Welcome to Marietta College’s one hundred and seventy-sixth Annual Commencement
ith roots that reach back to the 18th century Muskingum Academy, Marietta College was officially chartered on February 14, 1835, by the State of Ohio as an institution charged with educating youth in all the various branches of the liberal arts and sciences. From the beginning, Marietta has been an independent, nonsectarian liberal arts college. Today’s graduates share a common foundation of courses in written and spoken communication and have been required to acquire a coherent experience in several fields of study. Moreover, each has pursued an in-depth study of a discipline in one or more of the nearly 50 undergraduate or graduate programs. Marietta College grants degrees to these individuals, confident they have been readied to exercise their callings with competence and to fulfill their civic and social responsibilities with understanding. The men and women receiving degrees today will join more than 25,000 living Marietta College alumni as members of The Long Blue Line.
Commencement Speaker Carl Bernstein
F
ew journalists and authors in American history have had the impact on an era quite like Carl Bernstein. His name became part of the political lexicon while teaming with fellow Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward on their award-winning investigative reporting of the Watergate scandal in the early 1970s. The coverage set the standard for modern investigative reporting, for which Bernstein, Woodward and the paper were awarded the Pulitzer Prize. Bernstein, who joined The Washington Post in 1966, teamed with Woodward to write the book “All the President’s Men,” in 1974 on their reporting of Watergate. Two years later it was made into a movie. The two reporters also co-wrote “The Final Days,” about the end of the Nixon presidency. He left The Washington Post in 1977 to write for Rolling Stone and joined ABC News in 1979 as its Washington bureau chief. In 1981 he became a senior correspondent for ABC News in New York, remaining with the network until 1984. In 1990, he joined Time magazine as a writer and provided early coverage of the Gulf War and later wrote a cover story that alleging an alliance between the pope, President Ronald Reagan and the CIA to topple Poland’s communist regime. Bernstein continued to author magazine articles, commentary and books, as well as appeared on television discussing the use and abuse of power in politics. In the 1990s, Bernstein wrote a ground-breaking papal biography on Pope John Paul II, and in 2007 he wrote a national bestseller, “A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton.” Bernstein is writing a memoir about his time at the Washington Star, where he started as a 16-year-old copy boy and eventually became a reporter. He is developing a dramatic TV series about the dysfunctional Congress with director Steven Bochco for Turner Broadcasting. He lives in New York with his wife and is the father of two sons, one a journalist and the other a rock musician.
As a courtesy to the graduates and those in attendance today, please turn your cell phones to vibrate. We also ask that any family photographer remain in their seat when taking photos or go to the assigned area off to the left of the stage.
