JOE CASTIGLIONE

Terry Tempest Williams is the author of some of America’s most celebrated environmental literary classics and is a leading voice for ecological consciousness and social change.

Her 1991 memoir, Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place, brought her international recognition and was followed by award-winning books on issues such as ecology and wilderness, including An Unspoken Hunger: Stories from the Field; Desert Quartet; Leap; Red: Passion and Patience in the Desert; The Open Space of Democracy; and Finding Beauty in a Broken World. She has also authored several poetry and essay collections. Among her honors are the Robert Marshall Award from the Wilderness Society, the highest honor it gives to American citizens; the Distinguished Achievement Award from the Western Literature Association; the Wallace Stegner Award from the Center of the American West; the David R. Brower Conservation Award for activism; the Sierra Club’s John Muir Award; and the Lannan Literary Award for Nonfiction. Williams is currently a writer in residence at Harvard Divinity School.

Joe Castiglione is in his 42nd season as a broadcaster on Red Sox radio, the longest tenure of any radio broadcaster in Boston sports history. He began his career calling televised baseball games for Cleveland and Milwaukee, and has also announced television games for the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers and college basketball games for NESN. During the offseason, Castiglione has taught broadcast journalism at Northeastern University, Franklin Pierce University, and Emerson College. He is the author of Broadcast Rites and Sites: I Saw It on the Radio with the Boston Red Sox, and Can You Believe It? 30 Years of Insider Stories with the Boston Red Sox. Castiglione was inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2014, and in 2022, the Fenway Park broadcast booth was officially named the “Joe Castiglione Booth.”

He was the 2024 recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award, presented annually for excellence in broadcasting by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. He is a dear friend of many Middlebury baseball fans and has deep ties to the College—his late Uncle Salvatore and Aunt Pierina Castiglione were Italian professors at Middlebury, and his sister, Cheryl, is a member of the Class of 1972.

Words by Charles B. Wright, Professor Emeritus of English, Hon DLitt, Class of 1915 Music by E. Pruda Harwood Wiley, Class of 1912

First sung at the Commencement Luncheon, June 20, 1917

When Gamaliel Painter died, He was Middlebury’s pride, A sturdy pioneer without a stain; And he left his all by will To the College on the Hill And included in a codicil a cane.

Chorus Oh, it’s rap, rap, rap, And it’s tap, tap, tap, If you listen you can hear it sounding plain; For a helper true and tried, As the generations glide, There is nothing like Gamaliel Painter’s cane.

Spir-ed chapel rising proudly, Morning hymn and evening bell.

chorus Middlebury, Alma Mater, Symbol of His strength and truth.

Symbol of His strength and truth. or

verse 2 Sunset glowing o’er the mountains Snowy peaks and winding ways Peaceful stillness o’er the campus Mem’ries of most happy days.

Middlebury, Alma Mater, Symbol of our strength and truth.

Symbol of our strength and truth.

An Abenaki prayer is offered by Jesse Bowman Bruchac, traditional storyteller, musician, and Abenaki language teacher. Abenaki was one of hundreds of languages spoken in North America before the arrival of settlers. In the words of Jesse’s father, Dr. Joseph Bruchac, Nulhegan elder, traditional storyteller, and author: “Our language is more than just a tool to communicate; it is also a repository of our history and our culture. It holds unique concepts and terms whose meanings deepen our relationship with and our understanding of the world around us, reminding us that everything is alive and imbued with spirit.”

MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE DIPLOMA

(English Translation) Middlebury College in the State of Vermont To all students of letters Eternal greeting in the Lord Be it now known to you that the President of the College, with the approval of our honored and esteemed Fellows, has dignified and graced ________________________________________________ with the title and rank of Bachelor of Liberal Arts, and has conferred on her/him all the privileges and honors pertaining thereto. Let the official seal of the College and the signature of the President bear witness to this act.

Issued at the College on the 26th of May, in the year of the Lord 2024, and in the 248th year of the American Republic.

THE SEAL

G A M A L I E L PA I N T E R ’ S C A N E

T H E M E DA L L I O N

The official seal of Middlebury College shows an open book, with simple marks for letters. The College’s motto, Scientia et Virtus (Knowledge and Virtue), is written on either side of the book.

Around the edge of the seal are four abbreviated Latin words: Coll. Med. Virid. Mon. Their full form is Collegium Medioburiense Viridis Montis; in English, Middlebury College of Vermont.

Gamaliel Painter’s cane is one of the most treasured artifacts of the College.

Once the walking stick of the founder of both the Town and the College, today it is carried by the president in the academic procession. It serves as the College’s mace and as a symbol of institutional strength and character.

The president will present to members of the Class of 2024 a replica of the original cane, reminding the graduates that they go forward from Middlebury with the strength and character of the College always at their side.

The presidential medallion, which is worn on all ceremonial occasions, carries the official seal of Middlebury College on the obverse and the name of the current president and date of inauguration on the reverse. The first presidential medallion was presented to Samuel S. Stratton by the Board of Trustees upon his inauguration as the 11th president of Middlebury College in 1943.

ACADEMIC REGALIA The academic regalia, which originated at Oxford and Cambridge Universities in England in the 1300s, has been in use in the United States since colonial days, although not until the 1890s was there a decided movement toward greater use of the academic regalia by senior classes, trustees, and faculties. In 1895, representatives of American schools codified standards for academic dress with the establishment of the Intercollegiate Dress Code.

as the mortarboard. The tassel may either be black or reflect the scholarly subject, although only doctor’s degree recipients may have gold thread. A different style cap, the Cambridge cap, resembles a large beret.

THE GOWN

The flowing gown comes from the 12th century. While it originally may have been worn as protection against the cold of unheated buildings, today it has become symbolic of the democracy of scholarship, for it covers any dress of rank or social standing. Traditionally it is black for all degrees.

The bachelor’s gown is relatively simple, with long, pleated front panels, and intricate shirring across the shoulders and back. The gown is worn closed and is distinguished by its long, pointed sleeves.

The master’s gown has the same yoke effect but is designed to be worn open. It has a very long sleeve, oblong in shape with an arc cut out of the bottom of the front. The oblong is closed at the base and the forearm protrudes through a notched slit at the elbow.

Gowns for the doctor’s degree are also designed to be worn open, but carry five-inch-wide velvet panels, which extend all the way to the bottom of the garment.

Three horizontal velvet bars are stitched on the upper arm of the full, round, bell-shaped sleeves. This velvet trimming may be either black or the color distinctive of the faculty to which the degree refers.

In recent years a number of universities have adopted alternative robes using their traditional school colors, such as crimson for Harvard, blue for Yale, slate gray for Columbia, maroon for Chicago, and cardinal red for Stanford.

THE HOOD

The hood is the most distinguishing feature of all academic costumes. Originally, it seems to have had three uses: as a hood covering; as a shoulder cape; or, when hung from the shoulder, as a bag in which alms could be collected.

The size and shape of the American hood mark the college degree of the wearer. The hood’s outside is bordered with velvet of the proper width to indicate the degree and the proper color to indicate the department or field of study. Thus, a degree conferred as Bachelor of Arts requires the white of arts, letters, and humanities, whereas the Bachelor of Science degree requires the yellow of science.

The shapes of the bachelor’s hood and the master’s hood are similar, the former being three feet in overall length and the latter three and one-half feet. The doctor’s hood has a base that is rounder and has an overall length of four feet. The respective widths of the velvet borders are two inches for the bachelor’s, three inches for the master’s, and five inches for the doctor’s hood. The covered lining on the inside of the hood is the official color or colors of the institution conferring the degree. Where there is more than one color, the second color is usually represented by a chevron, a wide stripe across the background color, or field. Thus, the inside of the Middlebury hood has a blue background with a white chevron.

Members of the governing board of the degreeconferring institution normally wear the doctor’s gown, but their hoods represent only such degrees as are actually held.

THE CAP

When the slave was freed by Roman law, he won the privilege of wearing a cap. The academic cap is a sign of freedom of scholarship and the responsibility and dignity with which scholarship endows the wearer.

Old poetry records the cap of scholarship as square to symbolize the book. The cap worn almost universally in academic processions is the Oxford cap, better known
