Iowa State University in January 2012. He came to Iowa State from North Carolina
where he spent many years as a faculty member, research program leader, and high
level administrator with the University of North Carolina system and North Carolina
State University.
Dr. Leath serves on the Iowa STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics)
Advisory Council and is a member of the executive committee of the Greater Des
Moines Partnership Capital Crossroads Implementation Committee, a board member
of the Iowa 4-H Foundation, and a member of the Iowa Business Council. He is also
a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Crop Science
Society of America, and American Phytopathological Society.
From 2007 to 2012, Dr. Leath was vice president
for research for the University of North Carolina
General Administration. In that position, he
promoted research and sponsored programs across
the full spectrum of academic disciplines and
interdisciplinary activities carried out by the
University of North Carolina’s (UNC) 16 university
campuses. He worked to increase levels of external
support from federal, state, and private sources and
worked closely with campus research administrators to develop research and sponsored
program activity in support of the mission of each campus. In 2012, the UNC campuses
attracted nearly $1.4 billion in competitive research grants and contracts, primarily
from the federal government. He also oversaw UNC’s interinstitutional centers and the
North Carolina Arboretum and was one of the leaders in such highly successful publicprivate partnerships as the North Carolina Centennial Campus, North Carolina Research
Campus, Research Triangle Park, and the David H. Murdock Research Institute, which
he helped establish and led as chief executive officer until joining Iowa State.

He joined the faculty of North Carolina State University’s College of Agriculture and Life
Sciences in 1985 as a plant pathologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA)
Agricultural Research Service (ARS) unit based on the NC State campus. He was named
professor and research leader of the unit in 1998, then spent two years as acting national
grain crops program leader for the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service in Washington,
DC. He returned to NC State in 2001 as a professor and assistant director of the
North Carolina Agricultural Research Service (NCARS), was promoted to associate
director in 2003, and was named NCARS director and associate dean of the College of
Agriculture and Life Sciences in 2005.
Dr. Leath holds a B.S. in plant science from Pennsylvania State University, a master’s
degree in plant science from the University of Delaware, and a Ph.D. in plant pathology
from the University of Illinois. After receiving his Ph.D., he spent one year as an
extension plant pathologist in Illinois. During his research career, Dr. Leath published
nearly 100 scientific articles in plant disease resistance, plant pathology, plant breeding,
and related fields.
He and his wife, Janet, have two adult sons, Eric and Scott.

erskine bowles
Erskine Bowles is one of the nation’s most respected academic, political, and business
leaders. He became president of the multi-campus University of North Carolina in 2006,
which he led until his retirement on December 31, 2010. He is a native of Greensboro,
N.C., a graduate of the University of North Carolina and Columbia University’s Graduate
School of Business, and holds eight honorary doctorates.
Bowles began his business career at Morgan Stanley & Co. in New York. He returned to
North Carolina, where he founded and served as chairman and CEO of the investment
banking firm that became Bowles Hollowell Conner & Co. He also helped start two
other investment companies.
In 1993, President Bill Clinton named Bowles director of the Small Business Administration.
In 1994, he appointed him deputy White House chief of staff and later, chief of staff.
Following his return to North Carolina, Bowles ran for the U.S. Senate in 2002 and
2004. In 2005, he was appointed United Nations deputy special envoy to 13 tsunamiaffected countries in Southeast Asia. In 2010, President Barack Obama named Bowles and
former Senator Alan Simpson to co-chair a bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal
Responsibility and Reform.
Bowles helped found three entities that foster economic development in rural North
Carolina. He was a vice chair of Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte and helped create
its ALS Center. He also has served as an international president of the Juvenile
Diabetes Research Foundation and as a trustee of the Duke endowment. Bowles is a
board member for Morgan Stanley, Cousins Properties, Facebook, Belk, and Norfolk
Southern Corporation.

with every major international opera company as well as performing as a recitalist
and orchestral bass-baritone. Currently the F. Wendell Miller Distinguished Artist
in Residence and a professor of music at Iowa State University, Estes was born in
Centerville, Iowa; is a graduate of the University of Iowa; and has taught at the Juilliard
School. As an involved citizen and leader, he is promoting peace through international
and intercultural understanding and respect. He has established numerous scholarship
organizations to ease the financial burden for students, and in 1993, created the Simon
Estes International Foundation for Children to provide financial assistance to underprivileged children around the world. In 1997, Iowa State honored his professional
and humanitarian efforts by conferring upon him an honorary Doctor of Humane
Letters degree.
isu wind ensemble
The ISU Wind Ensemble features sixty of the finest student wind and percussion
players on campus. Its repertory includes challenging music from the sixteenth to the
twentieth centuries, from small chamber groups to the full ensemble. The ensemble
regularly commissions and premieres compositions and has performed with some
of the world’s finest soloists. In addition to on-campus performances, the ensemble has
performed numerous times at the Iowa Bandmasters Association convention and since
2003, has had four performing tours to Europe.

the official university mace
t h e i o wa s tat e u n i v e r s i t y m a c e
symbolizes the authority of the university president.
The chief faculty marshal carries it at the head of the
academic procession and, by placing it on its stand,
signals the beginning of the ceremony.
In medieval times, the mace was a studded, clublike weapon made of iron and capable of breaking
armor. It was associated with the protection of kings
in France and England.
Created in bronze, silver, and tiger maple, the Iowa
State University mace is an interpretation of the
campanile. It includes a silver presidential seal and
reflects in a disc inscribed with the words “Iowa
State University—Science with Practice,” which is representative of the Fountain of the
Four Seasons, an important campus icon. It features likenesses of four Native American
women and was created in 1941 by Christian Petersen, sculptor-in-residence from
1934–1955.
The tiger maple staff bears 14 bronze plaques inscribed with the names of all previous
Iowa State presidents and their years of service. The overall height of the university
mace is 60 inches, and it weighs 14 pounds.
Sculptor Jeanne L. Stevens-Sollman of Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, designed and crafted
the Iowa State University mace.
29
the presidential chain of office
the presidential chain of office
symbolizes the rich history and traditions of Iowa
State University and is worn by the president.
Created by sculptor Jeanne Stevens-Sollman—the
same artist who created Iowa State’s mace—the
presidential chain of office is bronze and silver
and complements the mace. The two pieces were
commissioned by University Museums and the ISU
Alumni Association in 2008 and are part of University
Museums’ Art on Campus collection.
The front of the presidential chain of office features an image of the campanile, and
Beardshear Hall’s east portico (the campus home of the president) is on the back.
The shoulder epaulets are the columns of Beardshear and contain the words Leadership
and Service. The campanile links in the presidential chain of office contain the words
Engagement, Learning, Discovery, and Access. The reverse sides of the bronze sections
have low bas reliefs of corn.
30
academic regalia
c u s t o m - d e s i g n e d d o c t o r at e
r e g a l i a debuted in May 2008 as part of the
Iowa State University sesquicentennial celebration.
The gowns were created with emblems and colors
to reflect Iowa State’s tradition and to complement
the hood. The fabric is cardinal gabardine with
black velvet panels and chevrons edged with gold
cording. The campanile adorns the two front
velvet panels. An eight-sided black velvet tam
with a gold silk tassel completes the official regalia.
The academic costume symbolizes the record of academic achievement of the various
individuals taking part in the ceremony, and its use dates to medieval times and the famed
universities of Europe and England. The unheated buildings frequented by medieval
scholars were an important factor in clothing choices.
An array of caps, gowns, and hoods emerged from the centuries in Great Britain and from
early years of higher education in the United States. American institutions recognized
the need for a standard code and the majority of academic costumes worn now are in
accordance with the general provisions of the Intercollegiate Code of 1895.
31
i o wa s tat e u n i v e r s i t y ’ s h e r i ta g e
From the time it opened in 1868 as the Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm, Iowa
State University of Science and Technology has been a leader in the development of a
new kind of higher education institution in the United States, the land-grant university.
Born of the soil and rooted in the fields of agriculture and engineering, these institutions
were created to extend the opportunities of higher education to people of the working
classes. Today, the land-grant institutions are still the “people’s colleges,” whose programs
address the issues and problems affecting the people of the states they serve.
Land-grant institutions further revolutionized higher education in this country by
introducing the concept of direct service to the people. Today, the land-grant institutions
have a three-part mission: teaching, research, and service. It was at Iowa State University
where the programs were conceived and molded to carry out this new service mission.
The Iowa General Assembly established the Iowa Agricultural College in 1858, but it
would not open for another ten years. In 1862, Iowa became the first state in the nation
to formally adopt the Morrill Act that established land-grant colleges and universities.
In 1864, the yet-to-be-opened Iowa Agricultural College was designated as Iowa’s landgrant institution.
Iowa State University embodied then and embodies today the land-grant concept of higher
education: open to all regardless of gender, ethnic background, or social class; committed
to providing students with an education not only in the classics but also in science,
engineering, agriculture, and military tactics; and dedicated to teach students the
practical applications of their knowledge. Iowa State was the first land-grant college to be
coeducational from the beginning. Today, Iowa State is recognized among the top
colleges and universities in the nation that provide well-prepared graduates. Employers
say that Iowa State graduates know how to apply their knowledge as they begin their
careers, making Iowa State’s career fairs some of the largest in the nation. Students learn
through internships and co-op opportunities, undergraduate research programs, and
study abroad.
32
i o wa s tat e u n i v e r s i t y ’ s h e r i ta g e
As early as 1870, Iowa State faculty and staff were involved in extending the benefits
of the institution’s research to the people of the state through Farmers’ Institutes. These
were the forerunners of the modern Cooperative Extension Service, established at
land-grant universities as the result of the Smith-Lever Act of 1914. Iowa State faculty
and staff wrote and worked for the passage of the Hatch Act of 1887 that established
agricultural experiment stations at land-grant universities to do research on issues
critical to each state’s citizenry.
Iowa State was the first public institution to establish a school of veterinary medicine.
It was the first institution to offer college courses in home economics, forestry,
agricultural studies, and teacher education. It was at Iowa State where the electronic
digital computer (described as the most important technological development of the
twentieth century) was invented, and where the corn hybrids responsible for nearly half of
all varieties grown in this country were developed.
Today, Iowa State University has little resemblance to the small agricultural college
that emerged from the Iowa prairie.
Its more than 175 major buildings spread across 1,770 acres form one of the most
beautiful campuses in the nation. Inside these buildings are people who are as dedicated
to the land-grant mission as were the academic pioneers of the nineteenth century. With
supercomputers, nanotechnology, and high-tech laboratories, Iowa State University is
among the most technologically advanced institutions in the nation.
The modern Iowa State University is dedicated to revitalizing the land-grant mission.
With the same spirit of innovation that led to the development of the Cooperative
Extension Service and the Agricultural Experiment Station system, Iowa State faculty
and staff are developing research and technology transfer programs that will serve Iowa
and the nation well into the future. Iowa State has been referred to in a national study
as a technology transfer powerhouse.
33
i o wa s tat e u n i v e r s i t y ’ s h e r i ta g e
Iowa State University is taking a leading role in such critical areas as plant sciences,
agricultural biotechnology, information sciences, materials science, agricultural
production and product development, food and nutrition sciences, protection of the
environment, design and communities, and many other areas. At the same time, it is an
institution that is exceptionally student-focused, with sensitivity for the need to provide
a well-rounded and broad-based academic program for all its students and an out-of-theclassroom experience second to none.
Iowa State’s programs are designed to prepare graduates for leadership roles in an
increasingly global community, with emphases on effective communication skills and
knowledge of other nations’ peoples and cultures.
More than ever, Iowa State University is a university with its roots planted firmly in the
rich Iowa soil and its eyes focused clearly on the future with a mission to create, share,
and apply knowledge to make Iowa and the world a better place.
