GREETINGS FROM THE CHANCELLOR Dear Graduates: On behalf of the faculty and staff at North Carolina State University, I want to offer congratulations to each of you, and to your families, on completing your degree requirements and achieving this important milestone in your life. Think of the word ”achieve" as you end this phase of your academic career and begin the next phase of your life. Whether that means a successful career, the start of a family or the quest for worldly adventures, it is now up to you. You have been successful on our campus and you can look forward to the chance to excel in your chosen field —- locally, nationally and globally. I believe you will discover, as you begin this journey, that your education at NC State has prepared you to succeed in the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Those who have preceded you on this stage have gone on to do many exciting things -— in research, education, economic development and technology -- all those things that make NC State one of the nation's top universities. Imagine how they felt on this day, with the many possibilities of the world waiting for them. You have unique possibilities before you; you can achieve greatness in whatever you choose to do. We hope throughout your life that you will always feel a desire to return to NC State, whether it is for a football or basketball game, to drop by a professor’s office to say thank you one more time or just to take a walk on the Brickyard to reflect on your time here. We also hope you will want to give back to the university, to help improve the quality of education for those who follow in your footsteps on our campus, just as those who preceded you have done by offering their time, ideas and financial support to make this a better place.

Convocation Center, Centennial Textiles Complex ACADEMIC COSTUME Academic gowns represent a tradition handed down from the universities of the Middle Ages. Universities were founded by the Church and students, being clerics, were obliged to wear the prescribed gowns at all times. Round caps later became square mortarboards. The hoods, originally cowls attached to the gowns, could be slipped over the head for warmth. Many European universities have distinctive caps and gowns different from those commonly used in this country. Some of the gowns are brightly colored and some are embellished with fur. A number of these may be noted in the procession. The usual color for academic gowns in the United States is black. The bachelor’s gown is worn closed, the master’s and doctor's may be worn open or closed. The shape of the sleeve is the distinguishing mark of the gown: bachelor’s have long pointed sleeves; master’s are oblong, square cut in the back with an are cut away in front; doctor’s are bell shaped. Caps are black. The tassels for the PhD. degree are gold, and those for other graduate and professional degrees may correspond to the trimmings on the hoods. Of all the components of the academic costume, the hood bears the heaviest symbolic burden. The hood must make clear the level of the degree, the facultv in which it was given, and the institution that awarded it. The level of the degree is shown by the size of the hood, the width of the velvet trimming, and in the case of doctors, by the shape. The bachelor’s, master's and doctor's hoods are three feet, three and one-half feet, and four feet long, respectively. The velvet trimming in the same order is two, three, and five inches and extends all around the hood on the exposed edge. This same trimming identifies the faculty in which the degree was awarded. For each faculty there is a corresponding color; so a glance at the trimming is all that is needed to identify the faculty. A partial list of the colors follows: Agriculture, maize; Architecture and Art, brown; Science, golden yellow; Economics, copper; Education, light blue; Engineering, orange; Forestry, russet; Physical Education, sage green; Religion, scarlet; Speech, silver gray; Veterinary Medicine, gray; Textiles, wine red. Anthropology, History, Languages, Literature, Philosophy, Political Science and Sociology are all dark blue. ACADEMIC HONORS Undergraduate degree honor designations are noted on transcripts and diplomas for the following grade point averages. Cum Laude for GPA of 3.250 through 3.499 (white sash) Magna Cum Laude for GPA of 3.500 through 3.749 (red sash) Summu Cum Laude for GPA of3.750 and above (gold sash) Students have the opportunity to participate in several programs that provide a more individualized and rigorous approach to learning through special classes, seminars, and research. Participants in the University Honors Program, University Scholars Program, the Park Scholars Program, and college or departmental honors programs are listed in the full graduation program. THE ALMA MATER Words by: Music by: ALVIN M. FOUNTAIN, 23 BONNIE F. NORRIS, IR, 23 Where the winds of Dixie softly blow 0 er the fields of Caroline, There stands ever cherished NC. State, as thy honored shrine. So lift your voices; Loudly sing from hill to oceanside! Our hearts ever hold you, NC. State in the folds of our love and pride. UNIVERSITY MACE The NC State University Mace is carried by the chief faculty marshal, a position held by the chair of the faculty. The academic mace, derived from a medieval weapon, represents the need to protect and nurture the fragile search for knowledge. The NC State University Mace has been specifically designed for this community. It was carried for the first time at the installation of Chancellor Oblinger. Each aspect of the mace represents an important characteristic of the university. When freestanding, the mace is supported in a base of North Carolina stone representing the foundation of knowledge and the dependence of this academic community on the support of the people. At the base of the mace is a brass ring with the names of individuals who have held the position of chancellor, indicating the contribution of generations of academic leaders to the formation and maturation of NC State University. The long lower fluted handle is the primary means by which the mace is grasped, representing the responsibility for the stewardship of knowledge. The shorter fluted, upper handle is the primary means by which direction is shown, and therefore represents the responsibility for guardianship. A block embedded with the seal of the university on four faces represents the university community and its charge to reach out in all directions. At the top of the mace is a geometric progression of layers representing the continual experimentation and testing of knowledge within the NC State academic community. At the very top of the mace is a bronze prow symbolizing the continual exploration that energizes our community The mace is fashioned from burled walnut recovered from a North Carolina tree felled in a storm, emphasizing the need to make wise use of resources even in difficult circumstances. The wood is a gift of the Jordan family, representing the importance of the generosity of the people of North Carolina to the university. The wood is complemented by bronze and silver fittings emphasizing the precious nature of the academic experience in society. During the course of fabrication, an error was made. After much discussion, the design team decided to make the revisions necessary to correct the error rather than refabricate the flawed component. This adjustment, difficult to identify, represents the valuable lessons learned from failure as an essential component of the university experience. The mace was designed and fabricated by a team that included College of Design Dean Marvin I. Malecha, Chris Jordan (1975, Product Design), lack Lancaster and Jim Dean (1983, Product Design) in the College of Design Materials Laboratory. xi UNIVERSITY MEDALLION The NC State University Medallion is worn by the chancellor for ceremonial occasions such as commencement, convocations and installations. Similar to the University Mace, the medallion is derived from the Middle Ages, the period of the birth of the modern university. Today, universities strike medallions to commemorate special events, the contributions of exceptional individuals and to recognize individuals in positions of responsibility. The NC State University Medallion also has been designed with symbolic gestures. The necklace has been shaped by two circles of differing focal points, representing the diverse nature of academic community. It includes pieces that combine into a whole, further signifying that many voices comprise the NC State community. The chain is joined by a small disk inscribed with the year of the founding of the university (1887) in tribute to the vision of the founders. The medallion joined to the necklace is the seal of the university, a representation of the responsibility and authority of the chancellor. The necklace and medallion are fashioned from custom—made gold-plated brass. This choice of materials represents the pride of the university community in its accomplishments. It is a sign of the wealth of knowledge at NC State University. The medallion and necklace were first designed by Mary Ann Scherr. It has been redesigned and reconfigured by a team that included College of Design Dean Marvin J. Malecha, Chris Jordan (1975, Product Design), Jack Lancaster and Sarah Tector. xii ROTC COMMISSIONING CEREMONY Captain Stephen D.
