Philip Morris
Chief Executive Officer, Proctors
hilip Morris is the CEO of Proctors, the performing
arts center of the Capital Region located in
Schenectady, NY, and of downtown Albany’s Capital
Repertory Theatre (theREP), a professional, not-for-
profit cultural organization which is the region’s only
member of the League of Resident Theatres (LORT).
Previously, Mr. Morris served for 25 years as the
Director of the
Arts Council for Chautauqua
County. There, he established
The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz
Museum and Festival of New
Comedy, created The Robert
H. Jackson Center for Justice,
renovated a 1,300-seat theater
and a dozen other properties in
downtown Jamestown, NY for
new cultural uses ranging from a
Executive
student jazz sound stage to live-
work spaces for artists,
Mr. Morris became the CEO of
Proctors in 2002, and continued
his focus on cultivating both the
arts and the community. Over
the past 12 years Proctors has raised and invested nearly
$50 million to expand its stage, increase public spaces,
create conference facilities, and add the GE Theatre,
a 430-seat multi-purpose ‘black box’ theatre. A new
central heating & chilling plant was also built, which
serves a dozen neighboring buildings and businesses
while simultaneously creating a snowmelt system

under the sidewalks around Proctors’ block, thereby
helping all the buildings save money and substantially
reducing their carbon footprint.
Proctors has been pivotal to downtown Schenectady’s
redevelopment and is now open nearly every day of
the year with music, theatre, dance, films, conventions
& meetings, community activities, a winter green
market, and major Broadway touring
shows. The educational programs
at Proctors and theREP touch over
75,000 young people a year with
programs in schools, in the theatres,
and through a robust summer
school. With a comprehensive
vision to impact the region's
education, economic development,
and civic engagement, Proctors
and theREP are at the cutting edge
of the intersection of the arts and
public life.
Mr. Morris received his B.A. in
History, with a minor in music,
from Hamilton College in Clinton,
NY. He teaches Culture and Public
Policy as an adjunct professor at University at Albany’s
Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy, and
is a regular guest speaker for the master’s program in
Arts Administration at New York University. He has
won numerous awards from historic organizations, the
Albany-Colonie Regional Chamber of Commerce and
the Chamber of Schenectady County.

‘he caps, gowns, and hoods worn at college
and university functions date back to the
Middle Ages. Monks and students of those days
wore them to keep warm in the damp and drafty
12th-century castles and halls of learning. The gowns
for the bachelor’s degree, earned after undergraduate
study, have long, pointed sleeves and are designed
to be worn closed.
‘The holder of the master’s degree wears a gown
with an oblong sleeve open at the wrist. The sleeve
base hangs down, and the rear part of its oblong
shape is worn square cut. The gown may be worn
open or closed, An alternate and older master’s
gown is also permissible. The gown is always worn
open, has a long sleeve, which is square and closed
at the end, and has a slit near the forearm.
Gowns for the doctoral degree may also be worn
open or closed, but they carry broad velvet panels
down the front and three velvet bars on the full,
round, open sleeves. The velvet trimming may be
either in black or the color distinctive to the field
of learning to which the degree pertains.
Academic gowns for each level are black, although a few
institutions permit doctoral recipients to wear gowns of
the characteristic institutional color.
Academic protocol allows trustees, presidents, and
marshals of higher education institutions to wear
gowns which are especially designed and colored. The
president of the University at Albany wears a black and
royal purple gown bearing four horizontal royal purple
bars with gold braiding on the sleeves. The marshals’
gowns at UAlbany are navy blue with gold accents,
Caps may be of serge, broadcloth, or, for the doctoral
outfit only, of velvet. The tassel is black or the color
appropriate to subject, except the doctoral cap may have
a tassel of gold or bullion.
It is the hood that gives color and real meaning to the
academic costume. The hoods of the master’s degree
recipients are a black shell made of material to match
the gown and use the institutional colors. UAlbany’s
institutional colors are royal purple and gold. The
doctoral hood, which uses the same institutional colors,
is larger and of a different style, having a flat panel at the

sed in 1844, For nearly 50 years, the Normal Schoo! provided a two-year education to
students from across the state. David Perkins Page served the Normal Schoo!’s first principal.
back. The hood is bordered with velvet of the proper
width to indicate the degree and of the color signifying
the field of learning to which the degree pertains.
Tf more than one degree is held, the gown and hood of
the highest degree are worn. Holders of several doctoral
degrees may make a choice of hood for any particular
occasion. ‘The colors indicative of the various fields of
learning are as follows:
Arts, Letters, Humanities: White
Accountancy, Business, Commerce: Dusk
Economics: Copper
Education: Powder Blue
Fine Brown
Journalism: Crimson
Library Science: Lemon Yellow
Music: Pink
Philosophy: Royal Blue
Public Administration, including Foreign Service:
Teal Blue
Public Health: Salmon Pink
Science: Golden Yellow
Social Science and Social Work: Citron
Graduating students at UAlbany wear tassels of the color
representing their field of study. Honors graduates of
the baccalaureate program also wear honor medallions.
Candidates for degrees are listed as of November 3,
2014. No changes in status could be made after this
date. Honors for December degree candidates were
computed using the cumulative grade point average as of
November 3, 2014, and a projection that the student
will have earned 56 or more credits at UAlbany, of
which a minimum of 40 credits are A-E graded. Official
honor status will be recalculated when Fall 2014 grades
are recorded and will appear on the diploma.
**Summa Cum Laude: signifies a cumulative
grade-point average of 3.75 or above
Magna Cum Laude: signifies a cumulative
grade-point average of 3,50-3.74
*Cum Laude: signifies a cumulative
grade-point average of 3.25-3.49

Modern architect Edward Durrell Stone designed the uptown campus on what was once
the Albany Country Club. Purportedly the largest single academic construction ever let, it
was estimated that the project used over 270,000 cubic yards of concrete and fifty miles
‘of copper tubing, Ii was rumored that if the 500 architectural drawings were put end to
end they would reach for @ half milo. Albany Mayor Erastus Corning I and Gov, Nelson
Rockefeller (center) view Stone's model of the uptown campus in 1962.

Sis the University at Albany's beginnings as the New York State Normal College, Minerva, the Roman
goddess of wisdom, has been the institution’s enduring symbol.
‘The figure of Minerva and the Latin motto, Sapientia et sua et docendi causa (“Wisdom, both for its own sake and for
the sake of teaching”) have appeared on the University seal since
about 1913. ‘Today, Minerva, wearing her distinctive helmet,
continues to symbolize the University’s proud past and
long-standing reputation for educational excellence.

* UAlbany’s seven-foot-plus white plaster statue of Minerva
was purchased in 1888,
© While there is no official record of where she came from,
remembrances have it that the statue was purchased with
funds from a $1 student fee collected for make-up exams.
* The Minerva statue was originally located at 88 Willett
St. in Albany when the University was the New York State
Normal College. In 1906, when a devastating fire broke
out in the college’s administrative offices, a brave
custodian, Charles Wurtham, rescued the statue
from the burning building.
* Minerva assumed her new home in the rotunda of
Draper Hall when UAlbany was the State College for
‘Teachers. For more than six decades, she was a
popular meeting place for students. “Meetcha at
Minnie” was a favorite phrase and her photograph.
appeared frequently in UAlbany yearbooks,
In January 1962, UAlbany’s Minerva achieved
national fame when an article about the teacher’s
college appeared in an issue of the Saturday
Review and she was pictured on the cover.
* In 1966, asa gift to the University, the senior
Class of 1967 moved the statue from the
downtown campus to the new main campus and
paid for her refurbishment. The Class named
themselves the “Guardians of Minerva.”
¢ In 1987 Minerva was rededicated and today
graces the lobby of the Science Library.
To reclaim its reputation as a pioneer and dominant institution of learning in a competitive and evolving
school system in New York State, the Normal Schoo! established a new mission, Re-branded as the
New York State Normal College in 1890, emphasis was placed on the development of new
curricula, faculty and the recruitment of students to prepare secondary school teachers.
