MINES ALMA MATER CLASS OF 2019

The Mines Alma Mater, to the tune of “Aura Lee,” is played during Commencement to acknowledge graduates’ transition from Mines students to Mines alumni.

Lyrics for the Mines Alma Mater were written by Lois Moessner Leonard, wife of Weldon I. Leonard, Engineer of Mines, 1949.

Raise your voices engineers, your devotion sing

To the greatest School of Mines, let the chorus ring

Hail to thee, CSM to our hearts most dear

Ev’ry miner lauds name and ev’ry engineer.

Honor, glory to thy name, these we pledge anew

While we live to sing thy fame, Alma Mater true

Hail to thee School of Mines, silver and blue

Ev’ry Miner sings thy praise, Alma Mater true.

UNDERGRADUATE CEREMONY KEYNOTE

Mr. Bruce Grewcock ’76Chairman and CEO, Peter Kiewit Sons’, Inc. Bruce Grewcock ’76 graduated from Mines with a bachelor’s degree in mining engineering and currently sits on the Mines Foundation Board of Governors.

Grewcock is chairman and chief executive officer of Peter Kiewit Sons’, Inc., a privately owned company.

Kiewit is the fifth-largest general contractor in the United States and performs work throughout the United States, Canada, Australia and Mexico. Kiewit provides construction and engineering services to a variety of markets, including building, mining, oil, gas and chemical, power, transportation, industrial and water. In addition to his degree from Mines, Grewcock also attended the Stanford Graduate School of Business Executives program in 1989.

Grewcock joined Kiewit in 1982 as a chief engineer at Black Butte coal mine in Wyoming, and was subsequently promoted to vice president and operations manager. In 1992, he became president of Kiewit Mining Group, and his responsibilities expanded to include Kiewit’s construction materials and quarries operations. In 1994, he was given the additional responsibility of division manager for construction operations. That same year, he was elected

to and still maintains a position on the Kiewit board of directors. In 2000, Grewcock became president and chief operating officer of Kiewit. He assumed the role of chief executive officer in 2005, becoming the seventh executive to lead the company, and in 2013, he became chairman of the board of directors.

Grewcock has led Kiewit in a period of significant growth. Since becoming CEO in 2005, Kiewit has gained record levels of revenue, increasing from $4.1 billion in 2005 to more than $9 billion in 2018.

Grewcock is a member of Business Roundtable, an association of CEOs of leading U.S. companies. He is a founding member of the Construction Industry Ethics and Compliance Initiative (CIECI), an organization dedicated to sharing and sustaining the best ethical and business conduct practices in the industry. In 2016, The Beavers, an organization managed by industry peers, awarded Grewcock the Golden Beaver Award in Management — an honor bestowed upon leaders who demonstrate skill, integrity and support for young people entering the industry. In 2013, Grewcock received the Moles Award for his distinguished career in the construction industry. A leader in the community, Grewcock also serves as a director of Nebraska Medicine and Creighton University.

COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES

Colorado School of Mines is a public university focused on science and engineering, dedicated to pioneering research that addresses the challenges society faces today and committed to educating students who will do the same.

Founded in 1874 as an institution specializing in silver and gold, Mines has since expanded its mission well beyond the extraction and use of natural resources. While still a powerhouse in mining, petroleum and earth sciences, the university has become a world leader in advancing responsible stewardship of the Earth, discovering and synthesizing new materials and developing innovative ways of harnessing traditional and novel energy sources.

Mines students graduate with a strong sense of integrity, resilience, confidence in tackling new problems, the ability to work in collaborative environments, an enhanced sense of responsibility to promote positive change in the world and pride in their Mines degree.

Academic Regalia: Caps, Gowns and Hoods The academic dress worn by today’s graduates reflects a tradition begun in the late 12th century, when universities were first taking form, and codified in the U.S. in 1895 under the Academic Costume Code. Originally the dress may have had a practical purpose—to keep the student warm in unheated buildings—but today it is ceremonial and divided into three parts: caps, gowns and hoods.

The traditional cap is the mortarboard with colored tassels

to identify the graduate’s discipline or field of study. Graduates earning a PhD wear a silver tassel, Master of Science a yellow tassel, Master of Engineering an orange tassel and Bachelor of Science a navy and silver commemorative tassel.

Bachelor’s and master’s gowns are untrimmed, but doctoral gowns are faced down the front with velvet and trimmed with three velvet bars across the sleeves. The velvet facing and bars are black or the color of the field of study.

Hoods are also black, lined with silver and blue, the official school colors. The velvet border identifies the field of study to which the degree pertains. Mines hoods have yellow velvet borders for masters of science, orange velvet borders for masters of engineering and blue velvet borders for doctors of philosophy.

Conferred Degrees Departmental degrees are awarded at Mines according to the order in which the department or program originally conferred a degree, dating back to the first Mines commencement in 1883, at which two mining degrees were awarded.

Silver DiplomasWhile the degrees granted by Mines are valuable and unique, so are the diplomas themselves. The Mines silver diploma is a long-standing tradition dating back to 1933,

when Charles A. Hull engraved a silver diploma as a gift for his son, a recent graduate. The diploma caught the eye of then-President Melville F. Coolbaugh, who asked that silver diplomas be made for all Mines graduates.

Starting with the commencement of 1934, Mines began issuing silver diplomas, measuring 5 by 6 inches and etched in pure sterling silver. Creating these diplomas required two workers spending six weeks (or 500 hours) making 19 delicate etchings in each diploma.

Honor Cords and StolesAt Mines, we hold all of our graduates in high esteem and recognize their achievements at commencement. In addition to the traditional cap and gown regalia worn at this event, graduates may wear stoles and honor cords to recognize academic honors, honors programs and honor societies; students with an international affiliation; members of Mines-recognized Greek letter societies; varsity student-athletes; and military and veteran students.

Honor cords signify specific academic achievement or membership in a recognized academic honor group or society. A graduation stole is a decorative vestment worn over the shoulders by students who are members of college organizations for the purpose of recognizing academic achievement or association with an international group or program.

FlagsThe Mines community is a worldwide community with students hailing from a variety of countries. On the stage are the flags representing the home countries of our international students receiving degrees today. Students are represented from the following countries:

COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES

The Book: De Re Metallica The Mines faculty senate president leads the academic portion of the commencement procession, carrying a replica of the 16th-century treatise De Re Metallica. Widely regarded as the seminal text on mining and the science of metallurgy, this historic volume serves as a symbol of the body of knowledge shared by Mines’ faculty and students.

The book’s opening marks the start of the commencement ceremony and also recalls the beginning of the students’ education at the school. The ceremony’s end is signified by the closing of the book.

A first edition of De Re Metallica, written by Georg Bauer under the pseudonym Agricola and printed in 1556, resides in the vault of Mines’ Arthur Lakes Library, as does a subsequent edition printed in 1621. In addition to these original texts, the library also houses several copies of Herbert Hoover’s 1912 translation from Latin.

University Mace The Mines faculty senate distinguished lecturer carries the mace, which has a rich history as a symbol of authority going back to the 13th century. In commencement processions, the mace is carried before the president and the dignitaries in the platform party. The mace’s core is a

rosewood staff, covered by fitted brass and cast bronze, silver-plated and topped by Mines’ mascot, Blaster. Mines Professor Emeritus Robert Taylor executed the design and Mr. Emil Dangreau produced the finished standard with the official school seal photoengraved on the base of the staff.

Presidential Medallion The silver medallion, worn only by the Mines president, was designed by Rex Bull, an emeritus professor in the George S. Ansell Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Department, and cast by students using silver donated by the Mines Alumni Association. It was first used at George S. Ansell’s inauguration as the 13th president of the school on February 8, 1985.

ProspectorA retrospective memento, the Prospector is Mines’ yearbook and commemorates each school year with photos and articles detailing some of the best moments of the year. The Prospector was published for decades before taking a brief hiatus in the early 2000s. This year, a team of students revived the publication in an effort to celebrate the shared experiences and achievements of the Oredigger community. All graduates will receive a copy of the Prospector as their graduation gift.
