UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE VIRTUAL GRADUATION CEREMONY

December 12, 2020

A Brief History of the University of Louisville The University of Louisville traces its roots to 1798 when the Jefferson Seminary was established. During the early 19th century, the growing importance of river navigation, coupled with a strategic location at the falls of the Ohio River, made Louisville a commercial hub for the South and West. As the city’s population and economy grew, so did the demand for higher education. In 1837, the Louisville Medical Institute opened for its first class, and the next year the city created the Louisville Collegiate Institute. In 1846, the General Assembly merged the Medical and Collegiate Institutes as the University of Louisville. The Assembly created a common board of trustees, but each division retained financial autonomy. The Medical School prospered and a newly added School of Law brought in a number of students. By the 1880s and 1890s however, the University felt some pressure from education reformers who not only believed schools should employ full-time instructors, but also advocated well-enforced, national standards for academic training. In 1907, this trend contributed to the revival of the College of Arts and Sciences. Over the next three decades, the University added new programs - the Graduate School (1915), the School of Dentistry (1916), the Speed Scientific School (1928), the Louisville Municipal College (1931), the School of Music (1932), and the Kent School of Social Work (1936). World War II and the postwar era brought major changes to the University of Louisville. Shortly after the war, the movement began to close the all black Louisville Municipal College and desegregate the University on all levels. This was accomplished in 1950 and 1951. The School of Business was established in 1953. In 1965, a governor’s task force suggested the possibility of the University’s joining the state system of higher education, which it did five years later. Since 1968 the University has added several new academic units including the School of Education (1968), the School of Nursing (1979), the School of Allied Health Sciences (1996-2002) and the School of Public Health and Information Sciences (2002). For an institution over two hundred years old, the University of Louisville shows no signs of its age nor any signs of letting up. It is prospering now more than ever. As ’s second largest university, UofL has become a leader in addressing the needs of Kentucky’s and the nation’s metropolitan areas. Its focus on research, as well as its commitment to students, alumni and the community, are keys to this success. The University of Louisville looks forward to great and lasting accomplishments in its third century of providing higher education.

School of Public Health and Information Sciences 43 Commencement Symbols and Traditions University commencement ceremonies are important symbols of the continuity of university education and the traditions that underlie this education. Participants will notice at least three unique qualities to the University’s commencement—the mace, the regalia, and the processionals. The Mace The mace has an ancient history as a symbol of authority. Originally it was a weapon of offense, made of iron and capable of breaking armor. It was a giant club which came to be associated with brave men who fought to protect the king’s person. Maces were borne by sergeants-at-arms to protect Phillip II of France and Richard I of England. The use of maces for civic purposes began about the middle of the thirteenth century. By the sixteenth century they were covered with silver and used by several cities. In 1649, the House of Commons obtained a mace and in 1756, a silver mace was made for the Colony of South Carolina, which is still used in the state capitol of Columbia. As a symbol of authority, the mace usually has arms engraved on or near the top and these or a cross may be protected by a coronet or arched crown. In commencement processions, the mace is carried in before the president or chancellor and the dignitaries composing the platform party. Along with historic and colorful costumes, flags, and regalia of office, it stands for order and authority. In the fall of 1966, the University of Louisville commissioned John Prangnell, sculptor and assistant professor of Fine Arts, to prepare a university mace. Prangnell’s approach was to avoid the standard format used for such maces and to develop an instrument to convey the University’s involvement with the future. The result is a gold-plated mace, the head of which maintains free-flowing upswept lines with a number of indentations and inserts, one of them cherry wood, to symbolize the uncertainties and the hidden beauties of the future and higher education’s part in it. The mace is therefore a piece of modern symbolic art rather than a replica of standard medieval forms. The mace was accepted by the UofL Board of Trustees on June 11, 1967.

The Academic Regalia The tradition of gowns and hoods being worn as academic regalia at graduation ceremonies stems from a distinctive style of academic dress that emerged in the first universities in Europe in the twelfth century. The style was influenced by the fact that masters and scholars at that time were usually members of the clergy. For example, in 1222 at the Council of Oxford, the Archbishop of Canterbury ordered English clerics to wear the cappa clausa - a closed, flowing gown based on a lay fashion of the period. As a result, this garment came to be regarded as academic dress for university masters who, as clerics, wore it. Later, when the clergy neglected the rule in general, the garment was recognized as an exclusively academic one. The pileus, a common headdress of medieval laymen, was adopted by the Church at the Synod of Bergamo (1311) and became typical headwear at the universities. The caps and tams worn by faculty are a direct descendant of the pileus. The pileus quadralus, or square cap, is today’s mortarboard worn by most graduates. The hood as an academic vestment originated from the cowl worn by monks in the Middle Ages as protection against inclement European weather. It was worn over a short cape known as a tippet, and had a tail, known as a liripipe, which was used to pull the hood over the head and wrapped around the throat to keep the hood in place. Today the tippet remains as part of the hood and, although the hood is never worn on the head, the liripipe is retained as the funnel-shaped hood. The tradition of wearing the hood hanging down the back is said to be derived from the practice of medieval monks, many of whom were solicitors in the King’s Court, who used the bag-like hanging hood as a “contribution bowl” for clients and well wishers. Early scholars used the hood to collect the fees for lectures. Colors have long been significant in denoting different academic disciplines and, more recently, levels of scholastic achievement. Standard gowns of different shape, length and sleeve design indicate the degrees of Bachelor, Master and Doctorate. The robes of the President, Provost, Chair of the Board of Trustees, and Grand Marshal represent the office, not the degree.
