate Code in 1895 are used to represent the following major fields of learning at the University of Arizona: Agriculture & Life Sciences · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Maize Architecture · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Blue-Violet Business & Public Administration · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Drab (Light Tan) Education · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Light Blue Engineering · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Orange Family & Consumer Sciences · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Maroon Fine Arts · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Dark Brown Health Professions · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Green Humanities · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · White Law · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Purple Letters, Arts, & Science · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Silver Medicine · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Green Music · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Pink Nursing · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Apricot Optical Sciences · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Orange Pharmacy · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Olive Green Public Health · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·Salmon Sciences · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Gold Social & Behavioral Sciences · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · White At the moment the degree is conferred, the new bachelors move the tassels from right to left to signify their changed academic status. The academic procession is composed of the officers of administration, members of the Arizona Board of Regents, deans of colleges, faculty members, doctoral candidates, honorary degree recipients, other award recipients and candidates for master’s and bachelor’s degrees. THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA COMMENCEMENT 2016 5

The University of Arizona Ceremonial Mace The ceremonial — or academic — mace of the University of Arizona reflects the unique character, mission and values of this institution. At Commencement, it is carried by the Chair of the Faculty and signifies the order and authority of the academic procession. The placing of the mace in its stand marks the beginning of the ceremony. Its removal signifies the end of the platform ceremony. In medieval times, maces were used in combat. In time, bodyguards carried maces to protect royalty. By the 16th century, maces took on the elegance of silver, gold and precious stones, and were incorporated into academic and civil ceremonies. The symbol of authority for the City of London, for example, is the mace of the Lord Mayor.

6 THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA COMMENCEMENT 2016

The University of Arizona mace features a crown of sterling silver surrounding the seal of the University, which is accented with 22K gold. Underlying the crown are 24 acrylic strips in the school colors of red and blue, which add a jewel-like sparkle. The main shaft is made of local mesquite with a sterling silver band inscribed with “The University of Arizona,” accented with 22K gold. The tailpiece repeats the motif of the crown and surrounds a medallion with an image of a wildcat, the school mascot. We thank the University of Arizona Foundation, the College of Fine Arts and Professor Michael Croft for adding the gift of this mace to our Commencement traditions.

ADAM GEYER FREEMAN MEDAL

Adam Geyer will graduate with a Bachelor of Science in neuroscience and cognitive science with a minor in music. An Arizona native from Phoenix, Adam was attracted to the University of Arizona by the unique neuroscience program, as well as the pride that the entire Tucson community has in the institution.

Qualifications include outstanding qualities of manhood or womanhood and moral force of character. Additional factors, which may be considered, are popularity, receipt of athletic awards, membership in organizations, and service on committees and as officers.

Adam found his niche in Greek Life, serving on the Interfraternity Council as the vice president of membership and then as president. During his two terms on the IFC, Adam oversaw and executed the formalization of the fall fraternity recruitment process, which allowed 87% of potential new members to receive an invitation to join a fraternity, compared with 40% in previous years. In recognition of his efforts and leadership in the Greek community, Adam was named 2015 Greek Person of the Year. This past year, Adam served as a member of the Bobcats Senior Honorary and as chapter president of his fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha. As president, he and his executive board were able to eliminate the organization’s $80,000 debt, and improve their chapter’s Standards of Excellence score from 70% to 99%. He also oversaw the Lute Olson Cancer Center Run, where he helped expand the event to include corporate sponsors, which raised $35,000 for the Arizona Cancer Center. In the community, Adam has volunteered at University Medical Center and the Emerge! Center Against Domestic Abuse, and coaches a baseball team in Tucson Mountain Little League. After graduation, Adam will spend the summer in Budapest as an Atlantis Program fellow before returning to Arizona to study for the MCAT and work on his medical school applications.

Adam’s involvement on campus started early with his participation in student government. He became the first freshman to be selected to the ASUA Appropriations Board, where he served as a director for two years before becoming ASUA’s state affairs director. As state affairs director, Adam helped spearhead the student-run “It’s On Us” campaign to raise awareness of sexual assault on campus.

Graduation with Honors The University of Arizona Honors College offers admission to a highly selective group of academically distinguished students. Students who graduate with honors are awarded a gold medallion to wear at the Commencement ceremony. Graduation with Honors signifies that students have satisfied 18 to 30 hours of honors academic work, earned a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or greater, and completed a senior honors thesis, design project or capstone experience. The honors academic experience is more exploratory, experimental and open-ended than the usual classroom experiences. Honors academic work enables students to engage the material in more depth, to actively participate in scholarly and creative processes, and to personalize their learning through imaginative, critical and applied experiences. Special opportunities provided to honors students include: unique classes, independent study projects, small group discussions, topic-centered colloquia, informal interaction between faculty and students outside the classroom, funding for undergraduate research, one-on-one preparation for graduate and professional school, and advising for students interested in nationally competitive scholarships and fellowships. Graduates of the University of Arizona Honors College are highly successful. The majority of students graduating with honors go on to professional or graduate schools; the rest immediately enter the workforce in such fields as architecture, engineering, and teaching.

James Fred “Pop” McKale came to Tucson in 1911 to accept a job at Tucson High School. His state championship baseball teams were known for their victories embarrassing the college teams at the UA and Tempe Normal. A student petition was presented to University President A.H. Wilde, asking him to hire McKale as athletic director and coach of all UA sports. Although he was opposed to the hiring, Wilde announced McKale’s appointment on June 2, 1914, at a salary of $1,700 per year. Wilde’s successor, Rufus B. von KleinSmid, was not much more enthused with the benefits of collegiate athletics, and records for 1915 show that McKale’s total appropriation to run his program amounted to $835!

In time the players got “uniforms”: padded canvas pants, old shoes to which a local shoemaker attached cleats, and shoulder pads made of old shirts and stuffed into their playing shirts. No headgear at all. “Training” consisted of getting up early and running four or five miles — perhaps as far as Fort Lowell and back — before showering and going to class.

Sage Green and Silver were the colors of the University of Arizona’s first football team.

The University’s original cactus garden (located in front of Old Main from 1896 to 1929) was begun by Professor James W. Toumey, the botanist for the Agricultural Experiment Station, in the fall of 1891. The garden was moved in 1896 to the area shown here. A heart-shaped plot of ground, with a transported soil cover of about 12 inches over a base of solid caliche, it soon developed into a garden of over 600 species, an interesting contrast to the surrounding lawns, shrubs, and trees.

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that interior photographs of Old Main were taken when school began in 1891. It is known that besides classrooms, laboratories, and offices, there were some temporary sleeping quarters for faculty and male students, a kitchen and mess hall, space for a territorial weather bureau, and a photographic darkroom. The University was proud of its equipment, both for teaching and research, and took pains to buy from the best suppliers.

THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA COMMENCEMENT 2016 33

The year was 1885 and the mood was mean. The cities and counties needed money and the Territorial Legislature controlled the purse strings. To make matters worse the members of the 13th Territorial Legislature were known to make decisions for often less than ethical reasons. They had earned the nickname “The Thieving Thirteenth.”

There were two major prizes to be won from the Legislature that year. Phoenix and Prescott came out on top. Phoenix was given the asylum for the insane and Prescott kept the state capital. Tucson received an unwelcome consolation prize of the University of Arizona, and with it, a measly $25,000 appropriation, just one quarter of the amount Phoenix received to build the insane asylum.

34 THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA COMMENCEMENT 2016

One condition the Legislature slapped on Tucson was that the people of Pima County had to donate 40 acres to the University. The response was less than overwhelming. No one offered an inch. One man decided the time had come to take matters into his own hands. Jacob S. Mansfeld was a member of the new Board of Regents. He took a walk into the desert about a mile east of town and picked out a site for the new university. The land was owned

by two professional gamblers, E.B. Gifford and Ben C. Parker, and saloon keeper W.S. “Billy” Read. They weren’t all that sure their land was the perfect spot for the new University of Arizona. Finally, on Nov. 27, 1886, the owners agreed and the deed was filed. A year later, on Oct. 27, 1887, ground was broken for the building that was to be known as Old Main.

NASA was only 2 years old and little was known about the moon when astronomer Gerard Kuiper boldly established a Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the UA in 1960. But it paid off when NASA needed to know if it would be safe to land on the moon, and the UA assured NASA that it was.

In October 1926, John F. “Button” Salmon, one of the most popular players on the football team and president of the student body, was critically injured in an automobile accident on the Phoenix highway. Shortly before his death on Oct. 18, 1926, Athletic Director J.F. McKale visited him, and asked if he had any message for the team. Whether truth or legend, Button is reported to have said, “Tell them … tell them to bear down.”

A year later, in December 1927, the men’s junior honorary organization, Chain Gang, sponsored a fundraising dance to paint “Bear Down” on the roof of the gymnasium. A professional sign painter was hired to outline the letters, and the Chain Gang members completed the job in early 1928.

The original wildcat mascot arrived on campus Oct. 17, 1915, and was introduced to the student body the following day at assembly in Herring Hall. He was the gift of the freshman football team, which had raised the funds ($9.91) to purchase him. He was officially named “Rufus Arizona,” after UA President Rufus B. von KleinSmid. On April 17, 1916, Rufus died. The Arizona Wildcat reported that:

“While endeavoring to perform gymnastic stunts in the limbs of a tree to which he was tied, Rufus Arizona ... fell and was hung.” Note: Never tie a feline to a tree. Rufus was memorialized in verse and a Wildcat editorial, which noted that his “growls urged our team to victory” and spoke of his “strength, alertness, tenacity — the true Arizona spirit.” Rufus had several successors in later years.

On Jan. 31, 1920, the Memorial Fountain in front of Old Main was dedicated amid a huge turnout of students, faculty, townspeople, and military who had come to honor the University’s World War I dead and to greet the guest of honor, Gen. John J. Pershing. General Pershing’s speech was brief and impressive, following which the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon him by President von KleinSmid.

It was a sensational 7-6 Arizona football victory over Pomona College on Nov. 6, 1914, that led to the building of the “A” on Sentinel Peak, west of Tucson. In what was doubtless a burst of enthusiastic pride for his alma mater, Albert H. Condron, a member of the 1914 team and a civil engineering student, suggested to one of his professors that a class assignment be made to survey Sentinel Peak for the location of an “A”.

The site was cleared of shrubbery and cactus, trenches dug to outline the letter’s foundations, rock at hand was mixed with mortar, and water was hauled up the mountain by six-horse teams. The total cost of materials, equipment, and transportation was $397. The back-breaking work was done by the students themselves, Saturday after Saturday, with many difficulties and discouragements, but the “A” was finally whitewashed on March 4, 1916. No one called it

In impulsive defiance the male students, most of them wearing their cadet uniforms, marched downtown and simply took the holiday that had been denied. The story was carried in the newspapers throughout the territory, enraging many, including Governor Brodie. The ringleaders were promptly disciplined with extra drills, and some even put to work laying bricks.

During the 1920s and ’30s the sport that first brought the University of Arizona national recognition was polo. The sport was established in 1922 with horses and a coach provided by the military, and with athletes from the school’s ROTC unit. The first teams were the target of snide remarks from football and basketball

Since 1938, when it was declared unsafe, Old Main had stood unused and locked up. One could only walk around the lower area under the verandas. There were various proposals and arguments for its demolition but Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds Billy Bray — after making a survey — said it would cost more to tear it down than to let it stand.

It was, in the end, the U.S. Navy that kept Old Main from sinking. In September 1942, the Navy awarded a contract for the repair and rehabilitation of the UA’s most treasured building for use of the wartime Naval Indoctrination School. The entire structure was refurbished at a cost of $89,000.

During World War II more than 11,000 men trained at the University for service on land, at sea and in the air. The largest group (10,000) were the men in the Naval Training School.

The basketball hardwood floor was covered with Masonite. Navy flags hung from the rafters, and the indoctrinees’ personal luggage was stored on the balcony seats.

Five hundred bunk beds took over Bear Down Gym.

Thousands of servicemen had trained at nearby airfields and, remembering the sunlight and clear skies, came “home” to Tucson — many accompanied by wives and small children. There was no time to construct additional dormitories to house the new arrivals but the 114 two-family Quonset huts and the five TDUs (four families each) offered by the Federal

Public Housing Authority appeared to be a good “temporary” solution. They rose on the east and west sides of the Polo Field (now University Medical Center).

No one ever imagined that some of these “temporary” dwellings would last for 38 years.

The year was 1885 and the mood was mean. The cities and counties needed money and the territorial Legislature controlled the purse strings. To make matters worse the members of the 13th Territorial Legislature were known to make decisions, often for less than ethical reasons. They had earned the nickname, “The Thieving Thirteenth.”

There were two major prizes to be won from the legislature that year. Phoenix and Prescott came out on top. Phoenix was given the asylum for the insane and Prescott kept the state capital. Tucson received an unwelcome consolation prize of The University of Arizona, and with it, a measly $25,000 appropriation, just one quarter of the amount Phoenix received to build the insane asylum.

C.C. Stevens was the man sent to Prescott to win the state capital for Tucson. He came home with what he hoped would be welcomed as good news about the University. Instead of celebrating, Tucson responded angrily. Some reports say the people of Tucson greeted him with a shower of ripe eggs, rotten vegetables, and a dead cat. Thus, the very beginning for the University of Arizona wasn’t all that proud.

One condition the legislature slapped on Tucson was that the people of Pima County had to donate 40 acres to the University. The response was less than overwhelming. No one offered an inch. One man decided the time had come to take matters into his own hands. Jacob S. Mansfeld was a member of the new Board of Regents. He took a walk into the desert about a mile east of town and picked out a site for the new university.

The land was owned by two professional gamblers, E.B. Gifford and Ben C. Parker, and saloon keeper W.S. “Billy” Read. They weren’t all that sure their land was the perfect spot for the new University of Arizona. Finally, on Nov. 27, 1886, the owners agreed and the deed was filed. A year later, on Oct. 27, 1887, ground was broken for the building that was to be known as Old Main.

The UA’s first school colors were sage green and silver — sage in reference to the indigenous sagebush and silver symbolizing the state’s mining industries. In 1898, an editorial in the school newspaper declared, “We think those colors well chosen, as they show originality and individuality.” The November 1900 issue ran an editorial suggesting that the combination of sage green and silver had “outgrown its usefulness.” The

The December issue that year reported that a committee had been selected to review school colors and ultimately the students almost unanimously adopted cardinal red and navy blue as the new school colors.

The practice of using a live animal as a mascot was discontinued in the mid-1960s. The first costumed-student mascot, “Wilbur” appeared during the 1959 football season and was an instant hit.

Homecoming celebrations are a UA tradition dating back to 1920 and possibly earlier. Only war caused the University to suspend Homecoming festivities in 1918 and from 1943-45.

Between 60,000 and 70,000 alumni attend Homecoming, which now includes more than 100 tents on the Mall, with food, drink, fun and, of course, the Homecoming football game.

Beginning in 1949, the Homecoming parade was held through the streets of downtown Tucson. Now the parade circles the UA Mall and includes 50 student-built floats.
