FACULTY AvVARDS CAP AND GOWN DAY CONVOCATION l\IAY 14, 1970 Traditionally, the Cap and Gown Day Convocation gives fitting recognition to outstanding students. It is equally fitting that the University of Minnesota give special recognition to faculty members who are in so many ways respon sible for the achievements of these students. This year, six faculty members have been selected, upon the recommendation of the All-University Council on Liberal Education, to receive Standard Oil (Indiana) Foundation-Horace T. Morse Awards in recognition of their outstanding contributions to undergradu ate education. Each will receive a University citation and a $1,000 grant provided by the Standard Oil (Indiana) Foundation. They are: ROBERT C. BRASTED DAVID 0. KIEFT Professor of Chemistry Assistant Professor of History ROBERT J. F ALK THOMAS H. W ALZ Instructor in Psychology Director of University of Minnesota, Duluth the Living-Learning Center CLIFTON W. GRAY VAL W. WOODWARD Associate Professor of Psychology Professor of Genetics University of Minnesota, Morris and Cell Biology \Ve of the University, as we recognize the generous contributions of these six educators to the richness of academic achievement, are grateful for the oppor tunity to signalize the continuing interest of the Standard Oil (Indiana) Founda tion in the quality of teaching the Awards represent. We are proud, too, to keep alive in the Awards' title the memory of Horace T. Morse, Dean of the General College from 1946 to 1966, whose imaginative dedication to the improvement of teaching has left an indelible impression on the quality of undergraduate education at the University. THE CAP AND GOWN TRADITION Caps and gowns are a tradition at the University of Minnesota as at most universities. But twenty Commencements passed, after the first class of two graduated in 1873, before caps and gowns were introduced. The "new tradition" was not always popular. In 1907 the men in law, medicine, and engineering refused to wear the gowns because they considered them effeminate. But the rebellion proved to be a losing cause. The 1903 graduating class set aside a day during Commencement Week to be known as "Ivy Day." The black-garbed procession began at the Armory on University Avenue and ended at Old Main, the first building on campus. (Old Main was destroyed by fire in 1904, and Shevlin Hall now stands on its site.) The seniors, after planting ivy near Old Main, decided to "leave the spade used on this occasion to be used by succeeding classes. Each class is to carve its numerals upon the handle." The spade long ago disappeared. The class of 1906, celebrating its Class Day by a "gown procession around campus," planted an oak instead of ivy. It met on the Knoll to sing its class song and other songs and to relive its college experiences. In 1907 the gowned procession ended with speeches and farewell addresses, and in 1911 President Cyrus Northrop agreed to wear his doctor's gown and march with the seniors in the "cap and gown parade." The Cap and Gown Day convocation as we know it now began to take shape in 1912. The seniors marched in procession to the Armory (Northrop Memorial Auditorium was built in 1928) where deans and faculty members, in academic dress, waited on the plat form. President George E. Vincent's speech on the history and significance of academic costume reflected the tone of Cap and Gown Day- academic dress is a symbol recogniz ing learning and achievement. This was the year the special day for seniors was given its present title. In 1913 the event became an honors convocation, with the announcement of senior honors and names of new members of the senior honor societies. Cap and Gown Day today recognizes all University honor students, freshman to graduate. 1 BOARD OF REGENTS THE HONORABLE LESTER A. MALKERSON. .. ...... .... ... .... .. ..
