SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY

In 1911, a Methodist education commission made a commitment to establish a major Methodist university in Texas. More than 600 acres of open prairie and $300,000 pledged by a group of Dallas citizens secured the university for Dallas, and it was chartered as Southern Methodist University. In appreciation of the city’s support, the first building to be constructed on the campus was named Dallas Hall. It remains the centerpiece and symbol of SMU. When the University opened in 1915, it consisted of two buildings, 706 students, a 35-member faculty and total assets of $636,540. The original schools of SMU were the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Theology and the School of Music.

SMU is owned by the South Central Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church. The first charge of its founders, however, was that it become a great university, not necessarily a great Methodist university. From its founding, SMU has been nonsectarian in its teaching and committed to the values of academic freedom and open inquiry.

Today, Southern Methodist University offers a comprehensive curriculum through Dedman College – the college of humanities and sciences – and six schools: Meadows School of the Arts, Edwin L. Cox School of Business, School of Engineering, Perkins School of Theology, Dedman School of Law, and Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development.

3 The University offers 113 undergraduate majors, Master’s degrees in over 100 areas, professional degrees in two disciplines, Ph.D. degrees in 25 fields, and 34 certificate programs.

Enrollment for Fall 2007 was 10,829, including 6,176 undergraduate students and 4,653 graduate and professional school students. SMU students come from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and 78 countries. About 80 percent of first-year students received some form of finan- cial assistance for 2007-2008. About 21 percent of the student body are minorities; 63 percent of undergraduates and 49 percent of graduate students report religious affiliation; 12 percent are Methodist, 13 are Roman Catholic. Also represented in the student body are other Protestant denominations and other religions, including Judaism, Buddhism and Islam.

In addition to preparing students for graduate and professional schools, or more directly for their life’s work, the University strives to enhance their social, moral, intellectual and religious development so that they may lead worthy lives as individuals and citizens of the nation and of the world.

4 THE ACADEMIC PROCESSION AND REGALIA

The academic procession and the regalia worn by the faculty and officers of the University symbolically represent the continuing link between the modern American university and the founding of the great medieval universities in Europe – chief among them Bologna, Paris and Oxford. As those institutions were derived from the Catholic Church, the universities adopted many of the ceremonial trappings of the church in their official public functions.

The mace of the University, a symbol of the the arm emerges from a long sleeve through a authority vested in the president by the Board slit at the wrist (replacing a former slit at the of Trustees and representing the covenant elbow). In most cases, the Doctor’s gown is between the president and the faculty, is marked by velvet panels down the front and borne by the president of around the neck, and by the Faculty Senate. three bars of the same Though the order of the material on the bell- procession varies from shaped sleeves.

The caps, too, vary according to the customs The caps and gowns worn in the procession of the university from which the wearer also vary from place to place. There are variations received a degree. While most American in design to indicate the degrees held by the universities adopted the “mortarboard” style wearers, and many universities in America of Oxford, others have chosen styles based have introduced colorful gowns and other on other European institutions. The color of distinguishing details (in place of the customary the tassel worn with the cap may be black for clerical black from which all originated). any degree, or the color may be that of the The Bachelor’s gown is a simple robe falling faculty of the major field of learning (e.g., Arts, in straight lines from an elaborate yoke. Its Engineering, Law, etc.). Persons holding distinguishing characteristic is the long pointed doctoral degrees and governing officials of sleeves. Master’s gowns are arranged so that institutions are entitled to wear tassels of

5 gold metallic thread. Such tassels are usually sewn in place. It is common practice, although not universal, that a ceremony is made of moving the tassel from the right to the left side of the cap at the moment the degree is awarded.

Within the great varieties of styles and colors in gowns and caps, there has been one universally accepted code for the hood worn trailing down the wearer’s back. Originally, it was like the hood on the habit worn by monks. Nowadays, the hood through length and color shows the degree and the specialization of the wearer, and the university that granted the degree. The Bachelor’s,

1 Master’s, and Doctor’s hoods are 3 feet, 3 /2 feet and 4 feet long, respectively. The velvet trimming in the same order is 2, 3 and 5 inches wide. The color of the trim identifies the faculty. A partial list of faculty colors follows: Arts, Letters, Humanities – White; Music – Pink; Business – Drab; Philosophy – Dark Blue; Engineering – Orange; Science – Golden Yellow; Fine Arts – Brown; Theology – Scarlet; Law – Purple. The lining of the hood – that portion most visible from the rear – indicates the institution awarding the degree. SMU’s hood lining, for example, is blue with red chevron.

The University’s ceremonial banners were designed by Robert B. Chambers, associate professor emeritus of theatre, Meadows School of the Arts, and fabricated by Mamie Chambers. The banners bear heraldic designs with the color of trim identifying each school and group ushered this evening.

Through these colorful ceremonies, SMU symbolically displays the continuity of its educational purposes with the origins of organized learning in the Western world.

So that all may enjoy the majesty of the ceremony and the joy of the occasion, we ask that no photographs be taken inside the coliseum. Official photographs of candidates will be taken as they receive their degrees. You will have an opportunity to purchase these photographs.

Southern Methodist University will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability or veteran status. SMU’s commitment to equal opportunity includes nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

The Office of Academic Ceremonies wishes to thank all who have worked so hard to make this evening a celebration of the accomplishments of those members of the SMU community who are about to receive degrees.

O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain; for purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.

O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife, who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine, till all success be nobleness, and every gain divine.

O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears! America! America! God mend thine every flaw, confirm thy soul in self-control, thy liberty in law.

Oh we see the Varsity,

Varsity, Varsity

As she towers o’er the hill

And our hearts are filled with joy,
