RANDALL BELLOWS, A.B. 737, PRESIDENT OF THE CLASS OF 1937 PROCESSION MARSHAL—ROBERT ALAN HASLUN, A.B. ’67, SECRETARY OF THE COLLEGE The outdoor Academic Procession has its antecedents in medieval Oxford University. The Procession is de- signed so that each graduating senior passes before each faculty member one final time before the conferring of the degrees. The colorful nature of the Procession comes from the academic hoods worn by the faculty. The hoods are lined with silk in the official academic color or colors of the institution which granted the faculty member’s degree; they are trimmed in velvet the color indicating the discipline to which the degree pertains. The audience will rise when the procession moves down the aisle. MUSIC—The Commencement Band ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR JOHN KNIGHT, Conductor Blossom Music Festival Fanfare Walter E.

PRESIDENT STARR Candidate for the Award for Distinguished Service to the Community Arthur Henry Clark, quiet preservationist of Oberlin’s history, honest builder of her present, and tena- cious believer in Oberlin’s future The candidate will be presented by James Leo Walsh, Professor of Sociology B.A., Cleveland College, 1952. Arthur H. “Kenny” Clark was born in Cleveland. He moved to Oberlin as a child, grad- uated from Oberlin High School, and attended Oberlin Col- lege after navy service in World War II. In 1948, Clark began his construction company with his brother Bill; his sons are now part of the firm. In 1978 Clark was named Oberlinian of the Year by the Oberlin News-Tribune, which commented, “Clark has been good for Oberlin. He has maintained an ex- traordinarily high standard . . . (and is) scrupulously fair in business dealings. He has extended the hand of friendship and help to many when they neither asked nor expected it.” The recently erected bandstand echoing an Asian festival cart on the College’s Tappan Square was made possible by Clark’s 1986 gift to Oberlin College of real estate.

Erich Bloch is director of the National Science Foundation (NSF), an agency charged with strength- ening the national scientific research potential, with improving science and engineering education at all levels, and with increasing the interchange of sci- entific information among scientists in the U.S. and abroad. Before joining the NSF, Bloch was vice president for technical personnel development at IBM Corporation, which he joined in 1952 as an electrical engineer. In the late 1950s and early 1960s he was the engineering manager of IBM’s STRETCH super- computer system developed under contract from Los Alamos National Labo- ratory of the Atomic Energy Commission. In 1962 he headed development of the solid logic technology program, which provided IBM with microelectronic technology for its System/360 computer. He was subsequently appointed a vice president of the company’s Data Systems Division and general manager of the East Fishkill facility, which develops and manufactures semiconductor components used in most of IBM’s product line. He was elected an IBM vice president in 1981. From 1981 to 1984 Bloch was chair of the Semiconductor Research Cooperative, a group of computer and electronic firms that funds advanced research in universities and shares in the results. He was also the IBM representative on the board of the Semiconductor Industry Association. In 1985 President Reagan awarded Bloch the National Medal of Technology for his part in pioneering developments related to the IBM/360 computer that “revolutionized the computer industry.’ He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and a member of the Institute’s Computer Society. JOHN HALLE GUTFREUND, DOCTOR OF HUMANITIES A.B., Oberlin College, 1951. Chairman, president, and chief executive officer of the investment banking firm of Salomon Inc. in New York City and vice chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, John Gutfreund graduated from Oberlin with a major in English literature. He then spent two years in the army before joining Salomon Brothers in 1953 in the municipal department. After becoming syndicate manager in 1962 and a partner in the firm the next year, Gutfreund rose steadily through the company’s ranks, spearheading Salomon’s drive into underwriting in the 1960s; he was named executive part- ner of the firm in 1966 and managing partner in 1978. In 1981, after Salomon merged with Phibro Corp. to form Phibro-Salomon Inc., Gutfreund was named co-chair and co-chief executive officer of the publicly held corpora- tion. In 1984 he was named chief executive officer, chairman, and president of Phibro-Salomon, and since May 1986 he has headed the newly named Salo- mon Inc. Gutfreund has served as president and a member of the board of governors of the Bond Club of New York, chairman of the Investment Bank- ers Association, and a member of the board of directors of the Securities Industry Association. Gutfreund was an active member of Oberlin’s board of trustees between 1971 and 1986. He is presently chairman of the finance com- mittee and treasurer of the board of trustees of the New York Public Library, director of the Montefiore Medical Center Corporation, chairman of the Downtown-Lower Manhattan Association, Inc., 1986-87 chairman of the Wall Street Committee for Lincoln Center’s Corporate Fund Campaign, anda trustee of both the Joint Council on Economic Education and the Committee for Economic Development. THE MOST REVEREND DESMOND MPILO TUTU, DOCTOR OF DIVINITY B.A., University of South Africa (Pretoria), 1954; L.T.H., St. Peters Theolog- ical College (Johannesburg), 1960; B.Div., M.Th., University of London’s King’s College, 1963. The Most Reverend Desmond M. Tutu, Anglican arch- bishop of Cape Town, South Africa, is the recipient of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize for his “role as a unifying leader . . . in the campaign to resolve the problem of apartheid in South Africa” and “to direct attention to the nonvio- lent struggle for liberation,” of which he is a leading spokesman. Archbishop Tutu has also received the Onassis Award and the Union Medal from Union Theological Seminary. Born in the gold-mining town of Klerksdorp in the Transvaal region of South Africa, Archbishop Tutu was ordained an Anglican priest in 1961. Following his anti-apartheid speeches in Europe and the U.S. in the early 1980s, Archbishop Tutu’s passport was revoked. Since 1981 his trips abroad have been with “travel documents” on which his nationality is listed as ELLEN TAAFFE ZWILICH, DOCTOR OF MUSIC B.Mus., M.Mus., Florida State University, 1962; Ph.D., The Juilliard School, 1975. Ellen Taaffe Zwilich is the recipient of the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Music, the first woman ever to receive this award. Born in Miami, Fla., Zwilich began composing when she was 10 years old and was producing full-scale orchestral symphonies by the time she was 18. She studied with Elliot Carter and the late Roger Sessions at the Juilliard School; in 1975 she became the first woman to earn a doctorate in composition at Juilliard. Soon after Zwilich completed her doctoral degree, Pierre Boulez programmed her “Symposium for Orchestra” (1973) in New York, and it was later played by the American Symphony Orchestra under Kazuyoshi Akiyama. Since then she has received numerous awards and commissions. She has received the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Chamber Music Prize, a gold medal in the G.B. Viotti 26th annual interna- tional composition competition in Vercelli, Italy, and an award from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters; grants from the Martha 13 “undetermined.” Formerly bishop of Lesotho (1977-78) and then Johannes- burg (1984-86), Archbishop Tutu was installed in September 1986 as arch- bishop of Cape Town, thus becoming the first black to head the Anglican Church in the See of South Africa. Archbishop Tutu is chairman of the South African-based Educational Opportunities Council, which selects black South African students to attend U.S. colleges and universities under the U.S.-based South African Education Program (SAEP).
