Guest Speakers

Samuel D. Hunter, 33, is a Moscow native and playwright known for crafting moving portraits of unlikely protagonists that explore the human capacity for empathy through the prism of his characters’ struggles. Hunter received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from New York University in 2004 and a Master of Fine Arts degree in 2007 from the University of Iowa. He also earned an Artist Diploma from Julliard’s Playwrights Program in 2009. In 2014, Hunter received a MacArthur Fellowship, a prize awarded annually to individuals who show exceptional merit and promise for continued and enhanced creative work. In 2013, his play “The Whale” — one of his most widely produced works — received the Drama Desk Award, the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play, and Drama League and Outer Critics Circle nominations for best play. The play focuses on Charlie, an expository writing instructor who has been driven by grief to a state of morbid obesity. Samuel D. Hunter A writing assignment on Melville’s Moby Dick becomes a leitmotif that resonates throughout the play, as its lonely and adrift characters move toward a deeper understanding of the hopes and motivations that propel one another. Hunter premiered three new plays during the 2013–14 season — “The Few,” “Rest” and “A Great Wilderness” — that continue his interest in the poetry of everyday speech and the aspirations of those seldom celebrated on the stage, from a staff of outcasts who run a newspaper for lonely, long-haul truckers to the octogenarian residents of a rest home days away from shutting down. Hunter’s quietly captivating dramas confront the polarizing and socially isolating aspects of contemporary life across the American landscape. Hunter, who now lives in New York City, is an ensemble playwright at Victory Gardens, a core member of the Playwrights Center, a company member of Partial Comfort Productions, and an alumnus of Ars Nova’s Playgroup. Internationally, his work has been translated into Spanish and presented in Mexico City and Monterrey, and he has worked in the West Bank with Ashtar Theatre of Ramallah and Ayyam al-Masrah of Hebron. Hunter is also a 2015 honorary degree recipient of the Doctor of Humane Letters, in recognition of his contributions as a visionary scholar, author, playwright, and a most distinguished son of Idaho.

The WWAMI Medical Education Program is offered in partnership between the University of Washington School of Medicine and the host universities throughout the five-state regional system. Medical students from Idaho complete their first year of training at the University of Idaho, Moscow campus, then complete the remainder of their training in Idaho and throughout the five-state WWAMI region. Historically, the UI WWAMI Program was offered jointly with the Washington State University WWAMI Program. First-year students were given the opportunity to learn from combined biomedical faculties, while making use of the teaching, research and training facilities on both campuses. UI WWAMI students also complete their first clinical training rotations with local physicians, clinics and hospitals in Moscow and the Palouse.

S i g n i f i c a n c e o f A c a d e m i c A pp a r e l and Symbols of Investiture University of Idaho Academic Mace Maces date to the Middle Ages and symbolize strength and authority. Each is unique and reflects the values and characteristics of the institution. The University’s chief marshal who leads all academic processions carries the mace. The University of Idaho’s mace, used for the first time at the centennial commencement, is 32 inches long, made of walnut and encircled with bands of Idaho gold and silver in which Idaho garnets and opals have been inlaid. The head is embellished with silver and gold representations of camas plants and syringa flowers. The chair of the University’s Faculty Senate, the marshal of the academic procession, carries the mace in the American tradition, at a 45-degree angle across the chest, while in England, the bearer carries it over the shoulder.

University of Idaho Academic Apparel By observing certain features of the academic apparel, it is possible to learn several things about the academic status of the scholar: the level of the degree attained, the branch of learning in which it was earned, and the college or university conferring the degree.

University of Idaho President’s Medallions The first medallion was created by Idaho artists George and Macky Roberts. The President’s Medallion was first used in 1965 at the inauguration of Ernest Hartung, the University of Idaho’s 12th president. The medallion’s base is a three-and-a-halfinch disc of pure Idaho silver. Mounted on the base is a disc of native jasper; a sterling silver sunburst is inlaid in the disc. Inside the sunburst is a modification of the Chinese character meaning “mountain,” which features three upward-pointing prongs. Over the center prong is a gold inlay, thus symbolizing “Light on the Mountain.” The heavy medallion is worn suspended from a collar woven of Idaho wool, some of which is dyed with dahlia flowers to match the jasper and some of which is from a black sheep. The second President’s Medallion, worn during commencement by then President Timothy P. White, was commissioned in 2004. This medallion’s base is a gold-leafed University seal and is worn suspended by a chain with gold leaf charms, each representing the Presidents who have served the University.

Hoods Gowns The gowns differ according to the level of the degree. The sleeves are the principal indicator—gowns of bachelor’s have pointed sleeves; those of master’s have oblong sleeves with an arc cut away at the front; and doctors have round, bell-shaped sleeves. Bachelor’s and master’s gowns are untrimmed. Doctoral gowns have distinctive velvet facing down the front and three velvet bars on each sleeve. The University of Idaho adopted a doctoral gown of its own in 1989. The silver gown has a panel and sleeve bars of black velvet outlined in antique gold. The beret-styled soft cap is patterned after the Cambridge version instead of the traditional Oxford-style mortarboard. The cap and gown were designed by Emeritus Professor Edmund Chavez in the University’s centennial year and are worn today by officials and university administration.

The length of the hood also varies according to the level of degree. The bachelor’s gown is worn without a hood. A master’s hood is three and onehalf feet long, and a doctor’s hood is four feet in length and has panels at the sides. It is from the colors adorning the hood that one can learn two other facts. Lining: the hood is lined with the official color or colors of the college or university conferring the degree (silver and gold, signifying the University of Idaho). Trimming: the hood is trimmed with velvet of a color appropriate to the wearer’s branch of learning. For example, the trimming for the degree of Master of Science in Agriculture is maize, representing agriculture, rather than golden yellow, representing science. (In the case of the Doctor of Philosophy degree, the dark blue color is used, representing the mastery of the discipline of learning and scholarship, regardless of the branch of learning.) Colors associated with the different disciplines are listed below: Agriculture............................................ Maize Arts, Letters, Humanities......................White Commerce, Accountancy, Business..........Drab Economics...........................................Copper

Honor Cords

Education....................................... Light Blue

Honor Cords, worn around the neck and hanging loosely down the front, identify students who are graduating with honors: gold, summa cum laude (with highest distinction); silver, magna cum laude (with great distinction); and bronze, cum laude (with distinction). The cords are provided by the University of Idaho and are worn on this one occasion only.

Engineering......................................... Orange Fine Arts, including Architecture.......... Brown Forestry................................................ Russet Journalism......................................... Crimson Law...................................................... Purple Music.......................................................Pink

Caps

Philosophy......................................Dark Blue

The color of the tassel worn on the cap varies with the level of degree. The bachelor’s tassel represents the color appropriate to the major field of study (see colors at right); the master’s and specialist’s tassels are black; and the doctoral tassels are old gold.

Physical Education........................Sage Green Public Administration................ Peacock Blue Science.....................................Golden Yellow

“ H e r e W e H av e I d a h o ” 1 Alma Mater, the hope of a pioneer race; You’re fashioned of dreams and of toil, Your walls and your towers by stout-hearted men Were raised from the rock and the soil. Chorus And here we have Idaho, Winning her way to fame; Silver and Gold in the sunlight blaze, And romance lies in her name; Singing, we’re singing of you, ah, proudly too; All our lives through we’ll go singing, Singing of you, Alma Mater, our Idaho.

2 Now ours is the heritage, rich and so full, The gain of their toil and their tears; And ours is the fruit, and the harvest is ours, Oh, Idaho, gift of the years. Chorus And here we have Idaho, Winning her way to fame; Silver and Gold in the sunlight blaze, And romance lies in her name; Singing, we’re singing of you, ah, proudly too; All our lives through we’ll go singing, Singing of you, Alma Mater, our Idaho.
