We hope you will find these ceremonies n a culmination of the efforts of faculty, staff, our students and their families,, both meaningful and impressive. While awaiting the start of the ceremonies, you may wish to read the historical notes on West Virginia's oldest university on the following pages. There is also a brief description and picture of The Grand Mace. The narration on academic heraldry will detail the significance of the costumes worn by the participants in today's ceremony. The exercises begin with the traditional entry procession of the candidates for degrees. The degree candidates will be followed by representatives of the faculty and administration. The platform party consisting of the Academic Deans, Honorary Degree recipients, special guests of the President and the President of the University are led to the platform by the Chief Faculty Marshal, a distinguished member of the faculty, bearing The Grand Mace. The placing of The Grand Mace on the platform signifies the solemnity of the occasion and officially denotes the opening of the ceremonies. In keeping with academic tradition, the candidates will be presented for their respective degrees in order of the level of the degree, and within degree, in the order of establishment of the School or College. This order is followed in today's program. The University requests that in keeping with the formality of the occasion, once the procession begins, please do not move onto the floor during the ceremony. When the President closes the ceremonies following the conferring of all degrees, the audience is asked to rise for the traditional singing of the Alma Mater. The audience is requested to be seated following the Alma Mater till the platform party and faculty have recessed.
