has given untiring service for the past ten years in his roles as Assistant to the Vice President
for Academic Affairs, Director of the General Studies Program and Acting Registrar.
A recipient of a Bachelor of Arts degree in Commerce and Finance from Penn State and
a graduate of the Industrial College of the Armed Forces in Washington, D. C., Mr. Hender­
son obtained his Master of Education degree in Guidance and Counseling from the Colleges
of William and Mary. Mr. Henderson also holds credits from George Washington University,

THE CEREMONIAL MACE
The Ceremonial Mace, a symbol of presidential authority, is carried at the head of the
academic procession by the College Marshal, Mr. Blair E. Henderson. The Mace, a gift of the
Alumni Association, was designed and executed by Dr. Seymour Blinderman, formerly of
the Art faculty, and Mr. Henry Katzwinkel. The Mace was first used at the inauguration
of President Chester T. McNerney.
The Mace, twenty-seven inches high, is topped by a sterling silver sphere studded by
cone-shaped rubies. The neck of the Mace is inlaid with rosewood, alternated with silver
fleur-de-lis. Cultured pearls mounted on cups encircle the top of the staff. Discs of silver
interspersed with rosewood compose the shaft which ends with tip-casted silver. Sunken
cultured- pearls encircle a rounded cone with textured silver to end in a small globe.

COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER
AND RECIPIENT OF CERTIFICATE OF MERIT
DR. TERREL HOWARD BELL
United States Commissioner of Education
Dr. Terrell H. Bell, the United States Commissioner of Education, will serve as speaker
for the 1975 spring commencement. In recognition of both his public and private service to
education, as well as his personal and professional commitment to human services, he is
being honored today by receiving a distinguished Certificate of Merit.
Dr, Bell was sworn in as the Commissioner of Education on June 13, 1974, only eight
days after his appointment was confirmed by the U. S. Senate. He is the 21st Commissioner
in the 107-year history of the U. S. Office of Education.
During his previous service in Washington, Dr. Bell was instrumental in establishing
comparability for Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act—the requirement
that Federal funds supplement rather than supplant State and local funds. He also played a
major role in the Office of Education’s effort to desegregate, under the Emergency School
Assistance Program, some 1,300 school districts in the South.
Dr. Bell had been Superintendent of the Granite School District, Salt Lake City,
beginning in September 1971. From 1970 to 1971, he was with the U. S. Office of Education,
serving as Associate Commissioner in charge of Regional Offices, Acting Commissioner of
Education and Deputy Commissioner for School Systems. From 1963 to 1970, he was Utah
State Superintendent of Public Instruction and Executive Officer of the State Board for
Vocational Education.
A native of Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, Dr. Bell received his B.A. degree from Southern
Idaho College of Education in 1946, his M.S. from the University of Idaho in 1954, and his
doctorate in educational administration from the University of Utah in 1961. He also studied
school administration as a Ford Foundation Fellow in 1954-55 at Stanford University.
Dr. Bell began his career in education in 1946 as a science teacher and athletic coach
at Eden Rural High School in Eden, Idaho. From 1947 to 1954, he served as Superintendent
of the Rockland Valley School District in Idaho. In 1955 he became Superintendent of
Schools in the Star Valley School District, Afton, Wyoming, and held this position for the
next three years. From 1957 to 1962, he was Superintendent of Schools in the Weber County
School District, Ogden, Utah. He was Chairman of the Department of Educational Ad­
ministration and Professor of Educational Administration at Utah State University from
1962 to 1963.
The Commissioner holds an honorary Doctorate of Humanities degree from Southern
Utah State College. His other honors and awards include: Certificate of Appreciation from
the U. S. Office of Education in 1971; Secretary’s Special Citation from the U. S. Department
of Health, Education and Welfare in 1970; National Adult Education Outstanding Service
Award in 1970; Distinguished Service to American Education Award from the Council of
Chief State School Officers in 1970; Utah School Boards Association Distinguished Service
Award in 1970, and the Weber County Board of Education designation of a new secondary
school as T. H. Bell Junior High School in 1963,
A member of the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, Dr. Bell is the author of five pub-^
lished books and numerous articles on educational subjects.
During World War II, Dr. Bell served for 26 months in the Pacific Area and was dis­
charged as a First Sergeant in the U. S. Marine Corps. In 1957, he was married to Betty
Ruth Fitzgerald and has four sons: Mark Fitzgerald, Warren Terrel, Glenn Martin and
Peter Fitzgerald.

AWARD RECIPIENTS
MR. B. REGIS ‘‘SOX’^ HARRISON
Professor Emeritus, Edinboro State College
A special Certificate of Merit will be awarded today to B. Regis “Sox” Harrison, who
dedicated 34 years of his life to Edinboro State College as an athletic director, a coach and
a physical education instructor.
Sox, who graduated from Niagara University in 1913 and starred in both football and
baseball, came to Edinboro in 1919. Under his leadership. Sox Harrison’s teams were
renowned for their outstanding success and the spirit that was generated by his exuberance.
Sox’s basketball teams amassed an amazing 158 wins from 1928 until his retirement in 1952,
and his 1931-32 basketball team still has the best percentage mark in Edinboro history
with its 12-1 season record.
The College paid a tribute to Sox in 1964 when Edinboro’s football stadium was named
in his honor. His overall devotion to the athletic world is annually symbolized in the
presentation of a trophy in his name that is awarded to an Edinboro State College senior who
has demonstrated his unselfish service to Edinboro’s athletic program and is a proven
competitor.
Originally a Pittsburgh native. Sox coached football and basketball at Battle Creek
School of Physical Education in Michigan and then took a position at Alliance College
prior to coming to Edinboro. Always noted for giving his time unselfishly to youngsters,
retirement from the College in 1952 meant only more time for the management of his own
Sunset Camps for boys and girls.
Sox will long be remembered for his outstanding contributions to the College and the
many lasting friendships which he has established over the years.

DR. DORIS E. NASON
Director, Reading-Study Center
The University of Connecticut
Dr. Doris E. Nason, Director of the Reading-Study Center at the University of
Connecticut, will receive a Certificate of Merit at today’s commencement proceedings. The
award recognizes her professional service and national leadership as a distinguished researcher
and lecturer in matters of clinical services in the fiela of reading.
Dr. Nason is the author of 17 publications and is a renowned lecturer in the field of
reading. She has produced numerous television courses in the teaching of reading, conducted
workshops and seminars while also organizing various reading associations. In 1971 Dr.
Nason was a consultant to the first learning disability center in Belgium and since then
has travelled throughout the United States to assist in establishing and evaluating reading
programs.
Dr. Nason has been a professor at the University of Connecticut for the past 25 years
where she has specialized in remedial, clinical, primary and adult reading. Her major areas
of research include the study of children whose reading achievement is below their measured
intellectual activity, the study of reading achievement of bi-lingual children, the study of
effective ways of improving primary reading instruction, the effects of parent involvement
in reading instruction, and the effects of various plans to up-grade adult literacy. Under
her direction, the reading clinic at the University of Connecticut was founded in 1951.
A native of Girard, Pa., Dr. Nason received her B.S. degree in 1947, was awarded her
master’s degree in 1948 and her doctorate in 1951 from Boston University. She received
her initial teaching degree from Edinboro State College in 1932 and taught in the Erie
area until 1947.

MEMORIAL FOUNDATION GIFTS

:

Academic Vestments
The gown, the cap and the hood, representing the major components of the academic
dress, are a ceremonial inheritance from the medieval universities of the eleventh and twelfth
centuries, where dress was the outward sign of privilege and responsibility. The academic
dress worn by those participating in today’s academic processional symbolizes the level of
their academic attainment and the institution they attended.

Gown
Although the gown is more frequently black, certain universities have authorized the
use of colored gowns. The Bachelor and Master gowns are fashioned from black serge. The
yoke for the Bachelor gown is designed to be worn closed and features long, flowing and
pointed sleeves. The Master gown is designed to be worn open or closed. Its sleeves are very
long with square ends, and the front part has an arc cut away. The arms protrude through
a slit at the elbow. The gown for the Doctor degree is made of wool, serge, or silk with an
open front faced with wide velvet panels. The sleeves are loose and bell-shaped with three
bars of velvet in black or the color of the discipline in which the doctorate was obtained.

“They received, each for his own memory, praise that grows not old, and with it the
grandest of all sepulchres, not that in which their mortal bones are laid, but a home in the
minds of men, where their glory remains fresh to stir to speech or action as the occasion
comes by. For the whole earth is the sepulchre of famous men; and their story is not graven
only on stone over the native earth, but lives on far way, without visible symbol, woven
into the stuff of other men’s lives.’’—Thucydides

Jack Finegan, April 1969
Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Finegan provide a $50 annual award to an outstanding male
English student who shows a tendency to write prose or poetry that is intended to make
mankind aware of the needs of his fellow-man and that places an emphasis on the desire
to make the world a better place in which to live. This award was established in memory
of their son. Jack Finegan, a former student at Edinboro State College.

Mildred Forness Memorial Loan for Library Science Students
Miss Forness held a position at the College from 1922 until her retirement in 1969.
During that time she served in many capacities, including head of the Library and head of
the Library Science department. Her relatives and friends have contributed to establish
loans for library science students.

Lois Caldwell North, Class of 1886

Hood
The most outstanding feature of the academic dress is the hood. It is usually worn
only for the Master’s and the Doctor’s degrees. The Doctor’s hood is longer than the Master’s
hood and has distinguishing panels. The college or the university granting the degree is
indicated by the color or coloring of the hood lining. The velvet trim of the hood indicates
the field in which the degree was granted.

Cap
The standard cap is the mortarboard, usually the color of the gown. The tassel is black
for the Baccalaureate and Master degree and is worn over the left front quarter of the
cap. The tassel for the Doctor’s mortarboard is of gold thread. Undergraduates wear the
tassel on the right side of the cap until the moment the degree is conferred by the President.

Two $100 annual scholarships have been endowed in memory of Mrs. Lois Caldwell
North by her daughter, Eleanor North of State College, Pa. The awards are made each
year to students who plan to enter the ministry upon completion of their education.

Helen Sabin Reed, October 1966
A $10,000 endowment was given to Edinboro State College in memory of Mrs. Helen
Sabin Reed, a member of the education faculty since 1961. Because Mrs. Reed was a specialist
in the reading field, the yearly $500 scholarship will be awarded to an Elementary Education
major. Mrs. Theo Sabin Meyer of Erie; Mrs. Mildred Sabin Young, Los Angeles, California,
sisters; and a brother, Robert W. Sabin, Long Beach, California, established the gift.

Vlahakis Award, January 1972
Each year a $300 scholarship award is made available to a student at Edinboro State
College who is majoring or planning to major in chemistry. The award has been established
by Mrs. Thekla Vlahakis of Pittsburgh in memory of her late husband, George K. Vlahakis,
and two sons, Walter and William.

UNDERGRADUATE AWARDS

Because of the demand to meet a deadline to print this program, and the short period of time between
the end of classes, review of all academic programs, delays caused by such factors as illness of some
students and evaluation by the Committee on Academic Affairs, the College does not claim the pre­
ceding list of degree candidates is necessarily 100% accurate. Students are granted degrees only if they
meet all academic and financial requirements.

PROGRAM NOTES
MR. JULIAN SHINOL
The College Marshal

COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER
AND RECIPIENT OF CERTIFICATE OF MERIT
DR. JUDITH A. W. THOMAS
Director of Student Teaching, Lincoln University

Carrying the Ceremonial Mace and leading the ranks of the academic procession as College Marshal
today is Professor Julian W. Shinol, who recently concluded 35 years serving education. Mr. Shinol has
been a member of the Edinboro State College faculty for the past twelve years in both the educational
foundations department in the School of Education and the geography department.

Dr. Judith A. W. Thomas, a Lincoln University professor and 1962 Edinboro graduate, is the guest speaker
for today’s Summer Commencement ceremonies. In recognition of her dynamic service to educational and
public responsibilities, she is being honored by receiving a distinguished Certificate of Merit.

Prior to his career at Edinboro, Mr. Shinol spent seven years in the Dubois School System and 16
years with the Erie Public School System where he taught at both Academy and Strong Vincent high
schools. He was also an adjunct professor in geography at Villa Maria College.

Dr. Thomas became a faculty member of Lincoln University in 1974 where she serves as Director of
Student Teaching, associate professor of education and Director of Debate and Forensics. She also currently
acts as a consultant for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on competency based education.

His interesting career includes a five-year stint with the United States Commerce Department. Ini­
tially, he served as a cartographic engineer for coastal and geodetic surveys where he prepared aero­
nautical charts. In his last two years with the department, Mr. Shinol was an economic analyst in the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
Mr. Shinol has authored a number of articles and has been active in professional groups including the
National Council for the Social Studies, National Council for Geographic Education and American
Education Research Association. He has also been a member of the Faculty Association, PSEA, NEA,
John Dewey Society and Pi Delta Kappa, as well as being named to “Who’s Who.”
A native of Reynoldsville, Pa., Mr. Shinol received his BS degree from Indiana University of Pa. and
was awarded his master’s degree from Allegheny College. He has done additional graduate work at the
University of Chicago, American University and Western Reserve University.
While he has concluded his teaching career. Professor Shinol intends to be back in the college ranks
shortly. He is currently preparing to move to South Carolina and enroll in the law school at South
Carolina University and then plans to offer legal assistance to individuals in the field of education.
Presently, Mr. Shinol makes his home in Wesleyville, Pa. with his wife Nancy. He has a son, Jan, who
is a major in the United States Air Force, and a daughter, Susan, who is a graduate of Edinboro State
College and resides in Buffalo, New York.
THE CEREMONIAL MACE
The Ceremonial Mace, a symbol of presidential authority, is carried at the head of the academic
procession by the College Marshal, Mr. Julian Shinol. The Mace, a gift of the Alumni Association, was
designed and executed by Dr. Seymour Blinderman, formerly of the Art faculty, and Mr. Henry
Katzwinkel. The Mace was first used at the inauguration of President Chester T. McNerney.
The Mace, twenty-seven inches high, is topped by a sterling silver sphere studded by cone-shaped
rubies. The neck of the Mace is inlaid with rosewood, alternated with silver fleur-de-lis. Cultured pearls
mounted on cups encircle the top of the staff. Discs of silver interspersed with rosewood compose the
shaft which ends with tip-casted silver. Sunken cultured pearls encircle a rounded cone with textured
silver to end in a small globe.

This past spring Dr. Thomas was selected to receive the Lindback Distinguished Teaching Award at Lincoln
University. The honor is conferred annually to a person who has exhibited distinguished teaching according to
evaluations by students, faculty and administrators. Dr. Thomas’ selection is most unique since she is the only
first-year-faculty awardee in the history of the Lindback Awards which began in 1961.
Prior to her position at Lincoln, Dr. Thomas was a teacher of English and Spanish in the Highlands School
District (1962-1966), a teacher of advanced Spanish at Penn Hills High School (1966-1967), an instructor of
curriculum and methods courses at West Virginia University (1967-1970), an assistant professor of speech at
Penn State University’s Fayette campus (1970-1971) and an associate professor of speech, education and
sociology at West Liberty State College (1971-1974). While at West Liberty, she also served as Director of the
Interethnic Sensitivity Institute and instructor for the college’s summer Upward Bound program. Among her
numerous committee involvements, she acted as chairperson for the college’s Human Relations Committee.
Along with her teaching assignment at West Virginia University, Dr. Thomas also was department supervisor of
student teachers.
In addition to her Lindback Award, the Edinboro graduate has been the recipient of other numerous
honors. Highlighting the lengthy list is her selection to the International Platform Association, the Danforth
Fellow Associate Award for Outstanding Teaching and Scholarship, the President’s Scholar Award from West
Virginia University, the Outstanding Young Woman of America Award, the Best Teacher of Spanish Award
from the University of Puget Sound Language Institute and an Outstanding Citizenship Achievement Award.
While at Edinboro State College, Dr. Thomas, the former Judy Waugh, was also named Outstanding Senior
Woman in 1962.
Her biographical sketches are included in the publications “Leaders in Education,” the “American Scholars
Edition” and the “Outstanding Women of America Association.”
She has served as speaker and consultant at many educational workshops and seminars, as well as authoring
a number of publications and writings. Most significant among her presentations have been “Religion and
Ethnicity,” “Education and Ethnicity,” “Comparing the Minority Groups in South America to Minorities in
the United States,” “Teacher Education and 1980” and “Black Dialect.”
A native of New Kensington, Pa., Dr. Thomas received her BS degree from Edinboro State College in 1962,
her MEd from Duquesne University in 1967 and her doctorate from West Virginia University in 1971.
She is married to Dr. James A. Thomas and they, along with their five-year-old daughter, Michelle Lynn,
and two-year-old twin boys, Bradley and Brian, currently reside in Oxford, Pa.

MEMORIAL FOUNDATION GIFTS

PROGRAM NOTES

Academic Vestments
The gown, the cap and the hood, representing the major components of the academic dress, are a
ceremonial inheritance from the medieval universities of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, where dress
was the outward sign of privilege and responsibility. The academic dress worn by those participating in
today’s academic processional symbolizes the level of their academic attainment and the institution they
attended.

Gown
Although the gown is more frequently black, certain universities have authorized the use of
colored gowns. The bachelor and master gowns are fashioned from black serge. The yoke for the
bachelor gown is designed to be worn closed and features long, flowing and pointed sleeves. The master
gown is designed to be worn open or closed. Its sleeves are very long with square ends, and the front part
has an arc cut away. The arms protrude through a slit at the elbow. The gown for the doctor degree is
made of wool, serge, or silk with an open front faced with wide velvet panels. The sleeves are loose and
bell-shaped with three bars of velvet in black or the color of the discipline in which the doctorate was
obtained.

“They received, each for his own memory, praise that grows not old, and with it the grandest of all
sepulchres, not that in which their mortal bones are laid, but a home in the minds of men, where their
glory remains fresh to stir to speech or action as the occasion comes by. For the whole earth is the
sepulchre of famous men; and their story is not graven only on stone over the native earth, but lives on
far away, without visible symbol, woven into the stuff of other men’s lives.”—Thucydides

Jack Finegan, April 1969
Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Finegan provide a $50 annual award to an outstanding male English student who
shows a tendency to write prose or poetry that is intended to make mankind aware of the needs of his
fellow-man and that places an emphasis on the desire to make the world a better place in which to live.
This award was established in memory of their son. Jack Finegan, a former student at Edinboro State
College.

Mildred Forness Memorial Loan for Library Science Students
Miss Forness held a position at the College from 1922 until her retirement in 1969. During that time
she served in many capacities, including head of the Library and head of the Library Science depart­
ment. Her relatives and friends have contributed to establish loans for library science students.

Lois Caldwell North, Class of 1886

Hood
The most outstanding feature of the academic dress is the hood. It is usually worn only for the
master’s and the doctor’s degrees. The doctor’s hood is longer than the master’s hood and has distin­
guishing panels. The college or the university granting the degree is indicated by the color or coloring of
the hood lining. The velvet trim of the hood indicates the field in which the degree was granted.

Two $100 annual scholarships have been endowed in memory of Mrs. Lois Caldwell North by her
daughter, Eleanor North of State College, Pa. The awards are made each year to students who plan to
enter the ministry upon completion of their education.

Helen Sabin Reed, October 1966
A $10,000 endowment was given to Edinboro State College in memory of Mrs. Helen Sabin Reed, a
member of the education faculty since 1961. Because Mrs. Reed was a specialist in the reading field, the
yearly $500 scholarship will be awarded to an elementary education major. Mrs. Theo Sabin Meyer of
Erie; Mrs. Mildred Sabin Young, Los Angeles, California, sisters; and a brother, Robert W. Sabin, Long
Beach, California, established the gift.

Cap
The standard cap is the mortarboard, usually the color of the gown. The tassel is black for the
baccalaureate and master degree and is worn over the left front quarter of the cap. The tassel for the
doctor’s mortarboard is of gold thread. Undergraduates wear the tassel on the right side of the cap until
the moment the degree is conferred by the president.

Vlahakis Award, January 1972
Each year a $300 scholarship award is made available to a student of Edinboro State College who is
majoring or planning to major in chemistry. The award has been established by Mrs. Thekla Vlahakis of
Pittsburgh in memory of her late husband, George K. Vlahakis, and two sons, Walter and William.

the Act of 1857.

Under the original charter the school was privately administered until
1861, when the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania chartered it as a State Normal
School. The school was purchased by the Commonwealth in 1914.

In 1926 the State recognized Edinboro as a four-year college and granted

Hail to Thee, our Alma Mater Glorious,
Fresh Wreaths we bring to bind Thy brow
Trials have past and Thou hast stood victorious
Never fairer never statelier than now,

While class speeds class as swift years pass
To Thee our hearts belong.

* Students who completed degree requirements, August 1975.

Because of the demand to meet a deadline to print this program and the short period of
time between the end of classes, review of all academic programs, delays caused by
such factors as illness of some students and evaluation by the Office of Academic
Affairs, the College does not claim the preceding list of degree candidates is absolutely
accurate. Students are granted degrees only if they meet all academic and financial
requirements.

This group includes those degree candidates who have earned at least sixty-four
credits as undergraduate students of Edinboro State College and who have attained the
following cumulative averages: Summa Cum Laude, 3.80 to 4.00; Magna Cum Laude,
3.60 to 3.79 and Cum Laude, 3.40 to 3.59.

Gown

tm'V'

Mi'

#■

Although the gown is more frequently black, certain universities have authorized
the use of colored gowns. The bachelor and master gowns are fashioned from black serge.
The yoke for the bachelor gown is designed to be worn closed and features long, flowing
and pointed sleeves. The master gown is designed to be worn open or closed. Its sleeves
are very long with square ends, and the front part has an arc cut away. The arms protrude
through a slit at the elbow. The gown for the doctor degree is made of wool, serge, or silk
with an open front faced with wide velvet panels. The sleeves are loose and bell-shaped
with three bars of velvet in black or the color of the discipline in which the doctorate
was obtained.

Hood
The most outstanding feature of the academic dress is the hood. It is usually worn
only for the master’s and the doctor’s degrees. The doctor’s hood is longer than the
master’s hood and has distinguished panels. The college or the university granting the
degree is indicated by the color or coloring of the hood lining. The velvet trim of the hood
indicates the field in which the degree was granted.

Cap
The standard cap is the mortarboard, usually the color of the gown. The tassel is
black for the baccalaureate and master degree and is worn over the left front quarter of
the cap. The tassel for the doctor’s mortarboard is of gold thread. Undergraduates wear
the tassel on the right side of the cap until the moment the degree is conferred by the
president.

MEMORIAL FOUNDATIONS GIFTS

“They received, each for his own memory, praise that grows not old, and with it the
grandest of all sepulchres, not that in which their mortal bones are laid, but a home in the
minds of men, where their glory remains fresh to stir to speech or action as the occasion
comes by. For the whole earth is the sepulchre of famous men; and their story is not
graven only on stone over the native earth, but lives on far away, without visible symbol,
woven into the stuff of other men’s lives.” — Thucydides

Library.

ALMA MATER
Hail to Thee, our Alma Mater Glorious.
Fresh Wreaths we bring to bind Thy brow
Trials have past and Thou hast stood victorious
Never fairer never statelier than now,
O Edinboro, Edinboro
Ever praising Thee in song
While class speeds class as swift years pass
To Thee our hearts belong.
