6 History of Academic Regalia Distinguished Service Award The pageantry of the academic procession is used for many of the formal and significant events at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
Inherited from the medieval universities of the 11th and 12th centuries when woolen gowns and hoods were worn by scholars for warmth in unheated quarters, the wearing of academic vestments and the procession were not adopted throughout the United States until the late 19th century.
Academic life in the Middle Ages began first in the Church, then in the guilds. The teaching guild was the guild of the Master of Arts, where the Bachelor was the apprentice of the Master and the dress was the outward sign of privilege and responsibility, designed to distinguish the wearer from the merchants and other townsmen.
Principal features of academic dress are the gown, cap, and hood. Both Cambridge and Oxford Universities, since the 15th century, have made academic dress a matter of university control, even to its minor details, and have repeatedly published revised regulations. American universities agreed on a definite system in 1894. In 1932, the American Council on Education presented a revised code which, for the most part, governs the style of academic dress today.
The cap worn almost universally in academic processions is the Oxford cap, better known as the mortarboard. From poetry we learn that the cap of scholarship was square to symbolize a book. A different style, called the Cambridge cap, resembles a large beret.
The use of a dark hood in academic processions is thought to have arisen from the clerical practice of wearing a cap or mantle in religious processions during the 12th and 13th centuries, when universities arose from cathedral schools. Traditionally, gowns are also black. In recent years, however, a number of universities have adopted other hues which signify the school’s traditional colors, such as crimson for Harvard, blue for Yale, purple for Northwestern, orange “hash marks” for Princeton, maize with azure blue chevron for the University of Michigan, maroon for the University of Chicago, and cardinal and gold for the University of Southern California. The bachelor’s gown is a yoked, closed‑front garment with long, pointed sleeves. The master’s has long, closed sleeves slit just above the elbow, permitting the forearms to protrude. The doctor’s has full, bell‑shaped sleeves and is trimmed with velvet panels down the front, and three velvet bars on each sleeve. The color of the panels and sleeves varies to indicate the doctoral field.
The academic hoods, worn around the neck and down the back of the gown, are lined with the official colors of the college or university conferring the degree. The binding or edging of the hood usually represents the subject of the degree as follows:
Art, Letters, Humanities ‑ White Music ‑ Pink Business, Accountancy, Commerce - Drab Nursing ‑ Apricot Criminal Justice Studies - Cream Pharmacy - Olive Green Dental Medicine ‑ Lavender Philosophy ‑ Dark Blue Economics ‑ Copper Physical Education ‑ Sage Green Education ‑ Light Blue Public Administration - Peacock Blue Engineering ‑ Orange Science ‑ Golden Yellow Fine Arts ‑ Brown Social Science ‑ Cream Journalism - Crimson Social Work ‑ Citron Law ‑ Purple Speech Communication - Silver Gray Library Science ‑ Lemon Theology ‑ Scarlet Medicine ‑ Green
7 Banners In the academic procession, each college and school within the University is represented by a commencement banner displaying its appropriate colors. The heraldic symbolism employed in the banners is broadly representative of the academic departments or disciplines within the college or school. For example, the banner for the College of Arts and Sciences displays a triangle with the colors white, brown, yellow, and cream to represent the humanities, fine arts, sciences, and social sciences, respectively. The triangle symbolizes the classic trivium of rhetoric, logic, and grammar.
SIUE’s commencement banners were designed originally by William Van Nimwigen, a graphic designer with the Chicago Public Library System. The current banners were designed by the University’s Marketing and Communications department.
Mace The SIUE Ceremonial Mace was created in 1981 by Michael E. Mason, retiree and former curator of The University Museum, who holds both a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Fine Arts from this institution. At that time, the President of SIUE (the position now called Chancellor) Earl Lazerson decided that we needed traditional, formal regalia to use on significant ceremonial occasions. In 2005 Chancellor Vaughn Vandegrift restored the tradition of the Mace at all Commencement and other academic ceremonies. A stand was subsequently constructed and, in recognition of the values of the University, engraved brass plaques were added to the Ceremonial Mace with the words Citizenship, Excellence, Integrity, Openness, and Wisdom.
Granting of Degrees Candidates for degrees listed in this Commencement program are those who completed degree requirements in Spring 2010 or who, at the time of publication, were reasonably certain of completing degree requirements. Inclusion in this publication may not be construed as documentation of completion of degree requirements. Certification of the conferral of a degree is by receipt of a diploma or official transcript noting degree completion.

29 To Our Guests
Commencement is the premier academic ceremony. This formal conferral of degrees marks the graduates’ mastery of SIUE curricula – undergraduate, graduate, and professional. At its best, it is an occasion of dignity, recognition, and celebration. To preserve the decorum of the event, please exercise etiquette appropriate for the occasion, and express your excitement in ways that will not prevent others from hearing the speakers and enjoying the ceremony. The University requests that all photographs be taken from your seat or following the ceremony.
For your convenience, we have made arrangements with Grad Trak Graduation Images™ for a professional photographer to record the moment graduates receive their diploma covers. Students receive, by mail, a passport‑sized, full‑color image approximately one week after the ceremony. There is no obligation to purchase, and students will have the option of ordering several enlargement packages via web site, phone, facsimile, or mail. This service enables each student to have a photograph of the ceremony. Family members and friends are requested to remain in their seats and enjoy the ceremony. Professional photographs are available for all students. Chappell Graduation Images™ guarantees complete satisfaction with the photographs or a full refund will be given with no questions asked. The transaction is between the student and the photographer; Southern Illinois University Edwardsville will not be involved.
In keeping with the occasion, we ask that all guests be seated when the processional begins. After the ceremony has been completed, there will be a recessional of the platform party. Please remain in your seats until the platform party has cleared the Commencement area.
30 Acknowledgements Many individuals and departments share in the planning and execution of Commencement. Their cooperation and hard work are invaluable and we are extremely grateful for their assistance.
