AT Two O'CLOCK IN THE AFrERNOONCHARLESTON CIVIC CENTER
CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA
~bt atabtmit l}rOttfifiionThe Academic Procession is composed of administrators, honored guests,
faculty, graduates and the College Advisory Board. This procession is led bya marshal, a graduate of West Virginia State College, who seats thegraduates, faculty and platform guests. The faculty enter by academic rankwearing costumes that had their origin in the Medieval English Universitysystem. The costumes were devised to distinguish academic persons fromlay persons, since everyone wore robes or gowns to ward off the cold. Therecession, then, is in reverse order with the platform guest leaving the daisfirst, followed by the graduates and the faculty.
The colors of the academic dress have a significance deeply rooted in thetradition of academic life and are specified by a uniformed code maintainedby the American Council on Education. Caps are black and are usuallymortar boards with tassels. Doctors of Philosophy wear gold tassels usuallyof metallic thread; other degrees wear black or discipline colors.
The bachelors' gown is simple and black with long, pointed sleeves.Masters' gowns, also black, are longer than bachelors. Older gowns havesleeves that terminate at the elbow while those since 1960 have sleevesextended to the wrist. Doctors' gowns are full, with bell-like sleeves. Thefront is marked by velvet panels and the sleeves are marked by three velvetbars. While most gowns are black with black velvet, one variation is toreplace black velvet with velvet in the discipline color. A second variation isa colored gown usually of the university's colors.
All hoods specify the level of degree, the discipline studied and theawarding institution. First, degree level is signified by the size of the hoodwith bachelors' smallest, masters' larger, and doctors' quite large and of adifferent shape. West Virginia State College does not award hoods tobachelors. The width of the velvet trim also conveys the degree. Secondly,the discipline is indicated by the color of the trim edging the hood to formthe throat over the gown. Finally, the color of the hood's lining specifies theawarding institution. The colors are displayed in combinations that aredrawn from heraldry.
The colors of the tassels worn by candidates for baccalaureate degreesrepresent the fields of study in which the degrees will be conferred. At WestVirginia State College the following colors are used to designate the variousdegrees.

The Academic Mace precedes the entire procession. The grand marshalcarries in his hand this ceremonial staff that is used as a symbol ofauthority. Its placement and removal from a place of honor signifies theopening and closing of ceremonial sessions. The mace had its origin in theMiddle Ages, being used first as a weapon by royal bodyguards to protecttheir monarches in processions. Today, the mace is primarily used inacademic processions, particularly in English speaking countries.
The West Virginia State College mace has historical significance in thatit was designed from a spindle from the staircase of West Hall, the secondbuilding erected on this campus. West Hall was built in 1895, and was usedfor various activities. It was located on the present parking lot adjacent toEast Hall and on the West side of Fleming Hall.
The mace was restored by James Huffman when he was AssistantDirector of Admissions at West Virginia State College.
tlCbt :.1MtbalUonThe medallion worn by the President represents the chains of office.
These chains are worn by chief presiding officers of colleges and univer-sities. Such chains may be of plain links with a medallion suspended fromthe lowest point in front. In recent years the chains have been replaced byribbons of velvet denoting the colleges' colors. Incorporated within themedallion is a reproduction of the seal of the College. It is this seal that isimpressed on the diplomas awarded to the graduates ofWest Virginia StateCollege and other official documents.
The medallion is a single piece of crystal, five inches in diameter,designed and created by Cubert L. Smith, class of 1960, retired Professorof Art, West Virginia State College. The seal of the College is etched withan air eraser on the reverse side. This rear etching process enhances theoptics of the seal and makes it a one-of-a-kind piece.

THE NATIONAL ANTHEMOh, say can you see by the dawn's early lightWhat so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thru the perilous fight,O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in airGave proof through the night that our flag was still there.Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet waveO'er the land of the free and the home ofthe brave?

There is a place we love so dear-Its name we'll ever praise and revere'Tis West Virginia State we love-Just one more step from there is Heav'n above.
REFRAIN:West Virginia's praise we'll sing-Lift our voices 'til heavens ring-As we daily march along-We'll sing a song-For Alma MaterHow we love herPride of all our loyal hearts-From her we will never part-Thoughts of thee will ne'er be fewAlma Mater we love you.
We'll love her more as days go by,And send her praises to the sky;To place her over all the rest,And keep her e'er the dearest and the best.
Shadowed 'neath a deep blue sky;Is STATE for whom we'll live and we'll die-Arise! 0 men of God and sing;We're loyal, and to her we'll always cling.
.tiit lJirginia ~tatt ~olltgtRIbat if Uldt l1ifginia 6tatt ~lltgt? It is all of us who believe
in it-who absent or present, work in it and wish it well. Itsconstituency is the living and dead and from them the Collegeenjoys an unrestrained loyalty and willing service. It is anexponent of truth which sweeps aside the petty jealousies ofmen and all propagandic proposals which would minimize ordepreciate personality. It is an institution containing faultsand defects which challenge the constructive efforts of stu-dents, teachers, officers and graduates. It is incomplete anddesires to remain so, to be in an advantageous position forchanging life situations.
atlJat if Uldt l1irginia 6tatt ~olltgt? It is spirit; it cannot betouched by hand; it is based upon communions between theliving and those who though dead yet live in an immortalitymade practical through enlistments in the College programwhich of necessity requires eternity for completion. What isthe College? You and those graduates ahead of you are theCollege.
