After receiving her bachelor’s degree in health care administration from ETSU in 1986, Ayers began her career as the administrator for Four Oaks Health Care Center in Jonesborough, where she remained for five years. She then assumed the administrator position at Erwin Health Care where she remained for 15 years. During her career, Ayers was an active member of the Tennessee Health Care Association and received awards for distinguished professional service and distinguished association service.

An active member of civic, educational and charitable organizations, Ayers is a former board member of the Tennessee State Board of Education and previously served as the Unicoi County Economic and Community Development chair. In 2007, Ayers became the president of The Ayers Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for the people of Tennessee with a special emphasis on Decatur, Henderson, Perry and Unicoi counties. The Foundation believes this is best accomplished by providing grants for scholarships, counselors, programs and related projects for educational enhancement, innovative health care and by supporting organizations dedicated to the preservation of our natural resources and wildlife habitats for hunting and fishing. Last fall, Governor Bill Haslam appointed Ayers to the new Board of Trustees for ETSU.

52 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, fas- tened 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; Engineer- ing – Orange; Fine Arts including Architecture – Brown; Forestry – Russet; Journalism – Crimson; Law – Purple; Library Science – Lemon; Medicine – Green; Music – Pink; Nurs- ing – 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 black “mortarboard.” A black tassel, or one of a color signifying the field of specialization, hanging to the left of the face, is ap- propriate 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.

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!
