All arc encouraged to attend the College and School Commencement Recognition Ceremonies being held throughout the day. Tc.l the members of the Class of 1996, the university extends sincere congratulations. Washington State University is dedicated to the preparation of students iclr productive lives and professional careers, to basic and applied research in a variety of areas, and to the dissemination of knowledge. The university consists of eight colleges, a graduate school, an Intercollegiate Center fix Nursing Education in Spokane and Yakima, the Center for Hotel and Restau­ rant Administration in Seattle, and branch campuses in Spokane, 'lri-Cities, and Vancouver. It also has extension offices in all 39 counties, four research centers, and 16 small business development offices statewide, The university also is responsible for administration of the Washingwn Higher Education 'lclecommunications System, which transmits courses to eight locales. for nearly a century, Washington State University has offered strong and diverse programs. From its founding in 1890, liberal arts and sciences have occupied an important place in the curriculum along with business, education, nursing, pharmacy, and the traditional land-grant programs in agriculture, home economics, veterinary medicine, and engineering. WSU now offers more than 100 major f-,clds of study to undergraduate students. Bachelor's degrees are available in most subject areas. The Honors Program is one of the fi.:w all-university programs for superior students at a major American institution of higher learning. The faculty, including a substantial number of scholars with national and international reputations, is charged with the development of instructional methods that will open students' minds to the most recent knowledge and discoveries. The opportunity for students to know and work closely with their instructors is one advantage of a residential campus. Washington State University at Pullman is one ofthe largest residential universities west of the Mississippi. OC the approxi­ mately 15,000 undergraduates and 2,000 graduate students, about half live on campus in university housing or in fraterni­ ties or sororities. Here, students of diverse social, economic, and ethnic backgrounds from throughout the nation and more than 90 foreign lands come together in a community in which education is the principal industry and human development the primary concern. Approximately 2,500 additional students were enrolled in courses this year at the university's branch campuses. As the branch campuses in Spokane, Tri-Cities and Vancouver develop over the next f-1ve years, this enrollment is expeCled to multiply to several thousand, providing educational opportunities for place-bound citizens frn whom access to higher edu­ cation heretofore has been limited. The I ')96 Commencement Program includes those degree candidates from August I ')')5 through May I ')')6. Those previously awarded degrees arc denoted with an asterisk (l).

This medi­ eval heritage has 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 medieval times, a master (from the Latin magister, "teacher") was a person licensed to teach by the chancellor of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. As the number of masters increased, they ultimately formed a guild. The word universitas was a common term applied to any collectivity, including that of guilds. The university probably took form around 1170 as a guild of teachers rather than a union of faculties. It was sanctioned by Pope Innocent III in 1210 in a bull which recognized and approved the written statutes of the teachers' guild. By approximately 1250 the University of Paris masters were divided into four faculties: theology, canon law, medicine, and the arts. The art students, by far the greatest number, correspond to our "undergraduates" of today. They ultimately organized themselves into "nations" based on the geographical regions of Europe from which they came. The universities, international in their appeal both to students and scholars, sought and received support from the papacy. Students attended classes, heard lectures, and engaged in disputations, but there appears to have been no examination unless a student determined to become a master. After four or five years of resident study, the student, indicating an intention to become a master, would be tested. Passing these trials, the candidate would don a special gown and take a seat with the bachalari, or bachelors. This ceremony was often followed by a feast. Between the baccalaureate and the master's degree, the student obtained a licentiate, an authorization to teach. Until the Civil War, the American college system was based on the English model. Most colleges stood alone, rather than being part of a university, and the baccalaureate was the only earned degree awarded. The curriculum was invariably classical and essentially the same as in the Middle Ages. Since there was little opportunity for post baccalaureate study in the United States, students sought higher education abroad. After 1815, perhaps reflecting the nationalism born of the War of 1812, students increasingly attended German universities and returned with the concept of higher degrees as earned degrees based on a specified curriculum and embracing independent research. The Post-Civil War period received impetus from another direction also. The Morrill Act, adopted by Congress in 1862, established the land-grant college system-of which WSU is a part-which led to a rapid increase in public universities and an extension of graduate study. The expansion of the curriculum into new fields of specialization to meet the needs of an increasingly industrial society led to multiplication of degree titles to identify the areas of educational experience and special­ ization. Information for this section was excerpted from the files in the WSU Registrar's Office and from Admissions, Academic Records, and Registrar Services, by C. James Quann and Associates, published by Jossey Bass, Inc., 1987 edition. 5 COMMENCEMENT Commencement is the special occasion that provides public recognition of the academic achievement of students after four or more years of study by awarding a diploma specifying a degree. This diploma is an official document certifying the completion of past academic experience. · !'he first WSU commencement was

  • An Introduction to Cantonpop
    An Introduction to Cantonese Pops (Updated version) Dr Helan Yang (Learning and teaching materials for teachers’ reference) Teachers may make reference to the book “Reading Cantonese Songs: The Voice of Hong Kong Through Vicissitudes”《粵語歌曲解讀：蛻變中的香港聲音》 written by Yu Siu Wah and Helan Yang Historical Overview The Origin of Cantonese Pops It is commonly held that Cantonese Pops (known as Cantopop1) emerged in the 50’s, but it is more likely that Cantonese songs with newly composed tunes and lyrics had already come into existence in Hong Kong as early as the 30’s. For example, the song《壽仔去拍 拖》with Cantonese lyrics intercalated with English words featured in an album released by New Moon Records Ltd (新月唱片) in 1930 was already emblematic of Hong Kong culture. The strophic structure of the lyrics and its reflection on life’s reality are similar to that of the ‘Humorous Songs’ (諧趣歌曲) of the 50’s and 60’s. According to Lu Kam (魯金), an expert on Hong Kong folk heritage, the two songs “Sleep Well My Baby”《兒安眠》and “The Miss Who Couldn’t Care Less”《風流小姐》featured in the singer Li Qi Nian’s (李綺 年) album released by New Moon Records in 1935 have new tunes and new lyrics, and can be regarded as the predecessor of Cantonese Pops. The early Cantonese Pops did not have a uniformed nomenclature. The Cantonese albums of the 50’s were released under the various names of ‘Dancing Songs’ (跳舞歌曲), ‘Dancing Cantonese Operatic Songs’ (跳舞粵曲), ‘Cantonese Modern Songs’ (粵語時代 曲), ‘Cantonese Ditties’ (粵語小曲) and ‘Modern Cantonese Operatic Songs’ (時代粵曲).
