If you placed your order online (fordham.edu/capandgown) before the Friday, March 11, deadline, your cap and gown will be available at the Graduate Salute events listed below, but only at the campus selected while ordering. Be sure to bring your receipt or email confirmation along with your student ID card. When picking up your cap and gown, don’t forget to pick up your announcements and update your contact information with Alumni Relations. At the Rose Hill Graduate Salutes, Senior Week tickets will also be available for pickup. Additionally, Rose Hill students may schedule their senior portraits during this time. Please keep in mind that your student account must be paid in full or appropriate arrangements made before picking up your cap and gown. Also, you must have applied to graduate online through my.fordham.edu or have the permission of your dean. If you did not preorder your gown online, you may still attend the Graduate Salutes at Lincoln Center and Rose Hill and receive a cap and gown on a first-come, first-served basis. (Extras will not be available at the Westchester distributions.) Bachelor’s candidates are given keeper gowns and therefore do not return academic attire. Graduate Salutes Late Distribution Times Lincoln Center Graduate Salutes If caps and gowns are not picked up in Lowenstein, Second-Floor Lounge April, they must be picked up at the Rose (FCLC students begin in the Third-Floor Lounge) Hill campus on the following dates and Wednesday, April 13 | 5 – 7 p.m. times. A $10 late fee (cash only) will be Thursday, April 14 | 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. charged to all who pick up academic attire in May.

We ask for graduates’ cooperation in not modifying academic attire with personal items that may distract from the academic ritual. The cut of the gown identifies the degree. The bachelor’s gown has pointed sleeves, while the master’s gown has oblong-cut sleeves. The doctoral gown has bell-shaped sleeves typically crossed with bands of velvet. The length of the hood indicates the level of the degree. The color of the velvet border indicates the field of learning in which the degree was earned and includes white for arts, gold for science, and brown for fine arts. The inner lining of Fordham hoods is maroon, the University’s official color. For the academic procession, graduates carry the hood draped over the left arm with the color that represents the degree clearly visible. Candidates don their hoods after the president has conferred all degrees. The hood should be placed around your neck and shoulders so that the major portion hangs down the back and the velvet is up. The cord in the front of the hood should be fastened to your clothing. The bachelor’s cap is worn with the long point of the shell to the rear and the traditional black tassel to the left. Caps and gowns may also be worn at the Rose Hill Baccalaureate Mass on Friday, as well as to Encaenia and the Gabelli School of Business Awards Night on Thursday. For any questions regarding academic attire, contact Steve Clarke from Herff Jones Inc. at [email protected] or 516-223-2572. fordham.edu/commencement 3 University Commencement Each candidate who has fulfilled the requirements for a degree is encouraged to participate in the University Commencement. Please note that degree recipients are required to wear academic attire. Tickets are not required for admission to the Rose Hill campus or to the University Commencement ceremony on Edwards Parade on Saturday, May 21. Assembly of Candidates All graduates must be at the appropriate line-up site near Keating, Spellman, Tierney, and O’Hare Halls no later than 9:30 a.m. with their caps and gowns.

At that point, please proceed under your faculty marshal’s direction. As the oldest of Fordham’s schools, Fordham College at Rose Hill leads the procession. Fordham College at Lincoln Center graduates, when you arrive at the line-up area between O’Hare and Tierney Halls, check in and pick up your calling card prior to the start of the academic procession.

Introduction During the academic year 2009/10, 18,755 students in the United Kingdom completed a doctoral degree after either full- or part-time study.1 The vast majority of these doctorates were obtained by young researchers immediately after the completion of a first degree or master’s programme, and were undertaken in many cases as an entry qualification into the academic profession. Indeed, the PhD today is the sine qua non for embarkation upon an academic career, yet within the United Kingdom the degree itself and the concept of professionalized academia are less than a hundred years old. The Doctorate of Philosophy was first awarded in Oxford in 1920, having been established by statute at that university in 1917.

    Olympic Torch At Fordham by Virginia Keating magine the 1984 Olympic Torch being carried across the Rose Hill campus by a Fordham student dressed in an of >i- cial Olympic uniform. Not only is it quite possible, but the student could be you. Beginning on May 8, in New IYork, Americans from all walks of life will carry the torch over 19,000 kilometers (12,000 miles) through every state in the nation. The "drama" concludes when the torch arrives at the Los Angeles Coliseum on July 28, opening the 1984 Olympic competition. "If we can raise $3,000 by April 10, we're assured that the 1984 Olympic Torch can come on campus on Tuesday, May 8," said Assistant Dean for Campus Affairs Michael Sullivan, who met with Jackie Kiviat, community relation's manager for AT&T, sponsors of the torch relay, "The Olympic Organization Committee is selling kilometers along the run to Los Angeles as a means of fun- draising for Olympic Development," said Kiviat. "Any person or organization who donates $3,000 qualifies. 1 think that it would be exciting for all of the Fordham campus." According to Sullivan, the Fordham track team will be in the McGinley Center from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on April 10, so that students can sign up to participate in a torch trial run on Thursday, April 26. Students who register for the trial run are asked to pay an entrance fee of $2 which will help to raise $3,000 needed in order for the event to occur on campus.

Downloaded from Brill.com10/02/2021 10:24:12PM via free access Ekaterina Kovalchuk Leuven, Belgium [email protected] THE HOLY SEPULCHRE OF JERUSALEM AND ST SOPHIA OF CONSTANTINOPLE: AN ATTEMPT AT DISCOVERING A HAGIOGRAPHIC EXPRESSION OF THE BYZANTINE ENCAENIA FEAST Constantine the Great and the Foundation of the Holy Sepulchre For a student of Late Antiquity and Byzantine civilization, Con- stantine the Great is known, fi rst and foremost, as the ruler who intro- duced Christianity as an offi cial religion of the Roman Empire. Apart from that, his name is fi rmly associated with the foundation of the eponymous city of Constantinople, which was to become a centre of the Eastern Christian civilization. A closer look at the contemporary sources, however, suggests that the fi rst Christian Emperor did not give the newly-founded city of Constantinople priority in his policies and building projects. During his reign, Constantine the Great dis- played extraordinary interest in Jerusalem, leaving Constantinople rather overshadowed. One may puzzle why Eusebius, who is the main contemporary source for the reign of Constantine the Great, gave but cursory treatment to the foundation and dedication of Constantinople while dwelling upon the subject of Palestinian church-building — and especially the foundation and dedication of the Holy Sepulchre church in Jerusalem1 — so exten- (1) The Holy Sepulchre is a later name for the complex erected by Con- stantine at the allegedly historical places of Golgotha and the tomb where Christ was buried.

  • “Make This the Place Where Your Glory Dwells”: Origins
    “MAKE THIS THE PLACE WHERE YOUR GLORY DWELLS”: ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION OF THE BYZANTINE RITE FOR THE CONSECRATION OF A CHURCH A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Vitalijs Permjakovs ____________________________ Maxwell E. Johnson, Director Graduate Program in Theology Notre Dame, Indiana April 2012 © Copyright 2012 Vitalijs Permjakovs All rights reserved “MAKE THIS THE PLACE WHERE YOUR GLORY DWELLS”: ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION OF THE BYZANTINE RITE FOR THE CONSECRATION OF A CHURCH Abstract by Vitalijs Permjakovs The Byzantine ritual for dedication of churches, as it appears in its earliest complete text, the eighth-century euchologion Barberini gr. 336, as well as in the textus receptus of the rite, represents a unique collection of scriptural and euchological texts, together with the ritual actions, intended to set aside the physical space of a public building for liturgical use. The Byzantine rite, in its shape already largely present in Barberini gr. 336, actually comprises three major liturgical elements: 1) consecration of the altar; 2) consecration of the church building; 3) deposition of relics. Our earliest Byzantine liturgical text clearly conceives of the consecration of the altar and the deposition of the relics/“renovation” (encaenia) as two distinct rites, not merely elements of a single ritual. This feature of the Barberini text raises an important question, namely, which of these major elements did in fact constitute the act of dedicating/ consecrating the church, and what role did the deposition of relics have in the ceremonies of dedication in the early period of Byzantine liturgical history, considering that the deposition of relics Vitalijs Permjakovs became a mandatory element of the dedication rite only after the provisions to that effect were made at the Second council of Nicaea in 787 CE.

Transactions of the Burgon Society, 9 (2009), pages 183–199 Many Coloured Coats: The Systems of Academical Dress in Nova Scotian Universities by John N. Grant This paper briefly examines the initial migration to North America of academical costume, describes three of the conventions of academical garb that exist in Canada (adapted re- spectively from Britain, the United States, and France) and provides a glance at the ancient tradition as it developed and changed in three Nova Scotian institutions. The full pageantry of the university is on display at the convocation ceremonies that mark the completion of its degree programmes. Scores or even hundreds of grad- uands, similarly clad in black gowns, hoods of various descriptions and, at some institutions, mortar-boards, file into their place in quarters adapted to the solemnity and celebration of the occasion. They are followed in procession by the faculty, whose gowns, hoods, and headwear are usually much more elaborate and colour- ful, reflecting the institutions at which they studied and, generally, the discipline of their doctoral degree.

Grant The eleven degree-granting institutions in Nova Scotia represent a variety of sys- tems and traditions of academical costume. By 1807, the University of King’s Col- lege (1789), the oldest university in Nova Scotia, borrowed the academical dress of Oxford University,1 while l’Université Sainte-Anne, where the use of cap, toge, and épitoge is comparatively recent, is in the tradition of French and Quebec-based institutions.2 Several schools, including St Mary’s University, St Francis Xavier University, Mount St Vincent University, and the Nova Scotia Agricultural College, follow the rules of the Intercollegiate Code of Academic Costume as developed in the United States in the 1890s.3 Other schools follow the ‘Canadian tradition’ of academical dress that Humphries describes.4 It could be argued, however, that this was, and is, in fact, a trans-Atlantic mi- gration of the British academical tradition.
