Remember the university kindly, for it gave you several years of its very best. The commencement ceremony does not mean a severance of your tie to us or the university’s tie to you. Like a good parent, its love and concern will always be with you, ready to help you in any way possible. Commencement does mean the beginning of a lifetime association with your university, and not only will the university stand with you, but it also looks to you as a torchbearer and the promoter of its spirit. Although we are proud of the beauty of our physical campus, its buildings, grounds and facilities, we take even more pride in our faculty, staff and students. Fort Hays State University is much more than is discernible at any one time. Your university consists of all those who come into its environment, are touched by its concern, its influence and all those who carry forward its spirit. Wherever you go and whatever you achieve, there is Fort Hays State University at work. If the light of our university continues to shine, it must shine through you and all those who have walked our halls, sat in our classrooms and were a part of our total campus community. With a great deal of confidence, we welcome you into this fellowship. We are not here to say “goodbye,” but rather we say “till we meet again.” We do not intend to sever the ties; you may go forth, but not totally away from us.

Full-time teaching faculty became eligible after two years of continuous service on the campus of Fort Hays State University. In 1997, the awards committee of the Alumni Association Board of Directors revised the criteria so that any teaching faculty member would be eligible after three years of continuous service to FHSU. The past recipients would also be eligible to receive this honor again after a five-year waiting period. Finally, the award was to be given to one faculty member irrespective of gender rather than two. Candidates are nominated by members of the graduating senior class on the basis of professional excellence and commitment to outstanding teaching. The recipient is chosen by a committee of seniors, faculty, and Alumni Association Board members. AWARDS Torch Award The coveted Torch Award was established in 1974 by the Alumni Association to recognize one male and one female outstanding senior. In 1991, the awards committee of the Alumni Association Board of Directors revised the criteria to recommend the selection of one senior recipient. Candidates are nominated by members of the faculty on the basis of leadership and academic excellence. A committee of faculty, administrators, and Alumni Association Board members selects the recipient. 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 1989 1988 64 Michelle Webb Andrew Leiker Katie Edwards Joan Dreiling Diane Becker Jason Crist Mitch Hall Jennifer Mayers Rigo Ramirez Rebecca Blocksome Julie Ann Brull Lena Sidders Mardy Robinson Karen E.

Hartman Marcus Bassett FORT HAYS STATE UNIVERSITY AWARDS, ACADEMIC HISTORY AND RECOGNITION Academic History Freda Schwaller, Fred E. Lindley and Ida Shaffer were the first graduates of the Western Branch of the Kansas State Normal School. Final exams and commencement were cancelled in May 1951 after a flood hit the campus on May 22. The graduates were honored at the summer school commencement later that year. Through the years, commencement exercises have been held in Sheridan Coliseum, Lewis Field and Gross Memorial Coliseum. History of the Academic Mace The mace has an ancient history as a symbol of authority. In medieval times it was a studded, clublike weapon. Made of iron and capable of breaking armor, these giant clubs were chiefly used by knights. They were also often borne by a royal bodyguard to protect the king in processions. By the 14th century, maces assumed more ceremonial functions and lost their warlike appearance. They were often decorated with jewels and precious metals. The ceremonial mace stands for lawful power and regal authority. Eventually the Mace also became a symbol for academic institutions, an emblem of order and authority in the pageantry of ceremonial occasions. The first dated record of the ceremonial academic mace goes back to 1385 at the University of Vienna. An academic mace is traditionally carried in procession and mounted on stage whenever degrees are granted or when the faculty is assembled in formal academic dress. During commencement ceremonies at Fort Hays State University, a mace is carried by the University Registrar before the president and other dignitaries in the platform party. The Fort Hays State University mace was designed and crafted by Mr. Dale Ficken, Associate Professor of Art, in late August - September 1969 for the inauguration of Dr. John W. Gustad, the fifth president in the history of Fort Hays State University, on October 5, 1969. University Anthem & Other Songs In the history of FHSU, there have been three different songs that were adopted by general usage. The words and music of the first song, the Kansas State Teacher’s College Hymn, were written by Pearl Sidenius, who was a member of the faculty from 1915 to 1917. Some years later, Dr. Rob Roy Macgregor, 1928-1935 faculty member, wrote the words of a College Anthem which was sung to the tune of “Men of Harlech.” Jack Juergens, a music faculty member from 1948 to 1951, wrote the words and music of a new College Anthem, the third of the songs to be used as the Alma Mater song by students and faculty. This is the same University Anthem that we sing today. Words to the University Anthem can be found on the inside of the back cover. The University Fight Song, used in athletic contests, was adapted from a Northwestern University song. University Colors Soon after President Lewis came to the campus, he suggested that since the official color of the school was old gold (from the previous connection with the Normal School at Emporia) the school ought to adopt an additional color to distinguish it from Emporia. The color suggested was black. This would give the school the colors of gold and black, which would enable it to adopt the tiger as its athletic symbol. President Lewis was from Missouri, where he was, of course, loyal to the Missouri “Tigers.” FORT HAYS STATE UNIVERSITY AWARDS, ACADEMIC HISTORY AND RECOGNITION 65 ACADEMIC HISTORY History of Commencement The First Annual Commencement took place on July 2, 1903 at the Grand Army of the Republic Hall in Hays, after being postponed from May 1903 because one of the graduates could not get back to Hays from Emporia. Flooding prevented the train from making its trip. ACADEMIC HISTORY Academic Regalia The academic apparel worn at commencement ceremonies has its origins in the 12th and 13th centuries when scholars (whether student or teacher) at European universities wore hoods and gowns as their customary, daily attire. The long gowns may have been necessary for warmth in unheated buildings. Since there was a close tie between early universities and the Church, it is not surprising that academic gowns resembled cassocks and elaborate clerical vestments. The American fashion of academic caps and gowns derives mainly from the gowns worn at Oxford University, created by a grant from the Papacy in 1214. Like the gown, the hood differs for the various degrees. The doctor’s hood is the longest and is a fuller shape than the master’s hood and is usually bordered with velvet, the color of which indicates the kind of degree. The hood is lined with silk in the colors of the institution that granted the degree. The edging of the hood is velvet or velveteen, three inches wide for the master’s hood and five inches wide for the doctor’s hood. The length of the master’s hood is 3 ½ feet, and the length of the doctor’s hood is 4 feet. The traditional rule is that a candidate for a degree should not wear the hood of that degree until it is actually conferred. The bachelor’s gown is primarily distinguished by its long pointed sleeves. The master’s gown is similar, except for having oblong sleeves from which the forearm protrudes through a slit near the elbow. The doctor’s gown has rounded sleeves and also has velvet panels around the neck and down the front of the gown, as well as three velvet bars on the sleeves. Gowns for the bachelor’s and master’s degrees are untrimmed. The gown for the doctor’s degree is faced down the front with black velvet. The assignment of colors to signify certain degrees was a later development and was standardized in the United States in the late 19th century. A significant contribution to the development of this system was made by Gardner Cotrell Leonard of Albany, New York. Mr. Leonard designed gowns for his class at Williams College. Hoods are typically worn with the master’s and doctoral gowns. Hoods are permitted to be worn with the bachelor’s gown, but it is customary in many large institutions to dispense with the hood. Originally, the hood was used as a cowl, cape, and— when hung from the shoulder—a sack to collect alms. It is said that when large wigs were in fashion, the cap section of the hood then fell back clear of the wig. This hood style continues to today, with the narrow end of the hood shaped as a neckband connecting the two halves of the cape. Following the publication of an article by him on academic dress in 1893, he was invited to work with an Intercollegiate Commission consisting of representatives of leading institutions of higher education to establish a suitable system of academic apparel. The Commission met at Columbia University in 1895 and adopted a code of academic dress which prescribed the colors to represent the fields of academic learning. In 1932 the American Council on Education (ACE) reviewed and approved the code of academic dress. Again in 1959, the ACE reviewed the costume code and made several changes. In 1986, the ACE updated the code and added a sentence clarifying the use of the color dark blue for the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree. For all academic purposes, the colors associated with the different academic disciplines are as follows: Agriculture- Maize Arts, Letters, Humanities- White Commerce, Accountancy, BusinessDrab Dentistry- Lilac Economics-Copper Education- Light Blue Engineering- Orange Fine Arts, Architecture- Brown Forestry- Russett Journalism- Crimson Law- Purple Library Sciences- Lemon Medicine- Green Music- Pink Nursing- Apricot Oratory (Speech)- Silver Gray Pharmacy- Olive Green Philosophy- Dark Blue Physcial Education- Sage Green Public Admin., Foreign ServicePeacock Blue Public Health- Salmon Science- Golden Yellow Social Work- Citron Theology- Scarlet Veterinary Science- Gray The traditional cap is the mortarboard with black cloth cover. Although it came into popular use in the 16th Century, its origins are clouded. Some believe it is shaped to resemble a book; others claim it is patterned after the mortarboard of a master craftsman or the quadrangle shape of an Oxford campus. The mortarboard has a long tassel that is fastened by a button on the top. The tassel worn at some institutions reflects the color representing the degree earned; however, the tassel worn at Fort Hays State University represents the traditional colors of the university: black and gold. 66 FORT HAYS STATE UNIVERSITY AWARDS, ACADEMIC HISTORY AND RECOGNITION Symbols ACADEMIC HISTORY University Seal The circular seal was originally adopted in 1934. The artist who designed it was Marjorie Meade Jacobs. The college was established on the old Fort Hays military reservation. The building depicted in the seal is the old stone block house, which was a part of the fort. In typical fashion for the building, the seal features a flag pole and hills in the background. In 1992, it was updated for digital purposes by FHSU Creative Director Mary Ridgway. The university seal is exclusively reserved for official documents such as diplomas, transcripts, certificates and ceremonial recognition gifts. Banners and Flags During the processional, a representative from each college carries a banner stating the college’s name. The banner signifies the division of the university colleges. Flags are displayed during the ceremonies in recognition of the graduates’ countries of origin. For 2012, the following countries are represented among FHSU graduates. Algeria Australia Bahamas Botswana Brazil Canada Chile China Germany France Haiti Hong Kong Japan Kenya Mexico Nepal Nigeria Paraguay Peru Saudi Arabia South Korea Vietnam Sweden Taiwan Turkey Uruguay Military flags are also displayed in recognition of those graduates who have served or are currently serving in the armed forces. President’s Medallion In 1969, Dr. John W. Gustad approached Mr. John Thorns, art faculty member, concerning FHSU’s lack of symbols connected with the formality of office, such as a medallion or mace. To rectify this, Gustad commissioned the Department of Art and Design to create three items for his presidential inauguration: a mace, a relief statue and a presidential medallion. The mace, created by Mr. Dale Ficken, is typically used for ceremonial purposes. More information on the mace can be found on page 65. Mr. Jim Hinkhouse designed the relief sculpture, second of the three symbols, which was placed at the back of the room during Gustad’s inauguration. This sculpture has since been destroyed. The presidential medallion was fashioned by Mr. Olli Valanne. Made of silver, this piece of jewelry features a unique design. According to Thorns, the medallion was created “in recognition of the individual who is president.” It is to be used in conjunction with all academic affairs and is worn any time the president of the university wears his academic regalia. The medallion has been passed down to each consecutive president after Gustad and will continue to represent the leadership and FHSU in the future. FORT HAYS STATE UNIVERSITY AWARDS, ACADEMIC HISTORY AND RECOGNITION 67 ACADEMIC HISTORY 1913 1937 1963 1980 2000 University Mascot No one knows for certain how the Tiger came to be FHSU’s mascot, but it may have been the brainchild of W.A. Lewis, the president of the Western Branch Normal School (FHSU). What is certain is that the FHSU symbol made his debut in 1914, when tiger head insignias were first sewn onto school jerseys. In that same year, Ralph Archer, a sports reporter for the Leader, first referred to FHSU students as “Tigers.” The image rapidly gained popularity on campus. In 1919, the yearbook published the first drawing of the mascot. He wore a soldier’s cap, and one of his paws rested on a German war helmet to symbolize the defeat of the Kaiser in World War I. Despite his threatening stance, the Tiger showed no ferocity in his face. He had bulging eyes and an engaging smile from which a curled tongue dangled, giving him the appearance of an oversized pussycat. However, that image changed in 1924, when the Reveille Tiger crouched on all fours and snarled at the readers. This powerful pose was used to introduce the sports pages, and the athletic department used it as a symbol of aggressiveness. The Tiger retained his fierce look through the 1930s, perhaps as a symbol of the tough economic conditions of the Depression. But in 1932, he towered over a herd of American bison on the title page of the Reveille, proving that he refused to be buffaloed by the times. And in the 1937 yearbook, the Tiger served as a background for the top four football players of the year. He seemed to clutch a player in one paw while lashing out savagely with the other. By 1941, the Tiger had become more of a true “college cat” by donning pants and shoes, walking upright, smiling and even holding hands with a coy female feline on the first page of the Reveille. 68 However, the mascot did regain his fighting image in the early 1950s when car decals featured him in a uniform from Custer’s Seventh Cavalry, a sharp saber in his paw and a defiant snarl on his face. In 1963, the best known version of the mascot appeared -- a tiger happily carrying the school banner. This cheerful cat was used to add personality to school shirts, steins and stationery. He could also be seen on road signs just outside Hays and Manhattan pointing the way to his home campus. The Tiger returned to his more serious nature in 1978, when he was featured in a circular logo designed by Jackquie Harris Meitler, Palco art student. The Tiger was drawn as though he were a photographic negative; that is, his black stripes were white, and vice versa. In 1999, President Hammond directed the university’s Integrated Marketing Committee to develop a Tiger. An official new Tiger graphic was created based on the old Tiger head that was emblazoned at that time on the basketball court. After the new Tiger graphic was tested with students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of the university -- and a few tweaks made -- President Hammond unveiled the first official mascot in the university’s long history in a public ceremony during the spring 2000 semester. A few months later, based on suggestions from students, the new mascot was given his name, Victor E. Tiger. Alumnus Larry Dreiling, who played the role of the FHSU mascot as a student, purchased the first Victor E. Tiger mascot suit for the university. On April 3, 2000, the current mascot was unveiled. It is now the only acceptable image of the university’s Tiger. FORT HAYS STATE UNIVERSITY AWARDS, ACADEMIC HISTORY AND RECOGNITION On Campus Students Fort Hays State University’s physical campus is home to an increasingly rich mix of traditional age (18-24 years) and non-traditional age (25-55 years) students from a variety of ethnic, social and cultural backgrounds. Many of the approximately 4,965 on-campus learners are Kansas commuters with a growing number of international students helping to enrich the traditional learning environment. First Generation College Students Fort Hays State University prides itself on first generation college students. Individuals can claim first generation student status if neither one of their parents or guardians possess a four-year degree. Virtual College Students Students who study at a distance using various forms of technology sometimes blended with face-to-face learning approaches are defined at Virtual College students. Sometimes, on-campus students take one or more virtual courses to complement their on-campus learning experience. FHSU uses the virtual learning environment as a strategic asset to offer complete degrees or help retain students, increase graduation rates and deliver professional development training. In addition, this type of learning experience may be used to help internationalize the campus and the curriculum through global delivery of courses and programs. The university’s Virtual College is the delivery vehicle for both domestic and international programming from each of the university’s four academic colleges. Military/Veteran Students There are military programs for both active and inactive military personnel and their spouses. These courses are offered through the Virtual College, providing flexibility to meet the needs of our servicemen and servicewomen. The following branches of the military are currently represented at FHSU: Army National Guard Institute, Coast Guard Institute, ConAP, DANTES, GoArmyEd, Navy College Partnership Distance Learning Partnership, SOCAD, SOCCOAST, SOCCOAST Afloat Institutional Partnership, SOCMAR and SOCNAV. International Students Fort Hays State University hosts approximately 350 on-campus international students each year from over 25 countries. International students are fully blended into the classroom setting, allowing for a greater level of cultural awareness campuswide. This is increasingly important in reinforcing the university’s brand of “Forward thinking, World ready.” The countries currently represented on the campus of FHSU are: Algeria, Australia, Bahamas, Botswana, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Germany, France, Haiti, Hong Kong, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Nepal, Nigeria, Paraguay, Peru, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Vietnam, Sweden, Taiwan, Turkey and Uruguay. International Partnerships Fort Hays State University was the first American university to be approved by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China to offer dual bachelor’s degrees under the framework of the Sino-Foreign University of Cooperation in Running Schools. In Fall 2000, FHSU began offering courses in mainland China to 40 students. Currently, FHSU is serving over 3,600 students at Sias International University in Xinzheng, Henan, and Shenyang Normal University in Shenyang, Liaoning, China. Chinese students complete the degrees in their home country and FHSU conducts a similar graduation at these partner universities.
