THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
Oh, say! can you see by the dawn's early light,
    What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
    O'er the ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air
    Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there;
Oh, say, does that Star-spangled Banner yet wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
                   ALMA MATER

              Dower'd with eternal youth.
          Crowned with love of son and daughter,
              Thou shalt conquer as of yore.
          Dear old Pittsburgh, Alma Mater,
              God preserve Thee evermore!

THE HONORABLE DICK THORNBURGH
The Honorable Dick Thornburgh, former governor of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, attorney general of the United States,
and under-secretary-general of the United Nations, will serve as
the featured speaker at today's Honors Convocation. A member of the
University of Pittsburgh Board of Trustees, Thornburgh also will receive
a Distinguished Alumni Fellow Award during today's ceremony.
Thornburgh earned his LLB degree from the University of Pittsburgh
School of Law in 1957, and began his distinguished public life a decade
later when he was elected to serve as a delegate to Pennsylvania's historic
Constitutional Convention. He was appointed the U.S. attorney for the
Western District of Pennsylvania, where he built a reputation for bringing
organized crime figures and corrupt public officials to justice. From 1975
to 1977, he served as assistant attorney general of the United States in
Washington, D.C., in charge of the criminal division. His fairness and
effectiveness earned him the respect of the voters in Pennsylvania, who
elected Thornburgh governor in 1978. He was reelected to a second term
in 1982, making him the first Republican ever to serve two successive terms.
Thornburgh pursued his love of education and politics as director of the
Institute of Politics at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School
of Government. His term as director of the institute was cut short when
President Ronald Reagan appointed him attorney general of the United
States in 1988, a post for which he received unanimous confirmation by
the U.S. Senate. In the three years he served Presidents Reagan and
George H.W. Bush, the Department of Justice obtained a record number
of convictions in the area of white-collar crime. He personally argued and
won cases twice before the U.S. Supreme Court. As under-secretary-general
for administration and management at the United Nations (1992-93),
Thornburgh won widespread acclaim for his report on strategies designed
to create efficient, cost-effective peacekeeping and humanitarian programs.
Along with his wife, Ginny, Thornburgh has been a longtime supporter
of the rights and interests of people with disabilities, a commitment
inspired by their son, Peter. As attorney general he played a leading role
in the enactment of the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
-the most important civil rights legislation since the 1960s-designed to
empower more than 49 million citizens with disabilities.
Thornburgh has served his alma mater as a member of its Board of Trustees
-first as an ex-officio member and currently as a term trustee-and was
a member of the School of Law's Board of Visitors. In 1998, he donated
the Dick Thornburgh Archival Collection to the University Library
System, a gift that has afforded the public a rare opportunity to share in
his exceptional life. Thornburgh received an Honorary Doctor of Public
Service degree from Pitt in 1984, was awarded a Bicentennial Medal of
Distinction in 1988, and was named a University Legacy Laureate in 2000.
