Unfurl ‘neath the skies! Whose broad stripes and bright stars, Thro’ the perilous fight Chorus: O’er the ramparts we watched, La Salle, La Salle, thy glory, Were so gallantly streaming. Thy triumphs we praise! And the rockets’ red glare, Thy name in song forever The bombs bursting in air, Shall we proudly raise! Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there. Thy sons and daughters standing Oh, say, does that star-spangled Await thy command, Banner yet wave Thou fortress of faith O’er the land of the free In our God and our land! And the home of the brave? Chorus: — Francis Scott Key La Salle, La Salle, thy glory, Thy triumphs we praise! Thy name in song forever Shall we proudly raise! — Daniel J.

THE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIFTH COMMENCEMENT Sunday, Ma) 17, L998 eleven o'clock in the morning McCarthy m \im \i NOTES ON ACADEMIC DRESS* The history of academic dress begins in the early days of the oldest universities. A statute of 1 321 required all "Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors" of the University of Coimbra to wear gowns. In England during the second half of the 14th century, the statutes of certain colleges forbade "excess in apparel" and prescribed the wearing of a long gown. It is still a question whether academic dress finds its sources chiefly in ecclesiastical or in civilian dress. Gowns may have been considered necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings used by medieval scholars. Hoods may have served to cover the tonsured head until superseded for that purpose by the skull cap. The cap was later displaced by a headdress similar to ones now recognized as "academic." European institutions continue to show great diversity in their specifications of academic dress.
