In the heart of dear old Emory
Where the sun doth shine,
That is where our hearts are turning
’Round old Emory’s shrine.
We will ever sing thy praises,
Sons and daughters true.
Hail we now our Alma Mater,
Hail the Gold and Blue!
Tho’ the years around us gather,
Crowned with love and cheer,
Still the memory of Old Emory
Grows to us more dear.
We will ever sing thy praises,
Sons and daughters true.
Hail we now our Alma Mater,
Hail the Gold and Blue!

Elsa Mekonnen made a significant impact by putting scholarship
and service into practice. As a Woodruff Fellow, a member of
Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, and an
Emory Healthcare nurse, she’s no stranger to teamwork.
Her peers describe her as a driven, passionate, and kind
clinician who centers patient care in everything she does—all while
balancing her role as a working mother of two.
In October 2022, Mekonnen organized a Woodruff volunteer
day at MedShare in Decatur, a national nonprofit that collects
surplus medical supplies from local hospitals and distributes them
to hospitals in developing countries and free clinics throughout the
greater Atlanta area.
A few weeks later, Mekonnen again gathered the Woodruff
cohort to participate in the November 2022 Emory Cares Day,
where scholars planned and executed a planting project at
Lullwater Preserve, restoring woodland growth and preventing
soil erosion. When volunteers arrived, Mekonnen was there to
greet them, offer an Emory Cares T-shirt, and walk them into the
preserve to join the group.
She served as an acute-care, board-certified, medical-surgical
registered nurse at Emory University Hospital for more than
seven years before graduating with an MSN. Mekonnen is now
a research nurse practitioner in Jeanine Park’s human integrative
physiology lab, which is part of Emory University School of
Medicine’s nephrology department. She regularly volunteers both
locally and abroad, including a recent immersion trip to Cusco,
Peru, associated with the Lillian Carter Center for Global Health
and Social Responsibility at the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School
of Nursing.
During her time as a registered nurse, Mekonnen cared for adult
patients served by specialties such as general surgery, cardiology,
oncology, transplant, and others. She also leveraged her expertise
as a super-user for clinical informatics projects and trained nurse
clinicians and staff on innovative technology solutions to improve
health care delivery.
Looking ahead, Mekonnen plans to continue her involvement
with Woodruff Scholars and returned in March 2023 to volunteer
with the group at MedShare. The graduate Marion Luther Brittain
Award recognizes Mekonnen’s compassionate character, tenacious
leadership, academic success, and service to Emory.

The Marion Luther Brittain Service Award is presented each
year to two graduating students (one undergraduate and one
graduate) from any academic division of the university who are
considered to have performed the most “significant, meritorious,
and devoted service to Emory University.” Considered the highest
honor presented to a student by Emory University, the Brittain
Award recognizes two students whose contributions to Emory are
outstanding. The award is made under provisions of a gift by the
late M. L. Brittain, former president of the Georgia Institute of
Technology and alumnus of Emory.

Bourdon’s time at Emory. A human health major with a
concentration in health innovation, she has made a difference
in every part of campus she has touched. During the COVID-19
pandemic, Bourdon recognized that first-year students did not have
the same chances to build a community as she did, so she decided
to do something about it.
With the support of friends and the Office of Spiritual and
Religious Life (OSRL), Bourdon created the Welcoming Interfaith
and Spiritual Exploration (WISE) pre-orientation program. In
WISE, incoming students explore different belief systems and
spiritual pathways before their first semester. Bourdon visited
faith and religious centers throughout metro Atlanta, trained
other students to be peer mentors, and became the program’s
first student coordinator. Since fall 2021, WISE has welcomed
fifty first-year students.
Bourdon also created connections for her peers through the
Voices of Inner Strength (VOIS) Gospel Choir, where she has
served as president and secretary. She helped promote the VOIS
Forever fund, which established a $100,000 endowment to secure
the choir’s future. Building on her belief in interconnection,
Bourdon also served as the founding assistant editor of Canopy
Forum, a digital publication on the role of religion in society from
Emory’s Center for the Study of Law and Religion.
In addition, Bourdon served as co-coordinator of the Menstrual
Product Initiative, a partnership with Emory’s Office of Health
Promotion and Center for Women to provide free menstrual
products to students in need. As a first-generation college student
from Warner Robins, Georgia, she also serves as a mentor to high
schoolers through the Emory Pipeline Collaborative.
Beyond campus, Bourdon volunteers with Camp WINGS (When
in Need Get Support), a bereavement camp for children who have
lost a loved one, run by Heart of Georgia Hospice. In 2021, a Field
Scholar Award from the Emory Global Health Institute enabled her

Awards have flowed to him: eight times he has received
National Coach of the Year honors, including at the 2017 National
Championships, where he won for both the men’s and women’s
teams. In 2015, he was awarded the National Collegiate and
Scholastic Swimming Trophy, the highest award of its kind in the
US. The Collegiate Swimming Coaches of America, in 2021, named
him as one of the 100 Greatest Coaches of the Past 100 Years.
For him, the highest reward is “watching who these men and
women become.”
Howell applies a scientist’s rigor, pulling in experts on sports
psychology, wellness and nutrition, and even sleep neurobiology.
His record might encourage the beguiling idea that success
begets success. The truth is that Howell begins anew each season,
constantly fine-tuning to stay ahead in this “game of inches”
where his expertise, and his care for Emory’s athletes, have
meant so much.
As his many admirers agree, Howell has made good on his desire
to “achieve something uniquely Emory,” motivating his athletes
to be not just fierce competitors but thoughtful, compassionate
leaders and scholars who support their communities.

The university’s oldest awards for teaching were established in
1972 by alumnus Emory Williams 32C. Awards in the arts and
sciences are determined by a committee of Emory College faculty.
Emory College gives three of these awards each year, while other
schools of the university give one award.

and encompassing public health, global health, and pediatrics,
Ira Schwartz has kept students at the center of his multifaceted
career at Emory. His office door in the medical school admission
office is always open and used by many a student (and faculty
member) seeking his guidance, wisdom, and calm counsel. One
wall is filled with photos of alumni who have kept in touch long
after leaving medical school to pursue their careers.
After training in pediatrics and infectious diseases, Schwartz spent
several years at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
where he worked on malaria and other problems in tropical medi-
cine. His years working in Thailand and Kenya were helpful when
the burgeoning AIDS epidemic called him to work at Emory, first
at the Rollins School of Public Health (RSPH) and then the School
of Medicine, where he helped care for children at Grady Memorial
Hospital’s Ponce de Leon Clinic. For more than twenty years, he
directed the Southeast AIDS Training and Education Center, a feder-
ally funded professional education program in six southeastern states.
His long-running course, Public Health Implications of HIV/AIDS,
garnered Schwartz the RSPH Professor of the Year honors twice.
He helped organize and taught the Patient-Doctor Course and a
case-based learning course in the medical school for more than two
decades. Based on his teaching prowess and ability to relate to and
support medical students, he was appointed assistant (now associate)
dean of medical education and student affairs in 1999.
During curriculum reform in the medical school in 2007,
Schwartz was put in charge of the Medical Society system, orga-
nizing and leading the faculty advisors’ group. He received the
Evangeline T. Papageorge Distinguished Teaching Award in 2013,
the most prestigious award given to medical faculty, with students
saying, “Dr. Schwartz has been critical in our evolution throughout
medical school and will undoubtedly continue to be a role model for
all of us not only in our medical careers but for our lives in general.”

set since Jon Howell’s arrival in 1998 as coach of the Emory men’s
and women’s swimming and diving teams. Such runaway success
fosters community pride and attracts high-achieving students to
this now-legendary program.
Howell has guided the Eagles to fifteen National Collegiate
Athletic Association (NCAA) National Championships since 2005,
including wins for both the men and women in 2017. From his
first year at Emory, Howell set a tone for accomplishment, and
each year his teams have won conference titles, now totaling
forty-eight. He has overseen fifty-eight individual and fifty-one
relay national champions, nurtured fifty-one NCAA postgraduate
scholarship winners, and coached former Emory swimmer Andrew
Wilson 17C to the pinnacle of becoming the first Division III
swimmer to join a USA Olympic Team in 2021.
Committed to supporting students “beyond the water,” Howell
has fostered excellence on every level, creatively used resources,
and encouraged athletes to “bring their whole selves” to the
community he has inclusively created. For the current squad and
engaged alumni, Howell is one of the most significant teachers they
have ever had, fostering their development and well-being
in myriad ways.

of her community’s most active, compassionate, and effective
civic leaders. She has a long history of advocating for education,
the arts, mental health, families affected by Alzheimer’s, the
environment, children and adults living with disabilities, and more.
At Emory, Kennedy has been instrumental in A Family Affair,
the signature event benefiting the Goizueta Alzheimer’s Disease
Research Center. The annual event has raised more than $9.5
million since 2009.
Through the Spray Foundation and SKK Foundation, she
supports groundbreaking Alzheimer’s research and clinical trials at
Emory, as well as Emory’s research and clinical care for alcohol-
and opiate-affected children. She serves on the Executive Advisory
Council of the Emory Brain Health Center—a body whose
members contribute to the center’s mission through philanthropy,
networking, and advocacy.
Kennedy raised awareness of the needs of patients diagnosed
with mild cognitive impairment and their caregivers, and she
helped design the facility for the Charlie and Harriet Shaffer
Cognitive Empowerment Program, funded by the James M. Cox
Foundation.
Beyond Emory, she has been involved with, and supportive of,
the Alzheimer’s Association Georgia Chapter and Respite Care
Atlanta, which provides a stimulating, meaningful day program for
adults with cognitive challenges plus information and community
support for caregivers.
Committed to helping people with disabilities achieve
independence, she serves on the advisory board of the Bobby
Dodd Institute. In 2018, the organization bestowed the Circle of
Excellence Award on Kennedy, which “honors organizations and
individuals who have made significant contributions to the lives of
people with disabilities.”
She supports Skyland Trail, a nonprofit mental health treatment
organization in Atlanta that helps people with mental illness thrive
through a holistic program of evidence-based psychiatric treatment,
integrated medical care, research, and education. Kennedy has
contributed to its financial aid program, in her words, to “allow
families to focus on togetherness, positive energy, and healing.
Financial aid plays a critical role in assuring that those in need
can fully participate in a program that offers recovery and leads to
lives filled with purpose.”
Kennedy also serves on the boards and executive committees
of the High Museum of Art and the PATH Foundation, and
she is a former member of the Board of Trustees of the Atlanta
Speech School and the Woodruff Arts Center. The Kennedys were
previously recognized as Philanthropists of the Year by the Greater
Atlanta Chapter of the Association for Fundraising Professionals.
As the foregoing attests, Kennedy wholeheartedly embraces
Emory’s mission to apply knowledge in the service of humanity.

row in Alabama for crimes he did not commit. He would spend
the next thirty years there until the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI)
secured his freedom.
A native of Birmingham, Hinton was twenty-nine when a series
of crimes in area restaurants led to the murder of two managers
and the wounding of another. The surviving manager identified
him from a photo lineup, despite the fact that he was working in
a locked warehouse fifteen miles away.
Following his arrest, Hinton repeatedly stressed his innocence
to the detective, who responded: “I don’t care whether you did or
didn’t do it. But I’m going to make sure you are found guilty of it.”
He recited the five things that would convict Hinton: “Number
one, you’re Black. Number two, a White man is going to say you
shot him. Number three, you are going to have a White prosecutor.
Number four, you are going to have a White judge. And number
five, you are going to have an all-White jury.” A polygraph test
exonerated Hinton, though the judge refused to admit the test at
trial.
Hinton was confined to a five-by-seven-foot cell. In the first
three years, Hinton was “so angry with God” that he did not speak
to anyone. However, hearing another inmate crying over the death
of his mother propelled Hinton from his silence as he realized:
“My mother was still alive, and I was still alive. I had given the
state of Alabama my joy.”
Ultimately, EJI attorneys showed that the crime bullets could not
be matched to a gun owned by Hinton’s mother. At 9:30 a.m. on
April 3, 2015, Hinton left the Jefferson County Jail a free man, the
152nd person exonerated from death row since 1983.
Hinton now serves as an EJI community educator. He is a tire-
less and powerful advocate for the abolition of the death penalty,
having watched fifty-four men he had known be executed and an
additional twenty-two take their own lives. He also works with
LifeLines, which supports prisoners on death row through letter
writing. In 2018, Hinton wrote the memoir The Sun Does Shine:
How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row.
His personal indulgences are few—and of heartbreaking simplic-
ity. As he describes it, “Every night, I go outside and look up at the
stars and moon, because for years I could not see either. I walk in
the rain, because I didn’t feel rain for years.”
Mr. Hinton will be presented by Carla Freeman, interim dean of
Emory College of Arts and Sciences.
Through generously offering her time, resources, and expertise,
she has improved patient outcomes and enriched the lives of many
Atlantans.
Mrs. Kennedy will be presented by Carlos del Rio 86MR 88FM,
interim dean of the School of Medicine.

Journal-Constitution in 1972, Kennedy rose to become chairman and
CEO of his family’s company in 1988 and now serves as chairman
emeritus. During his tenure, annual revenues increased from $1.88
billion to $20 billion.
Today, as chairman of the James M. Cox Foundation, Kennedy
brings an unwavering commitment to improving the world around
him. Named for Kennedy’s grandfather, the foundation supports con-
servation and the environment, early childhood education, health, and
empowering families and individuals for success.
A former competitive cyclist, Kennedy is a past Masters National,
Pan American, and World Champion in the three thousand–meter
pursuit. He understands what it takes to conquer a tough hill, such
as the one facing scientists seeking a cure for cancer. Kennedy and his
wife, Sarah, have made important investments in the Winship Cancer
Institute to support faculty researchers. They also help cancer patients
through funding Winship’s patient-assistance program.
Kennedy was diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer at Emory
in 2014 and became a vocal supporter of men’s health awareness. He
was treated for cancer at Emory again in 2022.
The foundation made a transformational grant to Emory to
improve patient experiences and outcomes in 2015. The James C.
Kennedy Initiative for Transforming Care brought the lean operating
model from manufacturing to Emory Healthcare.
In 2018, the foundation established the Charlie and Harriet Shaffer
Cognitive Empowerment Program at the Goizueta Institute @Emory
Brain Health. Inspired by a friend’s experience and hearing stories
from caregivers, the Kennedys wanted to leverage an area of Emory’s
strength to develop more effective, evidence-based therapies for mild
cognitive impairment.
Kennedy has a long history of supporting Atlanta institutions,
including serving on the Atlanta Committee for Progress and being a
leading force behind Atlanta’s successful bid to host the 1996 Olympic
Games.
He serves on the board of the PATH Foundation, which has created
a network of greenway trails throughout metro Atlanta. Driven by a
love of the outdoors and its positive effects on health and well-being,
Kennedy is one of the largest private donors supporting the Atlanta
BeltLine. A former president of Wetlands America Trust, he previously
served on the board of Ducks Unlimited.
Translating best practices from his personal life to Cox’s business
operations, Kennedy launched Cox Conserves, a sustainability pro-
gram with goals to send zero waste to landfill by 2024 and become
carbon- and water-neutral by 2034.
In evaluating his philanthropic investments, Kennedy always begins
by asking, “What difference did it make?” Through game-changing
initiatives across a range of causes and organizations, he has offered
hope and healing, positively impacting countless individuals and their
communities.
Mr. Kennedy will be presented by Carlos del Rio 86MR 88FM,
interim dean of the School of Medicine.

a concern for higher education in a Christian setting on the part
of the Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Chartered in 1836 in Oxford, Georgia, the college was named
after John Emory (1789–1835), bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. In 1964 the college at Oxford was named Oxford College
of Emory University.
Emory College became Emory University by virtue of a char-
ter granted by the Superior Court of DeKalb County on January
25, 1915. Although classes on the Atlanta campus were begun in
the schools of law and theology as early as 1916, the college did
not move to Atlanta until 1919. The university now includes nine
schools, most tracing their origins to years before the chartering of
the university itself. These schools are Emory College and Oxford
College (1836), the School of Medicine (1854), Nell Hodgson
Woodruff School of Nursing (1905), Candler School of Theology
(1914), the School of Law (1916), Roberto C. Goizueta Business
School (1919), the James T. Laney School of Graduate Studies
(1919), and Rollins School of Public Health (1990).
The intent of the founders is perpetuated by the university’s
vision statement: A destination university internationally
recognized as an inquiry-driven, ethically engaged, and diverse
community, whose members work collaboratively for positive
transformation in the world through courageous leadership in
teaching, research, scholarship, health care, and social action.

Emory University acknowledges the Muscogee (Creek) people who
lived, worked, produced knowledge on, and nurtured the land
where Emory’s Oxford and Atlanta campuses are now located.
In 1821, fifteen years before Emory’s founding, the Muscogee
were forced to relinquish this land. We recognize the sustained
oppression, land dispossession, and involuntary removals of the
Muscogee and Cherokee peoples from Georgia and the Southeast.
Emory seeks to honor the Muscogee Nation and other Indigenous
caretakers of this land by humbly seeking knowledge of their
histories and committing to respectful stewardship of the land.
A S H C E
This is Emory’s 178th commencement. The exercises witnessed
today represent an imposition of medieval academic tradition on
an institution that had its roots in the nineteenth-century frontier.
The first Emory commencement was held in 1840, four years after
Emory College had been chartered and two years after the college’s
first classes. That first ceremony, however, was without graduating
students, as there were no graduates until the following year. Then,
as now, sermons and addresses had a central focus in the exercises,
though rarely have these addresses been so crucial as in 1849,
when all fifteen members of the graduating class were assigned
speaking places and spoke for as long as half an hour each.
Early commencement audiences sat for up to four hours in the
midsummer heat to listen to the numerous student and faculty
orations on such topics as “Our Government Unfavorable to
High Attainment in Literature,” “Social Equality,” and “Modern
Refinements.” These addresses in the early days were in English,
contrary to the practice at many other institutions. As President
A. B. Longstreet argued in 1842, speeches in Latin and Greek
were “worthy of the name pedantry, and nothing more.” In spite
of this advice, several later generations of students instructed their
audiences in the ancient tongues.

Academic dress goes back to the founding of European universities,
which were the products of the intellectual revival of the twelfth
century. All medieval students were clerks and consequently wore
the dress of clergy. This is the academic costume we wear today, with
certain changes introduced in the sixteenth century by Protestant
reformers. The oldest articles of academic wear were the robe, over
which was worn the habit, usually a kind of tunic with short, wide
sleeves. The medieval hood was lined with fur or inexpensive skins
and could be gathered around the neck or pulled up on the head
as a turban. It is uncertain when different colors became associated
with different degrees.
There were four kinds of caps: the round cap, reserved for
doctoral dignity; the tena, a round cap with strings tied under the
chin, worn by jurists; the square cap; and the Tudor bonnet. At
Oxford University in 1565 the square cap became the norm, but the
faculties that had become laicized adopted the Tudor bonnet that
is still worn by doctoral candidates today. The basic design of all
academic costume in the United States was first established in 1895
and was first used at Emory by the Class of 1902. The bachelor’s
gown features an embroidered Emory University seal in gold thread
and has long, pointed, open sleeves. The master’s gown has longer
sleeves, which are closed at the bottom with openings about midway
for the hands. Beginning in 2014, the bachelor’s and master’s
gowns are made of fabric spun from molten plastic pellets from
recycled water bottles. An average of twenty-three postconsumer
plastic bottles are used to create each gown, furthering Emory’s
commitment to sustainability initiatives. The doctor’s gown has full-
length lapels of velvet and bell-shaped sleeves with three horizontal
velvet bars. Tassels for bachelor’s and master’s caps are black; tassels
of gold thread may be worn by doctors. Gowns and caps are usually
black, although Emory and some other schools have specified that
their doctors may wear gowns of distinctive colors. Yale’s deep
blue doctoral gown, Harvard’s crimson, Columbia’s dark blue, and
Emory’s blue and gold are a few that may be seen in the procession.
The hood varies for the respective degrees, the doctor’s hood
being longer and fuller than the master’s. The field of study can
be determined from the velvet facing on the hood according to the
following color scheme: white, the arts; gold-yellow, science; purple,
law; apricot, nursing; green, medicine; teal, physical therapy; scarlet,
theology; salmon, public health; drab, business; and dark blue,
doctors of philosophy. The hood is lined with silk in the colors of
the degree-granting institution. For Emory graduates the lining is
blue with a chevron of gold.
The president of Emory University wears a badge of office given
to the university in 1965 by the Emory chapter, Gamma of Georgia,
of Phi Beta Kappa. Designed by Eric Clements of Birmingham,
England, and executed by the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths
in London, the solid gold badge is an open teardrop enclosing the
raised seal of the university and is suspended on a gold chain.
The chief marshal and deputy marshals lead the academic
procession. The faculty marshals and the secretary of the university
jointly manage the forming of the procession, the seating of com-
mencement participants, and the planning of other aspects of com-
mencement exercises. Marshals are identified by their unique blue
tunics, which are sleeveless and lined with gold.
The Quadrangle stage with blue canopy was named the
University Marshals’ Stage in honor of the dedication and service
provided by Emory’s chief marshals throughout history.
The university mace is carried in the procession by the imme-
diate past president of the Student Government Association.
Academically the mace is the symbol of a university as a corporate

body of scholars possessing its own jurisdiction and its own legally
constituted authority. Traditionally the mace is borne in procession
immediately before the chief officer of a university and is placed
before them during formal academic ceremonies.
The mace of Emory University, a gift from D.V.S., an Emory
College senior honor society, was designed by Eric Clements
and executed in silver and gold by the Worshipful Company of
Goldsmiths. In the teardrop at the apex of the mace, against a
background of oxidized silver, is a freestanding representation in
gold of a human skeleton. This is Dooley, the “spirit” of Emory,
who traditionally “rises” once each spring and for a week rules
campus. Immediately below the skeleton, in an open teardrop, is
a gold sphere divided (by stippling) into eight segments. Topping
the sphere is a simple cross, symbolizing the relationship of Emory
University to the Methodist church. The seal of the university is
sculptured in gold within the circular base.
Before each school in the procession, the school’s student mar-
shal carries its gonfalon, a banner in the color associated with the
respective school’s degree: medicine, green; public health, salmon;
nursing, apricot; theology, scarlet; law, purple; and business, drab.
The gonfalon of the graduate school is gold representing Emory’s
gold, and the gonfalons of Emory College and Oxford College
represent Emory’s blue.
E A L M
Graduating students who have a parent, grandparent, and/or
sibling who is also an Emory graduate are wearing specially
commissioned medallions hanging from blue and gold ribbons.
The medallions are expressions of the university’s gratitude to
those families who have chosen to continue the Emory education
tradition throughout the generations.

Spectators on the Quadrangle are seated facing the former Pitts
Theology Library, one of the two oldest buildings on the Atlanta
campus. Designed by the distinguished Pittsburgh architect Henry
Hornbostel (1867–1961), Convocation Hall—as it is now known—
was the original theology building in 1916. It was renovated in 1975
by architect Paul Rudolph to house the expanded library collection
of Candler School of Theology. Renovated again, the building
reopened in 2019 as a community gathering space and to welcome
visitors and members of the campus community alike as they meet
with the university’s president and other leaders.
Directly behind the spectators are Carlos Hall, the other original
campus building, and the expanded Michael C. Carlos Museum.
Formerly home to the School of Law, Carlos Hall was renovated
in 1986 according to a design by Michael Graves to house the
museum and the Department of Art History. The museum is named
for the philanthropist who donated most of the cost of the facility.
It was designed to maintain the classic symmetry and proportion of
the surrounding buildings, which are listed on the National Register
of Historic Places.
Bowden Hall, east of the museum, was constructed in 1951 in the
same style as the original campus buildings. Originally the History
Building, it was renamed in 1991 in honor of the late Henry L.
Bowden, former chair of the Board of Trustees of Emory University.
To the southeast of Bowden Hall is the Center for Library and
Information Resources. The center joins the tall, red-tile-crowned
Robert W. Woodruff Library and is linked to the Asa Griggs Candler
Memorial Library at the east end of the Quadrangle. Candler
Library was dedicated in 1926 in honor of the man who donated
the land for the campus and who provided the university with
strong leadership in its early years.
Next to Convocation Hall is the Loula Walker and Ely Reeves
Callaway Sr. Memorial Center. Thanks to a generous gift from
alumnus Ely R. Callaway Jr. in honor of his parents, this center joins
the former Humanities Building with the original Physics Building,
which was constructed in 1919.
At the west end of the Quadrangle is the Administration Building
(1955), a gift of Charles Howard Candler. Like his father, Asa,
Charles chaired the Board of Trustees for many years. Between
the Administration Building and the former Pitts Library sits the
more modern White Hall, the main classroom building of Emory
College. Above the trees on the north side of the Quadrangle are
the curved red roof of the William R. Cannon Chapel—designed
by Paul Rudolph and dedicated in 1981—and the towers of Emory
University Hospital to the east.
