5 | COMMENCEMENT MAY 2020 SPECIAL GUEST The Honorable Bill Lee Governor of Tennessee

Bill Lee is a seventh-generation Tennessean and the 50th Governor of Tennessee . He was raised in Franklin, where he still resides today with his wife, Maria, on his family’s farm . He’s the proud father of four adult children (Jessica, twin sons Jacob and Caleb, and Sarah Kate) and has eight grandchildren .

After attending Williamson County Schools, Governor Lee attended Auburn University, where he studied Mechanical Engineering . After graduation, he returned home to Franklin to join the family business his grandfather started in 1944, a comprehensive mechanical construction service company . He became president of Lee Company in 1992 .

Now, Governor Lee is focused on several priorities, including good jobs, great schools, and safe neighborhoods so we can keep Tennessee moving in the right direction .

During his first year in office, Governor Lee passed a series of legislative initiatives to strengthen career and technical training, expand school choice, pursue criminal justice reform, improve public safety, and sharpen the effectiveness of government. His administration is also focused on the accelerated transformation of rural Tennessee .

Under his leadership, Tennessee was named the number one best fiscally managed state in the country, the best business climate in the U S. ., number one in the nation for advanced industry job growth and the best state for small business growth . In the past year, the state has garnered 108 project commitments to create 16,500 jobs and $3 6. billion in capital investments, with Mitsubishi, FedEx-Logistics, JNJ, Pilot com,. Hyosung, Amazon, Smile Direct, Icee, and dozens of other companies choosing to invest in Tennessee’s business-friendly environment .

The governor and first lady are people of strong faith. They are active in Grace Chapel Church and in numerous faith-based ministries, which have taken them all over the world to serve people in need, including to Africa, Haiti, Central America, and the Middle East .

EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY | 6 SPECIAL GUEST

Singer, Songwriter, Multi-Instrumentalist, Record Producer, Ms. Dolly Parton Actress, Author, Businesswoman, and Humanitarian

Dolly Parton’s life and career together make a rags-to-rhinestones story which began on January 19, 1946. Born the fourth child of 12, Dolly grew up in Locust Ridge, nestled against the Great Smoky Mountains. Music runs deep in the Parton family and while many played important parts in Dolly’s success, she credits Uncle Bill Owens for helping her get started in the music business.

From taking the stage of “The Cas Walker Farm and Home Hour” in Knoxville, Tennessee, to landing a spot on “The Porter Wagoner Show,” Dolly’s talent soon catapulted her to super-stardom.

Her songs have captured the hearts of generations. Her electric smile has brightened the lives of millions. Her trademark style is recognized across the globe.

Today, Dolly is one of an elite group of individuals to receive at least one nomination from all four major annual American entertainment award organizations; Emmy, GRAMMY, Oscar, and Tony. In 2004, the U.S. Library of Congress gave her the distinguished Living Legend Award.

Of everything Dolly has achieved, she remains humble and grounded in faith and family. From her “Coat of Many Colors” to her wigs of many styles, no dream was ever too big and no mountain ever too high for the little country girl who turned the world into her stage.

From singing barefoot on the front porch of her Tennessee Mountain Home to commanding the stage in six-inch heels, Dolly Parton is a larger-than-life living legend with a heart as big as her dreams.

EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY | 44 Musical Selections

The Star-Spangled Banner

Oh say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through 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

In the shadow of the mountains, Under skies of blue, Stands our dear old Alma Mater, Glorious to view . Sound the chorus, speed it onward; Thee we’ll never fail! Hail to thee, our Alma Mater— Hail to thee, all hail!

In thy halls we formed our friendships, Dear old college home; And to thee we pledge our hearts, Wherever we may roam . Sound the chorus, speed it onward; Thee we’ll never fail! Hail to thee, our Alma Mater— Hail to thee, all hail!

45 | COMMENCEMENT MAY 2020 Academic Regalia

The three academic degrees generally recognized are the bachelor’s, the master’s and the doctor’s . The name of each degree seems to have been determined by medieval university custom . The bachelor’s degree, the baccalaureate, takes its name directly from the medieval practice of “bachelors” wearing a garland of bayberries . The master’s degree was equivalent to a license to teach, and sometimes was followed by the express words Licentia Docendi . The doctor’s degree was originally a title of respect and a recognition of great learning . Today the doctor’s degree indicates advanced study and independent research in a specialized field of learning, whereas honorary degrees are granted for meritorious service and for distinction in public or private endeavor . In the medieval university, students and teachers wore gowns indicating their status and scholastic achievement .

In 1895, an intercollegiate commission drafted a uniform code for the use of academic caps, gowns and hoods in the United States . This code is followed by approximately 95 percent of all colleges and universities. In 1932 and 1935 the American Council on Education reviewed and refined the American academic costume .

Those holding a bachelor’s degree traditionally wear a gown of worsted material, fastened at the top, and distinguished by long pointed sleeves hanging nearly to the knees . The master’s gown, worn open, is made either of worsted or silk, and has long closed sleeves with an arc appearing near the bottom and a slit for the arm near the middle of the sleeves . The doctor’s gown, also worn open, is made of silk, faced with a broad strip of velvet, and has three bars of velvet on each sleeve .

A hood may be worn with the gown and is made of the same material . The master’s hood is three and one-half feet long, faced with a three-inch strip of velvet; the doctor’s hood is four feet long, faced with a five-inch strip of velvet. The color of the tassel or the velvet strip on the hood indicates the field of study in which the degree was earned or granted, as for example: Agriculture – Maize; Arts, Letters, Humanities – White; Commerce, Accountancy, Business – Drab; Dentistry – Lilac; Economics – Copper; Education – Light Blue; Engineering – Orange; Fine Arts including Architecture – Brown; Forestry – Russet; Journalism – Crimson; Law – Purple; Library Science – Lemon; Medicine – Green; Music – Pink; Nursing – Apricot; Oratory (Speech) – Silver Gray; Pharmacy – Olive Green; Philosophy – Dark Blue; Physical Education – Sage Green; Physical Therapy – Teal; Public Administration including Foreign Service – Peacock Blue; Public Health – Salmon Pink; Science – Golden Yellow; Social Work – Citron; Theology – Scarlet; Veterinary Science – Gray .

The appropriate cap for all degrees is the familiar “mortarboard ”. A tassel, displaying the color signifying the field of specialization, hanging to the left of the face, is appropriate for all degrees. Those holding a doctor’s degree may wear a soft velvet cap of the color indicating their field of study, or with the “mortarboard” may wear a tassel in whole or in part of gold thread .

The Presidential Medallion - The presidential medallion is the traditional symbol of office worn at official functions. The design features a torch symbolizing learning; a wreath, symbol of victory, while the star ruby symbolizes excellence .

The Mace - The East Tennessee State University mace is an organic design in forged silver with an ebony handle . The form gives a circular impression, referring to the medieval concept of a heavy armor- breaking club yet losing its warlike appearance by becoming less solid and a more decorative symbol of the university as it encompasses global thinking. A central staff radiates the thrust of the rhythmical branches of the tree of knowledge; the heavier branches representing the well-established disciplines and the more delicate ones the beginnings and growth of the new .

The Flag - The flag of East Tennessee State University is of simple conception, yet representative of the rich heritage of the area and the aspirations of the university .
