MAKOTO FUJIM URA 

Makoto Fujimura is a Japanese-American painter and the founder of the International Arts Movement, one 

of the leading Christian arts organizations in the world. Living in close proximity to Ground Zero, Fujimura 

was one of the rst artists to respond to the events of 9/11. Out of this American crisis Fujimura forged “a new 

kind of art about hope, healing and redemption.” His ambitious goal is to see “more evidence of the world that 

ought to be, a world where all corners of culture—museums to malls, galleries to grocery stores—are lled 

with good, true and beautiful works of art.” Mr. Fujimura will be receiving an honorary doctor of ne arts 

degree at Friday’s ceremony.

Contemporary academic dress is clearly derived from the robes 

worn by teachers in European medieval universities and is based 

upon clerical garb, since the clergy were the rst university teachers. 

Today, academic dress does not serve its original functions of 

providing warmth and/or distinguishing one’s religious order, but it 

does serve to identify the degree held, eld of study and the university 

from which the wearers received their advanced degrees. 

e American university robe comes in dierent shapes to identify 

its wearer as holder of the Bachelor, Master or Doctor degree (three 

velvet stripes on each sleeve further identify the doctoral robe) and 

is usually a closed gown in black. e foreign university robe is oen 

open in the front and is frequently found in the Doctor version in a 

color other than black, such as red.

It is possible for the skilled observer to decipher the degree held 

from the robe and also to discern the subject area and the university 

of its wearer according to the mix of colors on the hood. e velvet 

band around the neck of the hood is frequently colored according 

to the scheme below to indicate academic area, and the lining of 

the hood appears with the ocial colors of the degree-granting 

institution. 

Caps and tassels also vary. Most American and many foreign universities 

employ the black mortarboard, while some American and 

foreign universities are further identied with unusual shapes and 

types of caps. e tassels are usually black, although some universities 

vary there also, employing silver and gold.

H IST O R I C AL SKE TCH 

Biola University traces its origins to the Bible Institute of Los Angeles established in 1908 

by Lyman Stewart, founder and president of the Union Oil Company, and the Rev. T.C. 

Horton, two men of extraordinary vision and commitment to Christian higher education. 

Dedicated to combating the moral decay and faithless liberalism of their day, Stewart and 

Horton established the Institute to educate and equip men and women with a relevant 

Christianity that would impact society at home and abroad. e Institute’s inuence was 

felt along the entire Western Seaboard from Mexico to Canada and across the Pacic to 

China. By 1909, over 540 extension courses were sponsored by the Bible Institute. 

e following decades produced immense growth, development and outreach. e school 

moved from a two-year to a four-year program oering degrees in theology, Christian 

education, and sacred music, and a one-year program in missionary medicine. By 1949, 

the Bible Institute had become a ourishing Bible College and in 1952 launched Talbot 

eological Seminary to further serve the Christian community. In 1959, Biola received 

accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. 

In the ensuing years, Biola College broadened its curricula in the arts, sciences, professions, 

and seminary oerings while maintaining its strong foundation in biblical studies. 

roughout the 1960s and 1970s the program base further expanded, and in 1977 the 

Rosemead Graduate School of Professional Psychology was acquired. 

Biola College became Biola University on July 1, 1981, composed of the School of Arts 

and Sciences, Rosemead School of Psychology, and Talbot School of eology. e School 

of Intercultural Studies, with its outstanding program in world missions, was established 

in 1983 and renamed the Cook School of Intercultural Studies in 2009. e School of 

Business was added in 1993 and renamed the Crowell School of Business in 2007. e 

School of Professional Studies was added in 1994 and a seventh school, the School of 

Education was added in 2007. 

Ranked by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education as a Doctoral / Research- 

Intensive Institution, Biola University oers four undergraduate degrees in 40 

undergraduate majors with more than 120 emphases, 17 master’s degrees and eight 

distinct doctoral degrees. With an outstanding faculty, the University has distinguished 

itself in scholarship and academic excellence.

Experiential programming is a hallmark of Biola University. National and international 

opportunities are available where students live and learn in diverse cultural settings. 

Some of the programs are University-based, while others are held in conjunction with 

the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU). Domestic programs are 

oered in Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Berkeley, New York City, Utah and Colorado 

Springs. Students also have the opportunity to study internationally in Australia, Costa 

Rica, Egypt, Uganda, Oxford, London, Russia, New Zealand and Honduras. Educational 

programs are oered in ailand, Lithuania and Ukraine, and exchange programs are 

maintained with schools in Korea and Japan. 

Biola continues to arm its commitment to creating signicant academic programs that 

engage our community with some of the most inuential thinkers of our time, while assuring 

the spiritual and moral development of our students. Examples include the Master of Arts 

degrees in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics, Christian Apologetics and Organizational 

Leadership. 

Since 1908, Biola has stood as a beacon of hope for the intellectual, spiritual and moral 

growth of its students. As the only national university to require a Christian commitment 

of its faculty, students and sta, Biola University is building on its legacy of impacting the 

world for the Lord Jesus Christ.
