i . Today's Ceremony

Welcome to Marshall University on this day of special recognition of our candidates for graduation. We hope you will find these ceremonies -- a culmination of the efforts of faculty, staff, our students and their families -- both meaningful and impressive.

While awaiting the start of the ceremonies, you may wish to read the historical notes on West 's oldest university on the following pages. There is also a brief description and picture of The Grand Mace. The narration on academic heraldry will detail the significance of the costumes worn by the participants in today's ceremony.

The exercises begin with the traditional entry procession of the candidates for degrees. The degree candidates will be followed by representatives of the faculty and administration. The platform party consisting of the Academic Deans, Honorary Degree recipients, special guests of the President and the President of the University are led to the platform by the Chief Faculty Marshal, a distinguished member of the faculty, bearing 1 The Grand Mace. The placing of The Grand Mace on the platform signifies the solemnity of the occasion and officially denotes the opening of the ceremonies.

In keeping with academic tradition, the candidates will be presented for their respective degrees in order of the level of the degree, and within degree, in the order of establishment of the School or College. This order is followed in today's program.

The University requests that in keeping with the formality of the occasion, once the i, /( procession begins, please do not move onto the floor during the ceremony.

When the President closes the ceremonies following the conferring of all degrees, the audience is asked to rise for the traditional singing of the Alma Mater followed by the Benediction. The audience is requested to be seated following the Benediction till the platform party and faculty have recessed.

Once again, welcome to the One-Hundred Sixtieth Commencement Exercises of Marshall University. Enjoy this day of academic celebration with the Marshall family of faculty, staff and students. Academic Procession

William Ervin Willis A native of Huntington, W.Va., William E. Willis has had a long, distinguished and successful career with the Sullivan & Cromwell law firm in . He started practicing law with the firm in 1951 and became a partner in 1959 at the age of 33. He has served as chief attorney for the National Football League (NFL). He also is an author and lecturer. · Mr. Willis is a 1948 summa cum laude graduate of Marshall College with a bachelor of arts degree and a 1951 cum laude graduate of Harvard University Law School. While serving in the Army from 1944 to 1946, he also attended Indiana University (1944-45) and New York University (1945-46). He is married to the former Joyce Litteral, also a 1948 graduate of Marshall College, and they are the parents of three children. Mr. and Mrs. Willis have been very supportive of Marshall University, particularly in its effort to build the new library.

Mildred Mitchell Bateman Both a pioneer and a crusader, Mildred Mitchell Bateman is one of West Virginia's most honored citizens. One of her long-time colleagues remarked in 1989, "In my mind, Dr. Bateman has been the single most vital force over the past 35 years in initiating, developing and implementing mental health services in West Virginia." Dr. Bateman continues to serve West Virginians as a clinical director of Huntington Hospital (formerly Hun­ tington State Hospital) and as a part-time professor of psychiatry in the Marshall University School of Medicine. In a medical career spanning 50 years, Dr. Bateman came to West Vrrginia in 1947 as a staff physician at Lakin State Hospital, ultimately rising to the position of director/commissioner of the State Department of Mental Health in 1962, becoming the first African American to administer a agency in West Vrrginia. She retained that post under four governors, leaving in 1977 to become chairman of the Marshall University School of Medicine's Department of Psychiatry, working with new generations of young physicians. Among her many awards is selection as West Vrrginia Woman of the Year (1962). ri

Franklin D. Cleckley Huntington native Franklin D. Cleckley is one of West Virginia's best known and most distinguished attorneys. A graduate of Huntington High School and Anderson (Ind.) University, he received his law degree from the Indiana University School of Law. After three years of service as a Navy JAG officer, during which he was described as "the most requested lawyer in Vietnam," he attended Harvard Law School, earning a master's degree of law. He joined WestVrrginia University in 1969 and in 1972 became the first African American full professor in that university's history. In addition to teaching at WVU, he has served as a visiting law professor at a number of prestigious universities. He is widely known for his writings in various areas of the law and drafted the West Virginia Rules of Evidence and the West Vrrginia Rules of Criminal Procedure. He has worked extensively with the NAACP and in 1987 received the William Robert Ming Award, the highest honor given an attorney by the NAACP. Known as "the poor man's Perry Mason" for his work in criminal cases, he has been presented several prestigious awards by his colleagues in the legal profession. On Sept. 1, 1994, he became the first African American Justice on the West Virgi.nia Supreme Court of Appeals.

Cecil H. Underwood Perhaps best known for the unique achievement of being West Vrrginia's youngest governor at age 34 (1957-61) and West Virginia's oldest governor at 74 (1997-_), Cecil Underwood has also made a name for himself as one of the foremost advocates of high technology as an answer to the state's economic problems. His long career spans the diverse fields of government, education and business, and he has achieved distinction in each. A native of Tyler County, he served in the West Virginia Legislature from 1944 to 1956, when he was elected governor. Mr. Underwood began his career in education as a teacher at St. Marys High School, later becoming an instructor at Marietta (Ohio) College. He served as vice president of Salem College and president of Bethany College. He also has held major administrative positions with Island Creek Coal Co., Monsanto Chemical Co., Princess Coals, Inc., the Small Business Development Center, Software Valley and Morgantown Industrial/Research Park, Inc. Academic Heraldry

The academic costumes worn in the procession of today's Commencement and at other formal University occasions trace their origins to those worn by faculty and students at medi­ eval European universities. With only minor modifications these costumes have remained largely unchanged since the 16th century. Standards for colleges and universities in the United States were established in 1895 with the adoption of an Intercollegiate Code which specifies design and color appropriate for various degrees. As in medieval times the costumes worn on formal academic occasions denote the wearer's academic heritage. Modern academic costume consists of three parts: the gown or robe, a headpiece, and a hood. The sty le of the gown denotes the wearer's level of education. The baccalaureate gown is the simplest in design. Usually black, it is distinguished by a wide yoke with shirring in front and back and by open flowing sleeves which end in a point. The baccalaureate gown is worn closed. The master's gown is similar to the baccalaureate gown except that it has a closed or glove sleeve which is open at the wrist. The master's gown has no other trim and may be worn either open or closed. The doctoral gown is full flowing and has large bell shaped sleeves. It is trimmed with velvet panels down the front and has velvet chevrons on the sleeves. While black is still the predominate color for doctoral gowns, the trim may be in a color which denotes the wearer's discipline or the color of the gown may denote the wearer's university. The mortar board is the headpiece most often worn at American universities for formal occasions. It is appropriately worn with the board flat on the top of the head and with the tassel falling from the left quarter of the board. Tassel colors usually denote the field of discipline in which the wearer's degree was earned. Doctoral tassels are often gold. The soft velvet Tudor cap is also worn by many who hold the doctorate. While the gown and headpiece denote the wearer's level of education, it is the hood which adds meaning and dimension to the academic costume. Changed little since medieval times, the hood is worn falling from the shoulders down the back of the gown in a display of vivid color. It is edged in velvet which by its color denotes the field of discipline in which the wearer's degree was earned and it is lined in two colors of silk which represents the college or university from which the degree was earned. Hence the Marshall University hood is lined in green and white and edged with the appropriate discipline color. A partial listing from the Intercollegiate Code for colors signifying academic disciplines follows:

Agriculture ...... Maize Music ...... Pink Arts and Humanities ...... White Nursing ...... Apricot Business Administration ...... Drab Oratory (Speech) ...... Silver Gray Dentistry ...... Lilac Pharmacy ...... Olive Green Economics ...... Copper Philosophy ...... Dark Blue Education ...... Light Blue Physical Education ...... Sage Green Engineering ...... Orange Public Administration ...... Peacock Blue Fine Arts and Architecture ...... Brown Forestry ...... Russet Public Health ...... Salmon Pink Home Economics ...... Maroon Science ...... Golden Yellow Journalism ...... Crimson Social Science ...... Cream Law ...... Purple Social Work ...... Citron Library Science ...... Lemon Theology or Divinity ...... Scarlet Medicine ...... Green Veterinary Science ...... Gray

At Marshall University, holders of the bachelor and associate degrees do not wear hoods. The color of the tassel on their caps indicates the level of academic excellence achieved in pursuit of their respective degrees. r------•-•-•----•--- •-•••-h••• •-•---- -•••-••••-•--•-•••- ••- ••••••- Profile of Marshall University
