purple, Law; green, Medicine; pink, Music Commerce and Accounting is shown by copper edging, Engineering by orange, Fine Arts by brown, Physical Education by sage green, and Theology by scarlet A doctor's robe also has velvet trimmings on the rest of the gown, including crossbars on the sleeve The trimmings may either be black or may match the color of the hood edging Candidates for degrees wearing medallions are honor students Academic caps, or mortar-boards, derive their name from the similarity to the top portion of the mortar-board used by a mason At the University of Paris, teachers placed square, stiff caps on graduates to signify promotion This type of headgear was adopted later by the masters at Oxford and worn on all occasions to demonstrate their independence A clue as to why these Oxford faculty members chose the square mortar-board is given in this 1564 poem " 'Tis square like scholars and their books: The rest are round, but this is square To shew that they more stable are." The rules of many institutions permit the holder of a doctor's degree to wear a gold tassel on the academic cap THE MACE The mace, which is carried by the faculty member leading the academic procession, symbolizes leadership and authority Use of a mace dates back to the 12th century when it was carried by kings' bodyguards Even in more modem times, the mace has maintained some of its ancient function of keeping order The doorkeeper of the House of Representatives has a mace for use in formal House activities The mace carried in UMD's commencement procession has a glass sphere topped by the North Star - a symbol of the state of Minnesota It also has a seal of the University set in the handle THE NATIONAL ANTHEM Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, What 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 air, Gave proof thru' the night that our flag was still there Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? "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 Sons and daughters 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 ... their guests are invited to a reception immediately following the Commencement Ceremony , I ' / UMD 2002 GRADUATE COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM I Prelude Concert UMD Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Mark Whitlock,... audience) Angela Peterson, graduate student in Music V Introduction of Commencement Speaker Chancellor Kathryn A Martin i71 Commencement Address l George R "Rip" Rapp George R "Rip" Rapp is a Regents'...
