“O God Our Help in Ages Past” William Croft
O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come; Our shelter from the stormy blast And our eternal home. A thousand ages in Thy sight Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night, Before the rising sun. Time like an ever rolling stream Bears all its sons away, They fly forgotten as a dream Dies at the opening day. O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come; Be Thou our guide while life shall last, And our eternal home. Introduction of Speaker Installation Speaker

“Speak, O Lord” Speak, O Lord, as we come to You To receive the food of Your Holy Word. Take Your truth, plant it deep in us; Shape and fashion us in Your likeness, That the light of Christ might be seen today In our acts of love and our deeds of faith. Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us All Your purposes for Your glory. Teach us, Lord, full obedience, Holy reverence, true humility; Test our thoughts and our attitudes In the radiance of Your purity. Cause our faith to rise; cause our eyes to see Your majestic love and authority. Words of pow’r that can never fail— Let their truth prevail over unbelief. Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds; Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us— Truths unchanged from the dawn of time That will echo down through eternity. And by grace we’ll stand on Your promises, And by faith we’ll walk as You walk with us. Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built And the earth is filled with Your glory.

Hail to thee our Alma Mater, Praises from each son and daughter, Pledges of love and honor Grove City still shall own, Pledges of love and honor Grove City still shall own, Pledges of love and honor Grove City still shall own. Tho’ the land and sea may part us, Far remove thy towers and campus, Staunch and true there dwells within us, All the spirit of thy life, Staunch and true there dwells within us, All the spirit of thy life.

T H E H O N . PA U L J . M C N U LT Y ’ 8 0 Paul J. McNulty ’80 is Grove City College’s ninth President. His new calling follows a long and distinguished career as an attorney in public service and private practice and valuable experience in higher education. President McNulty is a former U.S. Deputy Attorney General and is Of Counsel with the global law firm Baker & McKenzie. He oversaw the prosecution of terrorists in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, set policy for prosecuting corporate fraud, and is considered a leading expert on business ethics, corporate governance and internal investigations. McNulty is the fourth alumnus to serve as President of the College, where he studied history and met his wife, Brenda (Millican ’80). At Baker & McKenzie, McNulty led the firm’s global corporate compliance and investigations practice. He has been recognized by the National Law Journal as one of the top 50 “Trailblazers and Pioneers in Corporate Governance and Compliance,” selected as the sole recipient of Ethisphere Magazine’s “Hall of Fame” designation in its 2014 “Attorneys Who Matter” rankings, and listed as one of “2014’s Most Influential People in Business Ethics.” He is widely known for his leadership at the U.S. Department of Justice, where he served as the Deputy Attorney General, the second highest-ranking official in the Justice Department and the chief operating officer leading more than 100,000 employees. He chaired President George W. Bush’s Corporate Fraud Task Force, successfully argued a police conduct case before the U.S. Supreme Court, organized the U.S. rule of law efforts in Iraq, and authored the so-called “McNulty Memo,” which served as a milestone statement on the federal prosecution of business organizations. McNulty was confirmed by the Senate as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia three days after the Sept. 11 attacks and, as the chief law enforcement authority in one of the country’s most important federal districts, was subsequently entrusted with many high-profile terrorist prosecutions. He held other positions at the Department of Justice and received the Edmund J. Randolph Award, the Department’s highest honor. McNulty’s career includes 11 years as a senior lawyer on Capitol Hill where he served as Counsel for the House Ethics Committee, the Chief Counsel and Director of Legislative Operations for the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, and Chief Counsel for the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Crime. McNulty served on the Grove City College Board of Trustees from 2004 to 2014, chairing the Enrollment and Student Affairs Committee for six years. Following his Commencement Address in 2007, he received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater; he received the Jack Kennedy Memorial Alumni Achievement Award in 1998. He also served the College as an adjunct instructor in the Political Science Department from 1994 to 2001. He was awarded an honorary LLD in 2003 from Capital University School of Law where he received his juris doctorate in 1983. He also served as a Presbyterian elder for 28 years and as a youth basketball coach. He sits on the Board of Directors of the Ethics Resource Center. The McNultys have three daughters and two sons-in-law, Katy McNulty ’07 and Jonathan Hittinger, Anni and Hub Blankenship, and Corrie McNulty ’14. Their son, Joseph, died of cancer in 2012 at the age of 26 while attending law school. They are expecting their first grandchild at the time of the Inauguration.

ACADEMIC REGALIA Academic regalia in higher education is steeped in history. The robes, hoods, caps and tassels worn today show the variety and vibrancy of the degrees earned and institutions attended. The academic robe had its origin in the 12th and 13th centuries when scholars dressed similar to clerics. Robes are generally black in color but may vary if an institution chooses to do so. Doctoral robes are closed in the front and include three chevrons on bell-shaped sleeves. Master’s robes may be worn open or closed in the front with a long, plain, slender sleeve. The academic hood is perhaps the most lively piece of the academic regalia. Hoods represent through colors the institution and the discipline of the degree earned. Institutional colors appear on the inside lining of the hood, while the external, solid-colored, velveteen band shows the discipline, which includes light blue for education, orange for engineering, purple for law, pink for music, dark blue for philosophy, scarlet for theology and many more. The academic cap may take the form of the traditional square mortarboard or the fuller shaped tam depending on an institution’s preference. Tassels generally match the color of the discipline shown on the academic hood but may be either solid black or gold as is the case for doctoral regalia. Source: American Council on Education

THE MISSION OF GROVE CITY COLLEGE Since its founding in 1876, Grove City College, committed to Christian principles, has striven to be equal in academic quality to the finest four-year colleges. It seeks to provide liberal and professional education of the highest quality that is within the reach of families with modest means who desire a college that will strengthen their children’s spiritual and moral character. When the College was chartered, a broad, Christian-based cultural consensus prevailed in America. By charter, the doors of the College were open to qualified students “without regard to religious test or belief.” The founders of Grove City College, consciously avoiding narrow sectarianism, held a vision of Christian society transcending denomination, creeds and confessions. They were committed to the advancement of free enterprise, civil and religious liberty, representative government, arts and letters, and science and technology. Believing that the fruits of civilization would be destroyed if religious and ethical roots were allowed to wither, the founders intended that the claims of Christ as God and Savior and of inspired Scripture be presented to all. They hoped that through its program of intellectual, moral and spiritual education, Grove City College would produce young leaders, whatever their creed or confession, capable of pushing civilization forward on every frontier. Grove City College remains true to the vision of its founders. Rejecting relativism and secularism, it fosters intellectual, moral, spiritual and social development consistent with a commitment to Christian truth, morals and freedom. Rather than political, ideological or philosophical agendas, objective truth continues as the goal of liberal learning. The core of the curriculum, particularly in the humanities, consists of books, thinkers and ideas proven across the ages to be of value in the quest for knowledge. Intellectual inquiry remains open to the questions religion raises and affirms the answers Christianity offers. The ethical absolutes of the Ten Commandments and Christ’s moral teachings guide the effort to develop intellect and character in the classroom, chapel and co-curricular activities. And while many points of view are examined, the College unapologetically advocates preservation of America’s religious, political and economic heritage of individual freedom and responsibility.
