The Official University Mace
T
he Iowa State University mace symbolizes
the authority of the university president. The
lead faculty marshal carries it at the head of
the academic procession and, by placing it on its
stand, signals the beginning of the commencement
ceremony.
the edge of the disc. Under the disc is a shortened
version or reflection of the
campanile headpiece.
The tiger maple staff bears
14 bronze plaques inscribed
with the names of all previous
Iowa State presidents, their
years of service, and a
laurel leaf symbolizing the
attainment of graduation.
In medieval times, the mace was a studded, clublike
weapon, made of iron. It was capable of breaking
armor, and was associated with the protection of
kings in France and England.
In the 13th century, it was used for civil purposes
and processions. Eventually it became a symbol
for academic institutions, an emblem of order and
authority in the pageantry.
At the staff’s base is an
unfolding bronze leaf
symbolizing the beginning
of a new era for graduating
students. The overall height
of the University mace is
60 inches, and it weighs 14
pounds.
Created in bronze, silver and tiger maple, the Iowa
State University mace incorporates important
campus icons such as the campanile located on
central campus and the Fountain of Four Seasons,
located on the north side of the Memorial Union and
features likenesses of four Native American women.
The sculptures were created in 1941 by Christian
Petersen, sculptor-in-residence from 1934-1955.
Sculptor Jeanne L. StevensSollman of Bellefonte,
Pennsylvania designed and crafted the Iowa State
University mace.
The mace’s bronze headpiece is an interpretation of
the campanile. It includes a silver presidential seal
and reflects in a disc representative of the Fountain
of the Four Seasons. The words “Iowa State
University – Science With Practice” are inscribed on
Private funds from the ISU Alumni Association’s
Circle of Former Presidents, Chairs, and Executive
Directors, the Stanton Carillon Foundation, and the
University Museums made the design and purchase
of the Iowa State University mace possible.
The Presidential Chain of Office
The presidential chain of office symbolizes the rich
history and traditions of Iowa State University and is
worn by the president
at all commencement
ceremonies.
pieces were commissioned by University Museums
and the ISU Alumni Association and are part of
University Museums’ Art on Campus collection.
The front of the presidential chain of office features
an image of the campanile, and Beardshear Hall’s
east portico (the campus home of the president) is
on the back. The shoulder epaulets are the columns
of Beardshear and contain the words Leadership
and Service. The campanile links in the presidential
chain of office contain the words Engagement,
Learning, Discovery and Access. The reverse sides
of the bronze sections have low bas reliefs of corn.
Most pieces in the necklace are bronze. The seal
in the center of the campanile and the links in the
necklace are sterling silver.
It was first worn by
President Gregory
Geoffroy during
the Spring 2008
commencement
ceremonies to mark
the end of Iowa State
University’s year-long
sesquicentennial
celebration.
Created by sculptor
Jeanne StevensSollman–the same
artist who created Iowa State’s mace–the presidential
chain of office complements the mace. The two
Both the presidential chain of office and the mace
are housed in the alumni center and are used at each
commencement ceremony.

Academic Regalia
I
n May 2008, as part of its sesquicentennial
celebration, Iowa State University debuted
custom-designed doctorate regalia.
The square shape of the scholar’s cap or mortarboard
is thought to denote the stability of scholars
and their books as suggested in the old poem,
“The Ballad of the Cap,” first published in 1564.
Candidates for advanced degrees wear black
tassels. The following is a list of tassel colors for
baccalaureate degree candidates:
The special commencement doctorate gowns were
created with emblems and colors to reflect Iowa
State’s tradition and to complement Iowa State’s
hood. The fabric is
cardinal red gabardine
with black velvet panels
and chevrons edged
with gold cording. The
Campanile, a beloved
symbol and University
tradition, adorns each
of the two front velvet
panels. An eightsided black velvet tam
with a gold silk tassel
completes the official regalia.
Agriculture and Life Sciences – Maize
Business – Drab
Design – Brown
Engineering – Orange
Human Sciences – Maroon
Liberal Arts and Sciences
Bachelor of Arts – White
Bachelor of Liberal Studies – White
Bachelor of Music – Pink
Bachelor of Science – Golden Yellow
Veterinary Medicine – Gray
The hood gives color to the academic costume while
its length indicates the wearer’s academic degree.
At Iowa State, hoods are worn by doctorate degree
recipients. Exceptions are made for honorary degree
recipients and other officials of the ceremony. In
general, hoods are made of a wide panel of black
cloth, matching the
gown and are lined
with satin in the official
academic colors of the
institution awarding the
degree.
The ceremony as well as the academic costume at
commencement symbolize the record of academic
achievement of the various individuals taking part
in commencement exercises. The use of academic
costume reaches back to medieval times and the
beginnings of the famed old universities of Europe
and England. Gowns (long, full robes) and cloaks
with hoods were common garb. The unheated
buildings frequented by medieval scholars certainly
were an important factor in the choice of clothing.
A confusing array of caps, gowns, and hoods
emerged from the centuries in Great Britain and
from early years of higher education in the United
States. American institutions recognized the need
for a standard code and the great majority of
academic costumes now worn in the United States
are in accordance with the general provisions of the
Intercollegiate Code of 1895. This code was slightly
revised in 1932 and again in 1959. Under this code,
the bachelor’s gown has pointed sleeves; the master’s
gown has oblong sleeves with an arc at the bottom;
and the doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves.
Iowa State University’s
colors are cardinal and
gold, therefore the top
half of the lining is gold
and the lower part is
cardinal. The colors used
in the edging of hoods
and tassels are associated
with the discipline.
For example, dark blue
represents Philosophy
and all hoods used in
conferring the Doctor
of Philosophy degree at Iowa State University are of
dark blue edging.
The Code dictates that bachelor’s and master’s gowns
are untrimmed. However, the doctor’s gown is faced
down the front with velvet and has three bars of
velvet across the sleeves. The facing and bars may be
black or may be a color pertaining to the discipline.
The color of the commencement gown varies in
other countries. In America, black is typically the
color of choice for bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

Hooding Ceremony, Doctor of Philosophy
The Doctor of Philosophy is the university’s highest
academic degree, awarded only to those who have
successfully completed an intensive and demanding
course of study whose primary focus is on learning
to conduct original research.
research has already contributed significantly to
human knowledge.
The hooding ceremony symbolizes their admission
to the exclusive ranks of those who have earned
the respect associated with the title “Doctor of
Philosophy.”
The final stage of the program is the preparation
and defense of a dissertation that describes the
outcome of a major research project. To prepare for
that project, the student must have gained expertise
and skills in a particular discipline and must have
thoroughly explored its existing knowledge base.
During the hooding ceremony, the degree recipients
are escorted and hooded by their major professors
who have worked with them throughout their study
for the doctoral degree. The hoods will connect
the graduate with a family of scholars throughout
history and from all parts of the world.
Those who receive doctorates have demonstrated
that they are truly experts in their fields whose
Academic Titles
The following provides a brief description for the
academic titles that appear in this program followed
by a list of symbols for each title. Where appropriate,
a symbol will be displayed behind the person’s name.
Distinguished Professor denotes those faculty
members who have been recognized for having
attained outstanding national and international
reputations within their professional disciplines.
An endowed chair or professorship provides special
recognition to the faculty member to whom the title
is awarded. It is held for a specific term, and during
that time, endowment earnings are used by the
university to supplement departmental support of
the faculty member’s scholarship and responsibilities
in teaching, research, outreach, and service. These
chairholders specialize in areas of study identified by
the donors who created the endowments.
University Professor denotes those faculty members
who have been recognized for having made
outstanding contributions to the quality of education
at Iowa State University.

Special Recognition, Advanced Degrees
Candidates for graduation for the Master's or Ph.D.
may be recognized with the Teaching Excellence
Award or the Research Excellence Award.
The Research Excellence Award recognizes those
with outstanding research accomplishments in a
graduate program.
The Teaching Excellence Award recognizes those
who provided outstanding contributions in teaching
undergraduate students while working toward a
graduate degree.
Honorees for both awards wear cardinal and gold
honor cords and are noted in this program as
follows:
§ Research Excellence Award
†† Teaching Excellence Award
Special Recognition, Undergraduate Degrees
Candidates for undergraduate degrees may be
recognized for graduating “With Distinction”
and/or graduating in the Honors Program. Levels
of special academic achievement are indicated in
the commencement program by Latin phrases, also
known as Latin honors. This system is recognized
internationally, however the requirements vary
among institutions. In the United States, Latin
honors are most often awarded to those earning
undergraduate degrees. Each academic institution
sets its own standards and requirements for each
honor.
The University Honors Program is an individually
planned program of study designed to provide
greater depth and breadth of scholarship than the
regular curriculum. Those graduating from the
University Honors Program have designed and
completed an individualized program of study,
including an independent Honors Research Project,
while earning a required minimum grade point
average or better.
Students graduating with special recognition will
wear a cord and/or medallion and be noted in this
program as follows:
At Iowa State University, candidates for graduation
with distinction must have completed 60 semester
credits of coursework at ISU at the time they
graduate, including a minimum of 50 graded credits.
Those graduating summa cum laude (with highest
distinction) have earned a grade point average
of 3.90 or higher; magna cum laude (with great
distinction) have a grade point average of 3.70 to
3.89; or cum laude (with distinction) have a grade
point average 3.50 to 3.69. Grade point averages
are based on a 4.0 scale. In addition to the notation
in the commencement program, this recognition
appears on the official transcript and diploma.
* * *Summa Cum Laude - with highest distinction (cardinal and gold cord)
* * Magna Cum Laude - with great distinction (gold cord)
* Cum Laude - with distinction (cardinal cord)

Additional Recognition, Undergraduate Degrees
The George Washington Carver Scholarship
and Academy is designed for high achieving
multicultural students and supports their growth
and academic success through specialized curricula
and programming. The George Washington Carver
Outstanding Achievement Award is granted to those
scholars who have demonstrated involvement in
a combination of activities such as outstanding
community service and successful internships and
who are graduating with a 3.5 grade point average or
better. These scholars are wearing green stoles.
Iowa State University’s Cardinal Key Honor
Society, formed in 1926, recognizes students who
have achieved the cardinal virtues of leadership,
service, scholarship, and character in the university
community. Undergraduates must be of junior or
senior standing, have earned a minimum cumulative
grade point average of 3.0 and be in the top 15% of
their academic class. Membership is limited to no
more than ½ of 1% of the senior class, and 1/3 of 1%
of the junior class. These students are wearing two
red cords intertwined with a single gold cord.

Iowa State University Traditions
The first swans on Lake LaVerne, Lancelot and
Elaine, were a gift from the 1935 VEISHEA Central
Committee. From that day on, there has been a pair
of swans on Lake LaVerne.
VEISHEA, an all-university spring open house
first organized in 1922, is among the nation’s
largest university student-managed festivals.
The festival got its name from the first letters of
Iowa State’s first colleges: Veterinary Medicine,
Engineering, Industrial Science, Home Economics,
and Agriculture. Two of VEISHEA’s long-standing
traditions are individual cherry pies and the musical
production “Stars Over VEISHEA.”
When Iowa State’s young football team beat
Northwestern University 36 to 0 in 1895, an article
in the Chicago Tribune said, “Northwestern might as
well have tried to play football with an Iowa cyclone
as with the Iowa team it met yesterday.” Thus, the
“Cyclones” were born. Cy the Cardinal became Iowa
State’s mascot in 1954.
In 2003, Iowa State revived a 60-year-old tradition:
the Official ISU Ring. Students and alumni worked
with the ISU Alumni Association and University
Book Store to design a ring that symbolically
captures the uniqueness of Iowa State. Rings may
only be worn by alumni or by students who have
achieved junior or senior status. Rings are officially
presented at an annual ring ceremony.
It is said if you step on the bronze zodiac relief on
the floor of the Memorial Union’s Gold Star Hall, you
will flunk your next test.
The tradition of “campaniling” states that a student
officially becomes an Iowa Stater when he or she is
kissed under the university’s campanile at the stroke
of midnight.
The Fountain of the Four Seasons by artist-inresidence, Christian Petersen (Danish-American,
1885-1961), is located in front of the Memorial
Union and was a gift from the 1937 VEISHEA
Committee. In 1942, Christian Petersen added
four sculptures to represent the four seasons. The
east sculpture represents spring with the planting
of corn; south - summer, sheltering a young plant;
west - fall, holding the harvest; and north - winter,
nursing a child. Legend has it that good luck will
come to you if you throw a coin in the fountain.

Undergraduate Commencement Vocalist
and
F. Wendell Miller Distinquished Artist in Residence
Simon Estes
S
imon Estes is an internationally acclaimed
bass-baritone who has performed in the
world’s major opera houses and in special
performances for U.S.
presidents and international
dignitaries such as Boris
Yeltsin, Yassar Arafat, Yitzhak
Rabin, Nelson Mandela,
and Archbishop Desmond
Tutu. Since 2000, he has
been a faculty member
at Iowa State University,
serving as the F. Wendell
Miller Distinguished Artistin-Residence with the Department of Music and
Theatre, sharing his incredible talents and musical
knowledge with students and at numerous activities
and events.
In 1965 Estes made his operatic debut in Aida at
the Deutsche Opera in Berlin. Among his more than
100 lead operatic roles have been the title role in
The Flying Dutchman at Bayreuth, being the first
male African American to sing a major role on stage
there; the role of Porgy in the Metropolitan Opera’s
first production of Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess; and
the role of Amonasro in Aida with Leontyne Price as
Aida in her “farewell performance” at the Met.
Estes is also internationally known for his humanitarian efforts for children. He established the Simon
Estes Educational Foundation, which has awarded
more than three million dollars in merit-based college scholarships, and the Simon Estes International
Foundation for Children, which provides support for
children’s health and educational needs. In 2006, he
led a group of six Iowa State music faculty members
to South Africa to bring music instruction to the
students of the Estes school in the Cape Town area.
He has performed numerous benefit concerts to help
combat HIV/AIDS and eliminate malaria in Africa.
Estes rose from humble beginnings in Centerville,
Iowa, the son of a coal miner and grandson of a
slave, to become one of the world’s most accomplished opera singers, paving the way for other African Americans in the classical world. He transferred
from Centerville Junior College to the University of
Iowa in 1957 and was there until he was accepted in
the Juilliard School of Music in 1963. Estes has honorary doctorates from numerous colleges and universities, including one from Iowa State University.
Estes has taught at the Juilliard School of Music,
Harvard University, Boston University, and currently is a professor at Iowa State University and at
Wartburg College. Among his many awards are the
Distinguished Iowa Citizen Award, the Iowan Award,
and the prestigious Alumni Award of Iowa State
University.
