The names of the 24 graduates of the Class of 1822 were, for the most part, also translated into Latin for the program. In the early years of the College, each graduating senior was required to deliver a Commencement “part,” an oration on ancient or modern topics, which was frequently given in one of the classical languages, Latin, Greek, or Hebrew. The final Latin oration was given in 1893, but the tradition of Latin survives in the language used to dedicate the Commencement Exercises and to confer the bachelor of arts degree. The translation below was provided by Barbara Weiden Boyd, Henry Winkley Professor of Latin and Greek. May it be good, felicitous, and well-omened: [an ancient Roman formula used at the outset of a ritual to ensure its success] To John Baldacci, esteemed Governor; to the Representatives and Senators who personally preside over the arts and letters for the State of Maine; and to the honorable and respected Trustees of Bowdoin College; to Barry Mills, distinguished President; to the entire academic senate; to the venerable religious leaders; in short, to all patrons of the human race everywhere, the young people hereby initiated into the arts and letters most humbly dedicate these exercises. Held in a gathering of Bowdoin College, in Brunswick, in the State of Maine, on the seventh day before the Kalends of June, in the 2007th year of our well-being and in the 231st year of the authority of the United States of America. DEGREES This ancient formula is used by the President in conferring degrees: Candidati pro gradu baccalaureali, assurgite. Vir honorande, hosce juvenes, quos censeo idoneos primum ad gradum in artibus, nunc tibi offero, ut a te instructus, eos ad gradum istum admittam. Placetne? (Placet.) Pro auctoritate mihi commissa, admitto vos ad primum gradum in artibus, et dono et concedo omnia jura, privilegia, honores atque dignitates, ad gradum istum pertinentia. In cujus testimonium hasce membranas litteris scriptas accipite. Candidates for the Baccalaureate degrees will rise. (To the Chair of the Board of Trustees) Honored sir, these young people whom I deem worthy of the first degree in Arts, I now present to you, that, if you so direct, I may admit them to that degree. Is such your will? (It is.) (To the Candidates) By virtue of the authority vested in me, I now admit you to the first degree in Arts and do grant and confer upon you all the rights, privileges, honors, and dignities pertaining to that degree. In witness whereof, receive these diplomas. NOTE: The Baccalaureate degrees are awarded individually, and the graduating class requests that there be no applause until the last degree is conferred. At the Commencement Exercises, Bowdoin displays the College flag and the flags of the United States of America, the State of Maine, and the home or dual-citizenship countries or territories of graduating students—in 2007, Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, France, Germany, Ghana, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Pakistan, People’s Republic of China, Poland, Republic of Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, The Netherlands, Turkey, and United Kingdom.

Sure, the old championship polls were bogus -- but the current system is just as bogus, and it doesn't even give fans anything to argue about. By: Allen Barra Nov. 29, 2001 | Everyone, I guess, assumes that the way things were when they were growing up is the norm, the way things ought to be. I'm that way, too, at least about college football. To many of my friends in the Northeast, college football means the Yale-Harvard game or Princeton–Cornell, or the game they turn on before dinner is ready on Thanksgiving. For people in the West, it's Cal-Stanford or USC-UCLA, or again, whatever precedes the turkey. If they watch the college championship on or near Jan. 2, it isn't because they have followed the teams all season or even know who is playing; they simply regard it as the less professional version of the Super Bowl. In the world they grew up in, college football is a mere appendage to the pro game, one that has a bit of snob appeal because it's played on college campuses (though this has lessened over the last couple of decades as some kind of college education has become accessible to nearly everyone).
