Built by renowned scholars, supported by people of vision, nurtured by dedicated leaders, and located on a
beautiful tract of land long known as The Forest, Drew University is uniquely poised in its history become a
national leader in higher education, for in recent decades Drew has made innovation and distinction the watchwords of its identity.
Drew's innovative streak may stem from its birthright. Founded in 1866 as a seminary for the Methodist Episcopal Church in America, the school was endowed by Daniel Drew with what was at the time the largest gift to
American higher education. The financier, whose early cattle dealings gave birth to the original meaning of "
watered stock," managed the school's e n d o w m e n t through stock manipulations and speculation until in 1875 his
practices nearly bankrupted the young seminary. That crisis necessitated administrative resourcefulness and
faculty sacrifice to keep the school open.
However uncertain its beginnings, Drew has since grown into a university whose programs--from the Bachelor
of Arts to the Master of Divinity to the Doctor of Philosophy--are distinguished by an emphasis on intimate
learning and teaching. Drew's three schools--the College of Liberal Arts (1,500 students), the Graduate School (
350), a nd the Th e o l o g i c a l S c h o o l ( 3 5 0 ) - - sh a r e an i n s i s t en ce o n acad em i c ri g o r an d a s t u d e n t - c e n t e r e d p h i l o s o p hy t h a t
has educated nearly 14,000 living alumni and alumnae.
Dre w's fina n c i a l h e a l t h i s st r o n g a s w e l l , w i t h an $ 8 0 m i l l i o n e n d o w m e n t - - m a n a g e d far m o re carefu l l y t h an by
its founder--ranked a m o n g the top 100 universities in the United States for e n d o w m e n t per student.
These strengths have made innovation and distinction possible. In 1961 Drew's College of Liberal Arts established a special semester in London and followed with the United Nations Semester, both among the very first of
their kind; the university now operates a total of eight off-campus programs in London, Brussels, New York,

years later brought eminent retired research scientists together with undergraduates in the Charles A. Dana
Research Institute for Scientists Emeriti (RISE).
Drew added merit scholarships for high-achieving students in 1982, two years after Phi Beta Kappa awarded
Drew only its third chapter in New Jersey and the first among small schools in the state. In 1984 came the
Governor's School in the Sciences, an innovation of then-governor Thomas H. Kean. Each summer the four-week
school brings 100 of the state's brightest high school seniors to campus for enrichment in the sciences.
The university integrated computer technology into teaching and learning in 1984, when, through its Computer Initiative, Drew became the first comprehensive liberal arts institution to supply every entering undergraduate with a personal computer. The school extended the reach of technology in 1988 with the Knowledge Initiative,
a voice-data network that linked all students, faculty, and staff via their computers to each other, the library's card
catalog, special databases, and international networks--again first among liberal arts schools.
Other firsts include an arrangement that in 1988 created the U.S. Field Hockey Center at Drew through cooperation with the national sanctioning bodies for men's and women's field hockey and the U.S. Olympic Foundation. The c e nte r, w i t h i t s G e r m a n - t r a d e P o l i g r a s s u rface an d ag g reg at e b as e, rep res en t s t h e fi rs t fu l l -s cal e i n st allation of this revolutionary playing field system in the United States.
These innovations principally serve Drew's College of Liberal Arts, founded as Brothers College in 1928
through the generosity of New Jerseyan Leonard and Arthur Baldwin. The College offers majors in 26 disciplines, minors in 33, and the third-largest collegiate library in New .Jersey. Drew undergraduates, 50 percent of

median high school class rank of 90 percent, Drew students are among the strongest in the nation.
Innovation and distinction, moreover, are not limited to the College. The Graduate School offers an unusual

London, while the Master of Letters program, which studies the foundations of Western intellectual thought, is
self-consciously interdisciplinary. Throughout its nearly century-long tradition of graduate education and certainly since the Graduate School's formal creation in 1955, the Drew Graduate School has emphasized interdisciplinary study in its nine degree programs.

THOMAS H. KEAN
Teaching is the only job I have ever had that can compare to being governor of a great state," wrote then-New
J e r s e y G o v e r n o r T h o m a s H . K e a n i n h i s b o o k , The Politics of Inclusion ( 1 9 8 8 ) .
Not surprisingly, education became a hallmark of his political career, from his beginning in the New Jersey
Assembly in 1968 through his two terms as New .Jersey's 48th governor (1982-1990). While Speaker of the
Asse mbly (1972-7 4 ) , M r . Ke a n w r o t e t h e b i l l t h at es t ab l i s h ed t h e E d u cat i o n al O p p o r t u n i t y F u n d fo r d i s ad v an t ag ed
students wishing to attend college, and he shepherded it into law.
Under his gubernatorial leadership, New Jersey became the first state to adopt alternative routes to teacher
certification and the first to take over urban school districts that repeatedly fail to educate students. Governor

And to enhance the education of the state's brightest high school seniors, he founded college-based s u m m e r
programs, known as Governor's Schools, in the arts, the sciences, public service, and the environment.
New Jersey's colleges and universities have also benefited from his educational emphasis. The governor

environmental protection, toxic waste control, tax reduction, and welfare reform. Governor Kean was elected to
his second term with the largest landslide in New Jersey history, in the process carrying 60 percent of AfricanAmerican voters and more than two-thirds of union households. Constitutionally barred from a third term, he
returns to education as the 10th president of Drew University. He has said his new job will allow him "to reconnect with the younger generation."

L AMARA LEXANDER
Like Thomas H. Kean, Lamar Alexander has served as the governor of a great state. Like Governor Kean, he
too made education a priority and went on to become the president of a university. And like his colleague on the
dais, Lamar Alexander is one of his state's best-known figures.
Raised in Marysville, Tennessee, in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, Mr. Alexander is the son of
parents who were teachers. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Vanderbilt University and from New York Unive rsity La w Sch o o l . A R e p u b l i c a n i n a h e a v i l y D em o crat i c s t at e, h e ran u n s u cces s fu l l y fo r t h e g o v ern o r's p o s t in
1974 but returned in 1978 to win election and eventually became the first Tennessee governor to serve eight
consecutive years, 1979-1987.

James B. Conant Award in 1988 from the Education Commission of the States. An avid hiker, he also headed
President Reagan's Commission on the Outdoors and in 1987 received one of six National Collegiate Athletic
Association Silver Anniversary Awards for eminent former student-athletes.

may be worn open or closed.
Hoods, worn across the throat and over the shoulders, reflect the official colors of the school granting the
degree, with the length of the hood running from three feet for the bachelor's degree to four feet for the
doctoral degree. The color of velvet represents the wearer's field of learning and can generally he glimpsed
near the wearer's throat, while the school colors are contained in the lining at the back of the hood.

The university seal was created to celebrate the institution's new status in 1928 when the Drew
Theological Seminary of the Methodist Episcopal Church added Brothers College (now the
College of Liberal Arts) and changed its name to Drew University. This 1928 seal replaced an
earlier one on which the words "Drew Theological Seminary 1866" encircled a bust of the school'
s founder, Daniel Drew. According to the minutes of trustee meetings, design and adoption of the
new seal required only two months. The seal's designers, directed by President
Ezra Squier Tipple, bequeathed no explanation of its symbolism, but the tree in the center surely represents Drew'
s mighty oaks and The Forest, so named from before the Revolutionary War. The placement of the hook, probably
the Bible, on the tree suggests the Tree of Life or the Tree of Knowledge, both apt associations. The Greek
inscription from the New Testament, Matthew 10:8, is the university motto: "Freely have you received, freely
give." The reference to 1868 can be confusing. Although the university dates its founding from 1866 and the
beginning of instruction, Drew was not officially incorporated until 1868. From the seal's adoption until 1961, it
was Drew's most prominent emblem. Although the trustees designated the shield as the university's symbol after
1961, the seal is still used on all official documents requiring it, including all diplomas.

recipient of the master of arts degree from Oxford. In the Oxford coat of arms, top left, the
crowns represent faith, hope and love. The motto "the Lord is my light" appears on a hook with
seven seals, a reference to Revelation 5:1 and Isaiah 29:11-12. The Lincoln College coat of
arms, top right, is proportioned into three panels: the arms of Bishop Fleming, the arms of the resident Bishop of
Lincoln College, and the arms of Bishop Rotherham. The bottom crest, that of Christ Church, is the coat of arms
of its founder, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. The rose at the top is emblematic of the House of Lancaster. The birds
are Cornish choughs (crow family), the heraldic use of which was granted to Wolsey by Henry VIII. The lion represents Pope Leo X.

schools. The major maces -- one to lead the academic procession, one to lead the President's Party -- are more

The Tower Bells which will peal for 90 seconds at the conclusion of today's service were made in 1927 by Maneely Bell Company of Troy, New York, and installed in the same year in the new Brothers College tower. There
they rang the Westminster chime for generations of Drew students until they stopped working more than a decade
ago. Today, the Senior Class Gilt of the College Class of 1984 is realized with the 24-change, manual ringing of
the repaired bells. Each of the four bells is bronze, with the largest weighing some 560 pounds. They range in size

During the ceremony the president will receive a 21-inch by 20-inch framed print of a white oak, a gift emblematic of the tree to be planted near Mead Hall in his name. An engraved plate on the framed print reads, "Presented to Thomas H. Kean from the Alumni Associations of Drew University on the Occasion of His Inauguration-April 20, 1990." Majestic trees have always been central to Drew tradition. The campus encompasses a stand of
primeval forest in the Drew Forest Preserve, two landmark trees listed among the oldest in the Borough of
Madison, and the Hardin Oak, estimated at nearly 400 years of age, which honors Drew's immediate past president. The oak embodies the seeds of enlightenment that a university sows, the collegiality that thrives on deeply

This third-century terra cotta oil lamp from Palestine, complete with authenticating documents, recalls the
complex cultural matrix out of which Christianity evolved and symbolizes Drew University's chief reason for
existence: the acquisition of knowledge and wisdom and the unfettered exchange of ideas. Whether interpreted
secularly or theologically, this symbol highlights the biblical charge to "let your light so shine."

The Alma Mater
Amid the tow'ring forest
Thy halls of learning stand;
Thy name our purpose to uphold,
We'll spread through all the land.
Thy colors ever glorious
Still wave on high so true;
All hail to Drew forevermore,
All hail the green and blue.
The years so swiftly passing
New heirs to thee will bring.
With loyal, true and honest hearts,
To thee they'll ever sing.
For years they'll dwell within thy halls
Midst scenes we love so well,
And they will learn to love thee too,
And of thy glory tell.
And when the shadows lengthen,
And sunset tints the blue,
Then to my mem 'ry comes again,
A thought that s ever new.
Thy colors high before us wave,
A challenge to be true.
All hail our alma mater fair.
All hail to dear oId Drew.
Words by John E. Barclay, C'35
