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 commence­
ment 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 medal­
lion with inscriptions represent­
ing 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 11th ­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
four
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 appro­
priate academic apparel. University
­marshals are distinguished by
their blue and gold robes and
Elizabethan caps.
Caps and Tassels
The cap, also called the mortar­
board, 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 usu­
ally 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 appropri­
ate to the ­college from which the
candidate is being graduated; and
doctor’s are usually golden.
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
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

disciplines of The University of
Akron are represented by the
­following hood and tassel colors:

Banners
The impressive backdrop for the
ceremony consists of the banners
of the twelve colleges and the
Graduate School. Each b
­ anner
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 1066. 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 of learn­
ing shown against a city skyline
depicts the University’s metropoli­
tan setting. Three diagonal bars
represent the private, municipal,
and state stages of the University’s
history. The phoenix, a mythi­
cal 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 Presi­
dential Medallion, as designed in
the year 2000 by renowned art­
ist 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, com­
memorating the University’s cen­
tennial. 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 100
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 ris­
ing 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.

The Alma M ater
Chorus
The Alma Mater for The University of Akron was written by the Rev. Augustus B. Church who was the last
Universalist clergy to serve as president of Buchtel College (1901–1912). He was also the first ­person to
assume the board responsibilities of chief executive officer. In fact, Church served both as ­president and
as a trustee of the institution — as well as pastor of the First Universalist Church of Akron. Dr. Church
understood the importance of higher education as a means to improve society, and he worked diligently
on projects to successfully link the educational efforts of Buchtel College with the needs of a growing
city. During his presidency, Buchtel College offered the world’s first courses in rubber chemistry (1909).

The Akron Blue
and
Gold
The University of Akron’s fight song, “The Akron Blue and Gold,” was written in 1939 by Fred Waring,
nationally known composer and leader of the wildly-popular band, “Fred Waring and the
Pennsylvanians.” In response to a request from the University’s ­student newspaper, Waring wrote
“a distinctive song” for The University of Akron. “The Akron Blue and Gold” premiered over his
NBC hookup on November 17, 1939, and has been used as the University’s fight song ever since.

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 100 individuals and 13 businesses in a fund-raising
­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 launched, have proven him right. With an
enrollment of approximately 28,000 ­stu­dents from throughout Ohio, the United
States, and 89 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-degree-granting institution. Today, more than 147,000 of its
alumni live and work around the world.
This program is not an official graduation list.
While every effort is made to ensure accuracy in this commencement program, printing deadlines sometimes
prevent inclusion of candidates’ names, or may result in the use of names of persons not ­completing graduation
requirements. All honors indicated in this program are tentative. Official degree honors for diplomas and tran­
scripts will be determined after final grades are reported. This printed ­program, therefore, should not be used to
­dete­rmine a student’s ­academic or degree status. The University’s official registry for ­conferral of degrees is the
student’s ­permanent academic record, kept by the Office of the University Registrar, Simmons Hall, Akron, OH
