earned the doctor of education
degree.'
Roger W. Rowland, president
of the Board• of Trustees,
authorized Eric A. Walker,
president of the University, to
confer the degrees on the
graduates, which included
more than 425 seniors who
graduated with honors and 139
who completed the Reserve Of
ficer Training Corps programs
and who were commissioned in
the Arany, Air Force, Navy or
Marine Corps.
Tradition Followed
Following tradition, n o
honorary degrees were award
ed and there was no com
mencement speaker. Th e
senior class had asked Milton
Shapp, unsuccessful guber
natorial candidate in 1966, to
speak at the ceremony but the
invitation was withdrawn after
Senior Class President Bob
Emery discussed the matter
with faculty and ad
ministrators, including Walker
and T. Reed Fergusen, direc
tor of University relations.
Fergusen said that since the
commencement program was
already completed, he inform
ed Emery that the inclusion of
a graduation speaker would
add considerably to the two
hours the commencement was
expected to run, and that a
number of changes in the pro
gram would be required to ac
comodate a speaker.
"In view of the com
plications and added length of
the service, Emery said the in
vitation would be withdrawn
and he wrote Shapp to this ef
fect," Fergusen said.
According to E m e r y,
however, Fergusen had in
dicated that if the invitation

were withdrawn, he could help
find another speaker even
though it were late. "The Ad
ministration said that inviting
the losing gubernatorial can
didate might be discourteous to
the man who won, and since
the University's appropriations
haven't been passed yet, they
said Shapp's appearance might
hurt," Emery said.
Citizenship Needed
Walker, in his address to the
graduates, told them that
"practicing a profession will
only be a part of your
life...your real profession is
that of being a citizen. The
world today is in need of some
citizenship. The nation needs,
not just doctors, writers,
engineers...it needs instead
the engineer citizen, the doctor
citizen, the writer citizen..."
A number of awards were
also given at the commence
ment. Bob Emery became the
first student at the University
to receive the Eric A. Walker
Award, which was established
earlier this year. The award, a
small trophy for the student
and a large permanent trophy
inscribed with the recipient's
name, will be presented an
nually to the student adjudged
to have contributed most to
enhancing the reputation of the
University through hard work
beyond the classroom.
Emery, who received the
bachelor of science degree in
pre-medicine, has served as
president of the senior class
during the year and as co
captain of the gymnastics
team. In the national gym
nastics champioships at Seattle
in April he won the Nissen
Award, given annually to the

during the year.

in 1949 in memory of the late
Ralph Dorn Hetzel, president
of the University from 1926 un

tivities of University life gives
