X provides students with servant leadership opportunities; XI cooperates with other educational institutions to expand learning opportunities for students; XII offers service and other opportunities to the greater community through athletics, continuing education, cultural enrichment programming, and extended-campus education 13 ®lf e (HamphsU Interaity Hart An academic custom that originated in the sixteenth century is part of today's commencement ceremonies The academic procession is led by the Commencement Marshal, carrying the official Mace of Campbell University Although not as ornate as the first Mace presented by Queen Elizabeth I to Oxford University in 1589, the Campbell University Mace is steeped in tradition and purpose The design of the Mace incorporates features signifying the Christian purpose of Campbell University The Mace's boss is a sphere topped by the Celtic Cross and supported by six flanges The Celtic Cross represents the early and continuing faith of the Christians w^ho settled the Cape Fear Region and who were instrumental in establishing Campbell University The sphere represents the world which Campbell University is committed to serve, through sons and daughters of the alma mater, and the daily work of the faculty and staff of the University The flanges represent the support of friends, churches, foundations, institutions, alumni and the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina The seals within the flanges represent the history of Campbell University since its inception in 1887 and are the authority under which the University bestows degrees Originally an instrument for batde, the mace has a fascinating history in academic ceremonies In 1589, the first record of a mace being awarded to a university occurred when Queen Elizabeth I visited Oxford University At a special convocation held in her honor, the students, speaking in Latin, were lavish in their praise and flattery of the Queen, pretending to love her They assumed she was unfamiliar with Latin As a gesture of her thanks, Queen Elizabeth I stood and gave an eloquent speech in flawless Latin and presented Oxford with her royal mace The second record of a mace being presented to a university was in 1629 when King Charles I presented his royal mace to Cambridge Thereafter it became customary, in the British Isles and throughout Europe, for the mace to be used at all ceremonial academic occasions In the United States, the mace came into use during the nineteenth century when academic ceremonies were modeled on European customs and became more elaborate The Campbell University Mace, a gift to the University by the Board of Trustees, was designed by John Satterfield of Greenville, North Carolina Today's bearer of the Mace is J Bryan Boyd, Assistant Professor of Law The Presidential Medallion and Chain were commissioned by the trustees and designed by John Satterfield of Greenville, North Carolina The Chain bears six seals representing the different stages of the academic growth of Campbell University from an academy to a university, along with the seals of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina and Tunku Abdul Rahman College of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia The Medallion represents the design of the University Mace The University Seal is supported by two flanges and supports the Celtic Cross The Presidential Medallion and Chain are symbols of the office of the President of Campbell University 14 2|ijmn LEAD ON, O KING ETERNAL Lead on, O King Eternal, The day of march has come; Henceforth in fields of conquest Thy tents shall be our home; Through days of preparation Thy grace has made us strong And Now, O King Eternal, We lift our battle song Lead On, O King Eternal, We follotu not with fears; For gladness breaks like morning Where'er Thy face appears; Thy cross is lifted o'er us; We journey in its light Thy crown awaits the conquest; Lead On, O God of Might Amen SraWlimi of Acaismtc Attte Academic festivals, like todays commencement ceremonies, have their roots in medieval Europe Medieval institutions of higher learning customarily were operated by monastic orders where students, as well as their instructors, wore monks' habits In 1321, the University of Coimbra (Portugal) required all bachelors, licentiates (masters), and doctors of theology to wear monastic gowns, the first such recorded injunction It is still the custom of students and instructors at the ancient universities of the British Isles, Oxford, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and St Andrews, to wear their gowns to lectures and in their daily affairs Originally, the hood was a head covering, the monk's tippet, and was worn by holders of either a master's or a doctoral degree When caps came into fashion during the fifteenth century, the hoods were draped down the back and ornamented with rich silk or velvet linings and edgings The cap was first conferred as a symbol of the master's degree and varied greatly in style from institution to institution Some were stiff, some soft, some square, and still others round All were decorated with a tuft at the center; today's tassel is an elaboration of that tuft The mortarboard style, generally followed throughout the United States, was borrowed from Oxford University, where the fiat-topped cap is customarily worn by those holding the Master of Arts degree In the United States, the practice of wearing academic dress dates from 1754, when King George II chartered King's College (now Columbia University) and transferred the academic regulations from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge Colonial colleges, however, rejected the scarlet robes of the English institutions in favor of black ones as preferred by Puritan clergy During most of the nineteenth century, American colleges and universities had no standard style of academic dress Only rarely did undergraduates wear gowns during commencement exercises Many faculty wore the regalia of the English institutions where they received their degree, while others wore robes of their own, often eccentric, design Few faculty wore hoods and mortarboards These were assumed to be articles of ecclesiastical dress, more appropriate for bishops than professors In 1895, a commission of leading American educators, mostly from the Ivy League colleges, was established to devise a standard for academic attire As a result, black was adopted as the standard for academic robes Undergraduates were required to wear a simple, unadorned black robe with a mortarboard and black tassel Candidates for the degree of Master of Arts were required to wear a simple robe with the sleeves cut through exposing the hands and lower arms Holders of the doctorate were to wear fiill robes with full sleeves Panels of velvet down the front and on chevrons appearing on the sleeves gave them a more richly ornamented appearance The hoods of those receiving graduate degrees vary in shape and size The larger, more heavily decorated hood signifies the doctoral degree The trimming around the edge of the hood varies in color and designates the particular discipline of the degree holder The colors used in the satin linings are drawn, customarily, from the official colors of the granting institution The linings in hoods conferred by Campbell University are orange and black The American Council on Education established official colors for academic fields and include: white for arts and letters; scarlet for theology or divinity; drab for business administration, commerce and accountancy; copper for economics; light blue for education; brown for fine arts; purple for law; lemon for library science; green for medicine; silver gray for oratory; dark blue for philosophy; sage green for physical education; yellow-gold for science; citron for social science; and pink for music ca— 15 IntuEraity drabuatimt ani SEcngmtinn (HmmomsB COMMENCEMENT SERMON Dr Dennis Bazemore Vice President for Student Life Robert B and Anna Gardner Butler Chapel Wednesday, April 25 - 7:30 pm
