                                 CEREMONY
A Perspective     Purdue University owes a substantial debt to its medieval predecessors for its commencement ceremony and academic attire. The academic heri-
                  tage that evolved during the Middle Ages provided us with a teaching institution, the university; a method of measuring academic progress, degrees;
                  and a structure for an appropriate ceremony recognizing the student’s achievement, commencement. In June 1875, Purdue University held its first
                  commencement outdoors on the Oval, awarding the Bachelor of Science degree to a class of one. In 1903, commencement was moved indoors to
                  the newly-completed Eliza Fowler Hall. The steady growth of the size of the graduating class necessitated moving the exercises to larger and larger
                  facilities: the Memorial Gymnasium, the Armory, the Field House, and in 1940, to the Edward C. Elliott Hall of Music. The 233rd commencement
                  at the West Lafayette campus is being held today for graduates who qualified for their degrees at the end of the current semester. The colorful cer-
                  emony, enacted each year on campuses throughout the world, is the formal climax and recognition of the graduates’ years of study and preparation.

Academic Attire   Graduate candidates for degrees wear a black tassel on the left side of the square Oxford cap, or mortarboard, signifying receipt of a previous
                  degree. At Purdue, the color of the trim on the hood identifies the areas of specialization.

Procession        Leading the procession into the auditorium is the grand marshal, followed by the president of the University, members of the Board of Trustees,
                  the deans of the colleges/schools, and other members of the University administration. Representatives of the faculties of Purdue University
                  enter next, behind the University banner, wearing the colorful hoods of the colleges and universities from which they graduated. The candi-
                  dates in each college/school then enter, escorted by a marshal wearing a black gown with old gold chevrons on the sleeves.

PRELUDE

ORGAN PRELUDE
Jeffry P. Stearns, Organist

Sinfonia (BWV 29)              J.S. Bach (1685-1750) was a monumentally prolific German composer of the Baroque period, a
J.S. Bach                      master of polyphony, and a keyboard virtuoso. Bach wrote over 190 cantatas alone. The Sinfonia
                               is an instrumental piece from the cantata “We Thank Thee, God.” Bach’s penchant for order is
                               exemplified in the exuberant scales and sequences that are intended to lead the listener to feelings
                               of gratitude, joy and optimism.

Carillon de Westminster        The works of Louis Vierne (1870-1937) include five organ symphonies as well as numerous smaller
(Op. 54, No. 6)                works, such as his Four Suites for Organ. “Carillon de Westminster” is from Vierne’s Third Suite and
Louis Vierne                   has as its musical motif the melody of the bells of “Big Ben,” the clock in Westminster Cathedral.

Final                          Alexandre Guilmant (1837-1911) was an organ virtuoso and master of improvisation in France
(Sonata in D-minor, Op. 42)    during the Romantic period. He served as organist at St. Sulspice, Notre Dame and Ste. Trinite in
Alexandre Guilmant             Paris. Guilmant was also organ professor at the Paris Conservatory and was one of the founders
                               of the Schola Cantorum. The Sonata in D-minor is dedicated to His Majesty Leopold II. The
                               “Final” movement is in classic ABA form with an extension in D major invoking a procession with
                               cascading scales and fanfares.

COMMENCEMENT FANFARE
The Mace and the Banners       Jeffry Stearns (M.S. 1988) taught music at West Lafayette Junior/Senior High School for 30 years and
Jeffry P. Stearns              is retired from that position. In his time at the school he served as department leader, K-12 Music
                               Communicator, developed and taught courses in Electronic Music and Music Appreciation, taught
                               Music Theory, worked with junior and senior high choristers and orchestra students, and was a
                               mentor for first year music teachers. Mr. Stearns remains Organist and Director of Adult Music at
                               Central Presbyterian Church in Lafayette where he has served since 1986. He also teaches privately
                               and is a Visiting Lecturer in music at Purdue. “The Mace and the Banners” is one of several organ
                               fanfares that Mr. Stearns has written especially for commencement ceremonies at Purdue.

                                                                  Built in 1872 as Boarding Hall, this was the first permanent
                                                                  building to be erected north of State Street. When Purdue opened
                                                                  in September of 1874, it housed the college dining room, living
                                                                  quarters for new faculty and their families, and the office for
                                                                  Purdue’s second president, Abraham C. Shortridge Also known
                                                                  for a time as Art Hall, when classes in that subject were taught in
                                                                  some of the rooms on the first floor, it was used for the major part
                                                                  of its existence as the women’s residence hall, Ladies Hall. It faced
                                                                  State Street just a few steps east of where Matthews Hall now
                                                                  stands. Ladies Hall was torn down in 1927—one of the first major
                                                                  University buildings to disappear from campus.

                                                                                                                                      3

     CAPS AND GOWNS

     The academic costumes of today have a history which reaches back more than 800 years. The
     development of the universities in Western Europe during the 12th century was the result of several
     influences in medieval life. One of these was the Catholic Church and its monasteries which, at that time, were
     the chief repositories of classical learning. As the Church developed, monastic and cathedral schools were often
     established at important cathedral centers to train clerics to assist the bishop in the administration of the dio-
     cese. Another major influence was the medieval guild system. The members of every trade or profession,
     having common interests and problems, had the right to organize themselves into a collegium, or guild, and to
     elect their own magistrates.
     Two of the earliest medieval schools evolved at Bologna, where the teachers were called doctors (from the
     Latin doctoreum, a teacher), and at Paris, where they were called masters (from the Latin magister, a teacher).
     As these schools grew and the number of doctors and masters increased, each group formed a local guild. The
     word universitas, a frequently used term applied to any collectivity–including that of guilds–soon became asso-
     ciated with these centers of learning.
     A student at one of these early universities attended classes and heard lectures, but took examinations only if
     he decided to become a teacher. The first step in this process was a series of private and public
     preliminary examinations. After passing them, the candidate would don a special gown and sit with the
     baccahalari, or bachelors. This ceremony was usually followed by a feast with wine provided by the successful
     candidate. Two or three years of additional study and the successful completion of a final examination were
     then required before the student became a “master,” or in the Italian or German universities, a “doctor.”
     In medieval Europe, all townspeople–men and women–wore long flowing robes or gowns. Cold halls and
     drafty buildings made caps and floor-length capes with attached hoods a necessity for warmth. The materials
     and colors of these gowns varied greatly, according to the wealth and rank of the individual. Since the scholars
     at the early universities were usually clerics as well, they adopted gown styles similar to those of their monastic
     order, with hoods to protect their heads. Not until the universities gradually began to pass from the control of
     the Church did these early drab academic costumes begin to take on brighter hues.
     Gradually, the academic costumes became distinctive in style for the bachelors, masters, and doctors, the chief
     distinction appearing in the hood. After a time, this hood became a separate article, worn over the head and
     hanging far down the wearer’s back. When caps and hats came into fashion in the 15th century, the hoods
     became merely ornamental, draped over the shoulder and down the back. These early academic hats originat-
     ed as a symbol of the master’s degree and existed in various forms: some were round, some square, and some
     had a tuft in the center. The tassel in use today is an elaboration of this early tuft. The flat, square “mortarboard”
     style comes to us from Oxford. Ballad folklore suggests that it resembles a scholar’s book.
     The faculties of American universities seem to have worn distinguishing costumes from the beginning at
     Harvard in 1636. Styles became quite varied as they were, and still are, in Europe. However, a group of
     American college and university representatives met in 1895 to establish a uniform system of academic apparel
     for this country, which led to adoption of the “Intercollegiate Code of Academic Costume” in 1902, and its later
     revisions in 1932 and 1960.

THE USE OF
                                ACADEMIC EMBLEMS
The Seal                  Seals are common to all corporate bodies and have been used since ancient times to authenticate documents.
                          They constituted the official signatures of emperors, bishops, and corporations. University seals evolved from those
                          of church corporations. In Europe, the early faculties and student nations possessed seals; in the United States, all
                          colleges and universities have had seals since Colonial days. The current Purdue Seal was officially adopted in 1969
                          and retains elements of earlier versions, which evolved beginning in 1890. The seal features a stylized depiction of
                          the griffin, the mythological beast with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion. In medieval heraldry, the griffin
                          symbolized strength. The three-part shield represents Purdue’s traditional aims: learning, discovery, and engagement.
                          The seal combines these traditional elements with modern simplicity of design to form one of the most distinctive of
                          university symbols.

The University Mace       The mace has an ancient history as a symbol of authority. Originally giant clubs made of iron and capable of breaking
                          armor, maces were used chiefly by knights. They were also often borne by a royal bodyguard to protect the king
                          in processions. In the course of time, by the 14th century, they assumed more ceremonial functions and lost their
                          warlike appearance, as they began to be decorated with jewels and precious metals. In 1649, the English House of
                          Commons obtained a mace. In 1756, a silver mace was made for the colony of South Carolina; it is still in use in the
                          state capital at Columbia. In the United States House of Representatives, the mace is placed to the right of the speaker.
                          As a symbol of order and authority, a mace is carried before the president and other dignitaries in the platform party
                          in commencement processions. As a reflection of the modern vision of a truly American university, the design of the
                          Purdue Mace embraces sweeping thrusts and counterthrusts to create a vital energy within an otherwise clean, linear
                          aesthetic. The University seal is located in the center of the mace-head; bounding it are two sweeping silver wings.

The Presidential          Closely allied with maces and seals as symbols of authority are the collars of office worn by many officials, including
Medallion                 chancellors and presidents of universities. Collars usually include a medallion inscribed with the seal of the institution
                          and are worn over the academic gown on public occasions, particularly at commencements. Located in the center of
                          Purdue’s Presidential Medallion is the three-part “heraldic shield” and griffin, the symbol which has existed throughout
                          Purdue’s long history of University seals. The medallion, as well as the mace, was handcrafted from sterling silver,
                          ebony, and gold, using the centuries-old techniques of swedging, forging, hollow-forming, and silver soldering.

The Banners               The banners, sometimes known as standards or gonfalons (a flag that hangs from a crosspiece or frame), originated in
                          the medieval republics of Italy as an ensign of state or office. They have been adopted in many universities around the
                          world as school or institutional insignias. The fourteen banners displayed represent the University, the Graduate School,
                          and the twelve undergraduate colleges or schools at the West Lafayette campus. The colors of the University, old gold
                          and black, are joined together in a pattern common to all the banners. The bands are the same colors as the tassels
                          worn on the mortarboard of the college’s or school’s graduates.
                          Each college or school is represented on its banner by a symbol and two colored bands indicating its major academic
                          discipline.

The Teaching Medallion The medallion identifies members of the Purdue University Teaching Academy, a dedicated and dynamic
                          network of scholar-teachers committed to the continual improvement of teaching and learning at Purdue Uni-
                          versity. Under the auspices of the Office of the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Teaching
                          Academy works with the academic schools, the Center for Instructional Excellence, and others to enrich the
                          educational experiences of the entire Purdue University community. The mission of the Teaching Academy is
                          to provide leadership and serve as a catalyst to enhance and strengthen the quality of undergraduate, graduate,
                          and outreach teaching and learning.

                                                                                                                                                17
THE PURDUE
                              UNIVERSITY SEAL

     The Purdue seal is used as the University’s formal signature — a confirmation of authenticity on all official documents.
     The first Purdue seal was designed in 1890. The current seal, designed in 1968 by Al Gowan to retain elements of
     all eight previous versions, is used on official University documents such as diplomas, letters of acceptance and
     communication from the Board of Trustees and the president.
     Today’s seal features a stylized griffin, the mythological creature with an eagle’s head and lion’s body. In medieval
     heraldry, the griffin symbolized strength. The three-sectioned shield represents Purdue’s traditional aims: education,
     research and service.
