• Commissioned Second Liellfenanl. U.S Armh ROTC Program Alumni Charge by Joseph Ravalese, Jr. President of the Bryant Alumni Association

You leave the Bryant campus today after challenging but swift years as students. You can remain a Bryant alumnus or alumna as long as you wish and wherever you are. The "charge" of the Alumni Association to you today is really an "invitation" into the broader and extended Bryant family. We welcome your own personalized loyalties to Bryant and the new energy you can bring to those of us seeking to continually advance the college's ed ucational strength and reputation. Many of us-even those from a different Bryant campus-are increasingly proud of Bryant today. You and other young alumni are one reason for that pride. The talent you have brought to the campus and the demand for your services speak well for the college we share. In a sense, we ask you not to leave Bryant, but to take it with you wherever you go. Stay in touch with the college. Let the Alumni Office know where you are. Ask local Bryant alumni for help if you need it. You have a right to make that request. And ask local Bryant alumni if you can help them build the college's visibility in your community through the volunteer efforts they undertake on behalf of admissions, career development, educational programs and fund­ raising. As Bryant grows in actual strength and reputation, it faces stronger competition with other educational institutions-for top students, the best faculty and corporate and foundation support. Through your individual accomplishments and your work with other Bryant alumni you will make the college even more competitive. We hope you will help as others have before you. Our best wishes to you, your family and friends and our warmest welcome to a proud Bryant family. Academic Heraldry The history of academic dress worn today dates back to the universities of the Middle Ages. A statute of 1321 required the wearing of gowns by all scholars and clerics. Probably the warm gown and hood were practical in the unheated buildings.

Students at most American universities wore caps and gowns daily while in residence until after the Civil War. These varied in design until they were standardized by the American Intercollegiate Commission in 1895. While the academic costume code has been modified over the years, the general characteristics of the initial requirements still prevail. The uniform system of academic heraldry serves to indicate the level of degree, the field of study in which it was earned, and the institution by which it was granted. The gown for the bachelor's degree has pointed sleeves and is designed to be worn closed. The gown for the master's degree has an oblong sleeve and can be worn open or closed. The gown for the doctor's degree has bell-shaped sleeves with black velvet facing down the front and three bars of the same across the sleeves. However, these facings and crossbars may be in the color distinctive of the subject to which the degree pertains. At Bryant College, the president and the honorary degree recipients wear gowns especially designed and trimmed in the College color of gold.

The academic hoods are lined with the color of the university granting the degree. The border of the hood is in the color of the discipline in which the degree was earned. For example. colors associated with different subjects include: light brown (or sapphire blue) for commerce, accountancy, business; copper for economics; light blue for education: peacock blue for public administration; purple for law; and white for arts, letters, humanities.

The length of the hood varies slightly for bachelor's, master's and doctor's degree. Today, the hood for those receiving bachelor's and master's degrees has been replaced by the mortar-board or cap with long tassels in black or in the color appropriate to the subject. It is often the tradition of the candidates for degrees to wear the tassel on the right front side before the degree is conferred and to shift it to the left when the degree is awarded. Harriet C. Jacobs Memorial Mace The College mace is carried at Commencement exercises and at other College celebrations. Crowned in gold, the mace has the two dominant emblems of the institution: the seal of the State of Rhode Island and the seal of Bryant College.

The Bryant seal represents the educational mission of the College and its worldwide implications. The central symbol is an ellipsoid globe with quills on each side to signify the traditional emblem of communication in business. In the center, behind the globe, is a torch symbolizing liberty, the spirit of free inquiry, academic freedom, and learning. The Archway, forming the background for the globe, torch, and quills, is a College landmark affectionately remembered by thousands of alumni. The Latin motto expresses the purpose of the College: "Educando Dirigere Mercaturam~ - Education for Business Leadership. Bryant Chairman of the Board Bruce M. Selya, Judge.
