John Benson Doctor of Humane Letters honoris causa
John Benson, known by all as Fud Benson, you have dedicated your working life and the labor of your hands to the preservation and expansion of the art of the letter, one of the essential elements of human civilization. From your apprenticeship to your father, John Howard Benson, in the John Stevens Shop at age fifteen and your studies in sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design, you commenced a lifetime of study and innovation. By honoring the work of nameless artisans through the millennia, by respecting the honest and enduring achievements of Newport’s colonial carvers, and by continuing the heritage of your own family to resurrect and reinvent a significant lost art, you have ennobled and refined this tradition in our own time. You stand in an unbroken chain of generations, of making and reinventing. Learning the art of stone carving from your father, you assumed the direction of the centuries-old John Stevens Shop. You passed the skill to your son, who passes the knowledge to future artists and artisans. While teaching the steady, patient working of the stone with brush, with hammer, with chisel, with attention to the light and focused vision, you also taught discipline, integrity, and faith in the value of making things. Among your countless commissions are the inscriptions for the John F. Kennedy Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery, the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery Alabama, the Prudential Center in Boston, the National Gallery of Art, the date stones of the Vietnam Memorial, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Armand Hammer Museum of Art in Los Angeles, the Carothers Library at the University of Rhode Island, the McKillop Library at Salve Regina University and the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial. You have carved the final marks for hundreds of individual lives, engraved the sorrows and celebrations of a people, and permanently incised the highest national aspirations into our common memory. Therefore, Salve Regina University is privileged to confer on you the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, with all its attendant rights and privileges, on this nineteenth day of May, 2013.

Nicholas W. Benson Doctor of Humane Letters honoris causa
Nicholas W. Benson, you have dedicated your working life and the labor of your hands to the preservation and expansion of the art of the letter, one of the essential elements of human civilization. From your apprenticeship to your father, John “Fud” Benson, in the John Stevens Shop at age fifteen and your studies in calligraphy, typography, and drawing at the Basel School of Design, Basel, Switzerland, you commenced a lifetime of study and innovation. Inspired by the work of anonymous hands in the classical past, honoring the legacy of passionate craft passed through your family, you have ennobled and refined this fundamental art for our own time. You stand in an unbroken chain of generations, of making and reinventing. Learning the art of stone carving from your father, who learned it from your grandfather, you assumed the direction of the centuries-old John Stevens Shop. Daily, you pass on the skill and dedication to future artists and artisans. While teaching the steady, patient working of the stone with brush, with hammer, with chisel, with attention to the light and focused vision, you also teach discipline, integrity, and faith in the value of making things. Among many commissions, your distinguished work may be appreciated at the National Gallery of Art, Brown University, Yale University, the Georgia O’Keefe Museum, and in Newport’s Queen Ann Square. Your hands proudly honored those who served our country in the monumental inscriptions of the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. To perpetuate the wisdom of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on his memorial, you married the traditions of the past to the requirements of the present, developing an original font that draws on both classical Greek forms and contemporary sans serif script. You brought honor and pride to your native Newport, Rhode Island when, in 2007, you were designated a National Heritage Fellow by the National Endowment for the Arts. In being awarded a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship in 2010, you were lauded for meticulously executed inscriptional works . . . noted for their uncompromising craftsmanship and beauty in form and line. Therefore, Salve Regina University is privileged to confer on you the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, with all its attendant rights and privileges, on this nineteenth day of May, 2013.

Academic Regalia When universities were taking form in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, they were under the jurisdiction of the Church. Most of those studying were clerks in Holy Orders, monks, or priests. They wore a habit or cloak, to which was attached a cowl or hood. This could be pulled up over the head or thrown back, according to the weather. Gowns were necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings, and hoods served to cover the tonsured head before the use of the skull cap. Today, the academic costume of cap, gown, and hood has taken on a symbolic meaning. Colors and shapes conform to a generally accepted code and indicate the faculty conferring the degree and the kind of degree conferred. Gowns for the bachelor’s degree are worn closed and are distinguished by their long, pointed sleeves. Master’s degree gowns are designed to be worn open. They have very long sleeves, oblong in shape. Gowns for the doctoral degree, usually black, are also designed to be worn open and have velvet panels. Three velvet bars are stitched to the upper part of the full, bellshaped sleeves. Hoods are trimmed with a slim strip of velvet to indicate the specific faculty awarding the degree. The colored lining is the official color of the institution conferring the degree. Hoods may be trimmed to represent the following academic areas:
Arts, Letters, Humanities...................White Business Administration ........Light Brown Education ...................................Light Blue Fine Arts ...........................................Brown Musical Arts .........................................Pink Philosophy .................................Dark Blue Science ...............................Golden Yellow Theology...........................................Scarlet

The Mace The mace and its bearer represent a custom that dates back to the Middle Ages. From the sixteenth century in England and since colonial days in America, it has become a symbol of office carried by the procession leader. In the academic world, the mace signifies teaching authority. The Salve Regina University mace was designed by Rhode Island sculptor Paul A. Cavanagh as an octagonal, formalized flower. The staff of ebony represents lignum vitae — the tree of life. A circle of eight rigid geometric forms of silver, peaked with pyramids of lapis lazuli, are representative of the Virtues. The Intellectual and Moral Virtues enable one to lead a fruitful and good life. The extending leaves of blossom deriving from the silver forms are symbolic of one’s development in the world. An inner circle of leaves, in close embrace with the central form, and pistil-like cruciform with crown, suggest one’s development in love of Christ and the cross.
The President’s Medallion The sterling silver medallion worn by the University President at all formal academic functions symbolizes the leadership and authority of the institution’s highest office. Handcrafted by John Cavanagh, the design is based on the University shield, which symbolizes the commitment of the Sisters of Mercy to Salve Regina University, the dedication to learning by all members of the Salve Regina community, and the unending search for wisdom that flows from the knowledge of the liberal scholar. Each link of the chain is a “Mercy Cross,” with a crown superimposed over the face of each cross.
