Welcome from Chancellor Linda H. Bunnell On behalf of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, I welcome you to our

Winter 2005 Commencement Ceremony. Commencement is one of our most

time-honored and cherished traditions, one we have practiced for 110 years. The

University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point held its initial commencement ceremony

on June 26, 1895.

"Families, townspeople, faculty and students gathered at 10 a.m . in the

Assembly Hall for this historic occasion. Dr. Benjamin S. Terry of the University

of Chicago presented the address and spoke on the topic 'What is an education?'

Seven members of the class received diplomas in elementary education. "1

Today we will be honoring over 531 s tudents, their families and supporters, as they celebra te this major

achievem ent from a university that now includes four academic colleges offering over 100 program

choices within 50 majors, plus 78 minors and 16 graduate programs. We honor these students, and all

who have made it possible, for their achievements, learning, and rigorous work.

Completing a university degree is a major accomplishment, one not achieved without significant

sacrifices by the students themselves and also by their families, associates, and friends. It is my honor to

present these students to you for your own personal and unique ways of sharing your great joy in their

success on this most special day.

I am confident that the faculty and staff of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point have broadened

the intellectual horizons and contributed to many, many happy memories that will last the lifetimes of

those graduating today. I thank them for their contributions to this day of celebration as well.

It is my p leasure to confer these degrees and to honor our Winter 2005 graduates at this most

magnificent of UWSP traditions.

Sincerely,

~dv~ Lin da H . Bunnell

Chancellor

Phi Kappa Phi Phi Kappa Phi is a national honor society that encourages superior scholarship in all

academic disciplines and recognizes those persons of good character who have excelled

in scholarship. The names of those students who have earned this distinction are noted

in the commencement program.

Undergraduate Honors

The faculty has established a program of academic honors to recognize undergraduate

students for outstanding academic achievement.

There are three levels of undergraduate academic honors, which are awarded on the

basis of grade point average for all courses attempted. Those students graduating Cnm

Lande have achieved an overall grade point average of 3.5 to 3.74; those graduating

Magna Cnm Laude have earned an overall grade point average of 3.75 to 3.89; and those

achieving a Snmma Cum Laude designation have earned an overall grade point average

of 3.9 or above.

25

Special Honor Designations

Teal tassels represent Alpha Kappa Delta, the National Sociology Honor Society.

Red and white honor cords represent Lambda Pi Eta, the Communication Honor

Society.

Blue and white cords are worn by members of the National Residence Hall Honorary,

which focuses on recognition, scholarship, service and leadership in the residence halls.

Colored sashes are worn by students who have spent one or more semesters abroad

and represent the host countries of UWSP's semester abroad program: Australia,

England, France, Germany, Poland and Spain.

Twisted cords of white, black and blue are worn by students who are members of

Academic Regalia

History

The origins of the academic dress date back to the 12th and 13th centuries when

universities were beginning to form. It is still open to question as to whether academic

dress finds it sources chiefly in ecclesiastical or civilian dress. It is often suggested tha t

gowns and hoods were the simplest, most effective method of staying warm in the

unheated, stone buildings which housed medieval scholars.

In the days of King Henry VIII of England, Oxford and Cambridge first began

prescribing a definite academic dress and made it a matter of university control to the

extent of its minor details. The assignment of colors to signify certain faculties was to

be a much later development and one which was to be standardized only in the United

States in the late 19th Century. An Intercollegiate Commission comprised of

representatives of leading institutions met at Columbia University in 1895 and adopted

a code of academic dress which besides regulating the cut and style and materials of the

gowns, prescribed the colors which were to represent the different fields of learning.

In 1959, a Committee on Academic Costumes and Ceremonies, appointed by the

American Council on Education, again reviewed the costume code and made several

changes. In 1986, the committee updated the code and added a sentence clarifying the

use of the color dark blue for the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree.

Pattern. Gowns recommended for use in the colleges and universities of this cow1try

have the following characteristics. The gown for the bachelor 's degree has pointed

sleeves. It is designed to be worn closed. The gown for the master 's degree has an

oblong sleeve, open at the wrist, like the others. The sleeve base hangs down in the

traditional manner. The rear part of its oblong shape is square cut, and the front part

has an arc cut away. The gown is so designed and supplied with fasteners that it may

be worn open or closed . The gown for the doctor 's degree has bell-shaped sleeves. It is

so designed and supplied with fasteners that it may be worn open or closed.

Materinl. As a means of adaptation to climate, the material of the gowns may vary from

very light to very heavy provided that the material, color, and pattern follow the

prescribed rules.

Color. Black is recommended.

Trimmings. Gowns for the bachelor 's or master 's degrees are untrimmed. For the

doctor 's degree, the gown is faced down the front with black velvet; three bars of velvet

are used across the sleeves. These facings and crossbars may be of velvet of the color

distinctive of the disciplines to which the degree pertains, thus agreeing in color with

the binding or edging of the hood appropriate to the particular doctor 's degree in every

instance.

28

The Hood

Linings. The hoods are to be lined with the official color or colors of the institution

which granted the highest degree held by the wearer; more than one color is shown by

division of the field color in a variety of ways such as by chevron or chevrons.

Trimmings. The binding or edging of the hood is to be velvet or velveteen, two inches,

three inches, and five inches wide for the bachelor 's, master's, and doctoral degrees,

respectively; the color should be indicative of the subject to which the degree pertains.

Chancellor~ Medallion and

the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point

Ceremonial Mace

The Chancellor's Medallion and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Ceremonial

Mace were both handcrafted by Henry M. Runke, former chairman of the Art

Department. The Medallion was cast in a 14k gold pendant in 1968 and contains a

purple amethyst to represent the school colors. The four sectioned areas beginning near

the center symbolize the four colleges of the university and terminate as prongs for the

gem. The Mace, carried by the Grand Marshall of academic processions, was completed

in 1976 and has a square base on which important dates from the school's history are

recorded. The most prominent feature is the head of the Mace which is a miniature of

the cupola on Old Main- the school's symbol. The inside of the Mace also contains a

purple amethyst.

Alumni Association

The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Alumni Association welcomes our Winter

2005 graduates to the ranks of University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point alumni. To honor

this occasion, members of the Future Alumni Association will present each new

alumnus with the gift of a UWSP key chain. We hope this will serve as a reminder that,

no matter where life may lead our graduates, they will always have a home at UWSP.

The Alumni Association serves to strengthen the ties between 62,000 Pointer alumni

and their university home. Our alunrni are among this university 's most important

assets and collectively constitute a major force in shaping the reputation of our campus.

The association seeks to help alumni stay in touch with former classmates and friends

who have graduated from UWSP to make their mark, professionally and personally, on

the nation and the world. The association also provides a variety of services to alumni

and friends of UWSP, including the Pointer Alumnus newspaper, alumni reunions,

homecoming, alumni travel, alumni directories and other special events.

All graduates and anyone who has attended UWSP are automatic lifetime members of

the nondues paying association. Support for the Alumni Association is provided in part

by the UWSP Foundation, by proceeds from an alumni endowment and by gifts from

alumni and friends.

All of our alumni share memories of their years at UWSP, and they in turn have

contributed to the success of the campus. We urge you to continue to think of yourself

as a vital participant in the future of your alma mater and always welcome your

support, involvement and ideas.
