Graduation 1997
Hatfield to receive honorary degree
By Allison Hewitt

Former U.S. Senator Mark
Hatfield will address the
Class of 1997 on Saturday,
June 14, at the University of Ore
gon’s 120th Commencement.
Hatfield, who served for 30
years in the U.S. Senate before re
tiring in January, will also receive
an honorary doctorate at the cere
mony — the second honorary de
gree to be bestowed by the Uni
versity in 51 years. Two years ago,
the University awarded former
Philippine President Corazon
Aquino with an honorary degree.
The Commencement will begin
at 12:30 at Hayward Field, and
Hatfield will speak immediately
following the presentation of his
degree. His speech, which is
scheduled to last for approxi
mately 15 minutes, will address
the topic of international rela
tions.
University President Dave
Frohnmayer will confer the hon
orary degree and preside over the
Commencement.
“Senator Hatfield is a true
statesman whose integrity, intel
ligence and commitment to help
ing shape a better future for Ore
gonians make him deserving of
this distinction,” Frohnmayer
said. “We are honored to recog
nize his extraordinary accom
plishments with this degree and
to welcome him as Commence
ment Speaker.”
Hatfield will receive a $1500
honorarium for speaking at the
ceremony, said Maureen Shine,
deputy director of the Office of
Communications. But Hatfield
will donate the money in his
wife’s name to the University Mu
seum of Art, she said.
Among his contributions, Hat
field is credited with helping the
University to obtain $33.4 million
in federal funding to construct a
four-building science complex,
Willamette Hall, which was com
pleted in 1989. University
Provost John Mosely said Hat
field’s role in the process was in
strumental, and the new facilities
have “allowed the University to
move into a new era in science
teaching and research.”
In the U.S. Senate, Hatfield was
known as an independent legisla
tor who voted his conscience. He
was an outspoken critic of the
Vietnam War and was committed
to finding peaceful resolutions to
world conflicts.
He consistently opposed in
creases in defense spending and
U.S. Military abroad, while focus
ing on enhancements for health,
education and social service pro
grams. He was also an active pro
ponent of nuclear disarmament,
and he led the fight against the
MX missile, the stealth bomber
and underground testing.
Hatfield will attend the Com
mencement brunch at the Knight
Library preceding the ceremony.
Approximately 1,600 of the
3,200 degree candidates will at
tend the ceremony at Hayward
Field, and 12,000- 15,000 guests
are expected to attend as well.
