Dear Farmingdale State Graduates of the Class of 2011,
On behalf of the Farmingdale State College faculty and staff, members of the College
Council, Foundation Board of Directors, State University of New York Board of Trustees
and the Chancellor of the State University of New York, I bring congratulations on your
graduation. We are very proud of your accomplishments and join with your family and
friends in celebration of your hard work.
You are graduating from a college with a rich tradition on Long Island — Farmingdale is
Long Island's oldest public college, founded in 1912. We are proud of our over 83,000
graduates during our 99-year history. While Farmingdale State was founded as an institute
of agriculture, today it stands as a thriving college of applied science and technology.
Farmingdale State represents a legacy of excellence that you will take with you into a
bright future. I know the attributes that our faculty and staff strive hard to inculcate in all
of our students - communication skills, technological expertise and a strong liberal arts
foundation - will make you proud of your education and enable you to succeed in both
your personal and professional lives. You can go forth with the knowledge that you have
worked hard. Our hearts go with you.
Once again, congratulations on your graduation from Farmingdale State College.
Be proud of your alma mater and keep in touch through your membership in our
Alumni Association.
Sincerely,
W. Hubert Keen
President

COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER: DR. BRUCE STILLMAN
Dr. Bruce Stillman is President of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. A native of Australia, he graduated with a
Bachelor of Science degree with honors at The University of Sydney and a PhD at the John Curtin School of
Medical Research at the Australian National University. He then moved to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
as a Postdoctoral Fellow in 1979 and has been at the Laboratory ever since, being promoted to the scientific
staff in 1981. Dr. Stillman has been Director of the Cancer Center at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory since
1992, a position he still holds. In 1994 he became Director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and was
appointed President in 2003. Dr. Stillman's research focuses on the mechanism and regulation of duplication
of DNA and chromatin in cells, a process that ensures accurate inheritance of genetic information from one
cell generation to the next. He was elected to The Royal Society (UK), the National Academy of Sciences and
the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Stillman was awarded the 2004 Alfred P. Sloan Prize from
the General Motors Cancer Research Foundation and the 2010 Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize from Columbia
University, both with Dr. Thomas Kelly. He is a recipient of the American Cancer Society Basic Science Award
from the Society of Surgical Oncology and the Curtin Medal from the Australian National University. He is
the past co-chair of the Board of Scientific Counselors of the National Cancer Institute and was vice-chair of
the National Cancer Policy Board. Dr. Stillman is a member of the Medical Advisory Board of the Howard
Hughes Medical Institute, the Board of Life Sciences of the National Research Council, the advisory boards for
Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT and the Lewis Sigler Institute at Princeton University,
and the Board of Scientific Advisors of the National Cancer Institute.

THE COMMENCEMENT TRADITION
A tradition that reaches back nearly a thousand years, commencement symbolizes not so much the culmination
of the years of effort on the part of both students and teachers, but rather the beginning - the commencement of a productive social and professional life, and a life of continued learning. The pageantry and symbolism of
commencement are typified by the academic regalia of the participants in the ceremony. Academic regalia is a
visible reminder that the process of intellectual pursuits has historic and honorable antecedents. The dignity
of scholarship in the past remains vital in the present. Originally academic gowns were priestly robes. In part,
they were worn for warmth and protection and their style and colors were rigidly prescribed by the church.
Gowns were an adaptation of the priestly toga and were fur-lined. The hood was worn to protect the tonsured
head of the priest.
In the early American universities, no gowns were worn. It was not until the late nineteenth century that this
medieval tradition was revived to lend color to academic functions. At about the same time, an effort was made
to establish a code so that academic regalia would be somewhat standard. All gowns of masters and doctors are
generally ankle length and closed in front. The master's gown has pointed sleeves that are slit at the elbows. The
doctor's gown has wide lapels of velvet, either black or the color of the scholar's specialization. The sleeves are full
and bell-shaped; there are three velvet chevrons, either black or colored like the lapels. In the past, gowns have
been black silk, but increasingly, gowns are the color of the school granting the degree.
The master's hood is pointed; the doctor's hood is bell shaped. The border of the hood indicates the scholar's
department; the lining emblazons his or her school's colors. The shape and size of the American Hood marks the
degree of the wearer. The lining of the hood is indicative of the institution granting the degree and is usually the
official color or colors of the school. If two colors are used, one is generally arranged as a chevron upon the other.
The velvet trim of the hood indicates the major field of knowledge.
Caps are traditionally black with a long tassel fastened to the mid-point. A doctor's cap may have a tassel of gold
thread. The tassel is worn on the right side until the baccalaureate degree has been conferred; it is then worn
on the left. Medieval universities were more concerned with rank and privilege; academic robes made visible
the social and academic distinctions of the wearers. Certain colors and certain furs were restricted to nobles. In
the leveling process that has characterized the American university, these distinctions have largely disappeared.
Robes now indicate specialization with colors; arts and letters are white; economics is copper; fine arts is brown;
humanities is crimson; law is purple; medicine is green; music is pink; education is light blue; philosophy is
dark blue; physical education is sage green; science is golden yellow; theology is scarlet. Academic regalia, then,
is a recollection of the continuum of intellectual pursuits and a reminder that the process in which we all are
engaged has historic and honorable antecedents connecting us with dignity and traditions of the past which
are alive and sacred in the present.
Traditionally, commencement begins and ends with the academic procession, led by the chief marshal carrying
the mace, which traces its origins to the Roman fasces. The ceremony officially begins with the placing of the
mace before the graduates and ends when the chief marshal retrieves it and leads the recession. The color guard
follows the marshal, with the candidates for degrees marching behind in reverse order of seniority - bachelor's
first, master's next and doctoral third. The faculty follows, also proceeding in reverse order, from assistant
professor to full professor. The final division of the procession is the platform party composed of academic deans,
administrative officers, trustees, honorary degree recipients, and the president. Several years ago, the order was
reversed so that students enter commencement last. This was done to focus attention on our graduating students
and to reflect the College's pride in their achievements.
Throughout their long and proud history, universities have retained and cherished strong ties to their ceremonial
roots. Their faculties and graduates have gloried in the rich imagery and colorful panoply associated with
commencement, one of the oldest continuing rituals in the Western world.
