History of the University

The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth traces its roots to 1895 when the state Legislature chartered the New Bedford Textile School and the Bradford Durfee Textile School in Fall River.

As the region’s economic base shifted from textiles to more diverse manufacturing and service industries, the colleges adapted by diversifying their curricula to respond to the needs of new generations of students. By the middle of the 20th century, the colleges grew rapidly, spurred by the GI Bill and the emerging economic and social advantages of a well-educated citizenry. They evolved into multipurpose institutions that prepared engineers, health care workers, teachers, and business leaders.

In 1962, the Legislature created Southeastern Massachusetts Technological Institute by merging the New Bedford Textile School and the Bradford Durfee Textile School, the first in a series of mergers and acquisitions that form the current day University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. The 710-acre campus in Dartmouth, located between the urban centers of New Bedford and Fall River, was created in 1964. The dramatic campus design was the work of renowned architect Paul Rudolph, then Dean of the Yale University School of Art and Architecture.

The public demand for a comprehensive university provided the momentum in 1969 to transform SMTI into Southeastern Massachusetts University. The University continued to grow through the 1970s when its first residence halls were opened and through the 1980s as research and studio facilities were added. In 1988, the Dion Science and Engineering Building opened, as well as the Cedar Dell Townhouse Complex.

Also in 1988, the Swain School of Design in New Bedford merged with the University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts, strengthening programs in art and artisanry.

The Swain merger added downtown New Bedford art facilities to the University.

In 1991, Southeastern Massachusetts University and the University of Lowell joined the University of Massachusetts, which already had campuses in Amherst, Boston, and Worcester. Thus, Southeastern Massachusetts University became the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.

In 1994, UMass Dartmouth received approval to offer its first Ph.D., in Electrical Engineering. In 1997, construction was completed on the School for Marine Science and Technology, located on 2.6 acres in New Bedford, near Buzzards Bay.

In 2001, the University opened the College of Visual and Performing Arts facility in downtown New Bedford, a structure transformed from a landmark department store into a vibrant arts center located in the city’s historic district. That same year, the University opened the Advanced Technology and Manufacturing Center in Fall River. The 60,000 square foot research center and business incubator facility, now called the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, currently houses a major pharmaceutical firm, 20 start-up technology companies, prototype shops, conference space and laboratories.

Several companies have graduated from the CIE, creating jobs in the region.

In 2002, the University began a major expansion of student housing, growing to 4,500 beds in 2005. This made the University a predominantly residential campus. In 2004, the University opened a new Charlton College of Business building, and recently added a Charlton Learning Pavilion wing. In 2007, the University opened a 22,000 square foot research building, focusing on interdisciplinary science initiatives. The facility is the first at UMass Dartmouth devoted entirely to research. The University now offers 13 doctoral programs.

A major renovation and expansion of the 160,000 square foot Claire T. Carney Library was completed in 2013. The project more than doubled the use of the library by students and won numerous architecture awards for bringing a modern approach to Rudolph’s vision.

Throughout its history, the University has been a national leader in civic engagement, and in 2013 earned a national top 20 ranking among nearly 800 institutions ranked by the Corporation for National Community Service.

In 2016, the University achieved formal doctoral institution status when the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education designated the university as a “Doctoral University–Higher Research Activity.” That same year, U.S. News & World Report ranked the University achieved as a National Tier 1 institution. The University remains the only Massachusetts research university located south of Boston.

In 2010, the University opened its School of Law, the only public law school in Massachusetts. The school has since earned national American Bar Association accreditation.

Academic Regalia

The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and other contemporary institutions of higher learning evolved historically from the great medieval universities in Europe such as those in Bologna, founded in 1088, Oxford in 1167, and Cambridge in 1209.

Originally, the university was a guild of Masters of Arts, and the degree was the token that full membership had been attained. Even as, after “serving his time,” an apprentice was licensed to practice his trade or “master,” so the Master of Arts was certified by his superiors and admitted to the practice of instruction and, therefore, the ceremony marking the occasion was known as “Commencement.”

The term “Bachelor” originally designated a man who was assistant to a small landowner and in medieval times denoted the apprentice as opposed to the master workman. It is uncertain when the title of “Doctor” was established as a degree superior to that of “Master,” but at Bologna it was conferred in Law in the twelfth century, and Paris awarded the degree in Divinity about the same time. There is mention of the “Doctors of the different Faculties” at Oxford in 1184, so that the term was evidently used as a title for those possessing the highest degree of learning soon after the establishment of the first universities.

At that time, everyone–men and women, royalty and commoners–wore gowns; that is, long, full-flowing robes, and the king himself decreed what quality apparel might be worn by whom. After about 1600 they were rarely worn by men other than legal and official personages.

The hood first appeared as a separate article of attire in the thirteenth century, but by 1600 it, like the gown, ceased to be worn at all except by legal, official, academic, and clerical personages.

During the early years of the medieval universities, scholars wore the same general type of clothing as everyone else: gowns, cloaks with hoods attached, or separate hoods and caps. After a while, details of scholars’ apparel were prescribed by university statutes to distinguish the faculties as well as the different degrees of learning. When the fashions of the people changed, scholars kept 4

the original styles both because they were prescribed by university statutes and “because it is honourable and in accordance with reason that clerks to whom God has given an advantage over the lay folk in their adornments within, should likewise differ from the lay folk outwardly in dress.”

In today’s academic procession, the regalia not only contribute pageantry and color, but denote the academic status of their wearers.

The cap, or mortarboard, is worn by all academics upon occasion; but only those who hold an academic degree wear the tassel to their left, and only those who hold the Doctor’s degree are permitted tassels of gold.

Gowns are of three basic patterns: (a) the Bachelor’s gown, of unadorned black and with long pointed sleeves; (b) the Master’s gown, unadorned black but with an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist, square cut with an arc cut away; and (c) the Doctor’s gown, velvet-faced, with bell-shaped sleeves and bars of velvet on each sleeve.

Hoods are of two shapes and lengths, also corresponding to the degree held by the wearer. Their binding or trim is colored to indicate the department or faculty to which the degree pertains, while the lining is decorated in the colors and arrangement characteristic of the institution which awarded the degree.

It should be noted that some institutions depart to a lesser or greater degree from these general rules in the design and execution of their academic regalia.

The Chancellor’s Chain of Office

The Mace

The Chancellor’s Chain of Office, designed and created by College of Visual and Performing Arts faculty, reflects the rich history of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth as well as the current array of its diverse Schools and Colleges. Visually inspired by campus architect Paul Rudolph’s original vision, the Chain of Office incorporates modern contemporary lines echoing the University’s commitment to the future.

The official University seal, the seals of the University’s predecessor institutions, and emblems of the eight existing Schools and Colleges are represented in the medals comprising the chain, which was created of cast bronze and plated in 24-karat gold.

Professors Alan Burton Thompson and Susan Hamlet of the Artisanry Department combined cutting edge computer technology and the oldest of technologies, the hand, to create the chain, which was constructed of more than 60 individual pieces. Full-time Lecturer Charlotte Hamlin of the Textile Design/Fiber Arts program fashioned the blue velvet backing. Full-time Lecturer Reuben Foat of Artisanry’s Furniture Design program assisted in the production process.

The 3-D design software and printer used to create the chain was recently purchased for the College and is now being used to teach digital fabrication classes to undergraduate and graduate students.

The mace, once a terrible instrument of medieval close combat, has come to symbolize the power and authority of an appointed or anointed leader. Many universities, eager to engage in the medieval pageantry reflecting the origins of our earliest universities, have adapted the mace as a ceremonial staff borne at the head of processions traditionally marking the beginning of convocation and commencement.

The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Mace, created by Richard Creighton, Professor of Fine Arts, is the gift of the late Vice Chancellor for Student Services Emeritus, Celestino Macedo, and the late Special Assistant to the President, Norman Zalkind LHD ’81.

Since stepping into the Senior Vice President post in 2000, Ms. Bouyer has been responsible for setting and executing a strategy aimed at aggressively expanding the company’s iconic brands from Transformers to My Little Pony, Nerf, Tonka, Monopoly, and Hasbro Gaming, into key consumer products categories touching every aspect of consumers’ lives.

Working closely with her incredibly talented Global Consumer Products team, Ms. Bouyer has introduced and instituted new practices that have been pivotal in ensuring that Hasbro-licensed products are of the highest quality, are on-trend, and resonate with all demographics from kids to teens, adults, and families. This successful formula can largely be attributed to the connections and relationships that she and the consumer products team have created with both retailers and licensees.

Collectively, these groups have made significant strides in re-inventing, re-igniting, and reimagining Hasbro brands.

From expanding the My Little Pony brand into more than 70 countries and all major consumer products and promotional categories to a continuously growing Transformers consumer products portfolio that has delivered over $12 billion in retail sales since 2014, Ms. Bouyer has been an integral part of Hasbro’s successful licensing division. Hasbro has an exciting entertainment slate, including “Bumblebee” coming in December 2019.

Ms. Bouyer has worked diligently with licensees and retailers to ensure Hasbro’s brands remain consistent on screen, in the aisle, and everywhere in between.

Andrew Tyrrell ’18 / Student Address College of Arts & Sciences

A

ndrew Tyrrell is a 25-year-old from Fall River, Massachusetts, and is the youngest of three children.

After a seven-year undergraduate career at UMass Dartmouth, Mr. Tyrrell is receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science.

Over the course of his career, he has studied a wide variety of topics, from the history and thought of American jurisprudence to the dialectical materialism of Marx and Engels, which ended up as a primary tool in his critical theory-based research projects.

During the course of his undergraduate career, he has been active with the campus theatre company, 20 Cent Fiction, where he performed in the plays Cartoon and the French absurdist classic Rhinoceros, playing the role of curmudgeonly Botard, and was understudy to his good friend James Dooley, who portrayed Jean. Andrew was also a participant in the last One-Act Showcase staged by 20 Cent Fiction, where he played Luka in a stirring rendition of Anton Chekov’s The Boor.

For the past three years, Mr. Tyrrell has been involved with UMass Dartmouth’s student-led newspaper, The Torch, spending this past year as its Editor-in-Chief. During his tenure, Mr. Tyrrell guided The Torch through a steady year that saw one of the few investigative pieces published in recent memory, and was grateful to be along for the ride.

After graduation Mr. Tyrrell plans to pursue a career in communications in the public sector, utilizing the skills he has built as a journalist and political scientist. He intends to apply to graduate programs in strategic communication. He hopes to one day be Governor of Massachusetts.
