“ H e r e W e H av e I d a h o ” 1

Alma Mater, the hope of a pioneer race; You’re fashioned of dreams and of toil, Your walls and your towers by stout-hearted men Were raised from the rock and the soil.

Chorus And here we have Idaho, Winning her way to fame; Silver and Gold in the sunlight blaze, And romance lies in her name; Singing, we’re singing of you, ah, proudly too; All our lives through we’ll go singing, Singing of you, Alma Mater, our Idaho.

2

Now ours is the heritage, rich and so full, The gain of their toil and their tears; And ours is the fruit, and the harvest is ours, Oh, Idaho, gift of the years.

Chorus And here we have Idaho, Winning her way to fame; Silver and Gold in the sunlight blaze, And romance lies in her name; Singing, we’re singing of you, ah, proudly too; All our lives through we’ll go singing, Singing of you, Alma Mater, our Idaho.

S i g n i f ic a n c e o f A c a d e m ic A p p a r e l a n d S y m b o l s o f I n v e s titu r e University of Idaho Academic Mace

University of Idaho President’s Medallions

Maces date to the Middle Ages and symbolize strength and authority. Each is unique and reflects the values and characteristics of the institution. The university’s chief marshal, who leads all academic processions, carries the mace.

The first medallion was created by Idaho artists George and Macky Roberts. The President’s Medallion was first used in 1965 at the inauguration of Ernest Hartung, the University of Idaho’s 12th president.

The medallion’s base is a three-and-a-half-inch disc of pure Idaho silver. Mounted on the base is a disc of native jasper; a sterling silver sunburst is inlaid in the disc. Inside the sunburst is a modification of the Chinese character meaning “mountain,” which features three upward-pointing prongs.

Over the center prong is a gold inlay, thus symbolizing “Light on the Mountain.”

The University of Idaho’s mace, used for the first time at the centennial commencement, is 32 inches long, made of walnut and encircled with bands of Idaho gold and silver in which Idaho garnets and opals have been inlaid. The head is embellished with silver and gold representations of camas plants and syringa flowers. The chair of the university’s Faculty Senate, the marshal of the academic procession, carries the mace in the American tradition, at a 45-degree angle across the chest, while in England, the bearer carries it over the shoulder.

The heavy medallion was worn suspended from a collar woven of Idaho wool, some of which is dyed with dahlia flowers to match the jasper and some of which is from a black sheep.

The second President’s Medallion, worn during commencement by then-President Timothy P. White, was commissioned in 2004. This medallion’s base is a goldleafed university seal and is worn suspended by a chain with gold leaf charms, each representing the presidents who have served the university.

S i g n i f ic a n c e o f A c a d e m ic A p p a r e l a n d S y m b o l s o f I n v e s titu r e University of Idaho Academic Apparel

Hoods

By observing certain features of the academic apparel, it is possible to learn several things about the academic status of the scholar: the level of the degree attained, the branch of learning in which it was earned, and the college or university conferring the degree.

The length of the hood also varies according to the level of degree.

The bachelor’s gown is worn without a hood. A master’s hood is three and one-half feet long, and a doctor’s hood is four feet in length and has panels at the sides. It is from the colors adorning the hood that one can learn two other facts. Lining: the hood is lined with the official color or colors of the college or university conferring the degree (silver and gold, signifying the University of Idaho).

Trimming: the hood is trimmed with velvet of a color appropriate to the wearer’s branch of learning. For example, the trimming for the degree of Master of Science in agriculture is maize, representing agriculture, rather than golden yellow, representing science. (In the case of the Doctor of Philosophy degree, the dark blue color is used, representing the mastery of the discipline of learning and scholarship, regardless of the branch of learning.) Colors associated with the different disciplines are listed below:

Gowns The gowns differ according to the level of the degree. The sleeves are the principal indicator — gowns of bachelor’s have pointed sleeves; those of master’s have oblong sleeves with an arc cut away at the front; and doctors have round, bell-shaped sleeves. Bachelor’s and master’s gowns are untrimmed. Doctoral gowns have distinctive velvet facing down the front and three velvet bars on each sleeve.

The University of Idaho adopted a doctoral gown of its own in 1989. The silver gown has a panel and sleeve bars of black velvet outlined in antique gold. The beret-styled soft cap is patterned after the Cambridge version instead of the traditional Oxford-style mortarboard.

The cap and gown were designed by Emeritus Professor Edmund Chavez in the university’s centennial year and are worn today by officials and university administration.

U n i v e r s it y o f I d a h o B o i s e Premier Graduate, Research and Professional Development University of Idaho Boise originated in 1910 when an agricultural Extension program was established in Ada County. In 1953, U of I Boise grew with the introduction of teacher education programs, which were expanded in the early 1980s. A cooperative agreement between the university and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game led to the 1963 opening of the Idaho Water Resources Research Institute (IWRRI) with offices in Boise, Moscow and Idaho Falls. Engineering courses were first delivered in Boise in 1988. Agricultural Extension, regional and state personnel, and several university support offices were located in Boise for greater statewide access and service in the early 1990s. In the late 1990s, Idaho WWAMI opened its doors in Boise and all U of I programmatic, advancement, athletics and other efforts in the community were brought together under the umbrella of U of I Boise. In the early 2000s, the College of Art and Architecture began offering courses in Boise, now including the first two years of its bachelor’s degree in architecture. At the same time, the College of Law started offering externship opportunities and is now offering its complete Juris Doctor curriculum in Boise.

The College of Law moved into its permanent Boise-based facility at 501 W. Front Street in 2021 just a few blocks west of the main U of I Boise campus located at the corner of Broadway and Front. These facilities serve the greater SW Idaho community by providing classroom space, housing U of I programs, and by hosting events and meetings for diverse groups of external stakeholders.

Today, students, faculty, researchers and staff work on a variety of topics that include water; natural resources and the environment; education; law; community sustainability and design; family economics; childhood education; pesticide safety and management; food technology, safety and processing; water resources engineering; and public policy.

Excellence at U of I Boise can be measured by the success of the many people we serve across the region and by the quality and achievements of our more than 140 faculty and staff members.

U of I Boise provides southwest Idaho access to all university resources. The center is focused on community impact, regional economic development and supporting university growth.

Strategically located in Boise – the economic and governmental center of Idaho and home to more than 55 percent of the state’s population and business entities – U of I Boise supports teaching, learning, research, medical education and outreach. U of I Boise distinguishes itself through: • Quality programs that accommodate working professionals and full-time students with a focus on professional and workforce development;

• Proactive research for domestic and global solutions;

• Outreach to southwest Idaho’s communities to foster their sustainability, growth and educational access;

• Enduring relationships with alumni and friends to carry forward the proud history and traditions of the University of Idaho.

• Collaborative and interdisciplinary work with the public and private sectors, including other institutions of higher education; and

At U of I Boise, we welcome and respect all people. Diversity and inclusion are the core of community, and we embrace them as our guiding principles. As the Boise location of Idaho's oldest public university, we are committed to serving the region, the state, the nation, and the world.
