Commencement Program 2014

Forty-Fourth Commencement Schenectady County Community College

Three O’Clock in the Afternoon

Thursday, the Twenty-Second of May Two Thousand and Fourteen Proctors Schenectady, New York

The Mace The mace is the symbol of authority carried by the grand marshal of the academic procession. Originally a club-shaped weapon with an iron ball on the end, carried by knights of the Middle Ages, the mace has gradually gained ceremonial character. Schenectady County Community College’s mace bears as its top a flame symbolizing enlightenment through education. Three statuettes below the flame depict a Mohawk warrior, a Dutch patroon (both representative of groups deeply embedded in the history of the Schenectady area) and a graduate in academic mortarboard. The College seal is carved in relief three times on the panels below the statuettes. The staff is decorated with a depiction of palm branches, symbolic of academic victory. The mace is carved from basswood covered with a walnut stain.

No machinery or sandpaper were used; only steel carving knives, chisels and files.

The College mace was created by Mr. Ernest W. Wagner. The mace was first carried during the College’s Commencement in 1972.

The Academic Costume The traditional black caps and gowns worn by students and faculty in the academic procession have been the historic costume of scholars since medieval times.

Because many scholars of that period were members of monastic orders, the academic costume probably represents an adaptation of the ecclesiastical dress.

A uniform code for academic costumes was drafted by an intercollegiate commission in 1893 and has since been adopted by a majority of colleges and universities in the United States. Each of three academic degrees - Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctorate - has its own distinctive gown and hood. The gown representing the Bachelor’s degree is distinguished by its long, pointed sleeve. The Master’s gown has a longer, narrow closed sleeve, extending below the knee; the arm is passed through a slit in the elbow. In contrast, the Doctoral gown is faced with wide velvet bands.

The most colorful and distinctive item of the academic costume is the hood, which passes around the neck and extends down the back. The Doctoral hood is the largest, and the Bachelor’s is the smallest. The wearer’s field of learning is indicated by the color of the hood.

Schenectady County Community College’s graduates wear a shorter Associate’s degree hood of the College’s colors, blue and gold.
