The solemn procession before you is the college’s way of giving depth and distinction to the commencement of these men and women. Academic caps, gowns and hoods date back to the twelfth century, developing gradually from the long flowing robes that the teachers wore to protect themselves from the cold of the medieval buildings. Since the scholars of the time were usually clerics, their robes differed little from those used by the church orders. Slowly, certain styles were designated for the universities and these, with minor modifications, are the costumes worn today. Hoods were originally fashioned after the monk’s cowl; the mortarboard cap, with its tassels, evolved from the skull caps of the scholar-monks. In France, where the degree program probably began, wearing the cap and gown marked the for- mal admission of the “licentiate” to the body of masters. In our country, caps and gowns have been used since colonial times. Columbia University, or King’s College as it was then called, began this custom at an early date. New York University, the University of Pennsylvania and others followed, and in 1894 a com- mission representing the leading American colleges met to discuss academic ceremonies. A year later, the intercollegiate code was adopted. Today, more than 700 colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Turkey and others follow this code. Standard styles in caps, gowns, and hoods for Doctors, Masters and Bachelors were established. In recent years, distinctively colored gowns have been authorized for specific schools. For example, the Columbia gown is slate gray, the New York University gown is violet, the Yale gown is blue, the Harvard is crimson and The City University of New York gown is navy blue. The hoods worn over the shoulders and down the backs of the members of faculty reveal the degrees and institutions of the wearers. The velvet binding or edging is distinctive of the subject to which the degree pertains. The silk lining of the hood is in the color or colors of the institution granting the degree. The shortest hood is the Bachelor’s; the longest and broadest is the Doctor’s; and the Master’s is midway between these in size. In the colors of the colleges, there is much duplication and it would be useless to identify them. However, there is a standard color for the subject and the degree, indicated by the velvet edging which shows in front and over the shoulders, and the most common of these are given below: COLOR CODE FOR HOODS Arts, Letters, Humanities .........White Medicine .........................................Pink Commerce, Business .................Drab Music .....................................Silver Gray Economics..............................Copper Pharmacy ............................Olive Green Education ...........................Light Blue Philosophy ............................. Dark Blue Engineering ...........................Orange Physical Education ...............Sage Green Fine Arts.................................. Brown Public Administration .......Peacock Blue Law.......................................... Purple Science ........................... Golden Yellow Library Science .......................Lemon Social Work ..................................Citron Medicine ..................................Green Theology ..................................... Scarlet THE MACE The mace, a traditional part of every academic ceremony, is a heavy staff used as a symbol of authority. It is carried by the leader of the procession, who is referred to as the Mace Bearer or the Grand Marshal. In early Roman days the mace, carried by officers called lictors, consisted of a bundle of rods known as fasces that showed the authority of the magistrates. In medieval times, the mace was wielded in legislative assemblies to protect officials. In the United States House of Representatives the mace is about three feet long, made of ebony rods with a band of silver. A silver globe stands on a protruding rod, and a silver eagle with wings outspread sits on top of the globe. The John Jay College mace was created in 1968 by Anthony T. Muratore, a student and police detective. It is 29 inches long, in blue and gold, and bears the seal of the College and the seal of The City University of New York at its pinnacle. 2 COLLEGE PRESIDENTS THE CITY COLLEGE, Founded, 1847 President: LISA STAIANO-COICO HUNTER COLLEGE, Founded 1870 President: JENNIFER J.

  • Bella Abzug and the Campaign for Women's Liberation Within
    Leandra Zarnow, PhD “We Just Have to Push and Push and Push”: Bella Abzug and the Campaign for Women’s Liberation within Electoral Politics” * This paper was presented on March, 25, 2014 as part of "A Revolutionary Moment: Women's Liberation in the late 1960s and early 1970s," a conference organized by the Women's, Gender, & Sexuality Studies Program at Boston University, March 27-29, 2014. ** Copyright 2014. Do not circulate, publish, or quote without permission of the author. After a decade stumping for unelectable male “dove” candidates, Bella Abzug threw her hat in the ring—quite literally—entering the congressional race for Manhattan’s Nineteenth District in 1970. A keen political strategist, Abzug calculated “the renaissance in the born again women’s movement” (as she put it) would provide the necessary boost to her longstanding anti- war base. What assured her congressional win, Abzug reasoned, was her ability to garner women’s “swing vote” fostered, in part, by her natural alliance with feminists. Or so it seemed. Early on, Abzug approached Susan Brownmiller, a freelance writer she knew from reform Democratic politics in Greenwich Village. As a member of the newly formed New York Radical Women, Brownmiller was well positioned to compel this and like consciousness-raising groups to come out for Abzug. “I will take the cause of women—America’s oppressed majority—to the halls of Congress,” Abzug had promised in her March announcement speech, a pledge she believed would directly appeal to all feminists. Accordingly, she was rather taken aback by Brownmiller’s cool reception. “They will not support you,” Abzug recalled Brownmiller curtly dismissing.

  • Rethinking Coalitions: Anti-Pornography Feminists, Conservatives, and Relationships Between Collaborative Adversarial Movements
    Rethinking Coalitions: Anti-Pornography Feminists, Conservatives, and Relationships between Collaborative Adversarial Movements Nancy Whittier This research was partially supported by the Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral Sciences. The author thanks the following people for their comments: Martha Ackelsberg, Steven Boutcher, Kai Heidemann, Holly McCammon, Ziad Munson, Jo Reger, Marc Steinberg, Kim Voss, the anonymous reviewers for Social Problems, and editor Becky Pettit. A previous version of this paper was presented at the 2011 Annual Meetings of the American Sociological Association. Direct correspondence to Nancy Whittier, 10 Prospect St., Smith College, Northampton MA 01063. Email: [email protected]. 1 Abstract Social movements interact in a wide range of ways, yet we have only a few concepts for thinking about these interactions: coalition, spillover, and opposition. Many social movements interact with each other as neither coalition partners nor opposing movements. In this paper, I argue that we need to think more broadly and precisely about the relationships between movements and suggest a framework for conceptualizing non- coalitional interaction between movements. Although social movements scholars have not theorized such interactions, “strange bedfellows” are not uncommon. They differ from coalitions in form, dynamics, relationship to larger movements, and consequences. I first distinguish types of relationships between movements based on extent of interaction and ideological congruence and describe the relationship between collaborating, ideologically-opposed movements, which I call “collaborative adversarial relationships.” Second, I differentiate among the dimensions along which social movements may interact and outline the range of forms that collaborative adversarial relationships may take. Third, I theorize factors that influence collaborative adversarial relationships’ development over time, the effects on participants and consequences for larger movements, in contrast to coalitions.

Susan Schechter1 ABSTRACT Our popular understanding of domestic violence has shifted significantly over the past forty years, and with it, our legal response. We have moved from an interpretation of domestic violence as a private relationship problem managed through counseling techniques to an approach that configures domestic violence first and foremost as a public crime.

  • I. This Term Is Borrowed from the Title of Betty Friedan's Book, First
    Notes POST·WAR CONSERVATISM AND THE FEMININE MYSTIQUE I. This term is borrowed from the title of Betty Friedan's book, first published in 1963, in order not to confuse the post-Second World War ideology of women's role and place with such nineteenth-century terms as 'woman's sphere'. Although this volume owes to Freidan's book far more than its title, it does not necessarily agree with either its emphasis or its solutions. 2.

  • Women's Liberation: Seeing the Revolution Clearly
    Sara M. EvanS Women’s Liberation: Seeing the Revolution Clearly Approximately fifty members of the five Chicago radical women’s groups met on Saturday, May 18, 1968, to hold a citywide conference. The main purposes of the conference were to create and strengthen ties among groups and individuals, to generate a heightened sense of common history and purpose, and to provoke imaginative pro- grammatic ideas and plans. In other words, the conference was an early step in the process of movement building. —Voice of Women’s Liberation Movement, June 19681 EvEry account of thE rE-EmErgEncE of feminism in the United States in the late twentieth century notes the ferment that took place in 1967 and 1968. The five groups meeting in Chicago in May 1968 had, for instance, flowered from what had been a single Chicago group just a year before. By the time of the conference in 1968, activists who used the term “women’s liberation” understood themselves to be building a movement. Embedded in national networks of student, civil rights, and antiwar movements, these activists were aware that sister women’s liber- ation groups were rapidly forming across the country.

Alongwith his top deputy prosecutorandexperienceddetectives, District Attorney Castor thoroughly investigated Constand’s claim. In evaluating the likelihood of a successful prosecution of Cosby, the district attorney foresaw difficulties with Constand’s credibility as a witness based, in part, upon her decision not to file a complaint promptly. D.A. Castor further determined that a prosecution would be frustrated because there was no corroboratingforensic evidence and because testimony from other potential claimants against Cosby likely was inadmissible under governing laws of evidence. The collective weight of these considerations led D.A. Castor to conclude that, unless Cosby confessed, “there was insufficient credible and admissible evidence upon which any charge against Mr. Cosby related to the Constand incident could
