utc University Mace Chancellor's Chain of Office

The University Mace and Chancellor's Chain of Office are significant icons of the institution and stand as impressive symbols on permanent display in the Lupton Library when not in service.

Creation of the mace and chain was commissioned to New York artist and professor of silversmithing at State University of New York Kurt J. Masdorf in 1977.

The University Mace and Chancellor's Chain of Office are emblazoned with the institution's name along with symbols of Tennessee, the state whose citizens we serve. Borrowing from ancient traditions, these hand-crafted ceremonial pieces create interest and respect by both participants and observers. They have become important representations honoring and identifying our educational personage. Faculty Marshals

The origins of academic dress date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, when universities were taking form. The ordinary dress of the scholar, whether student or teacher, was the dress of a cler­ ic. With few exceptions, the medieval scholar had taken at least minor orders, made certain vows, and perhaps been tonsured. Long gowns were worn and may have been necessary for warmth in unheated buildings. Hoods seem to have served to cover the tonsured head until superseded for that purpose by the skull cap.

A statue of the University of Coimbra in 1321 required that all "Doctors, Licentiates, and Bach­ elors" wear gowns. In England, in the second half of the 14th century, the statutes of certain col­ leges forbade "excess in apparel" and prescribed the wearing of a long gown. In the days of Henry VIII of England, Oxford and Cambridge first began prescribing a definite academic dress and made it a matter of university control even to the extent of its minor details.

The assignment of colors to signify certain faculties was to be a much later development and one which was to be standardized only in the United States in the late 19th century. White taken from the white fur trimming of the Oxford and Cambridge B.A. hoods was assigned to arts and let­ ters. Red, one of the traditional colors of the church, went to theology. Green, the color medieval herbs, was adopted for medicine; and olive, because it was so close to green, was given to phar­ macy. Golden yellow, standing for the wealth which scientific research has produced, was assigned to the sciences.

European institutions have always had great diversity in their specifications of academic dress, and this has been a source of confusion. In contrast, American colleges and universities opted for a definite system that all might follow. A significant contribution to the development of this system was made by Gardner Cotrell Leonard of Albany, New York. Mr. Leonard designed gowns for his class at Williams College in 1887 and had them made by Cotrell and Leonard, a firm established by his family in Albany, New York. He was greatly interested in the subject, and following the publication of an article by him on academic dress in 1893, was invited to work with an Intercolle­ giate Commission made up of representatives of leading institutions to establish a suitable system of academic apparel. The Commission met at Columbia University in 1895 and adopted a code of academic dress, which besides regulating the cut and style and materials of gowns prescribed the colors which were to represent the different fields of learning. In 1932 the American Council on Education authorized the appointment of a committee "to determine whether revision and completion of the academic code adopted by the conference of the colleges and universities in 1895 is desirable at this time, and, if so, to draft a revised code and present a plan for submitting the code to the consideration of the institutional members of the Council." The committee reviewed the situation through correspondence and conference and ap­ proved a code for academic costumes that has been in effect since that year.

A Committee on Academic Costumes and Ceremonies, appointed by the American Council on Education in 1959, again reviewed the costume code and made several changes. In 1986, the committees updated the code and added a sentence clarifying the use of the color dark blue for the (Ph.D.) degree.

It is customary at many colleges and universities for the tassel to be worn on the right side of the cap by degree candidates. Upon conferral of the degree, the tassel is then moved from right to left. For all academic purposes, including trimmings of doctoral gowns and edging of hoods, the colors associated with different disciplines represented at The at Chattanooga are as follow:

Art: White Music: Pink Commerce, Accountancy, Nursing: Apricot Business: Sapphire Blue Oratory (Speech): Silver Gray Economics: Copper Philosophy: Dark Blue Education: Light Blue Physical Therapy: Teal Engineering: Orange Public Administration, including Fine Arts: Brown Foreign Services: Sapphire Blue Journalism: Crimson Science: Golden Yellow Law: Purple Social Work: Citron Library Science: Lemon Theology: Scarlet

Today is a milestone day in the lives of our graduates. Our administration, faculty, and staff join in recog­ nizing and congratulating each of today's honorees. We want today to be special, and we want each of our graduates to receive the recognition and the attention for which so many individual families have sacrificed. Each of our graduates deserves his or her moment of recognition. For that reason, please do not celebrate so exuberantly preventing the next graduate's name from being heard. Thank you for helping us to celebrate the accomplishment of each graduate. — Your Commencement Marshals

Thank you to the members of the UTC GOLD Council who served as hosts for today's ceremony.

This program lists candidates for degrees anticipated to have completed all requirements for graduation prior to the date of commencement. Inclusion of an individual's name in the commencement program does not commit the University to grant a degree to an individual who has not completed the degree re­ quirements.

The University has arranged for a professional photographer to be present who will capture the moment for each family. Complimentary proofs will be mailed to your home within one week. Images will also be posted online at the photographer's website and should be available to view within about 48 hours. Inexpensive, quality enlargements may be requested online or by mail, phone, or FAX. If you should not receive your proof in the mail within two weeks, you may wish to inquire directly. Graduates are under no obligation to order any enlargements.

The first advanced degree program, theology, was offered in 1886 when The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga was known as Chattanooga University. The degree in theology was followed by advanced degrees in medicine and law. In 1910, advanced degrees were discontinued at the institution.

It was not until 1942 that the post baccalaureate degree as we know it today was of­ fered. The master's degree in music was approved in 1942 and was followed in 1948 by a master's degree in education. After this modest beginning in the 1940s and 1950s, the University added four or five graduate programs each decade until the 1990s when it added six new programs. Currently, there are 12 graduate certificate programs, 18 master's degree programs, an educational specialist program, and three doctoral degree programs.

When the University of Chattanooga and City College merged with The University of Tennessee in 1969, the merger agreement stated that UTC would "become a doctoral- granting institution as soon as practicable." In December 2003, UTC awarded its first Doctor of Physical Therapy (D.ET) degree. In December 2004, UTC awarded its first Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Computational Engineering and in August 2008 UTC awarded its first Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) degree in Learning and Leadership. Honors

Graduation with Distinction

Based on a grading system of "A" as 4-0, three designations of graduation honors are recognized.

Summa Cum Laude With Highest Distinction (white tassel)

Magna Cum Laude With High Distinction (gold tassel)

Cum Laude With Distinction

Honor designations at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga are based upon a student's entire academic career and are not finalized until grades for the final semester are posted to the student's record. Due to the deadline for submitting the program to the printer, changes in a stu­ dent's honor designations or membership in an honorary society may not be reflected in the Com­ mencement Program. The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga regrets any inconvenience that this may cause and assures those students and their families that the correct information will be recorded on the diploma and the official transcript.
