America The Beautiful

0 beautiful for spacious skies/For amber waves of grain . For purple mountain majesties/Above the fruited plain.

America! America! God shed His grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.

0 beautiful for patriot dream/That sees beyond the years. Thine alabaster cities gleam/undimmed by human tears.

America! America! God shed His grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.

A special "thank you" to the student honor escorts and ushers, the faculty and staff, and the 2000 Commencement Committee.

Music provided by Polished Brass.

Academic Dress

From the costumes worn in the academic procession one can tell the level of degree (associate's, bachelor's, master's, doctor's) the wearer has earned, the field of learning, and the institution that granted the degree. The costume con­sists of cap, gown and hood.

The usual cap is a square black mortarboard with a black tassel; the doctor's cap has a gold tassel. The gown is also normally black. Associate's, bachelor's and master's gowns are relatively plain and closed in front; the doctor's gown is cut fu ller, is open in front, has velvet panels down the front, and has three velvet bars on the sleeves. The panels and bars are usually black.

The hood, patterned after the medieval monk's hood, goes over the shoulders and hangs down in back. The hoods for the three degrees vary in length from the bachelor's the shortest, to the doctor's the longest. The velvet border shows by its color the field of learning; the most common are: white - arts, letters, humanities (usually seen in honorary doctor's degrees); dark blue - philosophy (the most common in doctor's hoods); purple - law; scarlet - theology; green - medicine; golden yellow - scierice. The same colors may be used in the panels and bars of the gown. The most distinctive part of the costume is the silk lining of the hood which bears the official colors of the institution granting the degree.

The awarding of a degree or certificate is subject to an academic audit.

Brian S. Kelly '90 Attorney

Brian S. Kelly '90 is an attorney with the firm of Christensen, Miller, Fink, Jacobs, Glaser, Weil & Shapiro in Los Angeles, California. He specializes in busi­ness and commercial liti gation in the areas of entertainment, intellectual property, securities and the environment.

The Cincinnati native graduated from Purcell Marian High School in 1987. He was awarded a basketball scholarship to play for Cincinnati State (then Cincinnati Technical College) from 1988 to 1990. He was captain of the squad during the 1989-90 season and was honored as First Team All Conference.

A business management major, Mr. Kelly was a Student Senate representa­tive and Student Senate President in 1989-90. One of the last recognitions he received before graduating from Cincinnati State was delivering the student mes­sage at the inauguration of the College's third president, Dr. James P. Long.

Mr. Kelly used his academic acumen and athletic abilities to transfer to Georgetown University where he was awarded a full scholarship to play basketball under John Thompson. He was named Georgetown's Scholar Ath lete of the Year in 1991-92, Big East Conference Academic All-Star in 1991 -92, and Defensive Player of the Year in 1991-92. He played on the 1991-92 Big East Conference Championship team, and he played in two NCAA tournaments.

The student athlete was on the Dean's List at Georgetown and selected to Who's Who Among American Students in 1991-92. Upon graduating from Georgetown in 1992, he was awarded a Dean's Citation.

Mr. Kelly became a paralegal in California and then entered Pepperdine University School of Law. While at Pepperdine he was awarded the Gunnar Nicholson Endowed Scholarship and the Edward D. Diloreto-Odell S. McConnell Scholarship. He earned Dean's List status and was the Student Bar Association Class Representative.

He graduated from Pepperdine's law school in 1997 and was admitted to the California State Bar.
