The date was February 12, 1985, the place was Belk Chapel, and the event was the traditional Honors Convocation. Dr. Billy O. Wireman, President of the College, began the program by recognizing freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors on the President's List, he also recognized 20 Honors Convocation the Presidential, Dana, Queens, Belk, and Redd scholars, along with New Dimensions Fellows and members of the Zetetic Society. Next, Chaplain Jennifer Burns presented a meditation and the Queens College choir sang Martin Shawls A Blessing. Dr. Cynthia Tyson, Vice President for Academic Affairs, introduced Dr. Whalen, who talked about the Patron saint of honor. . . the Knight of the Woeful Countenance, Don Quixote de la Mancha. After President Wireman conferred the Doctor of Humane Letters degree on columnist W Kays Gary of the Charlotte Observer, the program ended with Guardian bright, our alma mater - the Queens College hymn. From start to finish, the Convocation was, as Dr. Whalen put it, . .. doubly special, fforj not only do we get to dress up and have a parade, but we get to do so in honor of honor.
