SCRIPTURE Ivan M. Estevez Ephesians 1:11 (TPT)

HYMN Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing Traditional American Melody Text: Robert Robinson Tune: Nettleton Come, Thou fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above; Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, Mount of God’s unchanging love! Here I raise my Ebenezer; Hither by Thy help I’m come; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious blood. Oh, to grace how great a debtor Daily I’m constrained to be! Let that grace now, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee; Prone to wander, Lord I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here’s my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above.

Students who have met the scholarship standard but not the other honor requirements are listed HONORABLE MENTION. A black and orange braid is worn by graduates receiving degrees with honors.

Graduation honors are awarded on the basis of scholastic average. Listing of the student’s name does not guarantee degree completion.

THE ACADEMIC PROCESSION The academic costume, which adds interest and color to these commencement exercises, is as old in history as are colleges and universities – that is, more than 800 years old. In the preceding centuries where there was no central heating, these served many practical purposes.

In today’s academic procession, the style of gown and the hood of each faculty member indicate the degree held by the individual. The velvet neckcloth hue denotes the degree and the satin lining colors are those of the college or university from which the wearer was graduated.

Each college attempts to maintain distinctiveness of design. Greenville University is the only American institution with the black and single orange chevron hood. The most recent regalia designed for Greenville University are the robes worn by the Board of Trustees. The black robes with four orange veltessa bars on wide, cuffed sleeves and panels of the same fabric extending down the front, were first worn in November 1970, at the inauguration of the seventh president of the University.
