Symbols of authority Originally a medieval weapon of defense, the mace has become a symbol of authority and dignity in academic ceremonies. Rochester's mace was introduced during the 1935 induction of Alan Valentine as president and has been used in academic processions ever since. Designed by Philipp Merz, who also is responsible for many of the architectural features of the early River Campus buildings, the mace is about four feet long and is crafted from mahogany and hand-wrought silver. The head of the mace features the seal of the Universiry, and two silver bands are engraved with the names of the 4

Among the thousands of spectators present this year, many are as distinguished and, no doubt, as full of pride as the onlookers of 1851.

Moore, the Rudolf and Hilda Kingslake Professor of Optical Engineering, served as director of the Institute of Optics from 198 7 to 1993 . During his tenure, col­ laborative research centers at the institute flourished, including the Center for Optics Manufacturing that Moore cofounded. These centers attracted more than $8 million a year in outside funding and large numbers of graduate students, resulting in dramatic increases in publications and patents. Moore has taught 15 optics courses ranging from introductory to advanced graduate classes; he has advised nearly 60 master's and PhD students. This Lifetime Achivement Award in Graduate Education recognizes his ability to inspire students with his boundless enthusiasm for new approaches to teaching, technology, and business. As a researcher, he is internationally recognized for his pioneering work in gradient-index optics. Moore is author of six books and more than 100 papers. He has been principal investigator or director of more than 60 grants and contracts totaling more than $43 million.

His discipline­ based education research has resulted in an N S F research grant i n the field o f education . Berger has been a member of the institute's under­ graduate committee since his arrival and has served as chair. He has been involved in the optical engineering degree's certification process for the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. He also served on the advisory board for the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at the University. Berger is active in outreach activities, particularly those aimed at encouraging high school students from underrepresented groups to consider careers in science and engineering. In 1998, Berger received his PhD in physics from M IT, where he worked on developing methods of blood analysis using laser spectroscopy. From 1998 to 2000, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Univer­ sity of California- Irvine. Berger's current laboratory continues to focus on biomedical optics, specifically spectroscopic diagnostic techniques. His interests range from measurements of organelle sizes in single cells, to noninvasive optical measurement of bone strength, to recording infants' brain activity using near-infrared light.
