The chain of office is an ornament worn with the president’s academic regalia symbolizing the authority and responsibilities incumbent with the office. The chain was presented in 2004 during the installation ceremony of President J. Bernard Machen. The medallion College of Pharmacy centerpiece is a 1.3-carat orange diamond engraved with the portraits, names and service years of the university’s 11 presidents. The Major Analytical Instruments Center at DEAN William H. Riffee UF used ion beam engraving technology on the medallion. Also on the medallion are Doctor of Pharmacy three .025-carat blue diamonds placed around the silhouette of the Century Tower and University Auditorium, signifying teaching, research and service. All four diamonds, Denis Kwabena Akomeah Radcliffe A.

It also was the inspiration for the ceremonial mace created Lavern V. Carnegie Charles Andrew Kemp Abraham Kuruvilla Sankaramangalath II Binetta P. Chacko Jieun Kim Marc C.

The mace dates back to the Middle Ages and symbolizes Helen Choi Seong Koo Kim Sabina Sebastian strength and authority; each is unique and reflects the values and characteristics of the institution.

The four pillars supporting the globe represent the four original colleges; Agriculture, Engineering, Henry James Gialanella Ana H. Yuk Liberal Arts and Law. The cone holds the University of Florida Seal and words to the Alma Mater. The staff is carved from native cherry wood. The acorn finial depicts the adage “from tiny acorns mighty oaks do grow,” a commitment to life long learning. The brick pattern on the handle symbolizes higher education tradition and structure. Like the institution it represents, the mace is not static; growth and movement are expressed with loose rings engraved with the names of the university’s presidents and their years in office.

C o m m e n c e m e n t 72 73 Caps and Gowns, An Explanation

The academic costume worn by graduating students and faculty at today's commencement ceremonies evolved from a style of dress worn by members of guilds and religious orders in medieval times. The black academic gown is worn by individuals who have earned a degree in higher education. In addition, hoods are worn by graduate degree candidates, but not by undergraduate degree candidates.

At the University of Florida, the lining of the hood has a blue chevron on an orange background to represent the university colors. University faculty members who hold degrees from another college or university wear the colors of their alma mater.

The velvet edging on the academic hood is the color that represents the particular degree held by the wearer. Agricultural and Life Sciences and Forest Resources and Conservation share maize edging; Design, Construction and Planning and Building Construction are blue-violet; Audiology degrees have colonial blue edging; Business Administration and Accounting are drab; Dentistry is lilac; Education is light blue; Engineering degrees are represented by orange edging; Fine Arts degrees have brown edging; Journalism and Communications is garnet; Law is purple; Liberal Arts is white and Liberal Sciences is gold-yellow; Medicine is green; Music is pink; Natural Resources and Environment is antique gold; Pharmacy is olive; Philosophy is royal blue; Public Health degrees have salmon-pink edging; and Rehabilitation Counseling degrees have Nile green edging.

Distinctions among sleeves indicate the type of degree held by the wearer. A long, pointed sleeve indicates a bachelor’s degree, while a long, closed sleeve with a slit near the upper part of the arm designates a master’s degree. A round, open sleeve identifies a doctoral degree.

The doctoral costume also has velvet running on the rest of the gown, including cross bars on the sleeve. The trimming may be black or it may match the color of the velvet hood edging. Colored tassels on the degree candidates’ caps indicate a candidate’s school or college.

Florida, our Alma Mater Thy glorious name we praise All thy loyal sons and daughters A joyous song shall raise. Where palm and pine are blowing, Where southern seas are flowing, Shine forth thy noble Gothic walls, Thy lovely vine-clad halls. Neath the Orange and Blue victorious Our love shall never fail. There’s no other name so glorious– All hail, Florida, Hail!
