Lift up your head to the rising sun, Bahamaland; March on to glory, your bright banners waving high. See how the world marks the manner of your bearing! Pledge to excel through love and unity.
Pressing onward, march together to a common loftier goal; Steady sunward, tho' the weather hide the wide and treacherous shoal.
Lift up your head to the rising sun, Bahamaland; 'Til the road you trod lead unto your God, March on, Bahamaland!

Economist Allison Gabriella Fraser has worked with the Central Bank of The Bahamas since February 1993. At this institution she has held the positions of Statistical Officer, Research Officer and Supervisor. In these capaCities she was primarily responsible for the research and analysis of policy issues with special emphasis on the international conventiOn of Government Finance Statistics. Additionally, she supervised the administration of a 5-person unit designed specifically to record, monitor and evaluate all information and transactions relating to the National Debt of the Bahamas. Ms. Fraser currently holds the position of Senior Research Officer in the Research Department where her duties included the research and analysis of policy issues and other economic and financial matters brought before the Bank. In addition to her demanding job at the Central Bank, Ms Fraser has been a part-time lecturer with The College of The Bahamas, her alma mater, since May of 1997. Attached to the School of Business and Administrative Studies, Ms. Fraser has taught courses in Economics, Statistics and Research Techniques. Her students profit from the wealth of experience that she brings to the classroom. Ms Fraser is the Public Relations Director of the Bahamas Economics Association, a member of the Caribbean Leadership Group and a member of the Americas Program-Center for Str.negic International Studies in Washington, D.C. Ms Fraser's students also benefit from her wealth of professional training experiences. From September to October 1999, she participated in "Economic Aspects of Central Banking, Policy Techniques fo r Small Economies" sponsored by the Centre for Latin American Monetary Studies at the Bank of Jamaica in Kingston, ] amaica. In June 1997, she travelled to St. Kitts to participate in "Advanced Debt Management" sponsored jointly by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank and the Commonwealth Secretariat. She has also participated in the International Monetary Fund's IMF Institute's "International Standards and Accounting of Government Finance Statistics" in Washington, D.C. In addition to her professional training experiences, Ms Fraser has attended a variety of meetings and conferences that have helped her excel in her field. She has attended all four of the plenary sessions of the Caribbean Leadership Group. These sessions have focused on topics such as Leadership, Growth and Development in the Caribbean; Caribbean Integration, Trade and Youth Development, Democracy-Private and Public Partnerships and the most recent one on Caribbean Economic Integration in San Pedro, Belize. Cognizant of the need for continued growth and development, Ms. Fraser has continued to write and publish. Her two most recent endeavours are a paper entitled "The NIB Debate: A Policy Paper on PubLic Pension Reform" and Trends in Public Sector Debt." She is currently working on a paper entitled "Tax Incentives in The Bahamas" with the main focus on foreign investments and the macroeconomic impact of concessiOns. Ms. Fraser began her academic career at The College of The Bahamas. She graduated in May 1989 with an Associate of Arts Degree in Pure and Applied Mathematics. She then went on to Barry University in Miami, Florida where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Economics and Finance. In September 1996, she completed Part I of a Master of Science Degree in Financial Economics with the Centre of International Education in Economics at the University of London. In December 1998, she completed a Master of Arts Degree in Economic Development and Public Analysis from the University of Nottingham, Nottingham, England.

19 The Symbols of Learning
Modern academic regalia evolved from the kinds of apparel worn by monks and students in the eleventh and twelfth centuries to keep warm in medieval castles and halls in which they studied. Academic life, as we know it today, began in the Middle Ages-first in the church, then in the guilds. The teaching guild was the Guild of the Master of Arts, and the Bachelor was the apprentice of the Master. Their dress was the outward sign of structure and responsibility. Academic regalia was thus a visible manifestation-in colour, pattern, and design-that unified those of the discipline and like purpose. The principle features of academic dress are the gown, the cap, and the hood. Participants in The College of The Bahamas Academic Procession this afternoon are dressed according to the style of Academic costumes described as follows:
The Gown The gown had become symbolic of the democracy of scholarship, for it com pletely covers any dress or rank or social standing. The sleeves of the gown indicate the level of the degree held by the wearer. A long, pointed sleeve indicates the Bachelor's Degree. The Master's gown has an oblong sleeve cut in an arc, with a slit at either the upper arm or wrist. The Doctor's gown has bell-shaped sleeves and may also have velvet facing and sleeve bars or chevrons. The trimming may be black, or it may match the degree colour on the gown's edging.
The Cap The freed slave in ancient Rome won the privilege of wearing a cap, and so the academic cap is a sign of the freedom of scholarship and responsibility and dignity with which scholarship endows the wearer. Old poetry records the cap of scholarship as a square, symbolizing the book, although other authorities claim that it is a mortar board, the symbol of the masons, a privileged gui ld. The colour of the .tassel on the cap denotes the discipline. The tassels on the caps (mortarboards) worn by the faculty may be black or a colour indicating the degree. Those who hold a doctoral degree may wear a gold tassel. It is traditional for degree candidates to wear tassels on the right and for those holding degrees to wear them on the left. Graduates transfer their tassels to the left after the conferring of the degree by the President. Tassel colours worn by our graduates this evening include:
Accounting- Drab Agriculture - Maize Architecture - Blue Violet Arts- White Business Studies - Drab Education- Light Blue Economics - Copper Finance -Drab Engineering- Orange Geography - White General Studies- White Journalism- Crimson History - White Marketing- Drab Library Science - Lemon Music- Pink Mathematics - Gold Psychology - Gold Nursing- Apricot Sciences - Gold Social Studies - Citron Secretarial Studies- Drab Technology- Gold Sociology- Citron Language/Lit. - White Law/Crim. Justice - Purple Public Admin.- Peacock The Hood The hood is the prominent feature of the academic costume and is lined with the official colours of the· institution conferring the degree and edged and bound with velvet or the colour appropriate to the degree. At The College of The Bahamas, the lining of the hood is orange and yellow representing The College's colours.
The Cord The gold cord worn by candidates for the Associate's Degree identifies those graduating with distinction. The cumulative grade point average requirement for distinction is 3.51 - 4.00, effective Fall 1998. Adapted from: International Code of Academic Dress
Academic H onours Three levels of pass are awarded in each programme. Effective Fall1998: Distinction ...... CGPA 3.5 1 - 400 Credit ...... CGPA 3.00 - 3.50 Pass ...... :. CGPA 2.00 -2.99

30 The College of The Bahamas
Established by an act of Parliament in 197 4, The College of The Bahamas was created through the amalgamation of four institutions: The Bahamas Teachers' College, The San Salvador Teachers' College, The C. R. Walker Technical College and the Sixth Form Programme of Government High School. The College is the primary provider of comprehensive, tertiary-level education in The Bahamas and serves a wide and diverse population, its clientele being drawn from all levels of Bahamian society, from throughout the islands of the archipelago and from the wider Caribbean region. Today, some 400 faculty, staff and administrators offer to nearly 4,000 full-time and part-time students a variety of programmes leading to bachelor degrees, associate degrees, diplomas, and certificates.
Over its twenty-five years, dedicated faculty, staff and administrators have brought The College to such a high level of academic excellence that the institution enjoys an enviable reputation at home and abroad. Credits awarded by The College are readily accepted in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States and the West Indies. Graduates of The College occupy influential positions in the professions, business, industry, the public service and in the institution itself.
The College has grown substantially over the last fourteen years to serve Bahamians in New Providence and in several parts of the archipelago. In 1986, a northern campus was established in Freeport, Grand Bahama. In 1991, programmes in Nursing and Health Sciences administered by the Ministry of Health at Grosvenor Close in New Providence were incorporated into the institution's programme offerings. The College launched an Associate Degree Programme in Office Administration in Georgetown, Exuma in 1985. In addition to delivering instruction in traditional classroom formats at these campuses, The College's Centre for Continuing Education and Extension Services administers a variety of programmes, offering academic, technical and vocational instruction to learners residing in non-campus islands. Today, the beneficiaries of these arrangements are found in Abaco, Andros and Eleuthera. Just recently, The Centre has intensified its efforts in providing continuing educational opportunities through the offering of several international
