Texas Tech University COMMENCEMENT

August 7, 2004 Lubbock, Texas

TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY

Texas Tech is a state-assisted, multipurpose university of approximately 28,000 stu­ dents enrolled in nine colleges-Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources,Archi­ tecture, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Education, Engineering, Honors, Human Sciences, and Visual and Performing Arts. Housed in the College ofArts and Sciences is the School of Mass Communications. The Graduate School and the School of law provide graduate and professional programs. TheTexasTech Health Sciences Center-a separate institution-shares the Lubbock campus with the Uni­ versity. The common-campus arrangement, with a Jaw school, is unique among the state's higher education institutions.

As is necessary for an educational institution of its scope and purpose,Texas Tech operates in several locations. Beyond its 1,839-acre Lubbock campus-all in one tract-the University operates agricultural and biological facilities at the Texas Tech University Center atAmarillo, various research activities at the East Campus Re­ search Center, and the Institute of Environmental and Human Health at Reese Center. Other agricultural research and teaching facilities are in Lubbock County. The Texas Tech University Center at Junction, in the Texas hill country, is a 411-acre unit including teaching, conference, and lodging facilities. There are Texas Tech University Centers inAmarillo,Abilene, Fredericksburg and Marble Falls.Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center is a multi-campus institution with Lubbock as the administra­ tive center and regional campuses at Amarillo, El Paso and Odessa.

Paul Whitfield Horn, the first president ofTexas Tech, drew from the broad open plains of West Texas his vision for the institution. "Let us make the work of our col­ lege fit into the scope of our country;' he said. "Let our thoughts be big thoughts and broad thoughts. Let our thinking be in world-wide terms:'

Horn's challenge to Texas Tech, now embarked on its eighty-first year, continues as a viable force. His insight is most evident as we-faculty and students, administra­ tors and alumni, supporters and friends-strive to shape the University's programs and activities to meet the highest standards of excellence in teaching, research, and public service. ALMAMATER "MATADOR SONG"

Fight, Matadors, for Tech! Songs of love we'll sing to thee. Bear our banners far and wide, Ever to be our pride. Fearless champions ever be. Stand on heights of victory. Strive for honor evermore, Long live the Matadors.

21 ACADEMIC DRESS AND PROCESSION

The wearing of academic dress at commencement dates from the early history of the oldest universities some­ where in the twelfth or thirteenth century. Since educated people were almost always of the clergy, the black gown is somewhat of adaptation of the cope, a mantle of silk or other cloth worn by church dignitaries in proces­ sions and on other occasions. The long gown and cowl (similar to the academic hood of today) were worn by priests and monks for warmth in the cold medieval buildings.

In the early centuries, a great diversity of color and style of cap, gown, and hood appeared in different universities ofEurope. The European custom of wearing academic dress was later introduced atAmerican colleges. Not until after 1895 was a uniform academic code of dress adopted by most colleges and universities in the United States. Today, the black robe, hood, and cap are worn at most institutions of higher learning. • The gown is cut differently for the bachelor's, master's, and doctor's degrees. Usually the bachelor's robe has long pointed sleeves; the master's has closed sleeves, square at the end with a slit at the elbow; the doctor's is faced with velvet and has round open sleeves with three bars of velvet.

The doc tor's hood has side panels and is slightly longer than the one worn for the master's degree.The color used in the vdvet border of the hood indicates the field of study. The velvet border is widest on the doctor's hood.The colors of the lining of the hood indicate the college or university that conferred the degree. For example, those who ha, ·e received advanced degrees from Texas Tech University wear hoods lined with red and black. • The 0xhrd-the so-called mortarboard-is black and has a long tassel fastened to the center. The tassel is usually worn pt ndant over the left front of the cap. Different colored tassels are often worn on the bachelor's and master's caps to indicate the type of degree. The tassel on the cap of the doctor's candidate, except for profes­ sional d1:gre es, is either gold or black. The doctor's degree holders may also wear the velvet tam with a gold tassel as well.

Candida :es for the undergraduate degree will wear the tassel on the right side of the cap at commencement. After the degr !es have been conferred, baccalaureate degree recipients will turn the tassel to the left side of the cap, thus showing that they are now graduates. Those graduates who have the Official Texas Tech Alumni Association Class Rit1g are invited to turn their rings at this time. • Allcand1dates who wear the red cord are honor students who possess a minimum 3.50 grade average and will graduate Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, or Summa Cum Laude. Texas Tech University has four university­ wide ho,1oraries: Golden Key, Mortar Board, Omicron Delta Kappa, and Phi Kappa Phi. Candidates wearing the red and black cords and black and silver medallions are Honors Studies graduates.
