They are followed by the candidates for the highest degrees. The banners that are carried with the candidates' procession were first used in 1977. They were designed by Bekka Lindstrom, at that time a sophomore majoring in Art. The banners were fashioned by Phillip Elliott. tudents wearing a bronze medallion are those graduating with highest honors, a distinction that • S a grade average of 3.75 (4.00 would be all A's). l requires ' The procession continues with representatives of the faculty. he President's Party forms the final section of the academic procession. Headed by the Tcommencement marshal, it includes the president, members of the Board of Regents, State of Iowa, administrative officers, the academic deans and honored guests. The commencement marshal carries the University Mace, designed and fashioned for the Centennial Commencement in 1976 by Randall Swanson, at that time a freshman majoring in Industrial Arts. A traditional symbol of authority, the mace is a carved wood rod capped with ends of cast bronze, with the top carrying the seal of the University. The sterling silver chain worn by the President was also created for the Centennial Commencement. It was designed and constructed by Martin Peterson, then a junior majoring in Art, and it memorializes the historical evolution of the University by carrying the seals of the Iowa State Normal School, the Iowa State Teachers College, the State College of Iowa, and the University of Northern Iowa. he academic costumes worn trace their origin to the Middle Ages when long-sleeved hooded Tgowns were necessary for warmth in the unheated stone colleges. Over the centuries, much diversity occurred, and to bring some order, in the United States in 1894 an intercollegiate system of academic costume was agreed on, now adhered to by American institutions. According to this code, both the styling and colors of the regalia have significance. The design of the gown indicates the degree: the bachelor's is a simple gown with a full sleeve. The master's gown is much like it except for the long sleeve which hangs loose. The doctoral gown is fuller and more elaborate. It has velvet edging and three velvet stripes on the full sleeve. The color of this velvet may be black or in the color appropriate to the degree. Hoods, which are worn over the gowns, are similar for all degrees, although differing slightly in length. The candidates for the bachelor's degrees usually do not wear the hood. The hood has a velvet edging which indicates the area of the degree, and the inside or lining of the hood is satin in the colors of the college or university granting the degree. A partial list of the degree colors to be found on the edge of the hood or the trimming on the doctor's gown is as follows: Apricot - Nursing Drab - Business Orange - Engineering Blue, dark - Philosophy Green - Medicine Pink-Music Blue, light - Education Green Sage - Physical Education Purple - Law Brown - Fine Arts Lemon - Library Science Scarlet - Theology Citron - Social Science Maize - Agriculture White - Arts and Letters Copper - Economics Maroon - Family Yellow, Golden - Science and Consumer Sciences 3 Military Science The following graduates have earned a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army.
