The motto of Oakland University, "seguir Virtute E Canoscenza,"which
incorporated in its seal, has a distinguished origin, Canro )C(\4, 1. 120, of
Dante's Infem.o.
These are the final words of Ulysses' great speech to his men urging
*rem to sail on and on in pursuit of knowledge and experience of the
world----even beyond the pillars of Hercules, traditionally the frontier and
limit ol legitimate explorarion.
This is the threeline statua:
Consid,erate la uostra semenza
Fatli nonfoste a uiuer come bntti
Ma per seguir uirtute e cznoscenza
Consider your birtb
You uere not made to liue like bnttes
But tofollout courage and knowledge

ONACADEMIC REGALIA
An edifying note contributed by a
certain anon),nnous doctor of philosophy.
On at least two solemn occasions during the academic
calendar-spring and fall commencement-the faculty of the
university publicly displays its
firll academic regalia and participates in the lihrgy of processional and recessional, that
curious coming and going that
symbolizes the ceremony of
corunencement. The purposes
of commencement are well
known, but the reasons for the
pecuiiar garb of the celebrants
and their odd order of march are
often as obscure to the audience
as they are, in fact, to the faculty
itself. This note may serve to
explain academic dress and the
professional pecking order it
costumes.
Contemporary academics are
descendants of clerical schoolmen in the universities of medieval Europe. Like the clergy,
members of the bench and bar,
and other learned professions,
the medieval scholar clothed
himself in heary robes to stay
warm in unheated stone buildings. Like all members of a
hierarchical society, the medieval
faculties rejoiced in visible insignia of rank. These outward
sigrs of accomplishment and
authority were tailored into the
robes. Although the need for
such voluminous garments to
keep the schoiar from freezing is
long past, the use of them as
emblems of dignity remains.
You will observe that all caps
and gowns worn by our faculty
are black, with certain disturbing
exceptions. Black was the color
adopted by mutual agreement
among American universities at
the end of the 19th cenhry. In
Europe each university has its
own distinctive gown, varying in
color and cut from all others. A
European academic assemblage
is a far gaudier occasion than its
counterpart in America. Re'
cently, certain universities in this
country rashly broke the agreement and authorized robes in
their own colors: for example,
the crimson of Harvard and the
green of Dartmouth maybe seen
in our ranks. This unsuitable
spontaneity has been frowned
on by sister institutions, yet the
mavericks not only persist in
their madness, but gain
adherents to their ranks with
each passing year.
There are three basic academic
degrees: the baccalaureate or
bachelor's degree, the mastels
degree, and the doctorate. A
special style of robe is prescribed
for each. The bachelo/s gown is
sparsely cut, neat, but a bit
skimpy and unadomed, as befits
apprentices. The mastels gown
is still simple, but fuller, sports a
sleeve of extraordinary design
impossible to describe, and has a
hood draped from the shoulders
down the back. Once used to
keep the frost from the tonsured
heads of medieval clerks, the
hood now is solely a badge of a
degree of scholarly achievement.
The maste/s hood is small and
narrow but dispiays the colors of
the institution that awarded the
degree. If you knew the colors of
American universities, you could
easily identify whence came our
masters. The doctoral robe is the
most handsome of academic raiment. Generous of cut, of fine
aristocratic stuff, it is faced with
velvet and emblazoned with
veivet chewons on the ample
sleeves. You will note that most
of the velvet facings and chewons
are black, but that some are of
other colors. According to personal taste, the doctor may dispiay
the coior of his doctoral degree on
his sleeves and facings: light biue
for education,pink for music,
apricot for nursing, orange for
engineering, and many more. The
royal blue of the Doctor of Philoso'
phy (Ph.D.) is the most commonly
seen in liberal arts institutions
such as Oakland. The doctols
hood is the most elegant of all
academic appurtenances. l-arge
and graceful, it is lined in satin
with the colors of the university
that awarded the degree and is
bordered with the color of the
degree itself. Most academic
costumes include the square cap
called a mortarboard; the doctols tassel may be either black
tassels of all other
or gold
degrees are biack and stringy.
To instructed eyes, the order of
march in the processional and
recessional reveals the standing
of individuals in the institution's
formal hierarchy. In the processional the order of entrance into
the hall is, quite fittingly, from
most junior to most senior. The
baccalaureate candidates enter
first, followed successively by the
masters and doctoral candidates
with the whole separated from
the faculty by a decent interval.
In the faculty order, the instructors precede the assistant professors who in turn are followed
by the associate professors. The
august full professors bring up
the rear. After a respectful
distance come the dears who in
turn are separated by a significant space from the awfirl majesty of the platform party, the
president, the vice president,
and the members of the board of
trustees. All remain standing untii the board is seated. After the
ceremony, the order of recessionai is the reverse of the processional. The greatest
dignitaries stream out of the hall
first, with the artfully organized
ranks of priority wallowing in
their wake.
It is hoped that these notes
may make more intelligible the
spectacle you are witnessing today. A discerning intelligence
may detect in it many clues to
an understanding of the academic profession as it con{ronts the
ambiguities of the future with
ancient wisdom and dignified
confidence.
