I am confident that, wherever you go from here, your CLA undergraduate education will be a foundation for a good life, however you define it. You have not simply acquired specialized skills for a job "in your field." You have been challenged to reach beyond today to build for tomorrow; to be a leader; to think critically and creatively; to cross intellectual and cultural boundaries; to embrace ambiguity and complexity; and to think and act with vision, courage, and wisdom. My advice to you now is to apply these values wisely and well: do what you love and do it with gusto; never lose sight of your dreams; and remember to create opportunities for others who will follow in your footsteps. Know, too, that your first job out of college is just that-your first job. If current trends hold, you may change jobs, even careers, several times in the coming years. With your CLA education, you'll be ready when change comes. Indeed, you'll be on the leading edge of change. I do hope that your CLA education has touched you profoundly and that what you have learned about yourself and the world will give you purpose and direction in the years ahead. I also hope that your years at the University of Minnesota truly have been some of the best years of your life. I extend my warmest wishes for your continued success throughout your life. I hope that you will carry your degree with pride and stay connected as an alumnus/alumna of the University of Minnesota College of Liberal Arts, Class of2007. Sincerely, rf- 4 /L)._ ()__ James A.

27 COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA AcADEMIC CosTUME Academic gowns date back to the 14th century, when they served two functions of nearly equal impor­ tance: to indicate the academic rank of the wearer and to keep the scholar warm in the drafty stone halls of academia. The markings, cut, and color of modern-day academic-costume-cap, gown, and sometimes hood-in­ dicate the academic degree, the field of study, and the institution that granted the degree. Bachelor's degree gowns are black and untrimmed. A tassel hanging from the mortar board worn on the head is color-coded by college at the University of Minnesota. The College of Liberal Arts tassel is white. Honors graduates wear a medallion adorned with a maroon and gold ribbon. Master's degree gowns, black and untrimmed, have pointed sleeves. Doctoral gowns in the United States traditionally have been black with velvet front facings and crossbars on the sleeves, but in recent years a number of universities have adopted gowns of distinctive school colors. A new University of Minnesota Ph.D. gown and matching tam made their appearance in 1988 to cel­ ebrate the centenary of the first Minnesota doctor of philosophy degree. The new Minnesota gown is maroon-trimmed with black velvet chevrons and gold metallic braid. The traditional gown may still be worn. The Minnesota hood, which may be worn by anyone with a doctoral degree from the University of Minnesota, is black with maroon chevron on gold. Each institution has its own pattern of colors on the hood, worn around the neck and down the back of the gown. The length and shape of the hood identify the most advanced degree the wearer has earned, and the velvet edging shows the field: blue for doctor of philosophy, light blue for doctor of education, and pink for doctor of musical arts. At commencement ceremonies those who already have the doctoral degree wear hoods. Degree can­ didates wear the gowns appropriate for the degrees they are about to receive, and new doctorates are hooded on stage.

THE MACE The University of Minnesota mace was carried for the first time in 1961 by Regents' Professor of Physics Alfred O.C. Nier at the inauguration of President 0. Meredith Wilson. Art professor Philip Morton designed the mace: a crystal sphere four inches in diameter surmounted by the North Star, symbol of the state of Minnesota, on a solid aluminum handle set with the University regents' seal.

THE NoRTHROP ORGAN Comprising 108 ranks of pipes, the Northrop Memorial Auditorium organ is not only one of the largest organs in the Upper Midwest but also one of the finest examples in the United States of a late-Romantic concert-hall organ. Built in 1932, the organ is located in the ceiling of the auditorium, above the stage and behind the proscenium, and is played from a console on an elevator platform in the orchestra pit. Unlike many large organs from its era, the Northrop organ is completely unaltered and entirely in its original condition. Persons interested in events that feature the Northrop organ may contact The Friends of the Northrop Organ, c/o the School of Music, University of Minnesota, 2106 Fourth Street South, Minneapolis, MN 55455.
