Alma Mater Music by Raymond Mech

Lyrics by Andrew Mech, PhD, Professor of Mechanical Engineering

Here in central Indiana is the school we know is best.

Rose-Hulman, Yes, our Alma Mater far surpasses all the rest.

Sing her glories and her praises in every way she does excel.

Rose-Hulman, you're our Alma Mater our Alma Mater loved so well.

Rose did more than set foundations for the work that was to come.

The people here became as family; Rose became another home.

Though we live at quite a distance and time has passed since our farewell,

Rose-Hulman you have grown yet dearer our Alma Mater loved so well.

Dear Old Rose The School Fight Song

Words and Music by Malcolm C. Scott, Class of 1922

Dear Old Rose The sweetest flower that grows

Here's to your colors rose and white Here's to the ones who've kept them bright.

Colors true for those who honor you Here's to everything you've done, Here's to every fight you've won.

Dear Old Rose.

Honorary Degree

Honorary Doctor of Engineering The Honorable Robert L. Wilkins, JD Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals

for the District of Columbia Circuit

Robert L. Wilkins, a 1986 chemical engineering graduate, credits his years at Rose-Hulman with providing a solid technical foundation for his career as an influential jurist and civil rights activist.

Judge Wilkins was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in January, after being nominated by President Barack Obama. He handles appeals from the federal district court and from the federal administrative rule-making bodies, including disputes regarding environmental, energy, and communications law.

Prior to assuming his appellate seat, he spent three years on the federal district bench, eight years as a partner with a prestigious D.C. law firm, and a decade as a public defender.

Judge Wilkins was named Pro Bono Attorney of the Year in 2001 by

the American Civil Liberties Union of Maryland, one of the 40 most successful litigators under 40 by the National Law Journal in 2002, and one of the 90 Greatest Washington Lawyers of the Last 30 Years by Legal Times in 2008.

A Muncie, Indiana, native, Judge Wilkins received the Herman A. Moench Award as Rose-Hulman's distinguished graduating senior in 1986, and later earned a Juris Doctorate in 1989 from the Harvard Law School.

Judge Wilkins is a recognized expert in racial discrimination and sentencing laws, and has spoken and testified many times before Congress and a number of other institutions and organizations. He helped draft bipartisan legislation establishing the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

He received the Rose-Hulman Alumni Association's Honor Alumnus Award in 2005 for his service to his alma mater and professional achievement. Judge Wilkins was the featured speaker of campus' Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Week in 2008.

Judge Wilkins lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife, Amina, and two sons.

Fifty-Year Commemorative Degrees For more than 130 years, Rose-Hulman alumni have been making positive contributions to society as scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. Success has not been limited to their career areas.

They serve their local communities through civic organizations, youth activities, and churches.

Much of the recognition Rose-Hulman enjoys today is because of our alumni. Rose-Hulman graduates make an impact. Their achievements as scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and concerned citizens translate into a reputation of quality for their alma mater.

Today, we recognize the contributions of the Class of 1964 by presenting commemorative degrees to those who have been alumni for 50 years.

The diplomas they receive today honor their dedication of time and talent to their careers, society, and Rose-Hulman. The following members of the Class of 1964 returned to campus for today's ceremony.

The Heminway Gold Medal This award, established by the late Mrs. Sarah A. Heminway, is awarded to the graduating undergraduate student with the highest grade point average. In the event of a tie, duplicate awards are given.

The John T. Royse Award The John Tuller Royse Award was inaugurated at Rose-Hulman to honor Mr. Royse in perpetuity for his many years of service to the college as a member of our Board of Trustees. The Royse tradition on the Board of Trustees continues yet today as John N. Royse is an emeritus member.

The award consists of a bronze medal and cash honorarium to be made at commencement each year to the graduating senior who, in the opinion of the faculty and administrative staff, is considered to be our most outstanding graduate based on academic achievement, student leadership, participation in co-curricular activities, and general campus citizenship. The recipient must be nominated by a classmate, a member of the faculty, or administrative staff.

The Herman A. Moench Commendation Herman A. Moench graduated from our school in 1929. He served as associate vice president and professor of electrical engineering for more than five decades. Moench helped shape the Rose-Hulman values that we all cherish today, including putting the student first, remaining humble while striving for excellence, and encouraging close student-teacher relationships.

In 1980, the first Herman A. Moench Commendation was awarded. It is presented to a person who is "not just a good student in the upper half of his/her class, but also has demonstrated exemplary character in the eyes of his/her peers and teachers; a person who has been influential in making Rose-Hulman a better place." The recipient is selected by a vote of faculty and administrative staff.

A Brief History of Rose-Hulman Local businessman, entrepreneur, railroad builder, leading citizen, and philanthropist Chauncey Rose and nine of his friends founded Rose Polytechnic Institute in 1874 "for the intellectual and practical education of young men," according to the original charter.

The school grew from its original class of 25 students to more than 200 by 1903, educating them in five engineering curricula: mechanical, civil, electrical, architectural, and chemical. As the first private engineering college west of the Allegheny Mountains, the school provided a rigorous curriculum from the beginning.

A growing enrollment required a move from the middle of Terre Haute to a 123-acre farm east of the city on U.S. 40 (our current location), which was donated by the Hulman family. Classroom and residential buildings began to be constructed, and campus life officially began with athletics, Greek life, musical organizations, and publications available to students.

The campus did not change too much from 1900 to 1961, with enrollment remaining around 300 to 400 students, but degree programs in mathematics, physics, and chemistry were added in 1958. Beginning about 1962, dramatic changes began as campus facilities expanded to include the Hulman Union and new housing facilities, as well as a recreation center.

The Hulman family continued its tradition of philanthropy, turning over the assets of the foundation in 1971. That is when the college was renamed Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.

The succeeding decades have seen growth at an accelerated pace, with one of the most notable changes being the admission of women to the college in 1995. Today, Rose-Hulman's undergraduate enrollment stands at about 2,000 students.

The college's reputation has been strong since its inception and continues to grow. For the past 15 years, Rose-Hulman has been ranked number one by engineering educators as the nation's best college or university that offers the bachelor's or master's degree as its highest degree in engineering, according to America's Best Colleges guidebook, published annually by U.S. News & World Report. In addition, Rose-Hulman was named in The Princeton Review Best 378 Colleges (2014) and ranked No. 9 among the top 50 smartest colleges in a Lumosity report.

Rose-Hulman is also recognized internationally through its relationships with universities in countries such as Germany, Russia, Ireland, Japan, and China.
