Vespers and Inauguration Program by Saint Vincent College

The Jubilee Medal of St. Benedict St. Benedict (born at Nursia, Italy, in 480) founder of the Order of St. Benedict, had a profound veneration for the Holy Cross and for our Savior. From the early Middle Ages he was held in great veneration and it followed that a medal was struck, one side of which represents St. Benedict holding the Cross in one hand and the Holy Rule in the other. Around the image of St. Benedict are these words in Latin: “May his presence protect us in the hour of death.” The reverse of the medal shows the image of the Cross. Around the margin are the initials of Latin words which form verses that originated with the Holy Father Benedict himself. The English translation is: “Be gone Satan! Suggest not to me thy vain things. The cup thou profferest me is evil; drink thou thy poison.” In the angles formed by the arms of the Cross are the letters C.S.P.B., signifying “Cross of the Holy Father Benedict.” The letters on the Cross itself have this meaning: “May the holy Cross be my light; let not the dragon be my guide.”

A Gift from Saint Vincent… Please accept this blessed Medal of St. Benedict as a memento of the Installation of our new President. May it also serve as a token of our appreciation for your participation in the events of this festive day. Through the intercession and prayers of our Holy Father St. Benedict, may this Medal be a symbol of faith and devotion as you strive to be transformed into the likeness of Christ. May St. Benedict be for you a witness to the life of the Gospel and a model of service for the good of all.

Account for the hope that characterizes your lives (cf. 1 Peter 3:15) by living the truth which you propose to your students.â&#x20AC;? Meeting with Catholic Educators Washington, DC 17 April 2008

The Most Rev. Lawrence E. Brandt, J.C.D., Ph.D. Bishop, Diocese of Greensburg

“Catholic colleges are an important part of the church’s education apostolate. One cannot fully form young people without forming them spiritually as well as intellectually. It is only when educational rigor and excellence take place in an environment centered on the teachings of Christ and his church that young men and women are fully formed as human beings and can learn how to put their faith into action to help others. That full and integrated formation happens here at Saint Vincent College. We wish Brother Norman God’s blessings and great success as Saint Vincent’s new leader.”

Dear Friends of Saint Vincent College With the inauguration of Brother Norman W. Hipps, O.S.B., as the Seventeenth President, we are engaged in an academic ritual that establishes, renews, and strengthens the covenant-community that is called Saint Vincent: a Catholic, Benedictine College of the Liberal Arts and Sciences. The ritual of the inauguration of Brother Norman as our new president provides us with an opportunity to renew and strengthen this covenant relationship. What characterizes this academic community of Saint Vincent which Brother Norman is now called to lead? In its deepest core, Saint Vincent strives to be a covenantcommunity of hope. This hope, grounded ultimately in trust of Divine Providence, has primal roots in the hope of the Hebrew people living in slavery under the Pharaoh. It is rooted in the hope of Christ, dying on a criminal’s cross, that God’s provident care cannot be defeated by evil or by death. Our community of hope is bonded to the hope of Saint Benedict, who amidst the chaos of the disintegration of the Roman Empire, founded communities of hope. These became seedbeds of a renewed civilization. Abbot Boniface Wimmer, with a small band of monks, founded this community of hope in the midst of an American culture strongly affected, then as now, by nativism and racism. The Saint Vincent mission of education was to help new immigrants learn how to become full contributing members of their new American community, without rejecting the covenant of their Catholic community. Needless to say, our nation and our world are desperately in need of communities of hope today. Many people are living on the edge of despair as they experience the tragedy of war and the poverty resulting from global economic turmoil, as well as disasters like the oil spill into the Gulf of Mexico. It is only as a community of hope that we ourselves will not be paralyzed by fear, cynicism, indifference, or despair; but will be able to prepare and inspire our students to become instruments of hope for the life of the world. Brother Norman has been generous and steadfast in his service to Saint Vincent College over the years. His wisdom and experience provide a solid foundation for the college as we continue to meet the challenges of higher education to benefit every aspect of life in an increasingly interdependent world. Brother Norman enjoys a strong reputation in our community as a mathematics professor and as an administrator who reaches out to help others. For example, he has been a leader in an outreach program to assist local school districts in strengthening math and science programs for students and teachers. As an administrator, he has played a major role in developing the Sis and Herman Dupré Science Pavilion, a world-class facility to prepare future scientists and health care professionals who will make significant contributions in our society. I am confident that under the leadership of Brother Norman, Saint Vincent College will continue to engage in dialogue on the meaning of our work which will result in strengthening this community of hope in fulfilling its mission in creating a new future based on trust in the biblical revelation of God’s love.

Sincerely,

+Douglas R. Nowicki, O.S.B. Archabbot and Chancellor

Dear Friends, Brother Norman is an outstanding teacher, a dedicated Benedictine, an experienced administrator and a compelling leader. He brings extraordinary patience and wisdom. He will meet the Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s academic needs and much, much more. His quiet personality, his love for Saint Vincent and his demonstrated commitment to community service and to the values and teachings of the Catholic Church, bring together in one unique individual the qualities needed to take Saint Vincent College successfully into the future. The Board of Directors is grateful that Brother Norman accepted this exciting challenge and we celebrate with him today the ceremonial beginning of his service as President of Saint Vincent College. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I extend our promise of support and look forward to all that we will achieve together for this outstanding college. Sincerely,

Mr. J. Christopher Donahue

Chair, Board of Directors, Saint Vincent College

President and Chief Executive Officer, Federated Investors, Inc.

Dear Friends, Thank you so very much for all of your kind words, your support of me in this new position, and your presence here today. As I embark on this journey as President, I reflect back to our founder, Boniface Wimmer, and his vision for establishing a college to provide quality education in the Benedictine tradition. I am honored to have been entrusted to help carry forward Wimmer’s vision into the future. As President, I intend to remain faithful to the values that Wimmer embodied, to the Benedictine ideal of an educational institution as a “community of learners,” and to the spirit of hope inspired by our faith. In Wimmer’s words, “my heart is in this work, and I will spare no expense to teach the students first what is necessary, then what is useful and finally what is beautiful so long as it contributes to their refinement.” For more than thirty-five years, my heart and my mind have been engaged in teaching mathematics to our students. The math majors whom I have taught in the abstract algebra course were some of the most capable and best prepared students I have ever met, and it has been a distinct pleasure to work with them to find solutions to complex mathematical problems. Several of these alumni—and their alumni children—have joined us for this celebration. I look forward to supporting our faculty from all departments to find ways to enhance teaching and learning at Saint Vincent and to enrich the lives of our current and future students. I also plan to continue Boniface Wimmer’s commitment to educating a broad and diverse group of students. As members of the Saint Vincent community, we are familiar with Wimmer’s dedication to serving the poor, immigrant families living in the region and his unwavering belief in the transformational impact of education. This commitment was extended to all parts of the country through monasteries and schools which Wimmer established as foundations of Saint Vincent. Many of these schools are represented here today. Our community is founded upon a shared “love of learning and the desire for God.” My hope is for Saint Vincent to remain a community of learners where people can work together inside and outside of the classroom and where people can grow together in knowledge and in wisdom. Thank you for being part of this noble work and joining me on this incredible journey.

Sincerely,

Br. Norman W. Hipps, O.S.B., Ph.D. President

Have no anxiety, but in every prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your petitions be made known to God. And may the peace of God which surpasses all understanding guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. For the rest, whatever things are true, whatever honorable, whatever just, whatever holy, whatever lovable, whatever of good repute, If there be any virtue, if anything worthy of praise, think upon these things. And what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, these things practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

with a state-of-the-art facility for science education. The first phase of construction is complete with the opening of the core building last month. Further renovations will be made over the next two years. A member of the faculty since 1972, the Associate Professor of Mathematics has served in many administrative roles at the College including Provost (1987-2002); Academic Dean (1980-1987); Director of the Opportunity Program (19781980); Campus Minister (1976-1978);

and Director of Project Headway (19721974). At Northwestern University he was Campus Minister (1974-1976). In each of his appointments, Brother Norman has shown the same concern and respect for the student who is barely making it, as for the student who seems to be on the fast track to a successful future. He brings this to his presidency. Throughout the years he has been involved in a number of community outreach programs, including the Small Business Development Center, Drug and Alcohol Prevention Projects, and BRIDGES (an NSF funded college/ school/business partnership to improve mathematics and science education). Brother Norman served as the Chair of the Steering Committee for the Monastery Run Improvement Project, a stream restoration and environmental education initiative for southwestern Pennsylvania, and on the Steering Committee for the Loyalhanna Mine Drainage Coalition, a collaboration of more than 70 members dedicated to improving abandoned mine drainage in streams of the Loyalhanna Watershed. In addition, he serves as the Higher Education Team Leader of the Math Science Partnership of Southwest Pennsylvania, a 7-year (2003-2010), $18 million program funded by the National Science Foundation that focuses on improvement of student (K-16) achievement in mathematics and science.

As Dean of The Herbert W. Boyer School of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Computing, Brother Norman has established partnerships with Excela Health to offer a Doctoral Program in Health Sciences and the Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University to introduce a major in Bioinformatics and a Biotechnology Outreach Program for local high schools. Brother Norman is a 1961 graduate of Saint Vincent Preparatory School. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy from Saint Vincent College in 1966. He made simple profession of Monastic vows on July 2, 1963 and solemn profession of vows on July 11, 1966. He did graduate studies in theology at Saint Vincent Seminary from 1966 to 1969, earned a Master of Arts degree in mathematics in 1972 from Northwestern University, and a doctorate in mathematics from Northwestern in 1976. He served on the Board of Directors of the Eastern Westmoreland Development Corporation and the Latrobe Area Chamber of Commerce. He is a member of the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America. Brother Norman was born July 10, 1943 in Carrolltown, Pennsylvania. He is a son of the late Blanche (Lieb) Hipps and George Russell Hipps. He has one brother, George E. Hipps, Pâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;52, of Williamsburg, Virginia.

About Saint Vincent College

rother Norman W. Hipps, O.S.B., seventeenth president of Saint Vincent College, heads one of the top liberal arts colleges in the Northeast. A four-year, coeducational, Catholic, liberal arts and sciences college sponsored by the Benedictine Monks of Saint Vincent Archabbey, Saint Vincent is the first Benedictine foundation in the United States, founded in 1846. Saint Vincent is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and occupies a 200-acre suburban campus in Unity Township, near Latrobe, Pennsylvania, 35 miles east of Pittsburgh on U.S. Route 30 East. A diverse student population of nearly 2,000 undergraduate and graduate students hails from 26 U.S. states/ territories and 12 foreign countries. Nearly 80% of full-time students reside on campus. Saint Vincent College’s quality educational programs have earned national recognition, most recently by

U.S. News and World Report (First Tier of National Liberal Arts Colleges) and Forbes business magazine (America’s Best Colleges). Saint Vincent College’s approach to education is rooted in a core curriculum that provides all students with a broadbased education which provides a general body of knowledge in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and mathematics, an interdisciplinary view of that knowledge base, and the skills to increase that general body of knowledge throughout their lives. Saint Vincent takes special pride in its more than 12,000 alumni who live in all 50 states and 28 foreign countries. They serve society in the fields of business management, education, finance, medicine, religion, law, government, sales, engineering, computer technology and many others. Athletes at the College compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Presidents’ Athletic Conference.

Saint Vincent College Mission Statement

aint Vincent College is an educational community rooted in the tradition of the Catholic faith, the heritage of Benedictine monasticism, and the love of values inherent in the liberal approach to life and learning. Its mission is to provide quality undergraduate and graduate education for men and women to enable them to integrate their professional aims with the broader purposes of human life. The programs, activities, and encounters that make up student life at Saint Vincent College encourage the intellectual gifts, professional aptitudes and personal aspirations of students to mature harmoniously.

The Ten Hallmarks of Benedictine Education

o be sure, a school is a different social and cultural entity than a monastery. However, an institution of higher education founded and sponsored by a Benedictine monastery cannot help but be influenced by the fundamental concerns of the monastics. Therefore the core values that animate their life—love, prayer, stability, conversatio, obedience, discipline, humility, stewardship, hospitality and community— find a home in Benedictine colleges and universities and can be seen as hallmarks of educational vitality and fidelity to their mission. To the extent these hallmarks shape a pattern of life for the campus community, they foster a particularly fruitful—and particularly Benedictine— engagement with the Catholic intellectual tradition. There is no single way to embody these hallmarks. They cannot be decreed. Instead, as the members of a Benedictine educational institution reckon with them in pursuit of their own deepest educational goals, they sink their roots into their particular place in the broader Church and culture. As they do so, a more expansive life emerges for all, the collective result of a surprising transformation of individual human hearts and minds.

Academic Attire

The academic attire worn today 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 gown served to set students apart from their fellow citizens, hence the perennial differences between “town and gown.” Until after the Civil War, student at most 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; bachelors’ gowns to be made of worsted stuff with pointed sleeves; masters’ gowns of silk with long closed sleeves; doctors’ gowns of silk with longer sleeves, and faced with black velvet from hem to neck and back. They also carried three velvet bands around each sleeve from the elbow. Hoods were made of the same materials as the gowns, the length varying with the degree. Only the lining of the hood indicated the college or university by its colors. The border of the hood indicates the academic discipline in which the degree was earned. The hood is longest for the doctorate; its color reveals the academic field and its lining, the degree granting institution. The color facing the hood indicates the following disciplines:

Brown: Citron yellow: Dark blue: Gold: Green: Lemon yellow: Light blue: Light brown: Lilac: Olive: Orange: Peacock blue: Pink: Purple: Scarlet: White: Yellow:
