our honorary degree candidates each of them is a role model and inspiration for our community. We have three honorary degree candidates this year. Maestro Raymond the part on Fortune is unable to be with us though he's looking forward to receiving his degree tomorrow. And we're looking forward to recognizing his very significant contributions to the world of music. Next candidate is really for her a show Alger story. In fact Jack Gill received an award from the Horatio Alger foundation. It's this award recognized his exceptional commitment to excellence his initiative and his hard work. He is a highly respected scientist educated educator and businessman and a truly visionary entrepreneur.
He's combined an outstanding record of achievement with a commitment to philanthropy. Jack is supported by the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences combo sub Swami. Jack and Linda in Tao the college's center for instrumentation and measurement sciences. In fact Jack has a strong relationship with three schools at Indiana University. The Kelley School the college as well as the school of music he brings his talent for creative problem solving to each and every relationship. Now let me just tell you one story that illustrates this point. Jack serves on the college's advisory board a couple years ago after Wiley hall was renovated the Department of Economics was ready to move out of Ballantine into their wonderful new space. But there was one problem. No furniture. And the college. Most
surprisingly had no money to buy anything. Well Jack to the rescue Jack had a suggestion. He knew that IBM was downsizing in Chicago so he suggested that co-op as development officer suit so green. Susan Green give them a call in a few days. We sent a truck up to IBM. Came back full of great furniture which is now in Wylie hall. Jack's been a great supporter of the Kelley School and an aspiring mentor to his students. He and his wife Linda regularly open their Houston home to you music students. And I must add at this point that this is a wonderful weekend for the gill family because Linda herself is receiving an honorary degree at the University of Kentucky on Sunday. Thank God a family or a family.
Jack and Linda have done much to further the school music's mission. As George Walker put it the name Gail is synonymous with high ideals and character traits such as commitment to learning Welty and a spirit of untiring generosity. We are proud and pleased to be able to count Jacques and Linda Gail as amongst friends of this university. Jack congratulations to you for a well deserved award and you may have a few words to say I suppose. Thank you. I don't think I know what to say after those kind remarks. Thank you. What I would tell you is our family special relationship with Indiana University began in 1033 when Linda cellists Gill's father earned his backyard degree here and so that made us a
first generation. That was long before I knew George or Linda. Lynn and I met in San Francisco after I had finished my graduate work here I was here from 58 to 62 so by virtue of Mary's Delenda that made us second generation. Those of you who know us know that we raised our family in Berkeley in Palo Alto and as transplanted South Westerners and Midwesterners we had come to believe that kids who grew up in California have a distorted view of the world for some reason. Maybe some of you know what I'm talking about. But you know it's hard to explain it to young children so we thought the best way to influence that was to send a mall to eastern or Middle Western colleges and it worked with all four of them to one degree or another. Oh introduce them in a moment. And it particularly worked with their twin sons Jason and Tyler who graduated in Palo Alto and 90. And we were grateful when Tyler chose to come here his undergraduate studies
class in 94 so that made us third generation IQ. Now with all that family history what makes it particularly interesting is between Lynne and myself in these four kids kids I call them they don't like that anymore. We have 14 universities between us. So that's a lot of family schools and makes for a lot of fun and you can imagine I get a lot of mail. Yeah. But I want you to know that in a in a family of equals we all plug our own favorites. Indiana stands right up there first among equals by virtue of being the only one with three generations and the only one with three of the five six of us having I-You degrees. So I'd like to introduce it tonight Madeleine Chalis first Medlen whose late husband George chalices Linda's father the class of 33. Now you
know. Madeline lives in Tulsa. Her oldest son Jeff Gill Jeff Gill grew up in Berkeley. UCLA Georgetown an American user his family schools and now a professor of political science at University of Florida. His wife Karen is not with him. She's home with the two grandchildren that we enjoy very much. Welcome Jeff. We have only one daughter took her on one of those famous Eastern Midwestern father daughter tours and I brought her to Bloomington and nicely she was offered a scholarship and I we were hoping that might be our first I-You connection but she chose to go to Wellesley MIT and Stanford instead and we forgiven her for all of that. Jennifer and her husband Paul are here from Palo Alto. And then the twin sons Tyler class of 94 and Jason
Gilroy's Jason. MBA class of 2001 today. So Miles I want to thank you for our special honor and recognition it wasn't something we needed or expected but it's a great full honor to be so named. And it's particularly great pleasure to have all the family here to be with us thank you very much. Thank you. Our next worthy candidate I should say is well known to all of you. Ken Gross who us Ken has provided this campus with distinguished and visionary leadership for over two decades. And he's always done so with integrity judgment wit in grace. He's championed the cause of diversity and
he's been a wonderful friend and mentor to many faculty student leaders and staff. Ken has always recognized that academic leadership is a collaborative process. He's a passionate advocate for excellence and he's aspired us all with his love of literature is eloquent speeches University ceremonies a touch of class. The Dean of this school of journalism Trevor Brown characterizes Ken's leadership in these terms and I quote. He says that in his role as chancellor Kenna civilize the most painful sources of change by weaving them into an academic heritage traditions and values of the Bloomington campus. In this day and age managing change is the most difficult challenge for any academic leader. I believe we would all agree that no one besides Chancellor Wells has served the university better than can. And Ken
will tell you that he learned a great deal from Herman as we all have. Early in Ken's career as chancellor he attended an event with Chancellor Wells had given a speech and Hermann talked about the momentous decision. It took place 40 years ago to found the program whose members he was then addressing and he described in great detail the quality of the day in which this decision was made it was a sunny day a cloudless day. Birds singing in the trees. And he painted an inspiring picture of the circumstances and the discussion out of which the program had begun and grown. Afterwards when Ken and Herman had a moment alone Ken complimented her on the talk and particularly on his ability to inspire office and to remember in detail what had happened and Herman said it really didn't happen that way. I think it was raining. The day was chilly. There were no birds
but then Chessell Wells went on to. But people have a good story unsupported to retell history in a way that raises their hopes and helps them set their sights higher. Well can learn just lessons. And he's learned them well. And he has been raising our sights and helping us accomplish great things for decades. Had he not shared his talents with us. Bloomington would not be what it is today and I mean that most sincerely he deserves a lot of credit for the excellence and charm and growth of the campus. It's been a deep personal privilege for me to work with Ken these years. I've learned from him. We will all miss him very much. But I also learned long ago to take some of the stories with a grain of salt.
And so with that introduction. I invite Ken to say a few words about the honorary degree. And if you can recall he might tell us a little bit about the history of this room. The to. Have course someone prepared to talk about the room. But it's possible I may find some old notes here someplace. Not sure. I did before doing that I'd like to thank the honorary degrees Committee of the university faculty Council Paul Eisenberg as its chair. Where is Paul. Paul thank you very much and your committee and to thank the trustees and miles for proving this degree which is a great great honor and I like it a lot.
Luckily somebody asked me earlier do you know anything about the federal room. And I thought to myself well I may have some things I might be able to recall. This is going to be by the way Kurt in English not Anglo-Saxon but that's OK with you. I mean most universities perhaps especially this one and not museums in the sense of the objects and spaces that we experience at the Metropolitan or the Art Institute of Chicago other places like them has said all across this campus are items even in buildings we may call museums that have some living connection to our You are special people who helped to create its history. They are gifts from those who want to show their affection for the institution or the individuals who made it up and made their own histories and collectively they make
up in DNA diversity. If you walk around campus notice so many benches trees Gates rooms archways walks carry the name in honor of some person or relative perhaps an entire class the bench to Maxwell with a black eye you saw in the class of 1015. Sometimes a graduate Hoagy Carmichael room sometimes a patron the Miller camp a villian. Sometimes an inspirational fact remember. The Billy Greenleaf wing a forest so to this room and the parlor connected to it. Both are closely linked to Herman B wells. And to friends of the campus whose lives he touched and whose lives were often intertwined with his. First the room itself. Well certainly some years ago there was a struggle to have this federal room built in the first place because as much pressure on him to add a large wing to buy a house to see
75 people for dinner. Wells told me that was a mistake. That the Union Building was the heart and the heart of the campus. And more importantly such a room should not belong to the president he said but it should belong to everybody. As he often did he prevailed and the room in parlor we constructed in 1980 modeled on similar spaces including enclosure with Williamsburg has today in federal room. December 14th 1945 a letter the thank you my dear Mr. Wells. I can assure you it has been a great satisfaction to know that you approved of our treasures and of our proposal to pass them on to university where there will be a properly housed and appreciated not only for the aesthetic value but for their educational one as well. So for surrounding generations of students all of which give them the
treasures and kind of lasting immortality. And a haven. Perhaps I should say a heaven where they should be. This thought is a very comforting one to Margaret Magee Logansport Indiana. February 24th 1946 my dear Mr. Wells. So going out to Europe or to Greece rather recently to announce in the Chicago Tribune as an observer a delegate to the Greek vote on their upcoming elections. When you return I would like to have a more definite understanding with you as to how many of our household goods and objects of art you would like us to turn over the university wholly or in part. And good luck to you to the oars. Margaret McGee the series of letters from one thousand forty five thousand nine hundred fifty. Eight between wells that are going to be including their exchanging drinking songs for
talking through her talking about beating Notre Dame in football and saying nothing about a football game. But you're delighted Indiana won and as he was as well. As a massive story of Wells tells both an anecdote about Wells and about Bill Armstrong. Bill Armstrong and then a Danielson many of you know were classmates and a bad football year. Bill and Danny started to tell all the students on campus that if Indiana beat Iowa. The classes were canceled on Monday. So this went around Indiana won the game. Bill Armstrong gets back to his room is a message a president Wells want to see you tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. his office. Sobell and then to go into the office and well says we can't we can't cancel classes just because a football game
rages. But Armstrong if you knew him. Said we understand Mr. President what about if we'd be produced. And Wells paused and said You've got a deal. And indeed Indiana be pretty too and the money classes were canceled. So I 1958 the will of Mark McGee to the trustees of in the end of our city. She left the contents of her home with the provision that they be select jewelry silver cover let's laces linens glass and china furniture oriental rugs and other objects and put them in appropriate places in the university. And then another clause. All dishes glassware furnishings and miscellaneous household items not selected for museum display are to be given by the IAU trustees to young married couples. Who are in degrees that are you
and don't have the means to begin their household furnishings. And indeed I'm told by wells for 15 years linens towels etc from that estate went to students who were married in that chapel. In this room many of the objects in the cabinets for Mark McGhee who's father was Rufus McGee minister to Norway and Sweden under Grover Cleveland 1885 to 1889. He editor of a newspaper cutting newspaper in Logansport Indiana cum newspapers were very very important influential. He later one of the founders of the then press became something else President the state senate normally desk is here is not here tonight. I mean my props are not here tonight. So this is the. This unfortunately norm is a desk behind me
here you gotta believe me. Andrew Charles Blow day an 18th century cabinet maker who was famous in late would you get a picture here of the desk with him it would be his desk. But the objects many of the pottery in this room porcelain will wear the bronze of soapstone the Italian China antique Oriental Mury pottery all gifts from her and one of her letters just to Wells. I don't want things picked over at auction. And probably the. Piece at a dentist by the mice and candelabra. There's one in that cabinet and one in this cabinet. They are porcelain candelabras with a detachable top for candle holder supported by a figure of a woman holding a child and decorated many roses and leaves the candlesticks the one stolen from this room
and is only to have in the end I think there was a note. They returned about two weeks later saying thank you. These added much too I did a party. And only only in the end I think would that be true. The ceremonial cup on the top shelf of that cabinet was a gift from Chancellor wells. He and his mother. Were traveling in England and this is called the ceremonial cup or Sheffield mace made by 18:00 time of George the Third and Wilson's mother noticed that at the Century Club in London when there were events such as this the cup was used as a centerpiece instead of flowers. So he thought he save university money by bringing this back and having that as a centerpiece. But then he told me over the years much is chagrined when the cup was used it was full of flowers. So is plan A plan to not work out.
Silver tray here on my left. Is from the USS Indiana when the ship was decommissioned in 1963. It was a gift to Welles from then Congressman William Bray from Martinsville. And this from the ward room the USS Indiana. On the shelf above it is a want to set. There was a gift. From the silent street actress Louise dresser in honor of her grandparents who were from Terre Haute. It was give to the grandparents. They celebrate the 25th anniversary in 1873 and she gave to university in the 1980s and Welles decided to put it in his room. I should add that Welles and I often with. With Elise Jordan whose husband was direct the Union for many many years came here on many occasions over the last 20 years and Welles would reminisce about things in this room and the people he knew and what he did for me. I'm trying to do for you which is to bring this room to
life. This is not a room of objects that were purchased. It's a room of objects that were given by people who had great affection for the university. And for us as well of course. Speaking of silver one of my props was often Silver said over here that's gone tonight. All my props are gone. And one of those visits with Wells at least Jordan. She said Elise Jordan said what happened to the silver in the air was given by Arthur Metz at the Met suite it was a huge set of silver silver with Pearl handles. And Winston Chanel direct to the union. Said you've been here since 1981. Never seen it. And last year one of his employees said he had the key to the chest. And those who were here last year remember that I know with a chest to unlock it. Most of you know of course I'm not the first time it was unlocked.
Although I pretend it was the first time was unlocked. And indeed pulled out the silver and there it was. But that propaganda Well I'm not at all. Speaking of chest Wells told me that when he was president one of his something that he enjoyed doing for recreation he had a passion for antique chests and he would travel with Claude rich. I think some of you in this room know how to Kentucky. Claude had a passion for Kentucky bourbon. So the two of them probably had a very good weekend together. And Wells bought many of the antique all the antique chests in this building when you leave the room if you're going back to the hotel. All those checks you passed along to Wells ex about so many that he gave them to the union building. There is one that's been moved to a wooden house and there's some in some of the antique rooms in the hotel section.
Often Wells told me that he would buy a chest and the auctioneer would come up afterwards and say chancer Well I'm sorry but you can't buy that chest and you said why not. And there actually was that well where you bought it four years ago. And you asked me to keep it for you. And we also say well I'm glad my taste is as good now as it was then it was a response. Now the chandelier in this room was made by the firm of. Eggers and he Guinn's in New York. There's a state law that because it's one of the largest chandeliers of its type There always must be a table under it. It's fallen only once. Although some years ago. And it is when I was here the English department had a reception here and we invited a lot of speakers to come to campus.
So Tony Morrison came in Alice Walker and Marge Piercy And as I think Jack has already touched on something special about this place. As you all know I think. And Tony Morrison and all them would say that they would go outside of the Union Building stand in the corner and if they were there more than 30 seconds a student come up and say May I help you. In a city Morrison said if you New York City and something is up and says that you run. Here but you really felt the warmth of that. But that may help you. And I think that's something says a lot. About about this place the chandelier in the parlor. Now here is a gift from a Mr. Mrs. William Griffith. He was a. Classmate of wells in 1906 and
his wife had a choice in the 30s getting the chandelier or buying a new Cadillac. Unfortunate for us she chose the chandelier. And when this room was done Wells visited the Griffiths home. And said the chandelier was ideal for the federal room. Then I come across in the archives this wonderful letter. I think one of the letters from wells to Joe Franklin Sr. who was then the vice president treasurer Wells writes in accordance with our plan. I visited the Gryphus home on February 3 1060 the antique bronze and crystal chandelier was extremely handsome writes wells. Mr James concurs with me on this. This is ideal for the federal room although it is Louis 15 design. He feels it would greatly enhance the room though it is not of the period of the room. He does not hesitate
mixing periods wallpapers of French origin and the carpet is French origin. When I write to Bill I'll tell him I want to see how sick I am about getting this for the federal parlor. And then well says I hope that you will still feel free to enquire as to the plans for other furniture in the house. As they move to a new place. There are many handsome pieces which I noticed and which. Which would lead add much to the union building and would have little chance for sale in today's market. And then Wells writes I specially noticed the following. And he has a list. This is tapestry south wall central hall. Marble top table north wall. Grand Piano South Irving room table lamp south living room Brahma to sell sun room.
Needle Point screen North entry. Sofa north west sitting room asterisk asterisk down below. This is a piece not suitable for the union. But at a reasonable price I would gladly buy it personally and he goes on draperies north and west north and west most sun rooms rugs all over the place. Hall County and the list goes on and so credible the well's who obviously knew the group has. Went through this inventory of things that could be used in the union building making the footnote to three items saying if these are not suitable for the union. But I'll buy them. Maysie man. The the wallpaper in the parlor is a depiction. First done in
1834. Called Scenic America. It's tourist impressions of 19th century America. French in origin. PRODUCED BY HAND process wood blocks. Sixteen hundred seventy four of them. There are six scenes and they repeat it twice out there. The scenes of Boston Harbor Winnebago Indians the Natural Bridge of Virginia Niagara Falls. West Point and New York Bay. So it was first printed in 1834. It was used by Jacqueline Kennedy in her restoration of the door of the Diplomatic Reception Room in the White House. Somehow Wells heard about this and before it was in the Diplomatic Reception Room he got some copies of the paper for here bridged by young senator 1962. Go to the White House and Jacqueline Kennedy says this is the first time this paper's been seen. Since the 19th century.
Bush told me he was smart enough not to say no. It's in the federal. But then for two to sleep I find out tonight that Jack Gill at the same wallpaper in his Palo Alto house. And Jack tells me that there are six originals two out here that is two repetitions. The one that Jack had you say one in Chicago and the other Jack. You know I went to Los Angeles. So I had the copies made sense then. And Jack says that at a current price would you estimate this is worth that we would have to tear it down. Now it's gone tomorrow. We'll take it. Sounds good to me. And we'll throw in the Picasso from the museum as well. And I think I'm for to it as it was a Jacobin to be here on this night to tell me about these
other. These other places. Also over the years some of you have suspected that the wallpaper was not really in the White House. However this year I have to go look at it after if you want. Fact remember in the School of Music I can walk a wonderful bassoonist performed at the White House dinner. Here's a picture of Kim Walker with the guest and the Clintons and there's the wallpaper in the background. Here's proof that it really is there. Because I know some of the some of you suspect that I'm making up the story I don't make up these stories. When I make up some of the stories. But. On the whole this is a very accurate account of this. Of this room. Now the piano out here is a. It's very unusual square piano and I'm sorry it's not open to a square piano I mean if you open it up you see inside that it's a
square. It was manufactured by 1850. Given by a woman named Eloise Beardsley who we called her grandmother used to practice on the piano in the 1840s. I must say I thought until last year Eloise Eloise Beardsley the donor was long deceased but May 23rd of 2000 after her mobiles died. The director's union building got this letter to Mr. Bell in October. I had the pleasure and honor to be at a luncheon in the federal room on the occasion of the announcement of the recipient of the chair my daughter and I have given to you. It was a pleasure and a static moment for me upon entering the room to see the antique bacon and Raven square piano there was part of my mother's antique collection. And when she died in 1973 I gave it to the university where she had and my father
had met and later married. And now with the passing of our beloved Hermy. That October luncheon is all the more precious to me. I had the pleasure of sitting next to her out her me during the luncheon. Here's my luncheon partner. And what a storm we chatted up. He has known and been a fraternity member for generations of my family including my late husband. In whose name I don't doubt the chair. That's what it was not of the thing but a wonderful letter about. Now to four generations of the family that she knew it has been. Extraordinary to me. I was trying to do something new each year. The archives tells me that they get calls asking about a
plate that was made of a moral Hall which is the first women's dormitory in Bloomington. It was opened in 1904. Last fall and loved us. I didn't know the letter and said I was that at an antique show. And there's a plate Memorial Hall in Bloomington. And here it is. It happened at the end of thing here. Is a Wedgewood plate. It was from the daughters of the American Revolution. Printed in 1984 and a pretty large numbers were made. But the archives has no copy of it. The head of the Archives has been in touch with Wedgwood and they say if you send us a picture of the plate and what's written on the back we give you more information about it. So my intention is to give this to the archives and let them follow through on whatever information they may have. And then if possible to
put it in these in this cabinet. But it says something about the university that is alumnus at this empty place in Massachusetts. I saw this. Bought it. Sent it to me didn't know me. I don't know him and said I thought it was but if you don't have it there for me. So he has this. This by the way was in in commemoration of what the women did during World War one given by the deer. We're probably wondering who is looking at us in these paintings. You must have wondered who's looking at us. Probably didn't wonder who's looking at us. To my left is Booth Tarkington who won two Pulitzer Prizes for novels 17 and Penrod But also interestingly was an Indiana state legislator and has a long
tradition now stopped unfortunately that literary figures were prominent in government as well. John Milton the author of Paradise Lost etc. was all of a crime wells and secretary or secretary of state centrally during the interregnum in mid 17th century England talking it was a real rascal. His father sent him to all kinds of schools. My book has always kicked out of the schools and he and a friend of his drove east and they would stop at towns find the name of the mayor and then send a note saying. All this discovered your best bet is to leave town immediately. And then they move on. Talking and done by put it pinnacle Wayman Adams was very very well known. Person To his right is William Iden Jr. a painter from Richmond Indiana. It's a self-portrait and his works hang in a lot of museums in the country
the most prominently. If you go to New York next go to the Waldorf Astoria and they all have a story apparently both in the lobby and many of the conference rooms and paintings by Biden Jr.. The picture over here to my right. This is Jack Gill. There's something Linda was able to find when Jack was 14. And he was preparing for the trial for part of The Sound of Music. I'm right here this is the state flower now the peony the peony was not the state flower until 1957 and in the legislature. Legislature was I was about to approve having the. Having the Zinnia as a state flower. A commercial peony grower. From Noblesville.
Inserted a a rioter to a bill change the state flower to the peony a commercial peanut grower. He says the speaker of the house. This is just a joke don't worry about it passed 87 to 1. So the peony grower did very well I think making a PND this a flower. Well no here is a woman named Mary quick Burnett. She and her husband had no children but they. But 17 students through college while she was alive she died in the 1980s. There's also Raymond Adams and if you do it look at the painting. It's unusual because the hands and arms are draped and the two stories I've heard one is that she did not like the gown she was sitting on and therefore half of the one sitting with Waymon Adams refused to have a second sitting. The story they're like it's better
not better for her. Is that the one city she died and women Adams who had a good sketch of her face decided to finish the painting anyway. She received I should mention by the way she received an honorary degree here in 1033 talking to get honorary Green I think 27 I didn't get an honor degree from here. All these people have associations with the university. Because they will read to the right. You're right of the painting which is her honorary master's degree the base they say is to a left and right from Ruth Eberhard. Who graduated 1016 and left these vases for this room. But the point of all this is of course that this is. You came into the room. And you think well this is a room to get objects into cetera.
That's true but this is not. This is not a dead room. In other words these these objects in this room in the room out there. And that's something I'm not talking about. All these objects were given to people who had great affection for the university entices University. Made quick Minette wrote a book and I knew 21 called the art and artist of Indiana with the first attempts to collect information about the artist of Indiana. Women out of this it was a very great portrait painter. And I could go through and go through but every object here given by someone who cared for the university and the same is true for the parlor. But tomorrow we're hoping for good weather. I'll reveal tomorrow the first time that I have a Native American background. Since you're an Indian and I do have at home
steps for sun and rain. Unfortunately this sort of mixed up. There is I think I know which one is sun which one is rain. But I never know if it's two steps forward and two steps right for rain or two steps forward two steps left for the sun. So I probably do both dances tonight. I'll be up very late working working on this and dancing tonight. So I'm made up of these people and the lives of those devoted this place. As you know a building material is also singular and it's our great fortune that we even have a poem called In Praise of limestone written by W.H. Auden in 1988. His excerpt from it. If it forms the one landscape that we the inconstant ones are consistently homesick for. This is chiefly because it dissolves in water.
Mark these rounded slopes with a surface fragrance of time and beneath the sequin systems of caves and conduits. Here these springs are spread out everywhere with a chuckle each feeling a private pool for its fish. And carving its own little ravine whose cliffs entertain the butterfly and the lizard examine this region of short distances and definite places. Watch then the students. As they climb up and down the steep stone passages in twos and threes sometimes arm in arm but never think God in step. Or engage on the shady side of a square at midday in voluble discourse. Knowing each other too well to think that there are any important secrets. When I try to imagine a faultless love or the life to come. What I hear is the murmur of underground streams.
What I see is a limestone landscape. Thank you. Thank You can for those words remembrances. We appreciate it Jack and Ken. Graduations again. We'll see you both. And everyone else tomorrow. Good evening.
