Commencement Program

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNERO say can you see,—by the dawn's early light,What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,Gave proof thro' the night—that our flag was still there.O say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet waveO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

MARYLAND, MY MARYLANDThou wilt not cower in the dust,Maryland, My Maryland!Thy gleaming sword shall never rust,Maryland, My Maryland!Remember Carroll's sacred trust,Remember Howard's warlike thrust,And all thy slumb'rers with the just,Maryland, My Maryland!I hear the distant thunder hum,Maryland, My Maryland!The Old Line bugle, fife and drum,Maryland, My Maryland!Come to thine own heroic throng,That stalks with Liberty along,And ring thy dauntless slogan song,Maryland, My Maryland!

MARYLAND ALMA MATERHail! Alma Mater!Hail to thee, Maryland!Steadfast in loyaltyFor thee we stand.Love for the Black and Gold,Deep in our hearts we hold,Singing, thy praise forever,Throughout the land.

THE ACADEMIC COSTUMEThe black caps and gowns worn by the students and faculty in the academic pro-

cession are of ancient origin. They have been the traditional costume of the scholarsince medieval times and probably represent an adaptation of the ecclesiastical dresssince many of the scholars of that period were members of monastic orders.

An intercollegiate commission in 1893 drafted a uniform code for costumes whichhas since been adopted by the majority of colleges and universities in the United States.Each of the three academic degrees—bachelor, master, and doctor—has its own dis-tinctive gown and hood. The bachelor's gown is distinguished by its long pointedsleeve. The master's gown has a longer, narrow, closed sleeve extending below theknee; the arm is passed through a slit at the elbow. In contrast the doctor's gownhas a full bell-shaped sleeve with three bars of velvet. The opening of this gownis faced with wide velvet bands. The velvet trim may be black or of a color indicatingthe general field of learning of the wearer, for example, blue for philosophy, greenfor medicine, purple for law.

The most colorful and distinctive item of the academic costume is the hood whichpasses around the neck and extends down the back. The doctor's is the largest of thehoods and the bachelor's the smallest. The bachelor's hood is often omitted. Thecolor of the velvet edging indicates the field of learning. The colors of the silk liningexposed in the center of the hood are those of the college or university which con-ferred the degree.

The cap or "mortar board" is uniform in design for all degrees. The tassel maybe either black or the color of the field of learning. The tassel of the doctor's capmay be gold.

Certain institutions in this country and abroad have academic costumes of dis-tinctive color and design.
