On this Commencement Day, new and challenging opportunities lie ahead for each of us. AB we get ready to pursue advanced degrees or begin our careers, we are eagerly focusing on the exciting future that awaits us, thanks to our Hunter education. However, although we'll be leaving Hunter and entering the next chapter of our lives, Hunter will always be part of us-and one significant way of enriching that connection is through the Legacy Gift. Every year the graduating class presents a Legacy Gift to the College that will represent the class and its achievements - and will support the Hunter students of tomorrow. This gift is also an expression of gratitude for the wonderful education we have received, and our first chance to give back to the College that has given us so much. For 147 years, Hunter has been carrying out an essential mission: providing an outstanding education to a diverse student body at an affordable price. As clear evidence of the College's success in fulfilling its mission, both US. News & World Report and Ihe Princeton Review have consistently given Hunter high marks in their annual reviews of U.S. postsecondary institutions. These rankings increase the value of your Hunter degree, and your alumni gift itself can also further support that value, because the rankings are based in part on donor participation. ' The Legacy Gift Committee asked all graduating seniors to help choose the perfect gift to leave as our special legacy, a gift that will not only symbolize our class but also benefit future students. In response, the current seniors have chosen to raise money for a lounge area where students can meet to study and socialize. This will surely benefit future classes. We hope you will add your name to the Class of 2017 Legacy Gift campaign. We suggest a donation of $20.17, but every gift is important. No gifts are too small, and our goal is 100% class participation! To contribute online, please visit https:// community.hunter.cuny.edu/legacygift. Or you can send a check, made out to The Hunter College Foundation, with "2017 Legacy Gift" in the memo line, and mailed to The Hunter College Foundation, 695 Park Avenue, Room El313, New York, NY 10065. Or, simply text "Hunter" [your first and last name] to 20222 to make an automatic donation of $10. We are immensely grateful to you for helping to make the Class of 2017 Legacy Gift campaign a success. On behalf of the Office ofAlumni Relations and the Alumni Association of Hunter College, congratulations on your graduation, and best wishes in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Legacy Gift Committee P.S. To learn more about our alumni offices please visit www.hunter.cuny.edu/main/alumni or www.alumniassociationofhuntercollege.org. 14 Academic Heraldry The caps, gowns, and hoods worn by participants in these exercises are patterned after the attire of monks in the Middle Ages. Those who have earned the bachelor's degree wear a gown with a semi-stiff yoke, long pleated front, intricate shirring across the shoulders and back and long, pointed sleeves. The holder of the master's degree wears a similar gown, but the sleeve is square and closed at the end with the wearer's forearm coming through a slit near the elbow. Those possessing the doctor's degree wear gowns having broad velvet panels down the front and three velvet bars on the full, round, open sleeves. This velvet trimming may be either black or the color of the field of learning represented by the degree. The hoods, over the shoulders and down the backs of the 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 lining of the hood, in silk, gives the color or colors of the institution granting the degree. The shortest hood is the bachelor's; the longest and the broadest is the doctor's; and the master's is midway between these in size. There is much duplication in the colors of the colleges; therefore, they will be left unidentified. However, there is a standard color for the subjects. The most common colors for subjects, including those used at Hunter College, are: Arts, Letters, Humanities ...... White Business ...... Sapphire Blue Education ...... Light Blue Engineering ...... ·...... Orange Health Sciences ...... Kelly Green Law ...... Purple Medicine ...... Green Nursing ...... •...... Apricot Pharmacy ...... Olive Philosophy ...... Dark Blue Sciences and Mathematics ...... Golden Yellow Social Sciences ...... Dark Blue Social Work ...... Citron Theology ...... Scarlet Historical Note The Mace carried by the Grand Marshall, who leads the Processional and Recessional, was presented to the College by the Alumni Association at the ceremony marking the Centennial of Hunter College in 1970. It is used each year at Commencement.
