Academic costume The history of academic dress reaches back to the early days of the oldest

universities. A statute of 1321 required that all "Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors" of the University of Coimbra wear gowns. It is still a question whether academic dress finds its sources chiefly in ecclesiastical or in civilian dress. Gowns were necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings frequented by medieval scholars. Hoods served as head cover until they were replaced for that purpose by the skull cap. This was superseded by a headdress more similar to those now recognized as "academic."

Over the many years of development, a great diversity of academic apparel made its appearance. When American colleges and universities decided to adopt some suitable system of academic apparel over a half century ago, it seemed to them best to agree on some definite system which all might follow. Accordingly, there was on May 16, 1895, at Columbia University, a conference of representatives of the governing boards of interested institutions. The outgrowth of that meeting was the establishment of "The Academic Costume Code." The "code" has been revised several times since its initial approval. The most recent change was in 1959.

The long pointed sleeve to the gown indicates a bachelor's degree; the long closed sleeve with a slit near the upper part of the arm indicates a master's degree, and the open sleeve marks a doctor's degree. Bachelors' and masters' gowns are black and without trim. Candidates for degrees lesser than the backelor's wear gowns of another color. Hoods also denote each different degree. They vary in shape, size, and length. The larger and more elaborate designate the doctoral level. The shell of the hood matches the color of the gown, and is lined with the colors of the institution conferring the degree. The velvet border of the hood is of a color indicative of the field of learning to which the degree pertains. The hoods worn at commencement are for degrees which have already been received.

The Oxford cap, proper for all degrees, is worn both indoors and outdoors with academic costume. The colored tassel is also symbolic of the degree to be conferred and conforms to the hood trimming.

Under graduate candidates who have earned graduation honors at the University of Minnesota Technical College are recognized by an insignia worn on the right shoulder.

NATIONAL ANTHEM

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

o say! Can you See, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilious fight, O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

o say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave O'er the land ofthe free and the home ofthe brave?

THE MACE

The Mace being used in today's Commencement is an exact replica of that used for the University of Minnesota Commencements. The word "mace" is from Middle English and was originally used to refer to the implement for breaking armor during the Middle Ages. Today its use is much more peaceful, for it now is a staff borne by, carried before, or placed near a dignitary as an ensign of his dignity and authority. First designed in 1961 for the inauguration of O. Meredith Wilson, the original mace is made of aluminum and topped by a crystal ball, which symbolizes the illuminating quality and the clarity of thinking that characterizes education. The crystal ball is topped by a star representing Minnesota, the North Star State. The staff, weighing forty pounds, is carried by the most senior professor ofthe college.

THE TORCH

A tradition unique to UMC is the presence of the torch at special ceremonies. It was designed and constructed in 1968, used in the last Commencement of the Northwest School of Agricultur~, and then passed from the student council president to a representative ofthe college Student Senate to symbolize the shift in educational responsibility from the high school to the college. Its light represents knowledge symbolic of the educational philosophy of the University of Minnesota.

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA HYMN

HAIL, MINNESOTA

Minnesota, hail to thee! Hail to thee, our college dear! Thy light shall ever be a beacon bright and clear;

Thy sons and daughters true will proclaim thee near and far; They will guard thy fame and adore thy name; Thou shalt be their Northern Star.

Like the stream that bends to sea, like the pine that seeks the blue, Minnesota, still for thee thy sons are strong and true;

From thy woods and waters fair, from thy prairies waving far, At thy call they throng with their shout and song, hailing thee their Northern Star.
