FRIDAY, JANUARY SEVENTEENTH, TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN
Monmouth University was founded in 1933 as the Central Jersey
Shore’s first center of higher education. Its beginning was attended by
an outpouring of support from the state’s educational community
and great expectations of good. Now in the year 2014, Monmouth
University celebrates its history and enjoys its role as a forward
looking, comprehensive university.
Today, well launched into its second half century, Monmouth has
fulfilled its early expectations. The University’s 156-acre campus in
suburban West Long Branch connects Monmouth with New Jersey’s
historic past. Woodrow Wilson Hall, the University’s administrative
center, is a National Historic Landmark, and the Guggenheim cottage,
a wing of the Monmouth University Library, is listed on the National
Register of Historic Places.
Monmouth University serves an enrollment of approximately 6,000
undergraduate and graduate students—a richly diverse group that
comes from 31 states and from 29 foreign nations. The student
body includes traditional-age students, young professionals pursuing
advanced studies, and men and women resuming studies in preparation
for a career change or for personal enrichment. Within Monmouth’s
eight schools—the Leon Hess Business School, the Wayne D.
McMurray School of Humanities and Social Sciences, the School
of Education, the School of Science, the School of Social Work, the
Marjorie K. Unterberg School of Nursing and Health Studies, the
Honors School, and the Graduate School—students pursue their
studies in 55 different undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
At Monmouth, students participate in more than 80 extracurricular
organizations and special interest activities, in addition to an NCAA
Division I Athletics program, which fields 21 men’s and women’s
teams.

HONORARY DEGREE
ROBERT SANTELLI ’73
Doctor of Letters, honoris causa
Presented by Trustee James S.Vaccaro, III
Robert Santelli, ’73, executive director of the Los Angeles-based GRAMMY Museum, is a noted blues and rock historian,
author, educator, and founding director of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Santelli has written widely on
Jersey Shore music, its wider cultural implications, and speaks with passion about his journey from youthful music fan
to distinguished expert on the national stage, while acknowledging the role Monmouth has played in his personal and
professional development.
“Opportunity is the word that is most synonymous for me when it comes to Monmouth, he said. “I had opportunities
here, people believed in what I wanted to do, and they supported me—whether it was as a student or as a faculty member
when I returned to teach. I always had that sense of opportunity being here and it was mine to grasp, and I did.”
An active supporter of—and key figure in the acquisition of—the Bruce Springsteen archive housed at Monmouth
University since 2011, Santelli is an expert on the Jersey Shore music scene that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Although Santelli is an authority with first-hand experience of the unique musical scene that emerged from the Jersey
Shore and its undisputed break-out star, Bruce Springsteen, his expertise spans much wider than the Jersey Shore. Santelli
has written and edited more than a dozen books about music, including several on blues, rock, and folk. His most recent
book, Wild and Innocent: The Rise of Bruce Springsteen and the Resurrection of Rock and Roll, has a publication date in 2015.
His diverse body of published material also includes tourist guides to the Jersey Shore and The Baseball Fan’s Bucket List:
162 Things You Must Do, See, Get, and Experience Before You Die, co-authored with his daughter, Jenna.
Following an early career as a high school history teacher, Santelli went on to write about popular music for Rolling Stone
and The New York Times. He taught popular music as an important part of the historical record at the college level at both
Monmouth University and Rutgers, and is widely regarded as a principal spokesperson for the music of the twentieth
century, and an expert at illuminating how popular music has informed both the American individual and the American
culture. Additionally, Santelli served as the music critic for The Asbury Park Press from 1974 to 1988.
Robert Santelli joined the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in 1993, and served as the Vice President of
Education and Public Programs. There he created the American Music Masters Series, the Hall of Fame Series, and Oral
History Project, as well as many other educational and public programs.
In 2000, Santelli joined Experience Music Project as CEO and Artistic Director. There he created over thirty exhibits,
many of which traveled throughout the United States and Europe, including the groundbreaking exhibit Bob Dylan’s
American Journey, 1956–1966.
When AEG decided to partner with The Recording Academy to develop The GRAMMY Museum as part of its L.A. LIVE
entertainment district in downtown Los Angeles, the obvious choice to head this project was Robert Santelli. With years
of experience as an executive at both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland and Experience Music
Project in Seattle, Santelli possessed the dynamic vision and creativity needed for this project. Since opening in 2008, The
GRAMMY Museum has not only created cutting-edge exhibits and dynamic public programs, but has also produced six
educational programs at The White House, hosted by first lady Michelle Obama.

DISTINGUISHED TEACHER AWARD
2013 RECIPIENT
VINCENT DIMATTIO
Vincent DiMattio, professor of art, served as the department chair for thirteen years and as a gallery director for
more than twenty years. He was largely responsible for starting the gallery program at the University. In 1999, his
thirty-year Monmouth Retrospective Exhibition, comprising nearly 200 pieces, was shown on campus, with selections
from the show serving as his first New York City retrospective at the Susan Berke Gallery and the 101 Wooster
Street Gallery. He has shown internationally in Madrid, Spain; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Pueblo, Mexico. He has
also exhibited throughout the United States. He has lectured at the Facultad de Bellas Artes, University of Madrid,
and, in 2005, he received a $10,000 grant from the Liquitex Paint Company for the completion of over sixty “tube
paintings,” which led to a major exhibition at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, New Jersey. In 2004, he
co-authored the book The Drawings and Watercolors of Lewis Mumford with his colleague Kenneth Stunkel, which
was published by the prestigious Edwin Mellen Press. DiMattio earned an MFA degree from Southern Illinois
University and a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art. He joined Monmouth’s faculty in 1968.

THE ACADEMIC PROCESSION AND REGALIA
For the benefit of our visitors’ the following information, digested from “An Academic Costume Code and Ceremony
Guide” prepared by the American Council on Education, may prove helpful in identifying the costumes you will see in the
Commencement procession.
The history of academic dress reaches far back into the earliest days of the oldest universities. A statute of 1321 required
that all “Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors” of the University of Coimbra wear gowns. In England, in the second
half of the fourteenth century, the statutes of certain colleges prescribed the wearing of a long gown. In the sixteenth
and seventeeth centuries in Europe, the wearing of a robe often signified a degree candidate’s political or religious
affiliation; in the northern universities and those of the British Isles, the robes signified that tuition and boarding fees
of the wearer had been paid and also entitled him to special immunities in civil law—as well as providing him warmth
at lectures and chapel.
When American colleges and universities desired to adopt some suitable system of academic apparel, a conference
held at Columbia University in 1895, made up of representatives from various institutions, drew up a “By-Law,
Regulation, or Statute” for the establishment of a suitable code of academic dress for colleges and universities in the
United States. This code, with modifications made in 1959 by the Committee on Academic Costumes and Ceremonies
of the American Council on Education, is still in force; the costumes and colors, trimmings, and patterns you will see
are traditional, and interpret both the degree and field of learning. The bachelor’s gown, designed to be worn closed,
has pointed sleeves; the master’s gown, which may be worn open or closed, has an oblong sleeve open at the wrist that
hangs down in the traditional manner. The rear part of its oblong shape is square cut, and the front part has the arc
cut away. The doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves. It may be worn open or closed.
Black is the recommended color for all academic gowns. Bachelor’s and master’s gowns are untrimmed. Doctor’s gowns
are faced with black velvet, with three bars across the sleeves, or the color of the velvet may be that which is distinctive
to the degree, agreeing with that of the edging of the hood. In the 1960s, many American land-grant universities
adopted the British and the Scottish tradition of using the official school color(s) for the robes of their doctoral
recipients—for instance, Yale: sky blue; Harvard: crimson; University of Pennsylvania: scarlet and blue; Columbia:
slate gray; Rutgers: deep red and black.
The colors you will see in the hoods of our faculty represent the various fields in which the degrees were taken:
Apricot: Nursing
Orange: Engineering
Brown: Fine Arts
Pink: Music
Citron: Social Work
Purple: Law
Crimson: Journalism
Sage Green: Physical Education
Dark Blue: Philosophy
Salmon Pink: Public Health
Golden Yellow: Science
Scarlet: Theology
Green: Medicine
Yellow-Brown: Commerce, Business, Accountancy
Lemon-Yellow: Library Science
White: Arts, Letters, Humanities
Light Blue: Education
The hoods, differing in length for the three degrees—bachelor’s, master’s, and doctor’s—are lined with the official
colors of the university or college conferring the degree, usually with one color forming a chevron pattern over the
other. Hoods are edged and bound with velvet or the color appropriate for the degree. You will see in our procession
many hoods edged with dark blue, representing doctor of philosophy.
Mortarboards are the approved headgear. The tassel, worn on the left side of the cap, may be of gold if the holder has
a doctor’s degree.
In the procession, first come the faculty members, then the candidates for degrees arranged in the order in which
degrees are to be conferred, and finally, the speakers, trustees, administrative officers, candidates for honorary degrees,
and other members of the platform party.
