Elliott HallHall ofof Music West Lafayette,Lafayette, IndianaIndiana DecemberDecember 15, 2020 2019 The Purdue University Mace is used at every commencement exercise. It was designed and crafted by David Peterson, a former professor in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts (Division of Art and Design), and assistant professor of Jewelry and Metalsmithing at Purdue. The historical significance of the mace is described on page 3. The Two Hundred and Forty-Second Commencement of Purdue University Edward C. Elliott Hall of Music West Lafayette, Indiana December 2020 1 THE COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY A Perspective Purdue University owes a substantial debt to its medieval predecessors for its commencement ceremony and academic attire. The academic heritage that evolved during the Middle Ages provided us with a teaching institution, the university; a method of measuring academic progress, degrees; and a structure for an appropriate ceremony recognizing the student’s achievement, commencement. In June 1875, Purdue University held its first commencement outdoors on the Oval, awarding the Bachelor of Science degree to a class of one. In 1903, commencement was moved indoors to the newly-completed Eliza Fowler Hall. The steady growth of the size of the graduating class necessitated moving the exercises to larger and larger facilities: the Memorial Gymnasium, the Armory, the Field House, and in 1940, to the Edward C. Elliott Hall of Music. The 242nd commencement at the West Lafayette campus is being held today for graduates who qualified for their degrees at the end of the current semester. The colorful ceremony, enacted each year on campuses throughout the world, is the formal climax and recognition of the graduates’ years of study and preparation. Academic Attire Graduate candidates for degrees wear a black tassel on the left side of the square Oxford cap, or mortarboard, signifying receipt of a previous degree. At Purdue, the color of the trim on the hood identifies the areas of specialization.

They constituted the official signatures of emperors, bishops, and corporations. University seals evolved from those of church corporations. In Europe, the early faculties and student nations possessed seals; in the United States, all colleges and universities have had seals since Colonial days. The current Purdue Seal was officially adopted in 1969 and retains elements of earlier versions, which evolved beginning in 1890. The seal features a stylized depiction of the griffin, the mythological beast with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion. In medieval heraldry, the griffin symbolized strength. The three-part shield represents Purdue’s traditional aims: learning, discovery, and engagement. The seal combines these traditional elements with modern simplicity of design to form one of the most distinctive of university symbols. The University Mace The mace has an ancient history as a symbol of authority. Originally giant clubs made of iron and capable of breaking armor, maces were used chiefly by knights. They were also often borne by a royal bodyguard to protect the king in processions. In the course of time, by the 14th century, they assumed more ceremonial functions and lost their warlike appearance, as they began to be decorated with jewels and precious metals. In 1649, the English House of Commons obtained a mace. In 1756, a silver mace was made for the colony of South Carolina; it is still in use in the state capital at Columbia. In the United States House of Representatives, the mace is placed to the right of the speaker. As a symbol of order and authority, a mace is carried before the president and other dignitaries in the platform party in commencement processions. As a reflection of the modern vision of a truly American university, the design of the Purdue Mace embraces sweeping thrusts and counterthrusts to create a vital energy within an otherwise clean, linear aesthetic. The University seal is located in the center of the mace-head; bounding it are two sweeping silver wings. The Presidential Closely allied with maces and seals as symbols of authority are the collars of office worn by many officials, including Medallion chancellors and presidents of universities. Collars usually include a medallion inscribed with the seal of the institution and are worn over the academic gown on public occasions, particularly at commencements. Located in the center of Purdue’s Presidential Medallion is the three-part “heraldic shield” and griffin, the symbol which has existed throughout Purdue’s long history of University seals. The medallion, as well as the mace, was handcrafted from sterling silver, ebony, and gold, using the centuries-old techniques of swedging, forging, hollow-forming, and silver soldering. The Banners The banners, sometimes known as standards or gonfalons (a flag that hangs from a crosspiece or frame), originated in the medieval republics of Italy as an ensign of state or office. They have been adopted in many universities around the world as school or institutional insignias. The fourteen banners displayed represent the University, the Graduate School, and the twelve undergraduate colleges or schools at the West Lafayette campus. The colors of the University, old gold and black, are joined together in a pattern common to all the banners. The bands are the same colors as the tassels worn on the mortarboard of the college’s or school’s graduates. Each college or school is represented on its banner by a symbol and two colored bands indicating its major academic discipline. The Teaching Medallion The medallion identifies members of the Purdue University Teaching Academy, a dedicated and dynamic network of scholar-teachers committed to the continual improvement of teaching and learning at Purdue University. Under the auspices of the Office of the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Teaching Academy works with the academic schools, the Center for Instructional Excellence, and others to enrich the educational experiences of the entire Purdue University community. The mission of the Teaching Academy is to provide leadership and serve as a catalyst to enhance and strengthen the quality of undergraduate, graduate, and outreach teaching and learning. 3 ORDER OF EXERCISES *THE NATIONAL ANTHEM The Star Spangled Banner Francis Scott Key (The audience is invited to sing.) arr.

    Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 BuYun Chen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen During the Tang dynasty, an increased capacity for change created a new value system predicated on the accumulation of wealth and the obsolescence of things that is best understood as fashion. Increased wealth among Tang elites was paralleled by a greater investment in clothes, which imbued clothes with new meaning. Intellectuals, who viewed heightened commercial activity and social mobility as symptomatic of an unstable society, found such profound changes in the vestimentary landscape unsettling. For them, a range of troubling developments, including crisis in the central government, deep suspicion of the newly empowered military and professional class, and anxiety about waste and obsolescence were all subsumed under the trope of fashionable dressing. The clamor of these intellectuals about the widespread desire to be “current” reveals the significant space fashion inhabited in the empire – a space that was repeatedly gendered female. This dissertation considers fashion as a system of social practices that is governed by material relations – a system that is also embroiled in the politics of the gendered self and the body. I demonstrate that this notion of fashion is the best way to understand the process through which competition for status and self-identification among elites gradually broke away from the imperial court and its system of official ranks.

This day of presentations of scholarly and creative activities by our undergraduate students is the culmination of a year long collaboration between the students and their faculty mentors. The many presentations, posters, performances and exhibits illustrate an impressive level of accomplishment as a result of these relationships. We will see the participation of 430 students and 226 faculty members in this year’s Symposium. Additionally, donors and friends of EMU now support 22 Symposium Undergraduate Research Fellows. As you explore the extraordinary breadth and depth of student scholarly and creative activity, you will discover the special synergy of teaching and learning that powers this year’s Symposium program. Now in its 33rd year, EMU’s Undergraduate Symposium is one of the longest standing events of its kind in the country. In 1980, former provost and professor of chemistry, Dr. Ronald Collins, conceived the idea of presenting undergraduate student research to the University community, which was supported by then president Dr. John Porter. The first event began with a handful of students and faculty mentors from the College of Arts and Sciences. Each president and provost since has supported the Undergraduate Symposium and acted to enhance its stature. Many faculty and staff have worked hard to make this Undergraduate Symposium a success. I gratefully acknowledge the efforts of the volunteer Symposium Planning Committee and its chair, Dr.
