One Hundred Eighty-Fifth CommencementSaturday, May 13, 2023

“I suggest that you preach truth and do righteousness as you have been taught, whereinsoever that teaching may commend itself to your consciences and your judgements. For your consciences and your judgements we have not sought to bind; and see you to it that no other institution, no political party, no social circle, no religious organization, no pet ambitions put such chains on you as would tempt you to sacrifice one iota of the moral freedom of your consciences or the intellectual freedom of your judgements.” President Isaac Sharpless

Honorary Degree Recipient

Since 1858, Haverford has awarded honorary degrees in recognition of those whose lives and work speak of the College’s mission and values. Honorees are selected by a committee of students, faculty, staff, and alumni representatives; the number of recipients each year varies. This year, at the 185th Commencement ceremony, the College awards an honorary degree to Joan Cannady Countryman, an iconic figure in civil rights and education in Philadelphia and beyond, in recognition of her service to humanity.

Joan Cannady Countryman

The first African American graduate of Germantown Friends School (GFS), in 1958, Joan Cannady Countryman is a Quaker activist and educator committed to the struggle for a better world. After undergraduate study at Sarah Lawrence College, she earned a graduate degree in urban planning from Yale University and pursued a Fulbright scholarship at the London School of Economics. The early ’60s also brought involvement in the Northern Student Movement, a group founded by her husband, Peter Countryman, to, in her words, “persuade college campuses to support the southern student civil rights movement and to educate northern students about racial disparities in their own communities. Many of us on New England campuses, well aware of the sit-ins in the south, were hungry to be part of the new movement.”

Countryman would go on to teach mathematics at GFS for 23 years, before her work as a teacher and administrator—as head of school at the Lincoln School in Rhode Island—led to her role in creating the Oprah Winfrey Leadership School for Girls in South Africa.

A former member of the Board of Managers at Haverford, she has also served as Clerk of the Corporation of the College and, more recently, has spoken out about the advantages of city living for older people while creating communities where residents can age in wise and healthy ways.

Phi Beta Kappa Society

Founded in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest undergraduate academic honor society in the United States. The Haverford College Chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa Society of America was chartered in 1898 as Zeta of Pennsylvania. The Haverford chapter is one of 286 nationwide, housed at colleges and universities with academic programs in liberal arts and sciences acknowledged as sufficiently rigorous and intellectually challenging by standards maintained by the national Phi Beta Kappa society.

Individual selection reflects excellence in the liberal arts and sciences and distinction in a broad array of undergraduate courses. At Haverford College, undergraduate members of good character are selected primarily on the basis of academic performance, as expressed in their course grades. The selection committee of alumni and faculty members of Phi Beta Kappa also considers, to the extent possible, the degree of originality, creativity, and imagination of thought; the range of depth of intellectual interests; and the precision and elegance of a student’s work. Normally no less than 10 percent and no more than 15 percent of a graduating class are selected.

The Phi Beta Kappa Society supports programs that significantly advance scholarship and academic excellence by awards, lectures, and outreach activities to schools. Membership now numbers more than 500,000 individuals.

The following members of the Classes of 2023 and 2024 have been elected to the Phi Beta Kappa Society.

Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science

The senior capstone project is an opportunity for Haverford students to apply the skills, methods, and concepts specific to their major field in the production of new knowledge, the original synthesis of existing knowledge, and/or creative artistic expression. The titles of these theses, performances, and/or fine arts portfolios appear below students’ names. Certain majors also include comprehensive exams, and for some majors offered through partner institutions, a senior capstone project may not be required.

Academic Regalia

On ceremonial occasions, scholars wear academic gowns indicating the level of their degree and hoods indicating the field of the degree and the institution granting it. The origins of academic regalia date back to the 12th century, when gowns and hoods provided a layer of warmth in cold stone buildings. While observers may not be able to easily decipher each aspect of the regalia, they can readily appreciate the gowns, caps, and hoods as an expression of homage to more than 800 years of academic tradition.

Gowns

  • At U.S. colleges and universities, the bachelor’s gown is simply cut, with open, pointed sleeves.
  • The master’s gown is fuller, with oblong, square-cut sleeves and two horizontal bars on the sleeve.
  • The doctor’s gown is long, full-cut, with bell-shaped sleeves. It has velvet panels down the front and three horizontal bars on the sleeve, which are typically black, but occasionally feature the color indicating the field of learning. Some panels feature the seal of the institution. British doctoral regalia often feature an open front and no bars on the sleeves.
  • The college or university president’s gown is distinguished by four horizontal bars on the sleeve.
  • Doctoral gowns are often black, but sometimes are a distinctive color representing the degree-granting institution, for example: Harvard’s crimson; North Carolina’s, Michigan’s, Berkeley’s, and Columbia’s various shades of blue; Princeton’s black and orange; Oxford’s and Pennsylvania’s red and blue; or Chicago’s maroon.

Caps

All academic degree holders wear the mortarboard cap or the softer tam, which often feature tassels, though some universities abroad distinguish their degree holders with more unusual headgear.

Hoods

  • The inner lining of the hood carries the color or colors of the institution that granted the degree, with multiple colors divided in chevrons.
  • The color of the velvet border indicates the field of learning in which the degree was earned. Dark blue indicates philosophy; white, arts, letters, and humanities; golden yellow, science; scarlet, theology; purple, law; brown, fine arts and architecture; pink, music; green, medicine; copper, economics; lemon, library science; salmon, public health; light blue, education; and drab, business. Those who have attained a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) wear the dark blue of philosophy, even when their specific focus is not philosophy. For those individuals, the edging color of their hoods or the color of their gown panels may reflect the field of learning.

Haverford Examples

  • President Wendy Raymond’s robes are Haverford’s red and black, with four bars, befitting her role as president. As her Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) is from Harvard, her hood is bordered in dark blue, and features Harvard’s crimson in the hood liner.
  • Provost Linda Strong-Leek’s Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) is from Michigan State University, her robes are Spartan Green. Her gown’s three bars indicate her doctoral degree; her hood’s blue border represents her Ph.D., and its white satin edging signifies her field, English.
