Dr. Brian Noland

President East Tennessee State University

Dear Graduates, Today represents a milestone event in your life, for it is the culmination of your hard work and dedication over the past several years. It also represents the beginning of a new journey in your life. Whether that journey leads you back to campus to further your education, or into the workforce to put your skills to the test, it has been enhanced by your experience at ETSU. Today, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect upon the experiences that brought you to this commencement ceremony. Undoubtedly, your own efforts have helped propel you onto this stage. The efforts and support of your family and loved ones, many of whom are with us today to celebrate your success, also played a key role in making today’s celebration possible. In all of the excitement that is graduation day, please do not forget to tell those individuals “thank you” for all that they have done and continue to do to support your endeavors.

I also encourage you to show your appreciation to the faculty and staff who helped you achieve your degree. We are proud of your accomplishments and look forward to hearing where your footprints lead in the coming years. Be sure to stay connected with ETSU and our National Alumni Association.

Additionally, I hope that you can return to campus to take in a performance, attend homecoming, or just walk through our beautiful grounds.

Finally, as you realize this dream of a college degree, I ask that you always share with others the importance of higher education. It is through the power of higher education that we can make the biggest difference in our own lives, our communities, and the world.

Congratulations on this outstanding accomplishment.

Godspeed and go Bucs!

Brian Noland

EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY | 63

Academic Regalia The three academic degrees generally recognized are the bachelor’s, the master’s, and the doctor’s. The name of each degree seems to have been determined by medieval university custom. The bachelor’s degree, the baccalaureate, takes its name directly from the medieval practice of “bachelors” wearing a garland of bayberries. The master’s degree was equivalent to a license to teach, and sometimes was followed by the express words Licentia Docendi. The doctor’s degree was originally a title of respect and a recognition of great learning. Today the doctor’s degree indicates advanced study and independent research in a specialized field of learning, whereas honorary degrees are granted for meritorious service and for distinction in public or private endeavor. In the medieval university, students and teachers wore gowns indicating their status and scholastic achievement.

In 1895, an intercollegiate commission drafted a uniform code for the use of academic caps, gowns, and hoods in the United States. This code is followed by approximately 95 percent of all colleges and universities. In 1932 and 1935 the American Council on Education reviewed and refined the American academic costume.

Those holding a bachelor’s degree traditionally wear a gown of worsted material, fastened at the top, and distinguished by long pointed sleeves hanging nearly to the knees. The master’s gown, worn open, is made either of worsted or silk, and has long closed sleeves with an arc appearing near the bottom and a slit for the arm near the middle of the sleeves. The doctor’s gown, also worn open, is made of silk, faced with a broad strip of velvet, and has three bars of velvet on each sleeve.

A hood may be worn with the gown and is made of the same material. The master’s hood is three and one-half feet long, faced with a three-inch strip of velvet; the doctor’s hood is four feet long, faced with a five-inch strip of velvet. The color of the tassel or the velvet strip on the hood indicates the field of study in which the degree was earned or granted, as for example: Agriculture – Maize; Arts, Letters, Humanities – White; Commerce, Accountancy, Business – Drab; Dentistry – Lilac; Economics – Copper; Education – Light Blue; Engineering – Orange; Fine Arts including Architecture – Brown; Forestry – Russet; Journalism – Crimson; Law – Purple; Library Science – Lemon; Medicine – Green; Music – Pink; Nursing – Apricot; Oratory (Speech) – Silver Gray; Pharmacy – Olive Green; Philosophy – Dark Blue; Physical Education – Sage Green; Physical Therapy – Teal; Public Administration including Foreign Service – Peacock Blue; Public Health – Salmon Pink; Science – Golden Yellow; Social Work – Citron; Theology – Scarlet; Veterinary Science – Gray.

The appropriate cap for all degrees is the familiar black “mortarboard.” A black tassel, or one of a color signifying the field of specialization, hanging to the left of the face, is appropriate for all degrees. Those holding a doctor’s degree may wear a soft velvet cap of the color indicating their field of study, or with the “mortarboard” may wear a tassel in whole or in part of gold thread.

The Presidential Medallion - The presidential medallion is the traditional symbol of office worn at official functions. The design features a torch symbolizing learning; a wreath, symbol of victory, while the star ruby symbolizes excellence.

The Mace - The East Tennessee State University mace is an organic design in forged silver with an ebony handle. The form gives a circular impression, referring to the medieval concept of a heavy armorbreaking club yet losing its warlike appearance by becoming less solid and a more decorative symbol of the university as it encompasses global thinking. A central staff radiates the thrust of the rhythmical branches of the tree of knowledge; the heavier branches representing the well-established disciplines and the more delicate ones the beginnings and growth of the new.

The Flag - The flag of East Tennessee State University is of simple conception, yet representative of the rich heritage of the area and the aspirations of the university.
