2 University of Colorado at Colorado Springs The University Seal
The University of Colorado has used three seals in its lifetime . The present seal, adopted in 1908, depicts a classical male Greek figure seated against a pillar and holding a scroll . Laurel branches frame a burning torch beside him . The Greek inscription means “Let Your Light Shine ”. The seal’s designer, Henry Reed of Denver, chose the classical motif because Greek civilization “stands as the criterion of culture ”. The laurel symbolizes honor or success, the youth of the figure suggest the “morning of life,” and the scroll represents written language . From 1893 to 1908, the university seal was a copy of Wyon’s medallion, “Science Trims the Lamp of Life ”. The classical figure of a Greek woman knelt before a lamp and was flanked by mariposa lilies, which President Baker described as “a true Colorado flower ”. Before 1893, a seal was used which essentially copies the Colorado state seal . It was never adopted by the Regents . The official seal of the University of Colorado is used primarily on official documents, such as diplomas and transcripts that have been issued on behalf of the university . The Board of Regents uses the seal in transmitting official business . The Norlin Charge to Graduates (From the baccalaureate address by President George Norlin, of the University of Colorado, June 1935)
“You are now certified to the world at large as alumni of the university . She is your kindly mother and you her cherished sons and daughters . This exercise denotes not your severance from her, but your union with her . Commencement does not mean, as many wrongly think, the breaking of ties and the beginning of a life apart . Rather it marks your initiation in the fullest sense into the fellowship of the university, as bearers of her torch, as centers of her influence, as promoters of her spirit . The university is not the campus, not the buildings on the campus, nor the faculties, nor the students of any one time — not one of these or all of them . The university consists of all who come into and go forth from her halls, who are touched by her influence and who carry on her spirit . Wherever you go, the university goes with you . Wherever you are at work, there is the university at work . What the university purposes to be, what it must always strive to be, is represented on its seal, which is stamped on your diplomas — a lamp in the hands of youth . If its light shines not in you and from you, how great is its darkness! But if it shines in you today, and in the thousands before you, who can measure its power? With hope and faith, I welcome you into the fellowship . I bid you farewell only in the sense that I pray you may fare well . You go forth, but not from us . We remain, but not severed from you . God go with you and be with you and us ”.
May 21, 2010 ◆ Commencement 3 The Presidential Chain of Office
The Presidential Chain of Office was created in 1980 by Mary Sartor, M .F .A ., University of Colorado, Boulder, for the inauguration of President Arnold R . Weber . The chain was a gift to the university by Mr . and Mrs . David G . Hawthorn, Class of 1924 . Colorado gold and silver are used throughout the chain to symbolize the importance of those minerals to the history of the state . The gem stones chosen also consist entirely of minerals from Colorado . Three pendants are suspended on the chain . The back pendant is the seal of the State of Colorado surrounded by a golden ribbon representing the golden “Circle of Knowledge ”. The top pendant in the front, the seal of the University of Colorado surmounted by an arch set with diamond and topaz, signifies the necessary link between the search for knowledge and its practical application to the world outside the university . The seal is supported at the bottom by the laurel wreaths found in the seal, emblematic of honor and success . The bottom pendant is centered with a golden topaz indicating man’s quest for knowledge . The surrounding ring is paved with fragmented cubes and diamonds which suggest fragments of knowledge with brilliant breakthroughs of understanding . The chain surrounding these pendants symbolizes the endless but ever-changing cycle of human knowledge .

The National Anthem Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watch’d, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there . O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
4 University of Colorado at Colorado Springs The Chancellor’s Chain of Office
A campus commencement tradition began in 2008 when the Chancellor’s Chain of Office was created to recognize and celebrate the chancellors who have led the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs since its founding in 1965 . The chain was a gift to the university from Mrs . Kathy Griffith, who worked in the Chancellor’s Office for 30 years, upon her retirement as chief of staff in 2008 . The chain is a traditional part of academic regalia that provides recognition at formal events to the person who currently holds the position of chancellor, as well as those who formerly filled the role . The Chancellor’s Chain of Office is connected with the interlocking CU to symbolize campus ties to the CU System . The words “Chancellor” and “Colorado Springs” surround the chain’s medallion of the university’s seal . The chain includes links denoting the university’s six colleges and schools; it also includes individual links recognizing all UCCS chancellors . The chancellors listed are:
Lawrence Silverman 1974-1977 Dwayne Nuzum 1986-1993 Don Schwartz 1978-1982 Linda Bunnell Shade 1993-2001 Neal Lane 1984-1985 Pam Shockley-Zalabak 2002-present
May 21, 2010 ◆ Commencement 5 Academic Dress The tradition of the academic costume began during the twelfth or thirteenth century in the early European universities . Since the clergy composed the majority of the educated class, academic dress is an adaptation of the cape or mantle which was usually of silk or wool and worn by church dignitaries in religious processions . Through the years, great diversity in color and in style of cap, gown and hood developed . In 1896, the colleges and universities in the United States adopted a uniform code governing academic dress . Today, the black gown, hood, and mortar board worn by the graduates in most institutions follow this code . While it is not apparent to the casual observer, the gowns worn by the recipients of the various degrees differ somewhat in design . The sleeves of the gown worn by the baccalaureate candidate are long and pointed, while the sleeves of the gown worn by the master’s degree recipients are square at one end with a slit at the elbow . The doctor’s gown has flowing sleeves with three bars of velvet, and facing of velvet down the front of the gown . Those who receive a master’s or a doctoral degree from the University of Colorado wear hoods lined with the school colors, silver and gold . The hood worn by the doctoral candidate differs in design from that of the master’s as it has side panels and is slightly longer . The velvet border of the hood indicates the degree and usually follows the same code as the color of the tassels . The oxford cap, usually referred to as a mortar board, is black and has a long tassel which is fastened by a button on the top . Candidates for the baccalaureate degree wear the tassel pendant over the right front of the cap before the degree is conferred, then it is worn on the left thereafter . Cum Laude candidates wear bronze honor cords . Magna Cum Laude and honors candidates wear silver honor cords . Summa Cum Laude and special honors candidates wear gold honor cords . The color of the tassel on the bachelor’s cap indicates the field of study, with the exception of the BA degree whose candidates wear white tassels indicating the arts .
