Commencement 2006

Message from the President Dear Graduates, Families, Friends, and Colleagues, We gather here today to celebrate the University of Vermont Class of 2006 and the many accomplishments of our graduates. Commencement is a time to look back on our shared experiences and to look ahead. Graduates, this is my “senior” year too; I came to UVM in the summer of 2002, and my first fall semester was the first for most of you. I hope your experience over the last four years matches mine in being rich with memories worth cherishing. So many moments come to mind—distinguished speakers such as Barack Obama, Antonin Scalia, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Bishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa—remarkable art shows at the Fleming Museum such as the Andy Warhol show (punctuated by one of many great concerts, by Warhol’s old collaborator Lou Reed), the Rembrandt show, and this spring’s Goya show—the launch of the Honors College—the expansion of the University to include the Trinity Campus—not to mention many other memorable events that riveted UVM and Vermonters (the Red Sox World Series victory, the muddy farewell concert of Vermont’s own Phish, and that shining, unforgettable moment when the Catamounts upset mighty Syracuse in the NCAA tourney, to cite just a few highlights). The last four years have also seen the rapid growth and change of this campus. Your patience throughout these important construction projects will be rewarded, I hope, when you look back with pride on the enhanced value of your alma mater in the years to come. It is also a time to recognize the contributions of our extraordinary faculty, who in many respects simply are the University, and of our talented and dedicated staff, indispensable colleagues on whom we all depend. The University of Vermont is a rich and complex community. The UVM family includes more than 100,000 graduates, including nearly 90,000 living alumni whose ranks will swell today. The Alumni Association will keep you connected and informed through the Vermont Quarterly, alumni events, and more. Families and friends, thank you for the support and care you have provided the graduates throughout their time at the University. You share in their accomplishment and success. On behalf of all of my colleagues, please allow me to say that we feel deeply moved and privileged to share this moment of pride and achievement with you.

Commencement 2006

SPEAKER AND DEGREES HONORIS CAUSA Gustavo Esteva Doctor of Laws Commencement Speaker Gustavo Esteva is a prominent Mexican writer and social activist whose life has been a multi-faceted, courageous, and pioneering intellectual journey. Esteva is the author of 30 books and scores of articles that have made significant contributions to scholarly fields from economics to cultural anthropology, philosophy to education. A strong voice for indigenous people, campesinos, and urban migrants, the core of Esteva’s thought is a challenge to the validity of social systems that subordinate traditional community values and institutions to the priorities of the global marketplace. Intercultural communication, a discipline dedicated to the theory and practice of hospitable and rigorous cross-cultural encounters, is a major focus for Esteva and a field where he is regarded as an international authority. He is also among the intellectual founders of the field of post-development studies, an interdisciplinary study of alternatives to Western forms of development. The late philosopher and theologian Ivan Illich was influence, friend, and collaborator with Esteva. In one of most important books, Escaping his Education, Esteva expands upon Illich’s work by bringing a nonWestern cultural perspective to the analysis of modern education as a dehumanizing endeavor. Esteva, who now lives in a small Zapotec village outside the city of Oaxaca, began his career in a very different place. As a young man in the 1950s, he started work with international corporations such as IBM and Procter & Gamble, believing that capital progress was the best way to eliminate poverty and inequality in Mexico. In 1961, Es

teva moved to the public sector, convinced that the government was a more effective way to promote social change. His career in the Mexican government included work under the 1970s presidency of Luis Echeverria, where Esteva rose to become director of a national rural development agency. A pivotal moment in Esteva’s career and philosophy came with the earthquake that struck Mexico City in 1985. Where the government’s response fell short, Esteva found that those most affected by the crisis, the poor and the marginalized, organized quickly and effectively. Inspired by the examples of communities exercising their collective will, Esteva began to orient his life toward working to support the selfdetermination of peasant and indigenous communities. Gustavo Esteva’s connection to the University of Vermont began in the mid-1990s when several faculty members in the College of Education and Social Services read Escaping Education and began a correspondence with the author. That relationship would ultimately grow into many cross-disciplinary connections with UVM faculty and an innovative semester-long studyabroad program in Mexico. Esteva’s assistance in Oaxaca has been vital to creating opportunities for UVM faculty and students to learn firsthand how indigenous communities are organized and experience the ongoing political and cultural revitalization within those communities. Graham Stiles Newell Doctor of Humane Letters Bringing the classics to life for generations of Vermont students has been the work of a lifetime for Graham Stiles Newell, a teacher, historian, and scholar who inspires students with his passion for sharing the knowledge of the ancients even

in the age of the Xbox and iPod. A seventh-generation Vermonter born and raised in St. Johnsbury, Newell is a 1933 graduate of St. Johnsbury Academy, where he began teaching history and Latin in 1938 after completing his bachelor of arts in political science at the University of Chicago. He remained at the Academy until 1947, when he returned to Chicago for his master’s degree in Latin, resuming his teaching career in 1959 as a professor of history at Lyndon State College in Lyndonville, Vermont, where he remained for the next two decades. A professor emeritus at Lyndon State, he received the LSC Alumni Council Faculty Recognition Award in 2004, the same year the college established the Graham Newell Chair in Vermont History, its first named chair, in his honor. In addition to his life’s work as a teacher, Newell served a total of 26 years as a Vermont citizen legislator — in both the House and the Senate — and was chair of the Senate Education Committee for 20 years. Newell was also president of the Vermont Historical Society from 1964 to 1969. Newell returned to the classroom at St. Johnsbury Academy in 1982, where he continues today to inspire successive generations of students with his flair for teaching and obvious delight in students’ discovery of subjects animated by his insight and intellect. The recipient of numerous awards for his service to his state and his profession, Newell was selected in 1999 for the prestigious Vermont Citizen of the Year Award. Presented annually since 1964 by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce, the award elevates its recipient to the “short list” of Vermonters who represent the finest ideals of Vermont citizenship. The Vermont Humanities Council recognized Newell’s contributions to education in 2003 with its


Commencement 2006

first Victor R. Swenson Humanities Educator Award, given annually to a Vermont educator who exemplifies excellence in the teaching of the humanities. “All I can say about Graham is that he is the best Latin teacher anyone could ask for,” says William J. Baslock, a 2004 graduate of UVM and a former student of Newell’s at St. Johnsbury Academy. “Mr. Newell’s life and works, and especially his influence on his students, characterize the very meaning of studiis et rebus honestis.” Elizabeth Cushman Titus Putnam Doctor of Laws As a student at Vassar College, Elizabeth Cushman Titus Putnam learned about the crisis occurring in the national park system: not enough rangers were employed to take care of the parks and not enough money was assigned to hire more rangers. In 1955, Putnam’s senior thesis, “A Proposal for a Student Conservation Corps,” conceived of a program that would provide opportunities for young people to learn about environmental conservation and put their knowledge to work by volunteering in national parks. After two years of hard work with a broad coalition of supporters and allies, Putnam founded the Student Conservation Association (SCA), an organization based on those principles. Since then, the SCA has grown to become the largest conservation service program in America, placing volunteers in locations as diverse as Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park to the Merck Forest and Farmland Center in Vermont. Eventually, the organization would place volunteers in all 50 states and internationally in Canada, Mexico, Germany, Brazil and several other countries as well. A pioneering force in the world of conservation, SCA helped win Congressional approval of the

Youth Conservation Corps in 1971 and served as the model for the National Park Service’s Volunteers in Parks program in 1972. By 1982, Putnam’s leadership in conservation and youth development won her national acclaim as recipient of the President’s Volunteer Action Award, presented by Ronald Reagan. SCA has been recognized for its achievements by the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, the Wilderness Society, and the National Wildlife Federation, among others, and works with other land management agencies and service organizations including the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and AmeriCorps. In the 1980s, Putnam was a member of the UVM President’s Council and has served as board member for numerous state and local organizations, including the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps, the Shaftsbury Historical Society, the Southern Vermont Conservation Society, the Vermont Nature Conservancy, and the Vermont Natural Resources Council. Today, her dedication to conservation continues as Ambassador-at-large for the SCA, a member of Merck Forest and Farmland Center’s Advisory Council and the National Board of Associates for the Garden Club of America. Putnam’s work has won her multiple awards and honors including the U.S. Department of the Interior Conservation Service Award, the National Park Service Honorary Park Ranger Award, the Sol Feinstone Environmental Award, the Rotary International Paul Harris Fellow, the Chevron Texaco Conservation Award, and the Margaret Douglas Medal from the Garden Club of America among others. Barbara W. Snelling Doctor of Laws Few Vermonters have contributed more to the advance of educa-

tion, business, and government in this state than Barbara W. Snelling. A two-term lieutenant governor and founder and president of an institutional advancement consulting firm, Snelling has been a leader in both the public and private sectors. Following the 1991 death of her husband, Richard A. Snelling, during his fifth term as governor, Barbara Snelling was elected lieutenant governor in 1993 and 1995. She ran for governor in 1996, but was forced to withdraw due to a life-threatening cerebral hemorrhage. Her recovery and courageous comeback to politics as a Vermont state senator from 1997 to 2002 has served as a source of inspiration and strength throughout the state. Snelling has been involved in public service all of her life with a particular affinity for public education. She was the first chair of the board of Champlain Valley Union High School and a member of the Shelburne School Board. She also served on the State Board of Education and as president of the Vermont School Board Association. A trustee of Radcliffe College, from which she graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, Snelling has received honorary degrees from Norwich University and Middlebury College and was a trustee at Champlain College. In her professional life, Snelling provided outstanding leadership to the University of Vermont for eight years as vice president for development and external affairs. She later founded the institutional advancement consulting firm Snelling, Kolb & Kuhnle, Inc., an international company that specialized in helping nonprofit organizations with fundraising and public relations. She is an author of numerous books on fundraising and was a sought after public speaker at professional seminars on the subject. Snelling was founding chair of the Friends of the Vermont State


Commencement 2006

House, an organization that restored the capital building to its 19th-century grandeur, and was a director of the Chittenden Bank for 26 years and chaired the board for eight years. She also served on the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce, and her honors include being named the Vermont Chamber of Commerce’s Citizen of the Year. Hubert “Hub” W. Vogelmann Doctor of Science Hubert “Hub” Vogelmann has made a profound impact on the people and landscapes of Vermont. Professor Emeritus of Botany, Vogelmann’s career at the University began as an instructor in 1955. His decades of scientific study and public service have been a marriage to protect nature’s handiwork and to build rich human communities. During 36 years as a member of the UVM faculty, Vogelmann’s achievements were numerous. Renowned for his pioneering research on acid rain, he started a tree survey on Camel’s Hump in 1965. By

the early 1980s, he was powerfully drawing lines between air pollution and declining forest health. Never a cloistered academic, he has strongly advocated for science in the public interest and worked diligently to bring accurate, useful information to the media and elected officials. Dr. Vogelmann marvels at plants, from towering white pines to bizarre carnivorous bladderworts. His sense of excitement and rigorous methods guided generations of students to follow their own sense of wonder and to pursue careers in science. From the summit of Camel’s Hump to the bottom of Shelburne Pond, he sought to understand the intricate ecology of plants and convey their importance to the world. He established UVM’s internationally regarded graduate-level Field Naturalist Program, chaired the botany department for more than 20 years, and selflessly promoted the accomplishments of his colleagues. Vogelmann was born and raised in Buffalo, NY, and graduated from Heidelberg College, Ohio, with a bachelor’s degree in biology. He received his master’s and doctorate

in plant ecology from the University of Michigan in 1955. He and his late wife, Marie, raised three sons at their home in Jericho, including Thomas who has followed his father’s path and now serves as chair of UVM’s botany department. As a conservation activist, Vogelmann helped identify and protect many of the state’s rare natural places and botanical treasures, from the Northeast Kingdom’s Victory Bog to unusual tree stands in the Green Mountains. As part of this commitment, Vogelmann has served on numerous environmental boards, including the Conservation Fund, Shelburne Farms, the Vermont Natural Resources Council, Audubon Society, and others. He was a founder of the Vermont chapter of the Nature Conservancy and a force behind the creation of Vermont’s Act 250, a landmark development and land use law. Vogelmann’s principled leadership has helped establish Vermont as an exemplar in balancing land conservation and responsible development.

Commencement 2006

ACADEMIC REGALIA The Academic Costume worn today in U.S. colleges and universities is a survivor of the Middle Ages. The University of Vermont was among the first in this country to experiment with the use of academic gowns, requiring their wearing at the graduation of 1806. The experiment was not repeated until mid-century when UVM and other colleges began wholeheartedly to use the medieval scholar’s clothing for ceremonial occasions. The code regulating academic costume is adminis­tered by an intercollegiate commission that establishes uniform standards. BACHELORS’ gowns have closed fronts and long, pointed sleeves. MASTERS’ gowns may be worn open or closed and have oblong sleeves open at the wrist, the lower portion hanging down with an arc near the bottom. DOCTORS’ gowns may be open or closed and have velvet facings and three velvet bars on the round, open sleeves. The facings and bars may be of black or of the official colors of the wearer’s department of learning. Hoods are usually black. All are lined in silk in the academic color or colors of the institution conferring the degree, with a chevron for additional colors. A University of Vermont hood is lined with green, with a gold chevron, the official school colors. The color of the hood border indicates the degree earned.

The Class of 1927 Memorial Mace is carried by the University Marshal at formal university occasions and is displayed on the platform during these ceremonies. The Mace, a gift from the Class of 1927, is forty-seven inches long, cast bronze, plated in silver, with a black ebony handle. The sculpture on one of the four sides depicts the center section of Old Mill with Mt. Mansfield in the background, symbolizing the founding of the University. Other sides display three students reaching upwards to a lamp, symbolic of learning; the Ira Al­len Chapel, symbolizing spiritual guidance; and a group of four persons, symbolizing friendship. It is crowned by the seal of the University. The Mace was designed and the model sculpted by Richard Simpson, son of Carl G. and Doris Griffith Simp­son, both members of the Class of 1927.

The University Seal or Medallion was adopted in 1807 and used until 1871 when it was replaced by a round seal incorporating the name of the College of Agriculture. In 1975 the Board of Trustees voted to restore the original seal to official use, modified to incorporate the Latin name of the College of Agriculture. The motto on the seal is from Horace, Epistles 1.2.36. Literally, it means “For virtuous studies and matters.” In the allusion to Horace’s poem it reflects UVM’s continuing belief in the utility and practicality of all liberal studies.
