When American colleges and universities desired to adopt some suitable system of academic apparel many years ago, a conference held at Columbia University in 1895, made up of representatives from various institutions, drew up a “By-Law Regulation, or Statute” for the establishment of a suitable code of academic dress for colleges and universities in the United States. This code, with modifications made in 1959, is still in force; the costumes and colors, trimmings, and patterns you will see are all traditional and interpret both degree and the field of learning. The bachelor’s gown, designed to be worn closed, has pointed sleeves; the master’s gown, which may be worn open or closed, has an oblong sleeve open at the wrist which hangs down in traditional manner. The rear part of its oblong shape is square cut and the front part has the arc cut away. The doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves. It may be worn open or closed. Bachelor’s and master’s gowns are untrimmed. Doctor’s gowns are faced with black velvet with three bars across the sleeves; or Motto the color of velvet may be that which is distinctive of the degree, agreeing with that of the edging of the hood. The colors you will “Driven by Tradition, We Forge Ahead” see in the hoods and gowns of our faculty represent the various fields in which the degrees were taken. A few are:

Accountancy, Commerce, Business...... Drab (Yellow-Brown) Agriculture...... Maize (Pale Yellow) Architecture...... Blue-Violet (Purple) Arts, Letters, Humanities...... White Economics...... Copper Education...... Light Blue Class of 2012 Officers Engineering...... Orange Natural Resources...... Russet (Rust) President...... Sandy D. Bass, Jr. Philosophy...... Dark Blue Vice President...... Marco Leung Veterinary Medicine...... Gray Science...... Bright Gold Secretary...... Michelle J. Baca (Golden Yellow) Treasurer...... Brett C. Henson The hoods, differing in length for the three degrees, Historian...... Nina Riza Sabarre (bachelor’s, master’s, and doctor’s) are lined with the official colors of the university or college conferring the degree, usually Cadet Member-At-Large...... Christine Jane Barry with one color forming a chevron pattern over the other (for Female Member-At-Large.... Amanda Jade Eberhardt example, orange and maroon for Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University). Hoods are edged and bound with velvet Male Member-At-Large...... Matthew A. Jernigan of the color appropriate for the degree. You will see in our procession many edged with dark blue, for doctor of philosophy. Mortarboards are the approved headgear. The tassel, worn on the left side of the cap, may be of gold if the holder has a doctor’s degree. Among the bachelor’s candidates, honor students are distinguished by special sashes in white.

Edward F. D. Spencer

Edward F. D. Spencer, Vice President for Student Affairs, will retire from Virginia Tech next year after what will be a 42-year career in student affairs. In his current position, he oversees the 15 departments in the division of student Affairs (including housing, dining, counseling, health services, student centers and activities, fraternity and sorority life, recreational sports, and the Corps of Cadets), and directs more than 2,600 faculty, staff, and student employees. Among his significant accomplishments are the transformation of the dining program into one of the nation’s top programs, the addition of multiple residence halls and the Oak Lane Greek community, the introduction of coeducational housing and living/learning communities, the establishment of offices for Fraternity & Sorority Life and for Student Conduct, expansion of the Cook Counseling Center, and creation of the popular “The VP is In” program. Students are fond of calling him “The Students’ Vice President.” Dr. Spencer’s numerous awards include the Pillar of the Profession and the Dissertation of the Year awards from the national Association of student Personnel Administrators; the student Government Association’s first Zenobia Lawrence Hikes Leadership Award; and Most Outstanding Faculty Advisor, Most Outstanding Chapter Advisor, the Order of Constantine, and the Significant Sig Award from the Sigma Chi International Fraternity. Additionally, the Spencer Award, given annually to Virginia Tech’s Fraternity Advisor of the Year, is named in his honor. He received a B.A. in psychology from the University of Rochester, an M.A. in student personnel administration from Syracuse University, and both an M.A. and Ph.D. in social psychology from the University of Delaware. He began his professional career at the University of Delaware in 1970, and then came to Virginia Tech in 1983 as Director of Housing and Residence Life. He became Director of Residential and Dining Programs in 1989, and steadily rose through the ranks to become Vice President in 2008. He also serves as an Associate Professor in the Higher Education Administration program.

4 GRADUATE Commencement Speaker

Jaan Holt

Jaan Holt is the Patrick and Nancy Lathrop Professor of Architecture, and for the past 27 years, he has been director of Virginia Tech’s Washington-Alexandria Architecture Center. He joined the faculty of the College of Architecture and Urban Studies (CAUS) in 1972 and was chair of the Department of Architecture from 1976 to 1982. In 1984, Mr. Holt played a major role in establishing Virginia Tech’s Washington-Alexandria Architec- ture Center, which is internationally recognized for its undergraduate and graduate program offerings in architecture, landscape architecture, and architecture and design research. He helped develop the center into the only consortium of architecture studies in the country, with more than 20 domestic and international universities as partners. For his many contributions, Mr. Holt has received the CAUS Outreach Award, the Excellence in Teaching Award, a special award from the Virginia Society of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), and an Allied Professional Award from the Northern Virginia Chapter of the AIA. In 2010, the City of Alexandria, Virginia awarded him its Park and Recreation Civic Award for his on-going guidance and mentorship to generations of students and professionals who -- by using Alexandria as a learning and professional practice laboratory -- have contributed to the preservation, design, and construction of the city’s urban fabric. Throughout his career, he has led many design competitions including the Women in Military Ser- vice for America Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery and most recently the design competition for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Mr. Holt received his bachelor’s degree in architecture from Virginia Tech and his master of archi- tecture degree from the University of Pennsylvania.

The tradition began in the 1911-1912 school session. With the 2011 ring, the Ring Tradition celebrates 100 years. Since the beginning, each Virginia Tech class has designed a ring distinctive and unique to its class. Today, Virginia Tech is one of only a few colleges and universities that redesigns its ring collection each year. Each year, the sophomore class selects a Ring Design Committee responsible for designing and marketing their class ring collection, adding elements that reflect their class experiences on the class side. All ring designs have an eagle and crossed sabers, usually found on the university side and symbolizing the military heritage and traditions of the Corps of Cadets. The chain links that have encircled the ring bezel on Virginia Tech rings since 1940 represent class unity, the strength of many united as one. Beginning in 1991, each class began naming their collection in honor of an outstanding Virginia Tech personality. During each class’s junior year, the collection is unveiled in the fall at the annual Ring Premiere. Rings ordered in fall are delivered the week of Ring Dance, held in the spring of the class’s junior year.

Ring Dance The first Ring Dance was held on April 27, 1934, where the saber arch, ring figure and presentation of the ring by the junior’s date were introduced. The Virginia Tech Ring Dance symbolizes a hallmark in a Virginia Tech student’s career. The university president presides over the official ring presentation. The Corps of Cadets juniors enter the ballroom and form the ring figure in the shape of the class numerals. They are then joined with their dates who are escorted by freshmen corps members. As rings are presented, “Moonlight and V.P.I.,” written in 1942 specifically for the Ring Dance by composer Fred Waring and lyricist Charles Gaynor, is performed. As the clock strikes midnight, the evening ends with an elaborate fireworks display on the Drillfield and the playing of “Silver Taps.” Turning of the Ring For many years, it has been tradition for a current student to wear his/her class ring so that the name Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University faces the wearer. Upon graduation, the ring is turned to face out to let the world know the wearer is a Hokie alumnus/a. Those who wear the ring proudly state to others, “I am a Hokie, a Virginia Tech graduate who understands the meaning of Ut Prosim (That I May Serve).” For more information or inquiries about the ring, contact the Virginia Tech Alumni Association at www.alumni.vt.edu/classrings/or 540/231-6285. Alma Mater

Sing praise to Alma Mater dear, For V.P.I. we’ll ever cheer; Come lift your voices, swell the song, Our loyalties to her belong.

Chorus So stand and sing all hail to thee. VT, all hail to thee.

The Orange and Maroon you see, That’s fighting on to victory; Our strife will not be long this day, For our glory lies within this fray.

All loyal sons and daughters, one, We raise our banner to the sun; Our motto brings a spirit true, That we may ever serve for you.
