THE ACADEMIC PROCESSION
The academic procession is composed of the faculty, staff, officers, trustees and most honored guests of the University. Faculty enter by college and each college is preceded by its marshal, a senior faculty member, with the college baton, described under University Regalia. The college banners are placed on the stage. Each banner is a combination of colors that declare the disciplines taught in that college. These colors, which were established by the American Council on Education, are listed below.
Collegiate faculty follow their marshal in order of academic rank wearing academic costumes of medieval origin. Those who have received their degrees from institutions outside the United States wear costumes specified by the awarding institutions. Academic costumes of faculty whose degrees are from institutions in the United States are specified by a uniform code maintained by the American Council on Education. Caps are black and are usually mortar boards with tassels. Doctors of philosophy wear gold tassels usually of metallic thread; other degrees wear black or discipline colors.
The bachelor’s gown is simple and black with long, pointed sleeves. Masters’ gowns, also black, are longer than bachelors’ gowns. Older gowns have sleeves that terminate at the elbow, while those since 1960 have sleeves extended to the wrist. Doctors’ gowns are full, with bell-like sleeves. The front is marked by velvet panels and the sleeves are marked by three velvet bars. While most gowns are black with black velvet, one variation is to replace black velvet with velvet in the discipline color. A second variation is a colored gown usually of the university’s colors.
All hoods specify the level of degree, the type of discipline studied and the awarding institution. First, degree level is signified by the size of the hood with bachelors’ the smallest, masters’ larger and doctors’ quite large and of a different shape. Clemson does not award hoods to bachelors. The width of the velvet trim also conveys the degree. Secondly, the degree is indicated by the color of the trim edging the hood to form the throat over the gown. The most frequently seen is dark blue, which designates the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree. Finally, the color of the hood’s lining specifies the awarding institution. The colors are displayed in combinations that are drawn from heraldry. Notice that the Clemson University hood is lined with purple through which is an orange chevron (a “V”). Although many combinations are duplicated by dozens of institutions, Clemson is presently the only institution with that registered combination.
The officers, trustees and honored guests wear academic, ecclesiastical or military regalia as set forth by their professions. The president of Clemson University wears a purple gown with four velvet bars piped in orange and the university seal embroidered on the panels. Each trustee wears a similar gown with three velvet bars piped in orange for doctorates and an embroidered palmetto tree on each sleeve for those who do not hold doctorates. Hoods are either from Clemson or from the awarding school. They are preceded by the university marshal. Clad in a gown of office in gold and purple, the marshal wears no hood and bears the university mace. At the ceremony’s close, the faculty do not exit as a part of the recessional but are dismissed, along with students and guests, when the marshal leaves the coliseum. COLLEGE

THE UNIVERSITY REGALIA The university mace is the symbolic representation of the whole
of Clemson University and must be present at any convocation where the University, through its delegated members, is acting officially. At any official convocation such as commencement, the university marshal, carrying the mace, precedes the president into the assembly. The mace rests before the president’s chair or speaker’s stand throughout the ceremony, and its removal from the assembly at the close of a convocation is symbolic of the official withdrawal of the University and, thus, the close of the proceedings.
The decorative design of Clemson’s mace is derived from the ceremonial maces carried by heads of the state and church in the Middle Ages. Its basic club-like shape, however, is much more ancient, probably going back to man’s prehistory. It is made of walnut, wood harvested from trees that once grew on the Clemson campus, and silver, with Clemson’s seal in gold and the university colors represented by insets of carnelian (orange) and amethyst (purple). Amethyst is also the state stone of South Carolina.
The presidential chain and seal is symbolic of the authority vested in the office of president by the governing body of the University. Only the university president may wear it, and while wearing it, he speaks for the whole body of the institution. Clemson’s chain and seal are made of silver and gold, and cornelian and amethyst.
The batons of the college marshals also descend from medieval “staffs of office,” which were carried by the senior members of departments of state or church. They display the University seal and the symbolic color of the discipline to which the college belongs. Clemson’s batons are made of walnut and oak, both woods harvester from trees that once grew on the Clemson campus, and silver with the various disciplines represented on the baton.
The Clemson University regalia were designed and executed by Mr. Robert Ebendorf. Mr. Ebendorf is twice winner of the Tiffany Award and one of the most acclaimed goldsmiths of our era. The enamel plaques for the batons were executed by the late Professor Marshall C Bell, and the lapidary work was executed by the late Mr. C C Wilson of Clemson University.
HISTORICAL STATEMENT Clemson University is named for Thomas Green Clemson
(1807–1888), who left the bulk of his estate to the state of South Carolina for the founding of the institution.
Thomas Clemson was born in Philadelphia in 1807 and educated at the Royal School of Mines in Paris (1828–1832). His early profession was that of a mining engineer; however, circumstances diverted his interests into politics and the life of a southern planter, and he soon became an enthusiastic advocate of scientific agriculture. He had a career as a diplomat (chargé d’affaires to Belgium, 1844–1852) and served as the first superintendent of agricultural affairs in Washington (1860). As a scientist he published numerous articles in the fields of mining, chemistry and agriculture. His varied activities included his assistance in the founding of the Maryland Agricultural College, his support of the Morrill Act, his leadership in South Carolina after the Civil War, and his part in founding Clemson University.
Thomas Clemson was the son-in-law of John C Calhoun, a South Carolina political figure of national importance during the first half of the nineteenth century. Mr. Calhoun’s home, Fort Hill, is preserved on the Clemson campus as a national shrine.
The academic program at Clemson College began in 1893 with an enrollment of 446. The first “college prospectus” announced only two four-year curricula, supplemented by two two-year preparatory courses. Today the University has eight major academic units. These are the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences; the College of Architecture, Arts and Humanities; the College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences; the College of Business; the College of Education; the College of Engineering; Computing and Applied Sciences; the College of Science; and the Graduate School.
Clemson University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award the bachelor’s, master’s, education specialist, and doctoral degrees. Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, GA 30033-4097 or call at 404-679-4500 for questions about the accreditation of Clemson University.
Curricula are accredited by AACSB International (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, American Council for Construction Education, American Dietetic Association (CADE), American Society of Landscape Architects, Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education Programs (CACREP), National Architectural Accrediting Board, National Association of Schools of Art and Design, National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, NRPA/AALR Council on Accreditation, Planning Accreditation Board, and Society of American Foresters. Documentation of accreditation is available in the college deans’ offices.
Clemson is a land-grant institution. As such, it is engaged not only in its primary academic program, but does extensive research at the main campus and at five agricultural experiment stations located in the state. The University is also heavily committed to a varied program of public service, including the work of agricultural extension, which has professional personnel located in each of the state’s counties.
CLEMSON ALMA MATER
Farmer and McGarity/arr. Freeman
Where the Blue Ridge yawns its greatness, Where the Tigers play;
Here the sons of dear old Clemson Reign supreme alway.
Chorus Dear old Clemson, we will triumph
And with all our might,
That the Tiger’s roar may echo O’er the mountain height.
We will dream of greater conquests, For our past is grand,
And her sons have fought and conquered Every foreign land.
Where the mountains smile in grandeur O’er the hill and dale.
Here the Tiger lair is nestling Swept by storm and gale.
We are brothers strong in manhood, For we work and strive;
And our alma mater reigneth Ever in our lives.
