Led by faculty marshals, the Tcandidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, both the Teaching Program and the Liberal Arts Program, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Liberal Studies, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Technology enter in groups, representing each of the undergraduate colleges. They are followed by the candidates for the highest degrees. The banners w hich are carried with the candidates' procession were first used in 1977. They were designed by Bekka Lindstrom, at that time a sophomore majoring in Art. The banners were fas hioned by Phillip Elliott. tudents wearing a bronze medallion are those graduating summa cum laude (with highest honors), Sa distinction which requires a grade average of 3.75 (4.00 would be all A's); or those graduating students receiving a Purple and Old Gold Award, given to those students who have excell ed in scholarship or who have shown conspicuous achievement in particular areas. The procession continues with representatives of the faculty. he President's Party forms the final section of the academic procession. Headed by the Tcommencement marshal, it includes the president; members of the Board of Regents, state of Iowa; administrative offic ers; the academic deans; and honored guests. The commencement marshal carries the University Mace, designed and fas hioned for the Centennial Commencement in 1976 by Randall Swanson, at that time a freshman majoring in Industri al Arts. A traditional symbol of authority, the mace is a carved wood rod capped with ends of cast bronze, with the top ca rry ing the seal of the university. The sterling silver chain worn by the president was also created fo r the Centennial Commencement. It was designed and constructed by Martin Peterson, then a junior majoring in Art, and it memorializes the historical evolution of the university by ca rry ing the seals of the Iowa State Normal School, the Iowa State Teachers College, the State College of Iowa, and the University of Northern Iowa. he academic costumes worn trace their origin to the Middle Ages when long-sleeved hooded Tgowns were necessary fo r warmth in the unheated stone colleges. Over the centuries, much diversity occurred, and to bring some order, in the United States in 1894 an intercollegiate system of academic costume was agreed on, now adhered to by American institutions. According to this code, both the styling and colors of the regalia have significance. The design of the gown indicates the degree. The bachelor's is a simple gown with a full sleeve. The master's gown is much like it except for the long sleeve which hangs loose. The doctoral gown is full er and more elaborate. It has velvet edging and three velvet stripes on the full sleeve. The color of this velvet may be black or in the color appropriate to the degree. Hoods, which are worn over the gowns, are similar for all degrees, although differing slightly in length. The candidates for the bachelor's degrees usually do not wear the hood. The hood has a velvet edging which indicates the area of the degree, and the inside or lining of the hood is satin in the colors of the coll ege or university granting the degree. A partial list of the degree colors to be fo und on the edge of the hood or the trimming on the doctoral gown is as fo llows: Apricot - Nursing Drab - Business Orange - Engineering Blue , dark - Philosophy Green - Medicine Pink - Music Blue , light - Education Green Sage - Phys ical Educati on Purple - Law Brown - Fine Arts Lemon - Libra ry Science Scarl et - Theology Citron - Social Science Maize - Agriculture White - Arts and Letters Copper - Economics Maroon - Family Yellow, Golden - Science and Consumer Sciences 3 Service Organizations Omicron Delta Kappa Graduates wearing a white stole are members of Omicron Delta Kappa, a junior senior honora1y organization that recognizes stude11ts who h~demonstrated high levels of academic achievements, leadership in campus affairs, and communi~y service.
