Julian Wuerth, Ph.D., was the guest speaker at the ceremony. Dr. Wuerth is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Philosophy at Vanderbilt University. Wuerth attended the University of Chicago as an
undergraduate, where he was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, and earned his Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania, spending a DAAD fellowship year at the Humboldt University of Berlin. After time as a professor at the University of Cincinnati, Wuerth joined Vanderbilt University.
A national organization begun in 1906, the Cum Laude Society recognizes those students who, throughout their high school years, have distinguished themselves for academic excellence. The society makes clear that academic excellence does not refer only to superior scholarly achievement, but also to the qualities of dignity
and honor in pursuit of those achievements. The Cum Laude Society’s motto is Areté, Diké, Timé and means “excellence, justice, and honor.”
