For the joy of human love,brother, sister, parent, child,friends on earth, and friends above,for all gentle thoughts and mild,Refrain For each perfect gift of thineto the world so freely giv’n,faith and hope and love divine,peace on earth and joy in heav’n,Refrain

GAUDEAMUS IGITURGaudeamus igitur, Juvenes dum sumus;post iucundam iuventutem,post molestam senectutem, nos habebit humus.

Ubi sunt, qui ante nos in mundo fuere?Vadite ad superos, transite ad infernos, ubi iam fuere?

Vita nostra brevis est, brevi finietur!Venit mors velociter, rapit nos atrociter, nemini parcetur.

DANIEL A. WHALEN ’70COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER

Born in Grand Forks, North Dakota, Dan Whalen grew up in Argyle, Minnesota (1960 population 789). He, his siblings and mother eventually moved to East Grand Forks, Minnesota, where he graduated from Sacred Heart High School, and then to St. Cloud, Minnesota, in the mid-1960s.

Following his graduation from Saint John’s in 1970 with a Bachelors of Science degree in Government, Dan worked on a factory assembly line, attended the University of Minnesota’s School of Public Affairs, served as a policy analyst at the federal government’s Administration on Aging, managed George McGovern’s presidential campaign in Minnesota’s sixth congressional district, was a policy analyst with the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, was director of health planning for New York state and served as a health policy specialist for Governor Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia.

After earning MBA and AM (food research) degrees from Stanford University in 1980, Dan worked at AT&T as a business marketing manager and as the first director of cellular telephone operations in New York State and New England. Following that, he was Vice President of Operations for Cellular One in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD. Since then, Dan has founded or co-founded a number of telecommunication or related service companies. He is currently chair and owner of Great Place to Work Institute, an enterprise that certifies and transforms organizations as great places to work; a partner in HTEC Group, a hardware and software development company; and President of the Whalen Family Foundation.

Dan has served Saint John’s as a member of the Board of Regents/Trustees since 1997 (including a term as chair from 2004-07), and was chair for the capital campaign One Generation to the Next, and co-chair for the most recent campaign, Forward Ever Forward. In 2005, Saint John’s presented to Dan the Fr. Walter Reger Distinguished Alumni Award.

When Br. Dietrich Reinhart, OSB, stepped down as President in October 2008 due to his health, the Board of Regents called upon Dan to serve as Interim President - a call which he accepted and then served until the end of the academic year. In recognition of his service and leadership, Dan was presented an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Saint John’s in October 2009.

Dan and his wife Katharine have supported numerous initiatives at Saint John’s over the years, including the Student Fund, the Eugene J. McCarthy Center for Public Policy & Civic Engagement, The Saint John’s Bible, the Benedictine Institute, faculty development, land acquisition and conservation, and scholarships for 49 students from Bosnia and Herzegovina who attended Saint John’s and the College of Saint Benedict. Their philanthropic generosity has also been extended to Saint John’s Abbey, Saint Benedict’s Monastery (St. Joseph, MN), Mount Saint Benedict Monastery (Crookston, MN), Laketrails, a summer camp in northern Minnesota, The Humphrey Institute at the University of Minnesota, and Anna Marie’s, a shelter for battered women in St. Cloud which was named in honor of his mother.

Dan and Katharine live in Oakland, California, and have three children, Matthew, Anna and Michael.

PHI BETA KAPPAFounded in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa is the nation’s first Greek-letter society and its oldest academic honor society. For more than two and a quarter centuries, the Society has embraced the principles of freedom of inquiry and liberty of thought and expression. “ΦBK” are the Greek initials representing the Society’s motto: “Love of learning is the guide of life.” Phi Beta Kappa celebrates and advocates excellence in the liberal arts and sciences. Its campus chapters invite for induction the most outstanding arts and science students at America’s leading colleges and universities. Each year, about one college senior in a hundred, nationwide, is invited to join Phi Beta Kappa.

SIGMA BETA DELTASigma Beta Delta recognizes scholarship and accomplishment among students of business, management and administration. Membership into Sigma Beta Delta is the highest national recognition a business student can receive at a college or university. To be eligible for membership, a student must rank in the top 20 percent of their junior or senior class and be invited by the faculty officers. CSB and SJU also require inductees to have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.75.

THE SEAL OF SAINT JOHN’S UNIVERSITY

To most people the seal of the University is perhaps merely a design on a notebook or sweatshirt, but embodied in this little seal are all the principles for which Saint John’s University stands. It is therefore worthy of closer inspection.

The first University seal was designed in 1934 by Reverend Angelo Zankl, OSB, who had done considerable work in heraldry. At the time he was the head of the Saint John’s Art Department.

A quotation from Saint Paul, “Induamur Arma Lucis,” meaning “Let us put on the armor of light,” was chosen as the motto for the crest. This theme is represented symbolically by a shield on which is emblazoned the golden sun of learning and grace displacing the darkness of ignorance and sin. Around the shield is thrown the red scroll upon which the Latin phrase is printed in blue, giving the school colors of truth and courage. Under the shield in Roman numerals is printed the date of the foundation of the school, in 1857. Bordering this is the Latin name of the University and finally an old Roman-style border.

In 1988 the University seal was revised and simplified to afford greater clarity particularly when printed in smaller sizes. Care was given in revising the design to ensure that the principles embodied in the seal were maintained. The revision was executed by Br. Alan Reed, OSB, who at the time, like Father Angelo in 1934, was head of the Art Department. Final touches were provided by graphic artist Donald Skoro of Minneapolis.

ACADEMIC REGALIAThe custom of wearing academic dress originated in the universities of the Middle Ages when a warm gown and hood were useful for scholar and cleric in unheated buildings. The distinctive apparel indicated the academic rank of its wearer. Most of the early academic garments were black, but by Renaissance times Oxford and Cambridge had added touches of color. The costumes worn at the universities of continental Europe became increasingly colorful. Academic caps of various shapes eventually superseded the hood as a head covering. At the end of the l9th century, American universities and colleges adopted a code for academic costumes and ceremonies. It is possible to recognize the degree granting institution, the degree, and the field of study of the person wearing academic regalia.

The gown designating the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science ordinarily is black with long pointed sleeves. The master’s gown has oblong sleeves. Bell-shaped sleeves crossed with three wide bands of velvet indicate the doctor’s gown.

The greatest degree of symbolism is shown by the hood. The color and width of the velvet border indicate the degree and field of study. The length of the hood varies with the degree, from three feet for the bachelor’s to four feet for the doctor’s. The bachelor’s hood is somewhat pointed in shape; the doctor’s is rounded. The official colors of the institution conferring the degree line the hood. The Saint John’s University Bachelor of Arts hood is lined with cardinal red and blue and is banded with white velvet and the Bachelor of Science hood is lined with cardinal red and blue and is banded with yellow velvet. The color of the velvet strip on the hood indicates the field of study in which the degree was earned or granted. Some of the faculty will be wearing gowns with distinctive colors: Harvard’s crimson; Chicago’s and Minnesota’s maroon; Yale’s blue; Cornell’s red; Stanford’s bright red; Brown’s brown; Oxford’s black and red.
