Commencement Mission Statement Commencement at Washington State University represents the culmination of a student’s academic achievement. It is a time for celebration and reflection for students, families, faculty, and staff. It brings together the campus community to share the joy of the accomplished goals of our students.

The commencement ceremony at Washington State University serves a dual purpose: to mark a point of achievement, thus completing a chapter in the lives of students and those who support them, and to encourage continued pursuit of learning, personal fulfillment, and engagement with their local and worldwide communities.

THE UNIVERSITY MACE The University Mace, a traditional symbol of authority, will lead the faculty march today . The mace is carried by the chair of the Faculty Senate with an honor guard consisting of the presidents of the undergraduate and graduate and professional student associations . William Cofer carries it today, accompanied by Brandon Scheller, president of the Associated Students of WSU, and Jessica Moore, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Association of WSU . Created in 1985, the two-foot-long, nine-pound scepter is cast in silver and bronze and features a globe atop a laurel branch, wrapped in a silver ribbon and inscribed “Washington State University ”. According to designer and craftsman Tim Doebler of WSU’s Department of Fine Arts, “the globe represents the universality of education and the quest for knowledge . Laurel crowns were presented to academicians by the ancient Greeks .” The anvil is a symbol of forging and molding education, rather than forcing it upon students .

The Star Spangled Banner was ordered played at military and naval occasions by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916, but was not designated the national anthem by an Act of Congress until 1931. The words were written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key, who had been inspired by the sight of the American flag still flying over Fort McHenry after a night of heavy British bombardment. The text was immediately set to a popular melody of the time. At almost every occasion, only the first verse is sung.

The Star Spangled Banner Oh, say can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam, In full glory reflected now shines on the stream: ‘Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep’s pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, for our case it is just, And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.” And the star-spangled banner forever shall wave

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave! 125378 12/08 Colleges of Business and Education College of Liberal Arts N A RESERVED DISABILITY commencement 34 33 32 31 30 B 36 28
