'Aui;ust jnd Daanhcr (omhmed
Today you complete the jour-
ney that was undertaken sev-
eral years ago, arriving
proudly at the threshold of a
new life. When you look back, can you see
how this journey has changed you? As you
sit here today, what events stand out in your
mind as experiences that showed you which
path to travel?
We have each followed a unique path but
have reached a common destination. As
seniors, it is easier to list the ways in which
we are different from each other than the
ways in which we are bound together.
We are accustomed to describing students in groups — commuters, residents; members of
ethnic, religious or professional organizations; students in particular departments and coUeges.
These differences should be admired and respected as should the many qualities we share.
From this point, you can reflect on past journeys. Remember what you learned along the
way about who you are and what you are capable of achieving.
Know that your time spent at the University of Maryland will help you arrive at your next
destination. Finally, always consider our campus to be another home, a stop on vour life's jour-
ney to which you can always return.
Congratulations!

THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
A Bold New Era
From its pre-Civil War roots as the
state's 6rst agricultural college and
one of America's original land
grant institutions, the University of
Maryland, College Park, has
emerged as a public research um-
versity of national stature, highly
regarded for its broad base of
excellence in teaching and
research. The momentum of recent
years has poised the university to
move into the top ranks of higher
education and take leadership in
shaping the research university of
the 21st century.
The university' 's commitment
to quahty education m a research
environment is key to its academic
reputation and the success of its
graduates. The research enterprise
infiises the curriculum at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels.
exposing students to the most
pressing issues and challenges in
their discipUne and training them
to respond with rigor as well as
creativity to contemporary prob-
lems.
There are 13 schools and col-
leges within the organizational
structure of the University of
Maryland. Seven of these units —
the Smith School of Business, the
College of Education, the Clark
School of Engineering, the Col-
lege of Journahsm, the College of
Computer, Mathematical and
Physical Sciences, the College of
Information Studies and the
School of Pubhc Affairs —
have been recognized by their
peers and in various rankings as
among the 25 best in the nation.
Various academic specialties in the
College of Arts and Humanities
and the College ot Behavioral
and Social Sciences are also ranked
among the 25 best and the School
of Music has been ranked 30th
nationwide. The breadth of this
excellence is a source of pride for
students, faculty and staff, and is
endorsement for the university's
flagship status among the state's
institutions of higher education.
The university has enjoyed a
period of rapid advancement in all
ot the areas that affect quahty. The
qualifications of entering students
have risen each year for the past
10 years, and SATs now range
from 1170 to 1330 for the mid-50
percent tier of students. In fall
2000, 507 first year students scored
above 1400 on their SATs. Spon-
sored research and outreach has
doubled in the same 10-year
period, and has reached $284 mil-
lion for FYOO. Private giving has
increased even more dramatically,
from S 1 8 million per year at the
start of the decade to $71 miUion
in FYOO. Alumni Association
membership has been growing at
an average rate of 1 0 percent a
year since 1992. Coupled with
renewed commitment from the
state of Maryland for funding flag-
ship initiatives, these factors ensure
that the university will continue
on a forward trajectory for many
years to come.
One of the largest research
universities in the United States,
current enrollment stands at
24,638 undergraduate and 8,55 1
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

graduate students. There arc 1 10
undergraduate programs, 100 mas-
ter's programs and 70 doctoral
programs, and more than 1 00 cen-
ters and institutes engaged in
research and outreach.
The university has licensed
more than 750 technologies since
1986, and has been issued 135 U.S.
patents. An average of two new
invention disclosures each week
are received by the Office of
Technology Liaison, a reflection of
the pace of innovative technolo-
gies being created at the university.
Faculty at the University of
Maryland, in all fields of knowl-
edge, are engaged at the highest
levels ot national and international
concern. The university's location
near the center of federal policy-
making and international political
and economic activity enables it to
play an active role in research and
analysis of public policy. Strong
links to the scientific and techno-
logical agencies and organizations
of the federal government drive
research in the environment, engi-
neering, physics, computer science,
life sciences and agriculture. Schol-
arship in the arts, humanities and
social sciences is marked by the
spirit of intellectual diversity and
mterdiscipHnary collaboration.
Maryland is one of the
research universities in the presti-
gious 61 -member Association of
American Universities and the
only public institution in the
Maryland-D.C. area with member-
ship in the nation's most distin-
guished honor society. Phi Beta
Kappa. It is classified as a
Research-! university by the
Carnegie Foundation by virtue ot
the range of its baccalaureate pro-
grams, the amount of federal sup-
port received, and the number of
doctoral degrees awarded each
year, sharing that honor with the
top research universities in the
country.

History
The University of Maryland was
founded in 1807 in Baltimore as a
faculty-owned College of Medi-
cine. The medical school was con-
sidered one of the top schools in
the country, attracting notable pro-
fessors and lecturers from through-
out the world. In its beginning,
tuition cost $140, grades were sent
home weekly to parents, and stu-
dents could obtain room and
board for $300 annually.
Five years later, the growing
institution was renamed the
In fiscal year 2(11 111. sponsored icscaivli and outre.ich awards to
the Universitv of Maryland totaled more than $2S4 million.
The universirv' collaborates with more than 280 businesses
through its Maryland Industrial Partnerships piugrani.The
universitNs incubator has spawned 2<l new Lomp.iiiics; three
have been recognized as among the fastest growing iii the
state.
Rankings continue to reflect Maryland's rising reputation.
In the latest U.S. News & World Report look at undergradu-
ate schools, the Smith School of Business and Clark School
of Engineering were among the top 25, and the university
was selected among the top 25 public universities. Graduate
programs m education and engineering were top 25 pro-
grams, .md the Smith School had its management and
inforination systems program ranked m the top 10. Further,
the Smith School was rated No. 2 m the world by the
l-)nathi,il I'liih'.^ (or its information technology program.
iiA/in;,);;i)i 's "Best Colleges for Asian Americans" ranked the
university 10th in the nation.
Maryland was among 27 doctoral granting institutions to
be honored by the Quality Education for Minorities Net-
work. The honor is based on the number ot university doc-
toral degrees awarded to people of color in the fields ot
mathematics, the physical sciences and engineering.
The uni\ersit^ was cited as ah "exemplary program" by Tlie

Center arena, beginning in the 2l "12-2003 school year.
Comcast Corp. made a $20 million naming rights gitt that
enables the state and universin,' to proceed with construc-
tion. It is the largest single donation ever to the flagship
campus.
WINTER COMMENCEMENT
THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
University of Maryland. Despite
the name, the university was not
considered a state institution as it
was still owned and operated by
faculty. Baltimore College of
Dental Surgery, the first dental
school in the world, became a part
of the university in 1840, awarding
the first Doctor of Dental Surgery
P.D.S.) degree in 1841.
In 1859, the Maryland Agri-
cultural College, which would
evolve into the University of
Maryland, College Park, was
opened under a charter secured by
a group of Maryland planters in
1856. In addition to spending one
hour each day hoeing or plowing
on the college farm, students took
a broad range of courses in ancient
and modern languages, natural sci-
ences, English and mathematics.
After a disastrous fire on campus in
1912, the state acquired the college
and rebuilt it.
In 1920, the state legislature
combined the College Park insti-
tution with the professional
schools in Baltimore to form an
expanded University of Maryland.
The entity eventually grew to
include campuses in Baltimore
County, the Eastern Shore and
University College, a continuing
education institution.
The following decades saw the
increasing growth of student pop-
ulation, excellence in programs
and curricula, and the burgeoning
of the University of Maryland,
College Park, into a nationally rec-
ognized research institution.
July 1 , 1 988, marked the dawn
of a new era in higher education
m the state of Maryland, as the five
components of the university were
merged with six other state uni-
versities and colleges to form the
University of Maryland System,
and College Park secured its flag-
ship status with a mandate to
become one of the pre-eminent
research universities in the nation.
The Alumni Association
With alumni clubs fi-om Miami to
Taipei, Taiwan, the Maryland
Alumni Association strives to keep
and strengthen ties between the
university and its graduates. Mem-
ber events such as pre-game par-
ties, bull roasts, picnics, golf
tournaments, dinner cruises and
subscriptions to College Park maga-
zine and the biannual Maryland
Alumni supplement help keep
alumni connected to the university
and to each other. All graduating
seniors and successfiil master's and
Ph.D. candidates receive a one-
year free membership in the
Maryland Alumni Association.
The Alumni
The University of Maryland
Alumni Association Hall of Fame

Customs of Commencement
Early commencement ceremonies
at the University of Maryland
were marked with great fanfare
and celebration. The faculty gave
huge banquets for the graduates
the night before the event. The
following morning, crowds gath-
ered to watch the young graduates
parade. It was a gala social occa-
sion, attracting not only friends
and relatives, but the fashionable
elite of the day. At the ceremony,
prayers were recited, speeches were
made, and honorary degrees were
awarded to distinguished figures
from across the country. Finally, as
the audience cheered and threw
flowers, the graduates came for-
ward to collect their Latin-
niscribed degrees.
Academic Costume
The black caps and gowns worn
by the students and faculty in the
academic procession have been the
traditional costume of scholars
since the Middle Ages. The ordi-
nary dress of the scholar, whether
student or teacher, was similar to
that of a cleric. Caps and gowns
were probably worn to keep stu-
dents warm in unheated buildings.
Many medieval scholars were ton-
sured, like monks, and hoods
served to cover their shaved heads
until the skuU cap later took its
place.
Even after the Civil War, most
students at American universities
wore caps and gowns daily while
in residence. These varied in
design until they were standardized
by the American Intercollegiate
Commission in 1894. At that time
It was decided that all robes would
be black. Colors on the trim of
the gown were also standardized to
indicate the scholar's academic dis-
ciphne.
A list of department colors follows:
Agriculture: Maize
Arts, Letters, Humanities: White
Business Administration,
Conmiercial Science: Drab
Dentistry: Lilac
Economics: Copper
Education: Light Blue
Engineering: Orange
Fine Arts, Architecture: Brown
Forestry; Russet
Home Economics: Maroon
Journahsm: Crimson
Law: Purple
Library Science: Lemon
Medicine: Green
Music: Pink
Nursing: Apricot
Oratory, Speech: Silver Gray
Pharmacy: Olive
Philanthropy: Rose
Philosophy: Dark Blue
Pubhc Administration, Foreign
Service: Peacock Blue
Pubhc Health: Salmon
Physical Education: Sage Green
Science: Golden Yellow
Social Work: Citron
Theology and Divinity: Scarlet
Veterinary Sciences: Gray
The tassel may also be colored
to represent an academic discipline
or it may be black. Officially, the
tassel is permitted "to lie where it
will" on the mortarboard. How-
ever, numerous institutions have
adopted the practice of having
degree candidates wear the tassel
on the right front side at the start
of the commencement ceremony
and then shift them to the left side
after degrees are awarded.
Student Marshals
Elected through a nomination
process, student marshals are
senior leaders who play an impor-
tant role in the graduation cere-
mony. Student marshals assist in
organizing the thousands of grad-
uates, leading them smoothly
through the commencement pro-
cession. They also supply extra
caps and hoods, and bobby pins to
keep headwear secure. December
2000 marshals are hsted on page 68
of this booklet.
Senior Gift
The senior gift is a university tra-
dition dating back 90 years. The
first senior gift, the iron gate
entrance at the Rossborough Inn,
was given by the Class of 1910
(although the gate itself was not
erected until 1941). To commemo-
rate their time at the University
of Maryland, the Class of 2000 has
ITER COMMENCEMENT
THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
voted to present the university-
with a freestanding clock structure,
which will be placed in front of
the newly renovated Stamp
Student Union.
The purpose of the senior gift
is twofold. Each year the senior
class leaves behind a memorable
legacy for new students and visi-
tors, and provides the university
with a gift that enhances the cam-
pus atmosphere.
Past senior gifts have included:
the Testudo statue (Class of 1933).
the hghts around the "M" in the
traffic circle on Campus Drive
(Class of 1986), restoration of the
Chapel chimes and clock face
(Class of 1992) and the Bronzed
Seal on North Gate House (Class
of 1995).
Academic Degrees
A degree is awarded for the suc-
cessful completion of a course of
study. There are more than 1,600
different academic degrees cur-
rently conferred by colleges and
universities nationwide. The Uni-
versity of Maryland offers degrees
in 102 undergraduate majors, 100
master's programs, and 70 doctoral
programs.
The Doctor's Degree
The doctor's degree represents the
most advanced earned degree con-
ferred by American institutions.
There are two distinct types: the
practitioner's degree and the
research degree. The first type rep-
resents advanced training for the
practice ot various professions,
principally Doctor of Medicine,
Juris Doctor, Doctor of Pharmacy,
and Doctor of Veterinary Medi-
cine. These degrees do not involve
the completion of original
research by the student. The Uni-
versity of Maryland, at the profes-
sional school in Baltimore,
awarded the first two dental
degrees ever on March 9, 1841,
and invented the name of the
degree. Doctor of Dental Surgery
(D.D.S.).
The University of Maryland
conveys the Doctor of Veterinary
Medicine (D.V.M.) to approximately
90 students each year in a program
that was instituted in 1980. Gradu-
ates receive a diploma containing
the seals of both the University of
Maryland and its partner institu-
tion, the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State University.
The second type is the research
doctorate representing prolonged
periods of advanced study. A dis-
sertation that usually accompanies
the study is intended to contribute
substantially to the body of knowl-
edge on the subject. The most
important of these, the Doctor of
Philosophy, no longer has an
imphcation of philosophy for its
holder, but represents advanced
research in any of the major fields
of knowledge. It was first awarded
in the United States in 1861 by
Yale University. The University of
Maryland awarded a Ph.D. for the
first time in 1920.
The Master's Degree
The master's degree is an academic
honor bestowed upon students
who have successfiilly completed
work beyond the baccalaureate.
A thesis and an oral examination
are usually required. In 1920, the
University of Maryland awarded its
first Master of Arts (M.A.) and
Master of Science (M.S.) degrees
in fields other than agriculture.
The Bachelor's Degree
The bachelor's degree represents
the completion of a four-year
course of college-level study and is
the oldest academic degree
awarded by American institutions
of higher learning. It was first con-
ferred in America in 1 642 on the
first nine graduates of Harvard
College. Maryland Agriculture
College, which later became the
University of Maryland, College
Park, awarded its first Bachelor of
Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Sci-
ence (B.S.) in 1862.

GRADUATING STUDENT SPEAKER
Hciitlicy C.
When Heather C. King addresses her peers on December 21, she will have
reached a goal that began well before her graduation from high school at
age 16. "I began saving for college when I was 13 years old," she says. The
eldest of five children, she is the first in her tamily to earn a college degree. After a year at
Prince George "s Community College, King entered the Universit\- ot Maryland as a College
Park Scholar and an Honors student.
Despite an active life on and off campus. King achieved a perfect 4.0 grade point average,
earning academic honors every semester. Typically matter-of-fact, she attributes her academic
success to her English language and literature major. "I found those writing and thinking skills
useful in everv class," she says. Those who work with her tell a fiiUer stor\'.
"She is a remarkably talented and versatile person, one of the three brightest young scholars
I have encountered." says Karen L. Nelson, associate director of the Center for Renaissance &
Baroque Studies. "And her work ethic is extraordinary." In addition to her job at the center as
program coordinator and webmaster. King tutors high school students, teaches Sunday School
and volunteers in a pregnancy crisis intervention center. Says Nelson, "Her intellectual curios-
irs' seemingly knows no bounds, and yet she remains focused upon what is required."
For King graduation isn't simply a capstone to an illustrious undergraduate career. After a
well-deserved year off, she plans to attend graduate school in chnical counseling. "I believe that
every stage of Hfe is a stepping-stone to something new. We are all works in progress."
