ACADEMIC PROCESSIONAL & CEREMONIAL CUSTOMS

The pagean try of commencement is rooted in traditions that are centuries old. The following information is designed to assist you in understanding the significance of these ceremonial rites.

ProcessionalThe academic processional is an official prelude to the commence-ment ceremony. The University marshal leads the procession, bearing the University Mace, which represents the authority of both the University and of the state. Follow ing the University marshal are the members of the platform party including trustees, recipient(s) of honorary degrees, and the president of the University, who wears a medal-lion with inscriptions represent-ing the history of the state and the University. Next come the members of the faculty followed by the degree candidates.

The marching order of candidates customarily reflects the historical order in which the various colleges or schools of the University were established. Led by marshals, the candidates for degrees march in with their respective colleges.

Academic AttireThe academic regalia worn at commencement is of medieval origin. The scholars of Bologna, Paris, Oxford, Cambridge, and Heidelberg dressed in a manner to distinguish themselves from the merchants and other townsmen. When the univer sities first came into being in the 11th century, “learned clerks” robed themselves in gowns, caps, and hoods, thus signifying the distinction between “town” and “gown.” As additional universities came into being, their faculties adopted distinctive forms of the gown and hood for bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees.

These customs are reflected in today’s academic attire. In Europe, a professor generally wears the

type of garment customary in the university where he or she is lecturing. In the United States, however, professors wear the gown and hood of the university where they earned their highest degree. All commencement ceremony participants at The University of Akron are attired in the appro-priate academic apparel. University marshals are distinguished by their blue and gold robes and Elizabethan caps.

Caps and TasselsThe cap, also called the mortar-board, may have been derived from the squarish cap worn by the masons of the Middle Ages, or perhaps was suggested by the shape of the books which occupied so much of the scholar’s time. In the United States, the cap is usu-ally flat and square in shape. In Europe, one sometimes sees caps of other varieties. Attached to a button atop the mortarboard is a tassel; associate’s are often silver in color; bachelor’s and master’s are black or of a color appropri-ate to the college from which the candidate is being graduated; and doctor’s are usually golden.

GownsOriginally, the gown may simply have been a type of overcoat to protect the teacher from the cold in unheated buildings. The cut or style appears to derive from ecclesiastical attire and most often is black. The associate’s and bach-elor’s gowns generally have a closed front and open sleeves. The master’s gown more often has long, closed sleeves, from which the arms extend through a slit at the wrist. The doctor’s gown is

faced down the front with velvet panels and has bell-shaped sleeves adorned with three velvet Bars.

HoodsA triangular fold of cloth worn over the back of the gown, the hood is faced with colors which denote the field of study represented by the wearer’s degree. The colors of the lining indicate the college or aca demic discipline in which the degree is granted. Recipients of the doctor of philosophy degree wear royal blue hoods, and their caps feature golden tassels. Those who have earned the doctor of education degree wear light blue hoods and tassels.

ColorsThe various colleges and academic disciplines of The University of Akron are represented by the following hood and tassel colors:

Black Summit College, Bachelor’s

Dark Brown Creative and Professional Arts

Drab Business

Gold Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering

Green Health Sciences andHuman Services

Light Blue Education

Orange Engineering

Peach Nursing

Purple Law

Silver Summit College, Associate’s

White Arts and Sciences

BannersThe impressive backdrop for the ceremony consists of the banners of the twelve colleges and the Graduate School. Each banner bears the name and founding date of the college it represents. Banners were first instituted at The University of Akron in the spring of 1995.

The University Seal and the Presidential MedallionA seal serves to confirm, ratify, or secure an emblem, symbol, or word that is used to certify a signature or authenticate a document. The use of official seals dates back to the Norman Conquest in 1066. During the next century, seals were used throughout England to authen -ticate documents. Persons of rank had unique seals befitting their status. Most seals were circular or oval-shaped and bore heraldic designs embossed on their faces.

The use of seals became part of academic tradition in the medieval university and continues to the present. The University of Akron, for example, displays its seal on diplomas presented to its graduates.

The coat of arms shown on the University’s seal includes an open book and quill, representative of the University’s original liberal arts curriculum. A lamp of learn-ing shown against a city skyline depicts the University’s metropoli-tan setting. Three diagonal bars represent the private, municipal, and state stages of the University’s history. The phoenix, a mythi-cal bird that is consumed by fire and rises from its ashes to achieve greater glory, is a tribute to the University’s rebirth following the devastating fire of 1899. The seal also displays the original Buchtel College motto, Fiat Lux (let there be light).

The University’s current Presi-dential Medallion, as designed in the year 2000 by renowned art-ist Don Drumm, consists of the University seal, set in a necklace of pewter. Originally, the Presidential Medallion was presented by the Alumni Association in 1970, com-memorating the University’s cen-tennial. The medallion is a symbol of the authority of the president, as bestowed by the Board of Trustees, that traditionally is worn by the president on important ceremonial occasions.

The Ceremonial MaceThe Ceremonial Mace was pre-sented to The University of Akron by the Alumni Association on Founders Day 1970, in recognition of the University’s founding 100 years earlier as Buchtel College.

Since ancient times, maces have been symbols of authority for many academic and govern mental bodies. The University of Akron’s Ceremonial Mace is carried by the University marshal at all formal academic occasions.

The most distinguishing feature of the Cere monial Mace is the ris-ing phoenix. A mythical bird that rose anew from its ashes to achieve even greater glory, the phoenix is a fitting symbol for the University whose predecessor, Buchtel College, suffered a disastrous fire in 1899 and was rebuilt through the generous support of alumni and the community.

HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT

Mr. Ward J. Timken, Jr., will receive the Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters.

MR. WARD J. “TIM” TIMKEN, JR.

At 43 years old, Mr. Timken is chairman of one of the world’s leading producers of highly engineered bearings, alloy steel, components and services. With operations in 27 countries and a work-force of 17,000, The Timken Company posted annual sales of $3.1 billion in 2009, and paid its 351st consecutive quarterly dividend. Under his direction, the company is leveraging its traditional strengths to explore new opportunities in the fields of friction management and power transmission.

A native of Canton, Ohio, Mr. Timken earned a bachelor of arts degree from Georgetown University in 1989 and an MBA from the Darden School at the University of Virginia in 1993. He opened and managed the Washington, D.C., office of McGough & Associates, a Columbus, Ohio-based govern-ment affairs consulting firm. In 1992, he joined The Timken Company and held a number of key posts in Europe and Latin America during the 1990s. Mr. Timken was elected to the board in 2002. He also served as corporate vice president, with responsibilities for strategy development. In 2004, he became president of the company’s steel group, leading it to record levels of profitability. The following year Timken was named chairman.

Approximately 430 University of Akron alumni are employed by The Timken Company and many more are retirees. The company is a strong partner in the University’s co-op program, offering valuable experience to students from diverse majors.

Mr. Timken has enhanced the continuing spirit of partnership between The Timken Company and The University of Akron by supporting The Timken International Scholarship, which makes available full academic undergraduate assistance to the sons and daughters of full-time Timken associates, subsidiaries and retirees outside the United States and Canada, and translates into approxi-mately $250,000 a year to the University. He also has served as a guest lecturer to students in the University’s Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences as well as the Honors College.

An esteemed and respected community leader, Mr. Timken is a past chairman of the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), and has served on the boards of the Ohio Business Development Council, the Ohio Business Roundtable Executive Committee, Team NEO, the Stark Development Board, Canton Country Day School, Firestone Country Club, the Henry and Louise Timken Foundation, the Timken Foundation and the Timken Charitable Trust.

Mr. Timken is the recipient of the AISI’s 2009 Gary Memorial Medal, the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce 2009 Award of Merit, and the 2009 Sales Executive of the Year award from the Akron chapter of Sales and Marketing Executive International.

Mr. Timken resides in Canton with his wife, Jane. They have a son, Henry Clark, and a daughter, Emma Jane.

This statue of John R. Buchtel stands in the middle of the campus he helped found in 1870.

THE ALMA MATER

Chorus

The Alma Mater for The University of Akron was written by the Rev. Augustus B. Church who was the last Universalist clergy to serve as president of Buchtel College (1901–1912). He was also the first person to assume the board responsibilities of chief executive officer. In fact, Church served both as president and as a trustee of the institution — as well as pastor of the First Universalist Church of Akron. Dr. Church understood the importance of higher education as a means to improve society, and he worked diligently on projects to successfully link the educational efforts of Buchtel College with the needs of a growing city. During his presidency, Buchtel College offered the world’s first courses in rubber chemistry (1909).

THE AKRON BLUE AND GOLD

The University of Akron’s fight song, “The Akron Blue and Gold,” was written in 1939 by Fred Waring, nationally known composer and leader of the wildly-popular Band, “Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians.” In response to a request from the University’s student newspaper, Waring wrote “a distinctive song” for The University of Akron. “The Akron Blue and Gold” premiered over his NBC hookup on November 17, 1939, and has been used as the University’s fight song ever since.

This program is not an official graduation list.

While every effort is made to ensure accuracy in this commencement program, printing deadlines sometimes prevent inclusion of candidates’ names, or may result in the use of names of persons not completing graduation requirements. All honors indicated in this program are tentative. Official degree honors for diplomas and tran-scripts will be determined after final grades are reported. This printed program, therefore, should not be used to dete rmine a student’s academic or degree status. The University’s official registry for conferral of degrees is the student’s permanent academic record, kept by the Office of the University Registrar, Simmons Hall, Akron, OH 44325-6208.

The Ohio Universalist Convention established a small, liberal arts college in Akron in 1870 and named it for one of the city’s prominent industrialists, John R. Buchtel. It was Buchtel who led a group of 100 individuals and 13 businesses in a fundraising campaign to build the college. On July 4, 1871, thousands of area citizens turned out to witness the results of that initiative, joining in a great celebration as the cornerstone was laid for a single but impressive structure that constituted Buchtel College. Both a visionary and a pragmatist, Buchtel believed that the vigor of any city is closely tied to the proximity of a high quality institution of higher education. Decades of progress, both for the city and for the college he helped to launch, have proven him right. With an enrollment of approximately 29,300 stu dents from throughout Ohio, the United States, and 84 foreign countries, the successor of Buchtel College is one of the largest principal campuses in Ohio. Long committed to an aca dem ic tradition which stresses excellence, The Univer sity of Akron offers more than 300 associate, bacca lau reate, and master’s degree programs and options, as well as 18 doctoral degree programs and four law degrees. Since 1914, the Univer sity has been accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, and it is currently classified at the highest level as a comprehensive, doctoral-degree-granting institution. Today, nearly 151,000 of its alumni live and work around the world.
