The University Charter
The origins of Southern Illinois University Carbondale date to “An Act to Establish and Maintain the Southern Illinois Normal University” approved by
the Illinois General Assembly on March 9, 1869.
The Act defined the new university’s purpose as “to qualify teachers for the common schools of this state by imparting instruction in the art of teaching
in all branches of study which pertain to a common school education in the elements of the natural sciences including agricultural chemistry, animal
and vegetable physiology, in the fundamental laws of the United States and of the State of Illinois in regard to the rights and duties of citizens and such
other studies as the board of education may from time to time prescribe.”
It included provisions for appointment of a Board of Trustees. One of the Board’s first orders of business under the act would be to “advertise for
proposals from localities desiring to secure the location of said Normal University.” The Act required the Board to “locate the institution at such point,
as shall, all things considered, offer the most advantageous conditions. The land shall be selected south of the Railroad, or within six miles north of said
road, passing from St. Louis to Terre Haute known as the Alton and Terre Haute railroad, with a view of obtaining a good supply of water and other
conveniences for the use of the institution.”
The Act defines how buildings would be constructed as well as procedures for selecting students. It assigned a budget of $75,000 for construction of
buildings and for furnishings.
The University Charter displayed on the stage today was bound by alumna Wendy Hale Davis of Austin, Texas, a bookbinder, artist and musician.

ACADEMIC REGALIA
Academic regalia worn by faculty during commencement is based on attire from the 12th- and 13-century universities. Academic dress and accouterments
of this type have been used in the United States since colonial times. To maintain tradition and the conformity of academic symbols, little has changed in
the symbolism of pattern and color since the Middle Ages. In 1895 an intercollegiate commission in the U.S. adopted a standardized code for the use of
academic gowns, hoods, and caps, which included regulating the cut, style, and materials of gowns. In addition, colors, which were to represent the different
fields of learning, were prescribed. Over the years, only minor revisions have been made to the code, which is followed by the majority of colleges and
universities in America, including Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
GOWNS
STOLE OF GRATITUDE
The bachelor’s gown is a comparatively simple style that falls in straight lines
from an elaborate yoke and has pointed sleeves. The master’s gown is similar
to the bachelor’s except for its peculiar arrangement of the long sleeves with
square ends that hang below the elbow. The doctor’s gown is elaborate, fullcut and flowing, and is distinguished by velvet panels down the front and
around the neck and by three velvet bars on the bell-shaped sleeves.
Southern Illinois University Carbondale has incorporated the custom
of the Stole of Gratitude with the 2012 commencement ceremony. This
custom offers an opportunity for graduates to pay thanks to anyone who
has helped them attend or excel in college. This stole is worn during the
commencement ceremony or at another occasion where a presentation
is appropriate. After the ceremony, the new graduate presents the Stole of
Gratitude to someone who provided extraordinary help or support.
HOODS
GONFALONS
Historically, the academic hood was literally a garment to protect the wearer
from foul weather. Today, it is the identifying symbol of the degree and
the length indicates which degree it represents: three and a half feet for the
master’s and four feet for the doctoral degree. Hoods are lined with the
official color of the college or university conferring the degree. The color
of trimming identifies the major field of learning: Maize for Agriculture,
Orange for Applied Sciences and Arts, Brown for Architecture, Drab for
Business, Light Blue for Education, Orange for Engineering, Brown for Fine
Arts, Purple for Law, White for Liberal Arts, Blue for Mass Communication
and Media Arts, Pink for Music, Dark Blue for Philosophy, Peacock Blue
for Public Administration, Salmon for Public Health, Gold for Science, and
Citron for Social Work.
Another symbol used in commencement is the gonfalon. The gonfalon is
a flag or banner that hangs from a crosspiece or frame. It originated in the
medieval states of Italy as an ensign of state or office. The gonfalon is used
in the Southern Illinois University Carbondale ceremony to designate the
various colleges and schools of the institution. In the ceremony, the gonfalon
for each college is carried by the student marshal for that college or school.

CAPS AND TASSELS
The mortar board is the cap generally worn with academic regalia. A long
tassel is fastened to the middle point on the top of the cap. The tassel is
usually the color appropriate to the subject. There is no general rule on the
position of the tassel on the mortar board. However, numerous institutions
have adopted a practice of requiring candidates for degrees to wear the
tassels on the right front side before degrees are conferred and to shift them
to the left side when the degrees are awarded to them.

experience and is a former partner with two international public accounting firms, in addition to being a
former Internal Revenue Service agent. He earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting from SIU Carbondale

individual clients. From 1976 to 1991, Mr. Bailey was a partner with KPMG Peat Marwick, providing tax and
consulting services to financial institutions, insurance companies, energy companies, real estate, government
contractors, investment companies, manufacturers and individuals.
Brocton D. Lockwood, Distinguished Service Award Recipient
Retired Judge Brocton Lockwood’s career as an attorney in private practice and judge spanned four decades.
A native of rural Murphysboro, he earned his bachelor’s degree in political science at Oberlin College in Ohio
and his law degree from Vanderbilt University in Tennessee. Judge Lockwood taught constitutional law at the
SIU School of Law from 1971 to 1976. He served as associate circuit judge in Williamson County from 1978
to 1984. While serving on the bench, he was required to assist the Cook County courts by serving in their
traffic court. Frustrated by the apparent corruption he witnessed in Chicago, Judge Lockwood volunteered
to serve as an undercover investigator for the FBI’s Operation Greylord in the early 1980s. That investigation
resulted in 84 convictions from 92 indictments, including 15 judges and more than 40 attorneys, in addition
to deputies and other court personnel. The undercover investigation was the subject of the 1989 book,
“Operation Greylord: Brocton Lockwood’s Story,” written by Lockwood and Harlan H. Mendenhall, emeritus
journalism professor at SIU Carbondale. After spending more than a decade in private practice in Marion,
he was reappointed to the bench in 2000 in Saline County. Recognizing the impact of the increasing use
of methamphetamine, which represented more than 50 percent of the county’s felony cases in 2004, Judge
Lockwood initiated the Saline County Drug Court that year. Judge Lockwood retired in 2006. He and his
wife Gala, who live near Harrisburg, are active members of the Southern Illinois Parkinson’s Support Group.

The Star Spangled Banner
Alma Mater
O say can you see,
By the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
Through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched,
Were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare,
The bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there.
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free
And the home of the brave?
Hail Alma Mater
Southern to thee
Strong thru the years you
stand triumphantly
Beacon to guide us
Over life’s sea
Light that can never fail us
Hail, Hail to thee
Lyrics and Music by Grover Clarke Morgan
written as a Sophomore while attending
SIU Carbondale in 1934.
Lyrics by Francis Scott Key, 1814
Music by John Stafford Smith, 1780

degree SIU Carbondale graduate. He earned a bachelor’s degree in political science in 1982, and a law degree from the

COLLEGE OF SCIENCE
2011 RICHARD AND DONNA FALVO
OUTSTANDING DISSERTATION AWARD
Dr. Arjun Pathak, who is originally from Nepal, earned his Master’s Degree in physics in 2007 and his doctorate
in applied physics in 2011, both from SIU Carbondale. Prior to attending SIU Carbondale, he earned a bachelor’s
degree in physics, mathematics and chemistry, and a Master’s Degree in physics, from Tribhuvan University in
Nepal. Dr. Pathak’s doctoral research focused on the synthesis and characterization of multifunctional magnetic
materials, expanding scientific knowledge about their properties and leading to the development of new materials.
He made pioneering achievements in novel magnetic materials, predominantly manganese-based Heusler alloys.
In particular, he focused on magnetocaloric materials, which can be used in new cooling technology for nextgeneration refrigeration units that are simpler, more efficient and more environmentally friendly than traditional
cooling devices. Additionally, his research is important for technological devices, such as sensors, permanent
magnets, and magnetic computer storage devices. He defended his dissertation, “Exploration of new multifunctional magnetic materials based on a variety
of Heusler alloys and rare-earth compounds,” in March 2011. He is currently doing postdoctoral research on rare-earth magnetism at the U.S. Department of
Energy’s Ames Laboratory in Ames, Iowa. Advisor: Dr. Naushad Ali
