Suite by Tylman Susato The University of Akron Brass Choir *Presentation of candidates is in the order of college founding date. AcADEMic PRocESSIONAL & CEREMONIAL CusTOMS The pageantry of commencement is rooted in traditions that are centuries old. The following information is designed to assist you in understanding the significance of these ceremonial rites. Processional The academic processional is an official prelude to the commencement ceremony. The University marshal leads the procession, bearing the University Mace, which represents the authority of both the University and of the state. Following the University marshal are the members of the platform party including trustees, recipient(s) of honorary degrees, and the president of the University, who wears a medallion with inscriptions representing the history of the state and the University. Next come the members of the faculty followed by the degree candidates. The marching order of candidates customarily reflects the historical order in which the various colleges or schools of the University were established. Led by marshals, the candidates for degrees march in with their respective colleges. Academic Attire The academic regalia worn at commencement is of medieval origin. The scholars of Bologna, Paris, Oxford, Cambridge, and Heidelberg dressed in a manner to distinguish themselves from the merchants and other townsmen. When the universities first came into being in the nth century, "learned clerks" robed themselves in gowns, caps, and hoods, thus signifying the distinction between "town" and "gown." As additional universities came into being, their faculties adopted distinctive forms of the gown and hood for bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. These customs are reflected in today's academic attire. In Europe, a professor generally wears the type of garment customary in the university where he or she is lecturing. In the United States, however, professors wear the gown and hood of the university where they earned their highest degree. All commencement ceremony participants at The University of Akron are attired in the appropriate academic apparel. University marshals are distinguished by their blue and gold robes and Elizabethan caps. Caps and Tassels The cap, also called the mortarboard, may have been derived from the squarish cap worn by the masons of the Middle Ages, or perhaps was suggested by the shape of the books which occupied so much of the scholar's time. In the United States, the cap is usually flat and square in shape. In Europe, one sometimes sees caps of other varieties. Attached to a button atop the mortarboard is a tassel; associate's are often silver in color; bachelor's and master's are black or of a color appropriate to the college from which the candidate is being graduated; and doctor's are usually golden. panels and has bell-shaped sleeves adorned with three velvet Bars. Hoods A triangular fold of cloth worn over the back of the gown, the hood is faced with colors which denote the field of study represented by the wearer's degree. The colors of the lining indicate the college or academic discipline in which the degree is granted. Recipients of the doctor of philosophy degree wear royal blue hoods, and their caps feature golden tassels. Those who have earned the doctor of education degree wear light blue hoods and tassels. Colors The various colleges and academic disciplines of The University of Akron are represented by the following hood and tassel colors: Black Dark Brown Creative and Professional Arts Drab Business Gold Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering Green Health Sciences and Human Services Light Blue Education Orange Engineering Peach Nursing Purple Law Silver Summit College and Wayne College Associate's White Arts and Sciences Gowns Originally, the gown may simply have been a type of overcoat to protect the teacher from the cold in unheated buildings. The cut or style appears to derive from ecclesiastical attire and most often is black. The associate's and bachelor's gowns generally have a closed front and open sleeves. The master's gown more often has long, closed sleeves, from which the arms extend through a slit at the wrist. The doctor's gown is faced down the front with velvet Summit College, Bachelor's Banners The impressive backdrop for the ceremony consists of the banners of the twelve colleges and the Graduate School. Each banner bears the name and founding date of the college it represents. Banners were first instituted at The University of Akron in the spring of 1995. The University Seal and the Presidential Medallion A seal serves to confirm, ratify, or secure an emblem, symbol, or word that is used to certify a signature or authenticate a document. The use of official seals dates back to the Norman Conquest in ro66. During the next century, seals were used throughout England to authenticate documents. Persons of rank had unique seals befitting their status. Most seals were circular or oval-shaped and bore heraldic designs embossed on their faces. The use of seals became part of academic tradition in the medieval university and continues to the present. The University of Akron, for example, displays its seal on diplomas presented to its graduates. The coat of arms shown on the University's seal includes an open book and quill, representative of the University's original liberal arts curriculum. A lamp oflearning shown against a city skyline depicts the University's metropolitan setting. Three diagonal bars represent the private, municipal, and state stages of the University's history. The phoenix, a mythical bird that is consumed by fire and rises from its ashes to achieve greater glory, is a tribute to the University's rebirth following the devastating fire of 1899. The seal also displays the original Buchtel College motto, Fiat Lux (let there be light). The University's current Presidential Medallion, as designed in the year zooo by renowned artist Don Drumm, consists of the University seal, set in a necklace of pewter. Originally, the Presidential Medallion was presented by the Alumni Association in 1970, commemorating the University's centennial. The medallion is a symbol of the authority of the president, as bestowed by the Board of Trustees, that traditionally is worn by the president on important ceremonial occasions. Ceremonial Mace University Seal The Ceremonial Mace The Ceremonial Mace was presented to The University of Akron by the Alumni Association on Founders Day 1970, in recognition of the University's founding roo years earlier as Buchtel College. Since ancient times, maces have been symbols of authority for many academic and governmental bodies. The University of Akron's Ceremonial Mace is carried by the University marshal at all formal academic occasions. The most distinguishing feature of the Ceremonial Mace is the rising phoenix. A mythical bird that rose anew from its ashes to achieve even greater glory, the phoenix is a fitting symbol for the University whose predecessor, Buchtel College, suffered a disastrous fire in 1899 and was rebuilt through the generous support of alumni and the community.

Church who was the last Universalist clergy to serve as president of Buchtel College {I9or-I9I2). He was also the first person to assume the board responsibilities of chief executive officer.

D.C. a/fine The University ofAkron's fight song, "The Akron Blue and Gold," was written in I939 by Fred Waring, nationally known composer and leader ofthe wildly-popular band, "Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians." In response to a requestfrom the University's student newspaper, Waring wrote "a distinctive song"for The University ofAkron. "The Akron Blue and Gold" premiered over his NBC hookup on November q, I939• and has been used as the University's fight song ever since. THE UNIVERSITY OF AKRON: A PROUD TRADITION T he Ohio Universalist Convention established a small, liberal arts college in Akron in 1870 and named it for one of the city's prominent industrialists, John R. Buchtel. It was Buchtel who led a group of wo individuals and 13 businesses in a fundraising campaign to build the college. On July 4, 1871, thousands of area citizens turned out to witness the results of that initiative, joining in a great celebration as the cornerstone was laid for a single but impressive structure that constituted Buchtel College. Both a visionary and a pragmatist, Buchtel believed that the vigor of any city is closely tied to the proximity of a high quality institution of higher education. Decades of progress, both for the city and for the college he helped to launch, have proven him right. With an enrollment of approximately 29,700 students from throughout Ohio, the United States, and 77 foreign countries, the successor of Buchtel College is one of the largest principal campuses in Ohio. Long committed to an academic tradition which stresses excellence, The University of Akron offers more than 300 associate, baccalaureate, and master's degree programs and options, as well as 18 doctoral degree programs and four law degrees. Since 1914, the University has been accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, and it is currently classified at the highest level as a comprehensive, doctoral-degreegranting institution. Today, more than 155,ooo of its alumni live and work around the world. This program is not an official graduation list.
