America

the

Beautiful

O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain!

America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.

O beautiful for pilgrim feet, whose stern, impassioned stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat across the wilderness!

America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, thy liberty in law.

Notice A professional photographer will photograph each Nazareth graduate as they receive their diplomas. Therefore, we ask all relatives and friends not to crowd the aisles or area in front of the stage in an effort to take such pictures.

THOMAS J. Cray Thomas J. Cray is President and CEO of Veterans Outreach Center, Inc. (VOC), located on South Avenue in Rochester.

Mr. Cray served in the United Sates Navy during the Vietnam War, and was awarded the Vietnam Service Medal (two tours with combat), the Good Conduct Medal, the Meritorious Unit Commendation Medal, the Vietnam Campaign Medal, the Korean Expeditionary Medal, the New York State Service Star, and the New York State Conspicuous Service Cross.

Shortly after he returned from Vietnam, he discovered there was a clear need for services to support Vietnam veterans coping with their wartime experiences, and also to facilitate government benefits claims, and so he created Veterans Outreach Center. Mr. Cray was VOC’s first Executive Director, and he has helped the organization to evolve throughout its 36-year history to meet the contemporary and ever-changing needs of all veterans.

Mr. Cray is past board member and past President of the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, and is a former advisor to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (USDVA) through the Advisory Committee on Homeless Veterans. He has provided testimony to the U.S. House of Representatives Veterans Affairs Committee about Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Homeless Veterans, and also to the House Sub-Committee on Appropriations regarding the plight of homeless veterans.

T he Ac ade mi c Co st u me The Academic Costume that is worn in commencements across the country today originated in the Middle Ages, when a gown and hood were used by scholars to keep warm in unheated buildings.

The outfit was patterned after the prevailing dress of the times. Because a large number of the scholars were clerics, the robes resembled those of the monks. The hoods were fashioned after the monk’s cowl and were attached to the gown so that they might be drawn over the head. Later, when the skullcap as a head covering displaced the hood, it was made separately from the gown. The skullcap evolved into a pointed cap which we recognize today as the mortarboard with its tassel.

Until the end of the Civil War, students at most American universities wore caps and gowns daily.

In 1894, the American Intercollegiate Commission standardized the academic costume, and, as a result, hoods and gowns came to symbolize the type of degree attained.

There are three types of gowns and hoods: Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctor’s. The Bachelor’s gown is made with an open or closed front and has long pointed sleeves. The velvet edging on the hood is the narrowest and least exposed of the three degrees. The Master’s gown is an openfront garment with long closed sleeves. The ends of the sleeves are square on the Master’s gown and the velvet edging on the hood is somewhat wider than on the Bachelor’s hood. The Doctor’s hood has the widest velvet edging of the three, and the gown is an open-front garment with round, bell-shaped sleeves. There are wide, black velvet panels or facings down the front of the Doctorate gown, with three velvet bars upon each sleeve. The velvet on the Doctor’s gown may be the color of the degree, rather than black.

The lining of the hood indicates the colors of the institution conferring the degree. Nazareth College’s colors are purple and gold. The border of the hood indicates the academic discipline in which the degree was earned. Nazareth College awards a Bachelor of Arts degree (white border), a Bachelor of Science degree (gold border), a Bachelor of Music degree (pink border), a Master of Science in Education degree (light blue border), a Master of Science degree (gold border), and a Master of Arts degree (white border), a Master of Social Work degree (yellow border), and a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree (green border).
