ACADEMIC REGALIA Academic regalia derive much of their general style and symbolism from the gowns, cowls, and caps of the medieval universities of Paris, Bologna, Oxford, and Cambridge. In 1895, most colleges and universities in the United States agreed to a common inter­collegiate code. The bachelor’s gown has long pointed sleeves, and the master’s has long squared sleeves with a slit for the arm. The doctor’s gown is faced with velvet and has three velvet bars on each sleeve. Historically, the gown was black, but many degree-granting institutions now allow gowns in their own colors. The presi­dent and the dean wear caps and gowns designed for Hamilton College. The president also wears a medallion created as a symbol of his office

by Ralph Menconi ’36. The academic hood, a descendant of the medieval cowl, indicates the wearer’s degree and field of study, as well as the degree-granting institution. The width of the velvet facing indicates the degree and its color the field of study: white for arts and letters; dark blue for philosophy; scarlet for theology; golden yellow for science. The lining of the hood is the color of the ­degree-granting institution: Hamilton’s is blue with a buff chevron. A poem popular in the 16th century says of the cap that “’Tis square like scholars and their books.”

THE HAMILTON DIPLOMA The Hamilton diploma, written in Latin, is in the medieval tradition that considers undergraduates as apprentices. Once their ­apprenticeship is complete, they are allowed to “commence.” Here is an English translation of the diploma, as if it were being presented to Alexander Hamilton himself: Hamilton College in the State of New York extends its most cordial greetings to all who witness this document.

Know ye that ALEXANDER HAMILTON has studied the best of the sciences and arts with sufficient enthusiasm to be recognized as s­ omeone worthy of receiving the customary rewards of distinction.

Wherefore Hamilton College declares and appoints this person BACHELOR OF ARTS and by virtue of this diploma confers upon him the power to enjoy the rights and privileges unique to that title.

In witness whereof the trustees of this College have caused their seal and the signatures of the president and dean to be affixed at the foot of this document.

David Wippman President

Ngonidzashe Munemo Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty

Bestowed in the chambers of the College on the 21st day of May, 2023, the 211th year of the College.

For those who have done exceptionally well, the diploma reads BACHELOR OF ARTS WITH THE HIGHEST ­DISTINCTION (summa cum laude), BACHELOR OF ARTS WITH GREAT DISTINCTION (magna cum laude), or ­BACHELOR OF ARTS WITH DISTINCTION (cum laude).

Diplomas will be mailed to each senior who completes the requirements for the bachelor’s degree and should arrive in four to six weeks.

WELCOME Welcome to Hamilton College’s Commencement ceremony honoring the Class of 2023.

Hamilton College was chartered by the Regents of the State of New York in 1812. The first formal Commencement ceremony was held in 1815 for six seniors, although two students who had transferred to Hamilton became the College’s first graduates a year earlier. In 1816, 17 students received their diplomas, representing the first graduating class to attend Hamilton for four years.

For about 70 years starting in 1815, every senior spoke at Commencement, a ceremony that lasted all day and was held in the church on the southern end of the Clinton Village Green. As reported in On the Hill: A Bicentennial History of Hamilton College, most of the students who attended Hamilton in its early years were from Oneida County and elsewhere in New York, with the rest coming from New England, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.

The Hamilton College Class of 2023 has representation from 41 states, the District of Columbia, and 14 countries. We ­congratulate the graduates and are delighted to welcome their families and friends from around the country and the world to the College’s 211th Commencement ceremony.

BIENVENUE Bienvenue à la cérémonie de remise des diplômes de Hamilton College, honorant nos étudiants et étudiantes finissant leurs études en 2023.

Hamilton College a été reconnu par les autorités de l’État de New York en 1812. Bien que deux étudiants aient reçu leur diplôme en 1814 après avoir intégré notre école, la première cérémonie de remise des diplômes officielle s’est tenue en 1815 pour six étudiants. En 1816, dix-sept étudiants ont terminé quatre années d’études à Hamilton College et ont reçu leur diplôme. À partir de 1815, et pendant environ 70 ans, chaque étudiant s’adressait au public lors de la cérémonie de remise des diplômes qui durait toute la journée et était tenue à l’église au sud de Clinton Village Green. Comme le rapporte Sur la colline : un rapport historique du bicentenaire de Hamilton College (On the Hill: A Bicentennial History of Hamilton College), la plupart des étudiants de Hamilton College durant ces premières années venaient du comté d’Oneida et d’ailleurs dans l’État de New York, tandis que le reste des étudiants venait de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, de la Pennsylvanie et du New Jersey.

La promotion de 2023 de Hamilton College vient de 41 États, du District de Columbia et de 14 pays. Nous félicitons les étudiants et étudiantes recevant leur diplôme et sommes très heureux d’accueillir leurs familles et amis de toute provenance des États-Unis ou de l’étranger à la 211e cérémonie de remise des diplômes de Hamilton College.

BIENVENIDOS Bienvenidos a la ceremonia de graduación de Hamilton College en honor a la Clase del 2023.

Los Regentes del Estado de Nueva York fundaron el Hamilton College en 1812. La primera ceremonia formal de graduación se llevó a cabo en 1815 para seis estudiantes, aunque dos alumnos que se habían transferido a Hamilton el año anterior se convirtieron en los primeros graduados de la institución un año antes. En 1816, 17 estudiantes recibieron sus diplomas, representando la primera generación graduada que asistió a Hamilton durante cuatro años.

A partir de 1815, durante 70 años, todos los alumnos graduados hablaron en la Graduación, una ceremonia que duraba todo el día y se llevaba a cabo en la iglesia de Clinton en el Village Green. Como se informa en On the Hill: Una historia bicentenaria del Hamilton College (On the Hill: A Bicentennial History of Hamilton College), la mayoría de los alumnos que asistieron a Hamilton en sus primeros años eran del condado de Oneida y de otras partes de Nueva York, y el resto provenía de Nueva Inglaterra, Pensilvania y Nueva Jersey.

La clase del 2023 de Hamilton College tiene representación de 41 estados, el Distrito de Columbia y 14 países. Felicitamos a los graduados, y estamos encantados de dar la bienvenida a sus familias y amigos de todo el país y del mundo a la ceremonia de graduación número 211 de la institución.

FACULTY RETIREMENTS

BRIAN COLLETT Having joined the Hamilton faculty in 1986, Professor of Physics Brian Collett collaborates with his colleague Gordon Jones on projects in nuclear physics. Their work has included the development of compact 3He neutron spin filters for use in neutron scattering, and they are participants in the aCORN experiment, studying neutron decay at the National Institutes of Standards and Technologies. Collett and Jones are responsible for the magnetic and electric fields in the experiment and have contributed extensively to the data collection and analysis. Collett, who previously served as a staff fellow at the National Institutes of Health, received his doctorate from Princeton University and master’s and bachelor’s degrees from Cambridge University, England. He is the 2008 recipient of Hamilton’s Samuel and Helen Lang Prize for Excellence in Teaching.

HARVEY S. CRAMER Harvey Cramer joined Hamilton’s Biology Department as a lecturer in 1999 following a 29-year career as a biology and chemistry teacher in the Utica City School District. In 2003, he became supervisor of introductory laboratories and later assistant professor of instruction in biology. He holds a master’s degree from Syracuse University and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan.

DEREK C. JONES Professor of Economics Derek Jones joined the Hamilton faculty in 1972. His work, which focuses on the economics of participation, led him to undertake some of the first empirical analysis of long-established worker cooperatives and firms with employee ownership and profit-sharing. The inaugural recipient of Hamilton’s Career Achievement Award in 2008, he has been supported in his research by the National Science Foundation, the Russell Sage and Rockefeller foundations, and the National Council for East European Research. Jones’ expertise has led to visiting professor or fellow positions at the Helsinki School of Economics, London Business School, Pembroke College (Oxford University), Hitotsubashi University, and Copenhagen Business School. He is the author of more than 140 journal articles and book chapters, and has written or edited eight books, including the first six volumes in the series Advances in the Economic Analysis of Participatory and Labor Managed Firms. Jones earned his doctorate from Cornell University, a master’s degree from London School of Economics, and a bachelor’s degree from Newcastle Upon Tyne. He has served as the onsite director of Hamilton’s Program in New York City and worked closely with many students on their theses, several of which have resulted in publications.

TODD W. RAYNE Todd Rayne is the Joel W. Johnson Family Professor of Environmental Science in the Geosciences Department and director of the Environmental Studies Program. His current research involves using environmental tracers numerical modeling to study the impacts of urbanization on ground water flow systems. He also is involved with modeling ground water flow through fractured aquifers and wellhead protection studies. Rayne is the author of two solution manuals for hydrogeology textbooks and has published papers in Hydrogeology Journal, Nordic Hydrology, and Northeastern Geology and Environmental Science. He received his doctorate and master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a bachelor’s degree from Montana State University. Before joining the Hamilton faculty in 1993, he worked as a geologist and hydrogeologist in the petroleum and environmental consulting industries. Rayne has served as Hamilton’s faculty athletics representative to the NCAA since 2011.

FACULTY RETIREMENTS (continued)

BARBARA J. TEWKSBURY Barb Tewksbury, the Upson Chair of Public Discourse and professor of geosciences, is a structural geologist and lead principal investigator of the Desert Eyes Project, which combines analysis of satellite imagery with field work and geophysics to study bedrock structures in the Western Desert of Egypt. Her team discovered the first extensive on-land exposure of polygonal faults, a style of faults previously studied almost exclusively in the subsurface using marine seismic data. For the past decade, she and her Egyptian colleagues, along with more than 20 Hamilton students, have mapped a network of synclines in the region. Tewksbury, who joined the Hamilton faculty in 1978, is a leader in national geoscience education. She has conducted more than 150 workshops for faculty across the country and abroad, and was co-principal investigator of a 15-year National Science Foundation-funded education project. Having served as associate editor of the Journal of African Earth Sciences and Geosphere, she is a lead classroom instructor for NASA astronaut geoscience training and one of four primary field trainers. She earned Hamilton’s Career Achievement Award in 2017, and holds a doctorate and master’s degree from the University of Colorado and a bachelor’s degree from St. Lawrence University.
