Alma Mater The Mackay Song

Words by Jack H. Morse Where the Truckee’s snowfed waters, Drop from mountain’s crest, And the meadows meet the sagebrush, By the sun caressed.

Cradled by the silver mountains, ‘Neath the western blue, Stands our noble Alma Mater, Our Nevada U. As the miner on the desert, Prospects ev’ry place, So Nevada seeks the future With an upturned face.

Ev’rywhere she gathers knowledge, All that’s good and true, Gives she to her sons and daughters, Of Nevada U. We will ever live to serve her, Live to give our best, Live to make our Alma Mater Pride of all the West.

Let her praises wake the echoes, While we pledge anew, Hearts and minds and hands and voices To Nevada U.

Several songs have served as the Nevada alma mater over the years, including “Beside the Waters of the Truckee,” “U of N So Gay” and “Nevada, My Nevada.” The current alma mater, “Mackay Song,” with words by Jack H. Morse, came into use circa 1955, although its official adoption date is unknown. The earliest version of “Mackay Song” in print was included in the 1924 University Songbook.

Academic Dress Academic costumes date to the 11th and 12th centuries with the first organized institutions of learning in Europe. In 1895, the academic institutions in the United States adopted a code of academic dress that gave this country a beautiful and impressive method of signifying scholastic honors. With the exception of revisions in 1932 and 1959, the code has been virtually unchanged since its inception.

MACE. Once a terrible instrument of medieval close combat, the mace has evolved into an ornamental, ceremonial staff borne at the head of processions marking the beginning of a convocation or commencement.

CAPS. The black mortarboard is most commonly used in the United States. The tassel, normally worn in the left front quadrant of the cap, is black, although it may be of the color appropriate to the subject of the degree. The tassel on the doctor’s cap is usually made of gold thread.

GOWNS. The bachelor’s gown has a long, pointed sleeve. The master’s gown has an oblong sleeve open at the wrist (or some older gowns may be open near the upper part of the arm). The doctor’s gown is fuller than the others with velvet panels full length on the front and three velvet crossbars on each sleeve in black or in a color distinctive of the subject pertaining to the individual’s degree. The gowns are black except for the doctor’s,

which may be a color representing the institution that awarded the degree. A number of colorful cords and sashes recognizing student achievement and activities are worn by many of the graduates.

HOODS. Academic hoods signify the wearer has received a master’s, doctoral or other advanced degree. The hood, draped over the shoulders and down the back, indicates both the institution granting the degree and the academic area of specialization.

The silk lining of the hood represents the color or colors of the institution from which the degree was received. The higher the degree, the more the lining is revealed.

The level of the degree is designated by the length of the hood and the width of the velvet edging. The master’s hood is three-and-one-half feet long, and the doctor’s is four feet long. (The shorter bachelor’s hood is not given at Nevada.)

The velvet edging is three and five inches in width for the master’s and doctor’s degrees, respectively. The color of the velvet signifies the field of learning, such as orange for engineering, green for medicine and gold for science. For Ph.D. or Doctor of Philosophy degrees, the dark blue color represents mastery of the discipline of learning and scholarship in any field, and is not intended to necessarily represent the field of philosophy.

University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC), a nonprofit organization based on the University of Nevada, Reno campus, offers 50+ affordable, authentic study abroad programs in 24 countries. USAC has empowered students to become globally engaged citizens since 1982, enriching their cultural awareness, academic pursuits, and language proficiencies. Learn more at usac.edu.

JASON GEDDES ’90 ’95

CARMELO URZA ’78

Jason Geddes, a University of Nevada, Reno graduate and former ASUN President, served the people of Nevada throughout a distinguished career that included a term in the Nevada State Assembly and then 16 years as a member of the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) Board of Regents. Of his 10 jobs stretching over 40 years in the workforce, seven of them were working in service of the people of Nevada with the majority of them in green and sustainable fields that were focused on improving the health and quality of life of the residents of Washoe County and the State of Nevada. He was a lifelong Nevadan, born in Winnemucca, attending elementary school in Gabbs, before graduating from Traner Middle School and Sparks High School. His research as a student at the University of Nevada, Reno brought about legislation to prevent toxic spills in Nevada. In his words and actions, in his personal and professional lives, Jason Geddes has been recognized by many as “Nevada personified.”

Carmelo Urza, whose career at the University of Nevada, Reno has changed the lives of young Nevadans and college students across the world, is the founder of the University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC). Established in 1983, USAC originated from an informal exchange between the University of Nevada, Reno, and the University of the Basque Country. Under Urza’s leadership, USAC has grown to offer more than 50 programs in 25 countries, providing immersive experiences that foster global citizenship and cross-cultural understanding. His vision and dedication have enabled more than 10,000 students to participate in USAC programs, with a significant number hailing from Nevada institutions.

He has championed collaboration within the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) and encouraged early exposure to study abroad opportunities in high schools. His legacy continues to enhance the reputation of Nevada’s higher education system and promote the interconnectedness of the world through academic exchanges.
