Michael A. Battle<br />
trinity college class <strong>of</strong> 1973<br />
Doctor <strong>of</strong> Divinity<br />
Presented by Frank Kirkpatrick ’64, Ellsworth Morton Tracy Lecturer and Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> Religion<br />
Escorted by John A. Gettier, Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> Religion, Emeritus<br />
You arrived at <strong>Trinity</strong> as the beneficiary <strong>of</strong> a special scholarship created in memory <strong>of</strong> Second<br />
Lieutenant Michael P. Getlin, who died during the Vietnam Conflict. You have said that when<br />
you learned about Lieutenant Getlin’s story, you decided to embark upon a career as a military<br />
chaplain. That decision—with its powerful mixture <strong>of</strong> public service and spiritual strength—has<br />
marked your path through life and has kept service to humanity as a central theme in your many<br />
leadership positions.<br />
<strong>The</strong> education you received as an undergraduate at <strong>Trinity</strong> provided the foundation for a wide-ranging<br />
career grounded in your passion for the ministry. After graduating in 1973, you earned your Master<br />
<strong>of</strong> Divinity degree at Duke University and then completed your Doctor <strong>of</strong> Ministry degree at Howard<br />
University.<br />
You also completed the Institute for Educational Management at the Harvard University Graduate<br />
School <strong>of</strong> Education; the Millennial Leadership Institute, sponsored by the American Association <strong>of</strong><br />
State <strong>College</strong>s and Universities; and the William R. Harvey Leadership Institute at Hampton University.<br />
In addition, you graduated from the United States Army Reserve Command and General Staff <strong>College</strong>.<br />
Over the years, you have enjoyed success as an administrator at some <strong>of</strong> America’s finest educational<br />
institutions. You have been president <strong>of</strong> the Interdenominational <strong>The</strong>ological Center in Atlanta,<br />
Georgia; vice president <strong>of</strong> Chicago State University in Chicago, Illinois; associate vice president <strong>of</strong><br />
Virginia State University in Petersburg, Virginia; and dean <strong>of</strong> the chapel at Hampton University in<br />
Hampton, Virginia, where you also served as pastor <strong>of</strong> the Hampton University Memorial Church<br />
and executive secretary and treasurer <strong>of</strong> the Hampton University Ministers’ Conference, the largest<br />
interdenominational conference <strong>of</strong> African American clergy in the United States. For 20 years you<br />
served as chaplain in the United States Army Reserve, retiring as a lieutenant colonel in 1997.<br />
You were chair <strong>of</strong> the Robert W. Woodruff Library <strong>of</strong> the Atlanta University Center and a member<br />
<strong>of</strong> the United Negro <strong>College</strong> Fund Institutional Board <strong>of</strong> Directors, 100 Black Men <strong>of</strong> Atlanta, and<br />
the steering committee <strong>of</strong> the Historically Black <strong>College</strong>s and Universities Congressional Forum. You<br />
hold lifetime membership in the National Association for the Advancement <strong>of</strong> Colored People and the<br />
Southern Christian Leadership Conference.<br />
You have had a long and distinguished history <strong>of</strong> involvement with the people and governments <strong>of</strong><br />
Africa. From 1994 to 1998, you served as vice president <strong>of</strong> the American Committee on Africa. In<br />
1994 you were an election observer for the first free election in South Africa and, at the same time,<br />
served as liaison between the Hampton University Ministers’ Conference and the South African<br />
Council <strong>of</strong> Churches. And today, as the United States Ambassador to the African Union, you serve as<br />
the personal representative <strong>of</strong> the President <strong>of</strong> the United States to the African Union. Headquartered<br />
at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the diplomatic capital <strong>of</strong> the African Continent, the African Union is<br />
a multilateral continental body with 53 African member nations.<br />
For building an exceptional career upon the foundation <strong>of</strong> your <strong>Trinity</strong> education—one marked by<br />
scholarship, successful leadership, and inspirational public service—I have the honor <strong>of</strong> presenting you,<br />
Ambassador Michael A. Battle, Class <strong>of</strong> 1973 for the degree <strong>of</strong> Doctor <strong>of</strong> Divinity, honoris causa.<br />

Walter John Lamb<br />
Doctor <strong>of</strong> Letters<br />
Presented by Lucy Ferriss, Writer-in-Residence<br />
Escorted by David Rosen, Associate Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> English<br />
Born and raised in Norwich, Connecticut, you graduated from Norwich Free Academy. After<br />
graduating from the University <strong>of</strong> Connecticut in 1972, you returned to Norwich to embark<br />
upon what would become a 25-year career as a high school English teacher.<br />
Though teaching was your first vocation, it was not without digressions. You had earned your master’s<br />
degree, also from the University <strong>of</strong> Connecticut, and were nine years into your teaching career when<br />
you experienced a moment <strong>of</strong> transformative change. Discovering a voice within you that demanded<br />
to be heard, you turned your hand to writing fiction.<br />
To hone your writing skills, you enrolled in the M.F.A. <strong>program</strong> at Vermont <strong>College</strong>, earning your<br />
M.F.A. in 1984. Your first novel, She’s Come Undone, a story <strong>of</strong> triumph over a life <strong>of</strong> misery and abuse,<br />
quickly found a receptive audience. It was already a bestseller by the time Oprah Winfrey chose it for<br />
her book club in 1997, catapulting you into the national spotlight. At the same time, you were also<br />
putting the final touches on your second book, I Know This Much Is True. When it was published in<br />
1998, it was welcomed with enthusiastic critical praise and became another Winfrey selection.<br />
In 2008 you published your third novel, <strong>The</strong> Hour I First Believed, and a year later you published<br />
Wishin’ and Hopin’.<br />
Though you ended your long tenure at Norwich Free Academy in 1997, you did not stop teaching.<br />
As an associate pr<strong>of</strong>essor at the University <strong>of</strong> Connecticut, you directed the English department’s<br />
creative writing <strong>program</strong>. And at Connecticut’s York Correctional Institution, you taught a celebrated<br />
workshop that was the focus <strong>of</strong> a segment on CBS-TV’s 60 Minutes and that resulted in two published<br />
anthologies <strong>of</strong> nonfiction, Couldn’t Keep It to Myself: Testimonies from Our Imprisoned Sisters and I’ll<br />
Fly Away.<br />
Of your writing, you have said, “I write fiction so that I can move beyond the boundaries and<br />
limitations <strong>of</strong> my own experiences and better understand the lives <strong>of</strong> others. That’s also why I teach.”<br />
You have been honored with a National Endowment for the Arts grant, the Connecticut Center<br />
for the Book’s Lifetime Achievement Award, the Connecticut Bar Association’s Distinguished Public<br />
Service Award, the Barnes and Noble “Writers for Writers” Award, the New England Book Award<br />
for fiction, and the Kenneth Johnson Memorial Book Award.<br />
In his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, William Faulkner said that the writer’s duty and privilege is<br />
“to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him <strong>of</strong> the courage and honor and hope and<br />
pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory <strong>of</strong> his past.” For creating a<br />
body <strong>of</strong> literature that consistently reminds us <strong>of</strong> how indomitable the human spirit is, I have the<br />
honor <strong>of</strong> presenting you, Walter John Lamb, for the degree <strong>of</strong> Doctor <strong>of</strong> Letters, honoris causa.<br />

Scott Walton Reynolds<br />
trinity college class <strong>of</strong> 1963<br />
Doctor <strong>of</strong> Humane Letters<br />
Presented by Thomas S. Johnson ’62, H’05, P’97, Former Chairman <strong>of</strong> the Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees at <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
Escorted by William C. Richardson ’62, H’03, Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees at <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
<strong>Trinity</strong> educated, you returned to your alma mater in 1996 to assume the role <strong>of</strong> assistant to the<br />
president. Your service to the <strong>College</strong> in that capacity has been extraordinary. In times <strong>of</strong> both<br />
trial and triumph, your wisdom and your long view <strong>of</strong> the institution that you love so deeply have<br />
proven to be invaluable.<br />
But the fact is that for more than a half century—during which the world has undergone remarkable<br />
change and <strong>Trinity</strong> has rapidly evolved to keep pace with that change—you have never been far from<br />
the pulse <strong>of</strong> the <strong>College</strong>. <strong>Trinity</strong> has always been able to count on you for reasoned and disciplined<br />
advice. It is your forté.<br />
As an undergraduate, you distinguished yourself as a member <strong>of</strong> Medusa, the senior honor society;<br />
with your election to Pi Gamma Mu; as president <strong>of</strong> your fraternity, <strong>The</strong>ta Xi; and as a member <strong>of</strong><br />
Cerberus, the sophomore honor society. You were also a reporter for the Tripod and manager <strong>of</strong> the<br />
freshman basketball and varsity lacrosse teams.<br />
After graduating in 1963 with a B.A. in economics, you earned your M.B.A. at Harvard. You then<br />
served in the United States Army in the Pentagon in a wide range <strong>of</strong> planning and analysis positions<br />
with the Joint Chiefs <strong>of</strong> Staff, the Office <strong>of</strong> the Comptroller <strong>of</strong> the Army, and the Office <strong>of</strong> the Chief<br />
<strong>of</strong> Staff <strong>of</strong> the Army, once again demonstrating your capacity for the kind <strong>of</strong> counsel that clarifies and<br />
adds value. As a civilian, you enjoyed a distinguished career in banking and finance at Bankers Trust<br />
Company. <strong>The</strong>re, you were the founding president <strong>of</strong> BT Securities. Before returning to <strong>Trinity</strong>, you<br />
served from 1994 to 1996 as assistant to the president <strong>of</strong> Saint Peter’s <strong>College</strong> in Jersey City, New Jersey.<br />
It is important to note that in the more than three decades <strong>of</strong> your career that bridge the time from<br />
graduation until your return to <strong>Trinity</strong> in 1996, you routinely found time to serve the <strong>College</strong> in<br />
various capacities. You were a member <strong>of</strong> the Board <strong>of</strong> Fellows, an alumni <strong>of</strong>ficer and volunteer, and,<br />
from 1992 to 1996, a member <strong>of</strong> the Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees and secretary <strong>of</strong> the Board.<br />
Your close involvement with <strong>Trinity</strong> extends to your family, as your daughter Jane Reynolds Flynn is<br />
a member <strong>of</strong> the Class <strong>of</strong> 1992.<br />
For the past 15 years you have served <strong>Trinity</strong> in the Office <strong>of</strong> the President and, twice, as interim vice<br />
president for finance. You were elected secretary <strong>of</strong> the <strong>College</strong> in 1998. During this period, you have<br />
consistently provided leadership that is both level-headed and transformational in grappling with some<br />
<strong>of</strong> the most sensitive affairs <strong>of</strong> the <strong>College</strong>.<br />
For your long and distinguished service to <strong>Trinity</strong>, I have the honor <strong>of</strong> presenting you, Scott Walton<br />
Reynolds, Class <strong>of</strong> 1963, for the degree <strong>of</strong> Doctor <strong>of</strong> Humane Letters, honoris causa.<br />

Patrick Joseph Wilson<br />
Doctor <strong>of</strong> Fine Arts<br />
Presented by Gerald Moshell, Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> Music<br />
Escorted by John Plat<strong>of</strong>f, Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> Music<br />
Patrick Wilson, you are a multifaceted artist whose broad range includes the stage, film, and music. You<br />
have the capacity to move audiences in settings as varied as a somber Arthur Miller play or a sprightly<br />
Broadway musical. You have followed your childhood dream to an ever more successful career in a highly<br />
competitive industry and have done so while keeping both your humility and your moral compass.<br />
Born in Virginia and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida, you enjoyed success early, appearing in a variety <strong>of</strong><br />
media and garnering a trove <strong>of</strong> awards almost from the day in 1995 when you graduated from Carnegie<br />
Mellon University with your Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Fine Arts degree.<br />
In 1996 you launched your career on the stage, earning accolades in the national tours <strong>of</strong> Miss Saigon and<br />
Carousel. Three years later, you won a Drama League Award and were nominated for a Drama Desk Award<br />
for your performance in the <strong>of</strong>f-Broadway production <strong>of</strong> Bright Lights, Big City. That same year, you made<br />
your Broadway debut, earning another Drama League Award for your performance in Gershwin’s Fascinating<br />
Rhythm.<br />
In 2000, you appeared in Tenderloin, and the following year your work in <strong>The</strong> Full Monty earned you your<br />
first Tony Award nomination. You also won a Drama League Award for that performance and Drama Desk<br />
and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations. In 2002 you were nominated for a Tony for your portrayal<br />
<strong>of</strong> Curly in the Broadway revival <strong>of</strong> Oklahoma.<br />
In 2006 you starred in the Broadway revival <strong>of</strong> Barefoot in the Park. And in 2008 you appeared with John<br />
Lithgow, Dianne Wiest, and Katie Holmes in the revival <strong>of</strong> Arthur Miller’s All My Sons.<br />
Your work has not been limited to the stage. Indeed, you once said, “I refuse to acknowledge the gap<br />
between theatre and film. I want to do both, on both coasts.” Fortunately for all <strong>of</strong> us, you have been<br />
successful on both coasts. While building your theatrical résumé, you have also done impressive work on<br />
television and in feature films. For example, in HBO’s highly acclaimed 2003 adaptation <strong>of</strong> Tony Kushner’s<br />
Angels in America, you earned Emmy, Golden Globe, and Satellite nominations.<br />
You have also appeared in 20 films, including <strong>The</strong> Switch, Barry Munday, <strong>The</strong> A-Team, Evening, Lakeview Terrace,<br />
Passengers, Watchmen, Life in Flight, Purple Violets, Running with Scissors, Hard Candy, <strong>The</strong> Phantom <strong>of</strong> the Opera,<br />
Alamo, and the critically-acclaimed drama Little Children. You were nominated for Satellite awards for your<br />
work in <strong>The</strong> Phantom <strong>of</strong> the Opera and Little Children.<br />
Between appearing in plays and film productions, you have also worked in a wide range <strong>of</strong> other settings.<br />
In 2001, for instance, you sang “<strong>The</strong> Street Where You Live,” from My Fair Lady when Julie Andrews was<br />
honored at the Kennedy Center. In 2006, you narrated the PBS documentary Tampa Bay: Living Legacy.<br />
And last fall you sang “God Bless America” during the seventh inning stretch <strong>of</strong> game four <strong>of</strong> the American<br />
League Championship Series at Yankee Stadium.<br />
For your performances in a wide range <strong>of</strong> plays and media and for your commitment to your craft, I have<br />
the honor <strong>of</strong> presenting you, Patrick Joseph Wilson, for the degree <strong>of</strong> Doctor <strong>of</strong> Fine Arts, honoris causa.<br />

To our dear old Alma Mater, <strong>Trinity</strong>;<br />

Graduation Pledge<br />
<strong>The</strong> Graduation Pledge is a voluntary pledge that states,<br />
“I pledge to explore and take into account the social and environmental consequences<br />
<strong>of</strong> any job I consider and will try to improve these aspects <strong>of</strong> any organizations for which I work.”<br />
Started in 1985, the Pledge has been instituted at over 100 schools throughout the<br />
country. <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>College</strong> is the first and only school in Connecticut to have instituted<br />
the Pledge, and since 2001, over 3,000 <strong>Trinity</strong> graduates have taken the Pledge.

<strong>The</strong> Academic Regalia<br />
In 1895 a commission <strong>of</strong> leading American educators established the Intercollegiate<br />
Code pertaining to the academic costume. <strong>The</strong> color <strong>of</strong> the lining <strong>of</strong> the hood is that <strong>of</strong> the<br />
college or university conferring the degree. <strong>The</strong> edging <strong>of</strong> the hood and the tassel <strong>of</strong> the cap<br />
indicate the subject to which the degree pertains, in accordance with the following <strong>of</strong>ficial<br />
designations for colleges and universities in the United States:<br />
Agriculture Maize<br />
Arts, Letters, Humanities White<br />
Commerce, Accountancy, Business Drab<br />

<strong>The</strong> Owen Morgan Mace<br />
<strong>The</strong> mace, which precedes the president in academic processions, and is a symbol <strong>of</strong> his<br />
executive powers, was presented to <strong>Trinity</strong> in 1950 in memory <strong>of</strong> Owen Morgan, Class <strong>of</strong><br />
1906, who served his alma Mater as a member <strong>of</strong> the Board <strong>of</strong> Fellows, as a Trustee, and as<br />
treasurer <strong>of</strong> the <strong>College</strong>. Historically, maces were first used as weapons in warfare and later<br />
became a symbol <strong>of</strong> the sovereign and his power. One <strong>of</strong> the first known uses <strong>of</strong> a mace by<br />
an educational institution was at Cambridge university in the thirteenth century. Today<br />
a number <strong>of</strong> colleges use the mace as a symbol <strong>of</strong> authority and <strong>of</strong> the power invested in<br />
the president by the faculty and trustees. <strong>The</strong> Morgan Mace is made <strong>of</strong> ebony, signifying<br />
endurance; bronze, meaning power; and gold, symbolizing dignity and glory. It is 44 inches<br />
long and weighs 20 pounds. <strong>The</strong> fluted staff represents the various components <strong>of</strong> an<br />
enduring education. It is bound by a gold ribbon, inscribed with the names <strong>of</strong> every<br />
<strong>Trinity</strong> president. On the head, or urn, <strong>of</strong> the mace are six seals <strong>of</strong> the sources <strong>of</strong> life<br />
and growth <strong>of</strong> this <strong>College</strong>: the Great Seal <strong>of</strong> the united States; the Seal <strong>of</strong> the State <strong>of</strong><br />
Connecticut,; the Charter Oak; the original seal <strong>of</strong> the City <strong>of</strong> Hartford; the Washington<br />
Coat <strong>of</strong> arms; and the seal <strong>of</strong> the Episcopal diocese <strong>of</strong> Connecticut,. Surmounting the<br />
Gothic urn is the <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>College</strong> seal crowned by an eagle about to take flight, symbolizing<br />
the freedom and power <strong>of</strong> an educated person.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Presidential Collar<br />
<strong>The</strong> collar, which is worn on ceremonial occasions, is the visible symbol <strong>of</strong> the president’s<br />
high <strong>of</strong>fice and authority. <strong>The</strong> collar was presented to the <strong>College</strong> in 1953 by former<br />
President G. Keith Funston, Class <strong>of</strong> 1932, in memory <strong>of</strong> his grandmother, Maria Briggs<br />
Keith. <strong>The</strong> chain symbolically links modern higher education with the universities <strong>of</strong><br />
yesteryear. <strong>The</strong> golden seal <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Trinity</strong> President hangs from the collar which is fashioned<br />
<strong>of</strong> 20 replicas <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Trinity</strong> Elms and seven silver seals including the six reproduced in the<br />
mace, and the <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>College</strong> seal superimposed on a triangle representing the religious<br />
foundations <strong>of</strong> the <strong>College</strong> crowned by a sun signifying enlightenment. In the lower corners<br />
<strong>of</strong> the triangle are the Book and a pair <strong>of</strong> student’s hands extended to receive it, symbolizing<br />
the desire <strong>of</strong> youth to receive an education.
