138th ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT

MAY 10, 2014 The University Charter The origins of Southern Illinois University Carbondale date to “An Act to Establish and Maintain the Southern Illinois Normal University” approved by the Illinois General Assembly on March 9, 1869. The Act defined the new university’s purpose as “to qualify teachers for the common schools of this state by imparting instruction in the art of teaching in all branches of study which pertain to a common school education in the elements of the natural sciences including agricultural chemistry, animal and vegetable physiology, in the fundamental laws of the United States and of the State of Illinois in regard to the rights and duties of citizens and such other studies as the board of education may from time to time prescribe.” It included provisions for appointment of a Board of Trustees. One of the Board’s first orders of business under the act would be to “advertise for proposals from localities desiring to secure the location of said Normal University.” The Act required the Board to “locate the institution at such point, as shall, all things considered, offer the most advantageous conditions. The land shall be selected south of the Railroad, or within six miles north of said road, passing from St. Louis to Terre Haute known as the Alton and Terre Haute railroad, with a view of obtaining a good supply of water and other conveniences for the use of the institution.” The Act defines how buildings would be constructed as well as procedures for selecting students. It assigned a budget of $75,000 for construction of buildings and for furnishings. The University Charter displayed on the stage today was bound by alumna Wendy Hale Davis, a bookbinder, artist and musician in Austin, Texas.

The ceremonial mace, a decorated staff carried in the commencement procession, is a symbol within a symbol. Above all, the mace is a symbol of authority: It denotes the right of the University administration to confer degrees on its graduates. Its place at the head of the SIU procession and carried by the recipient of the Scholar Excellence Award, who serves as the commencement Grand Marshal, is a mark of respect for the scholarship and dedication of the faculty. The presence of a mace in ceremonial processions dates to the Middle Ages. The earliest maces were practical items, carried by Sergeants-at-Arms as part of the royal bodyguards’ means to protect the king and as a symbol of his authority. In time, the mace was adapted to civic use, and represented leadership. No longer a weapon, the mace became a work of art, decorated with precious metals and often bearing the seal of the city or university it represented. Universities began incorporating a mace into their ceremonies as early as the 15th century. In the United States, most universities continue the tradition and incorporate a ceremonial mace into commencement exercises. At SIU, the mace is imbued with added significance. Chancellor Rita Cheng commissioned Professor Richard Smith, blacksmith and faculty member in the School of Art and Design, to create a mace to debut in 2013. Professor Smith turned to Professor Emeritus Richard Mawdsley, silversmith, to complete the project. He also enlisted the assistance of alumna Erin Dixon; Assistant Professor Sun Kyoung Kim; graduate student Patrick Quinn; and undergraduate students Timothy Schaeffer and Daniel Widolff – all from the School of Art and Design. The mace, then, is very much a product of the University as well as representative of it. The mace, constructed of Damascus steel and silver, is 42 inches tall and 1¼ inches wide at its widest point. Design elements of the piece incorporate architectural references to Old Main — a campus building when SIU was the brand new Southern Illinois Normal University, a teacher’s college, in 1874. Though the Old Main building was destroyed by fire in 1969, it holds a special place in the collective memory of the University, resonating even with those who have come to campus long after the building was gone.

3 ACADEMIC REGALIA Academic regalia worn by faculty during commencement is based on attire from 12th- and 13-century universities. Academic dress and accouterments of this type have been used in the United States since colonial times. To maintain tradition and the conformity of academic symbols, little has changed in the symbolism of pattern and color since the Middle Ages. In 1895 an intercollegiate commission in the U.S. adopted a standardized code for the use of academic gowns, hoods and caps, which included regulating the cut, style and materials of gowns. In addition, colors, which were to represent the different fields of learning, were prescribed. Over the years, only minor revisions have been made to the code, which is followed by the majority of colleges and universities in America, including Southern Illinois University Carbondale. GOWNS STOLE OF GRATITUDE The bachelor’s gown is a comparatively simple style that falls in straight lines Southern Illinois University Carbondale has incorporated the custom of from an elaborate yoke and has pointed sleeves. The master’s gown is similar the Stole of Gratitude since the 2012 commencement ceremony. This to the bachelor’s except for its peculiar arrangement of the long sleeves with custom offers an opportunity for graduates to pay thanks to anyone who square ends that hang below the elbow. The doctor’s gown is elaborate, full- has helped them attend or excel in college. This stole is worn during the cut and flowing, and is distinguished by velvet panels down the front and commencement ceremony or at another occasion where a presentation around the neck and by three velvet bars on the bell-shaped sleeves. is appropriate. After the ceremony, the new graduate presents the Stole of Gratitude to someone who provided extraordinary help or support. HOODS Historically, the academic hood was literally a garment to protect the wearer GONFALONS from foul weather. Today, it is the identifying symbol of the degree and Another symbol used in commencement is the gonfalon. The gonfalon is the length indicates which degree it represents: three and a half feet for the a flag or banner that hangs from a crosspiece or frame. It originated in the master’s and four feet for the doctoral degree. Hoods are lined with the medieval states of Italy as an ensign of state or office. The gonfalon is used official color of the college or university conferring the degree. The color in the Southern Illinois University Carbondale ceremony to designate the of trimming identifies the major field of learning: Maize for Agriculture, various colleges and schools of the institution. In the ceremony, the gonfalon Orange for Applied Sciences and Arts, Brown for Architecture, Drab for for each college is carried by the student marshal for that college or school.

CAPS AND TASSELS The mortar board is the cap generally worn with academic regalia. A long tassel is fastened to the middle point on the top of the cap. The tassel is usually the color appropriate to the subject. There is no general rule on the position of the tassel on the mortar board. However, numerous institutions have adopted a practice of requiring candidates for degrees to wear the tassels on the right front side before degrees are conferred and to shift them to the left side when the degrees are awarded to them.

Over the years, he has continued to fund this award and serve as a mentor to students at his alma mater. He has returned to campus twice in recent years to serve as a guest lighting designer for Department of Theater productions, and during his residencies he delivered master classes for graduate and undergraduate students in theater and in mass communication and media arts. Mr. Moody’s career highlights include assisting Broadway lighting designer Jules Fisher on several productions, including “Jesus Christ Superstar.” He was a founder in the field of touring concert lighting and over a 10-year period designed and/or production managed John Denver, Linda Ronstadt, the Eagles, The Osmonds, the Captain & Tennille, Dolly Parton, the Beach Boys and many others.

Charles E. Priester, Distinguished Service Award Charles Priester, chairman of Priester Aviation LLC, is a true pioneer in the field of aviation at the local, state, national and international levels. A graduate of the University of Notre Dame, he is widely recognized as a leader in the industry. His company manages and charters nearly 60 jet aircraft worldwide and provides a variety of aircraft administration and management services. He is a certified airline transport pilot, and as a certified flight instructor, he was designated by the Federal Aviation Administration as an examiner for pilots seeking certifications. Mr. Priester has been a strong supporter of SIU’s aviation programs for more than three decades. He was a member and became chair of the first Air Institute and Service Advisory Committee, which was formed in 1980. This group was instrumental in advocating for the creation of a formal degree in aviation flight at SIU, which was established in 1984. In 1986 and 1987, Mr. Priester was instrumental in connecting United Airlines and the SIU aviation program to form a first-of-its-kind United Airlines-SIU Flight Operations Internship program. This led to more than 70 former SIU interns securing jobs as pilots with United over the years. He also is the de facto leader of the SIU Aviation Captains Club, a group of Chicagoland aviators formed in 2005 to provide guidance, advice and resources that benefit SIU’s aviation programs. Mr. Priester established and endowed the George Priester Memorial Aviation Scholarship at SIU in honor of his father, the founder of Priester Aviation and the modern-day Palwaukee Airport (now called Chicago Executive Airport). He is in the process of establishing another scholarship in honor of Esther Noffke, a Women’s Air Service Program aviator during World War II and one of the initial partners with George Priester in forming Priester Aviation. Mr. Priester hosts and underwrites the annual SIU Aviation Chicago Golf Outing and has secured tens of thousands of dollars in sponsorships and support. Since it was established in 2007, the event has raised approximately $250,000 for aviation scholarships. Mr. Priester’s son is an SIU aviation graduate and is now a pilot for United Airlines.

Hail, Hail to thee And the rocket’s red glare, The bombs bursting in air, Lyrics and Music by Grover Clarke Morgan Gave proof through the night written as a Sophomore while attending SIU Carbondale in 1934.
