ProVosT & senior ViCe PresiDenT<br />
It <strong>is</strong> an honor to congratulate you, the graduating class, and to present you to President Corey for the awarding<br />
of degrees. Th<strong>is</strong> ceremony marks a significant achievement in your lives. You have studied. You have grown. You<br />
have overcome adversity. There were times, I am certain, when you wondered if it was worth it and if you would<br />
be able to manage. Yet here you are. Your walk with God and understanding of H<strong>is</strong> kingdom has matured just as<br />
your awareness of yourself and God’s call on your life has deepened.<br />
Today <strong>is</strong> a day to celebrate all that you have accompl<strong>is</strong>hed. It <strong>is</strong> a day to say thank you to the friends, staff, faculty<br />
and family who have prayed for you and walked with you along the way. It <strong>is</strong> also a day to give thanks to God,<br />
the author of life and the giver of every good and perfect gift. May your life continue to resonate with the life of<br />
Chr<strong>is</strong>t as th<strong>is</strong> marvelous journey of the upward call of God in Chr<strong>is</strong>t Jesus unfolds before you. Continue to grow<br />
in patterns of heart, and of thought, and of action that are the markers of a life hidden in God.<br />
May the peace and presence of Chr<strong>is</strong>t attend you. Congratulations to you on th<strong>is</strong> day.<br />

Libby LittLe<br />
Libby and her late husband, optometr<strong>is</strong>t Dr. Tom Little, served in Afghan<strong>is</strong>tan for over 30 years. Together<br />
they provided medical care for, and shared the love of Chr<strong>is</strong>t with, the villagers of rural Afghan<strong>is</strong>tan. In<br />
August 2010, Dr. Little and h<strong>is</strong> medical team of 10 were ambushed on their journey back to Kabul and were<br />
killed after conducting a two-week mobile clinic to remote valleys of Nur<strong>is</strong>tan. It was said that the medical<br />
team had hiked over mountains for more than 10 hours that day, unarmed and without the comfort of security.<br />
The team’s m<strong>is</strong>sion was only to reach <strong>is</strong>olated Afghan villagers to bring them the medical care they needed.<br />
Along with the doctors and nurses who were a part of the m<strong>is</strong>sion, Dr. Little had much to offer the unhealthy<br />
and v<strong>is</strong>ually impaired among the villagers. In working in Afghan<strong>is</strong>tan for over 30 years, Dr. Little also spoke<br />
fluent Dari, and was the superv<strong>is</strong>or of a network of IAM eye hospitals nationwide. Having ample experience<br />
in optometry, he offered eye care and surgical services in places where the luxury of having health care <strong>is</strong> scarce<br />
to non-ex<strong>is</strong>tent. Dr. Little <strong>is</strong> remembered by h<strong>is</strong> family—wife Libby and three daughters—as a man who truly<br />
demonstrated the compassion of Chr<strong>is</strong>t to the poor.<br />
On Feb. 15, 2011, President Obama posthumously awarded Dr. Little the 2010 Medal of Freedom, the country’s<br />
highest civilian honor, which Libby accepted on h<strong>is</strong> behalf. In the ceremony, President Obama said that<br />
Dr. Little was “… a humanitarian in the truest sense of the word; a man who not only dedicated h<strong>is</strong> life to<br />
others, but who lived that lesson of Scripture: ‘Greater love hath no man than th<strong>is</strong>, that a man lay down h<strong>is</strong> life<br />
for h<strong>is</strong> friends.’”<br />

Contemporary academic dress <strong>is</strong> clearly derived from the robes<br />
worn by teachers in European medieval universities and <strong>is</strong> based<br />
upon clerical garb, since the clergy were the first university teachers.<br />
Today, academic dress does not serve its original functions of<br />
providing warmth and/or d<strong>is</strong>tingu<strong>is</strong>hing one’s religious order, but it<br />
does serve to identify the degree held, field of study and the university<br />
from which the wearers received their advanced degrees.<br />
The American university robe comes in different shapes to identify<br />
its wearer as holder of the Bachelor, Master or Doctor degree (three<br />
velvet stripes on each sleeve further identify the doctoral robe) and<br />
<strong>is</strong> usually a closed gown in black. The foreign university robe <strong>is</strong> often<br />
open in the front and <strong>is</strong> frequently found in the Doctor version in a<br />
color other than black, such as red.<br />

It <strong>is</strong> possible for the skilled observer to decipher the degree held<br />
from the robe and also to d<strong>is</strong>cern the subject area and the university<br />
of its wearer according to the mix of colors on the hood. The velvet<br />
band around the neck of the hood <strong>is</strong> frequently colored according<br />
to the scheme below to indicate academic area, and the lining of<br />
the hood appears with the official colors of the degree-granting<br />
institution.<br />
Caps and tassels also vary. Most American and many foreign universities<br />
employ the black mortarboard, while some American and<br />
foreign universities are further identified with unusual shapes and<br />
types of caps. The tassels are usually black, although some universities<br />
vary there also, employing silver and gold.<br />

<strong>Biola</strong> <strong>University</strong> traces its origins to the Bible Institute of Los Angeles establ<strong>is</strong>hed in 1908<br />
by Lyman Stewart, founder and president of the Union Oil Company, and the Rev. T.C.<br />
Horton, two men of extraordinary v<strong>is</strong>ion and commitment to Chr<strong>is</strong>tian higher <strong>education</strong>.<br />
Dedicated to combating the moral decay and faithless liberal<strong>is</strong>m of their day, Stewart and<br />
Horton establ<strong>is</strong>hed the Institute to educate and equip men and women with a relevant<br />
Chr<strong>is</strong>tianity that would impact society at home and abroad. The Institute’s influence was<br />
felt along the entire Western Seaboard from Mexico to Canada and across the Pacific to<br />
China. By 1909, over 540 extension courses were sponsored by the Bible Institute.<br />
The following decades produced immense growth, development and outreach. The school<br />
moved from a two-year to a four-year program offering degrees in theology, Chr<strong>is</strong>tian<br />
<strong>education</strong>, and sacred music, and a one-year program in m<strong>is</strong>sionary medicine. By 1949,<br />
the Bible Institute had become a flour<strong>is</strong>hing Bible College and in 1952 launched Talbot<br />
Theological Seminary to further serve the Chr<strong>is</strong>tian community. In 1959, <strong>Biola</strong> received<br />
accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.<br />
In the ensuing years, <strong>Biola</strong> College broadened its curricula in the arts, sciences, professions,<br />
and seminary offerings while maintaining its strong foundation in biblical studies.<br />
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s the program base further expanded, and in 1977 the<br />
Rosemead Graduate School of Professional Psychology was acquired.<br />
<strong>Biola</strong> College became <strong>Biola</strong> <strong>University</strong> on July 1, 1981, composed of the School of Arts<br />
and Sciences, Rosemead School of Psychology, and Talbot School of Theology. The School<br />
of Intercultural Studies, with its outstanding program in world m<strong>is</strong>sions, was establ<strong>is</strong>hed<br />
in 1983 and renamed the Cook School of Intercultural Studies in 2009. The School of<br />
Business was added in 1993 and renamed the Crowell School of Business in 2007. The<br />
School of Professional Studies was added in 1994 and a seventh school, the School of<br />
Education was added in 2007.<br />
Ranked by the Carnegie Comm<strong>is</strong>sion on Higher Education as a Doctoral / Research-<br />
Intensive Institution, <strong>Biola</strong> <strong>University</strong> offers four undergraduate degrees in 40<br />
undergraduate majors with more than 120 emphases, 17 master’s degrees and eight<br />
d<strong>is</strong>tinct doctoral degrees. With an outstanding faculty, the <strong>University</strong> has d<strong>is</strong>tingu<strong>is</strong>hed<br />
itself in scholarship and academic excellence.
Experiential programming <strong>is</strong> a hallmark of <strong>Biola</strong> <strong>University</strong>. National and international<br />
opportunities are available where students live and learn in diverse cultural settings.<br />
Some of the programs are <strong>University</strong>-based, while others are held in conjunction with<br />
the Council for Chr<strong>is</strong>tian Colleges & Universities (CCCU). Domestic programs are<br />
offered in Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Berkeley, New York City, Utah and Colorado<br />
Springs. Students also have the opportunity to study internationally in Australia, Costa<br />
Rica, Egypt, Uganda, Oxford, London, Russia, New Zealand and Honduras. Educational<br />
programs are offered in Thailand, Lithuania and Ukraine, and exchange programs are<br />
maintained with schools in Korea and Japan.<br />
<strong>Biola</strong> continues to affirm its commitment to creating significant academic programs that<br />
engage our community with some of the most influential thinkers of our time, while assuring<br />
the spiritual and moral development of our students. Examples include the Master of Arts<br />
degrees in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics, Chr<strong>is</strong>tian Apologetics and Organizational<br />
Leadership.<br />
Since 1908, <strong>Biola</strong> has stood as a beacon of hope for the intellectual, spiritual and moral<br />
growth of its students. As the only national university to require a Chr<strong>is</strong>tian commitment<br />
of its faculty, students and staff, <strong>Biola</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>is</strong> building on its legacy of impacting the<br />
world for the Lord Jesus Chr<strong>is</strong>t.<br />
