Neu sinat quemquam male consulentern
Discere falsa.
May truth be always precious and preside over us
and may it drive far away all deceit, nor may it
allow anyone with evil intent to learn what is
false.
Quicquid est foedum cohibere, quicquid
lntegrae vitae proprium tueri
Gaudeat virtus studiosa pacis
Visque benigna.
May virtue and courage, eager for peace, together
with well disposed strength, rejoice to restrain
whatever is disgusting and to uphold whatever
belongs to the fullness of life.
Purpura cincti et memores parentum
Cuique nitamur dare iustum honorem

What is graduation?
Our practice of graduation is derived from a tradition which reaches back to at least the
medieval universities of Europe.
Graduates are those who have been admitted to a degree. There is a strict hierarchy of
degrees from "bachelor' through to "doctor". In admitting a person to a degree the degree is
conferred on that person in a somewhat archaic ceremony which is reminiscent ofthe equally
archaic ceremony in which a knighthood is conferred.
What actually happens in a graduation ceremony is along the following lines. The Dean, who
is the person responsible for the academic project in that particular Faculty and who can thus
attest to the achievement of the particular student in reaching the required level, requests the
Chancellor to confer the degree. The student then moves to the Chancellor and kneels before
him. The Chancellor, who is the titular head of the University and who acts in the name of the
University, then confers the degree by holding a ceremonial bonnet to the student's head
while saying "I confer the degree". The student proceeds to the Registrar. The Registrar, who
is the keeper of the records of the student's endeavours, confirms the admission of that
student to a particular degree by placing the appropriate hood over the student's head. There
is a hood for each degree. Hoods differ from each other in colour and shape.
The three basic degrees are Bachelor, Master and Doctor. Bachelor has nothing to do with the
usual meaning "a man who has never married" but with the garland of leaves and berries
(from the Latin bacca lauri, laurel berry) worn by graduands long ago. A Master's degree is
conferred on a person who has achieved the mastery of a specific field of study. "Doctor" is
from the Latin verb "to teach" and is an ancient academic title which dates back to the very
first universities where it implied that the holder had a licence to teach in a university.
Academic gowns are based on the clerical gowns (most scholars in Europe were monks or
priests) worn in the Middle Ages in universities which would have been housed in poorly
heated buildings. The hood is also derived from ancient times when it was attached to the
gown and worn to keep the head warm. When not on the head it was pushed back to look
more or less as it does when worn today.

Rhodes gowns are derived from those of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
Bachelors and Master's wear a black gown of the same design as that worn by Master's of
Arts in the University of Oxford. Doctors of Philosophy wear a scarlet gown of the same
design as that worn by Bachelors of Arts in the University of Cambridge. Bachelor's hoods
are made in an Oxford simple shape. Master's and Doctors' hoods are made in the full shape
of the University of London. Apart from the shape of the hood, the colour indicates the
specific degree. For instance, a BA hood is black lined with white and bound with purple,
while that for a BSc is black lined with bottle green.
The principal officers at graduation wear distinctive gowns. For example, the Chancellor and
Vice-Chancellor wear gowns made of black brocade. The Chancellor's gown is trimmed with
gold lace and the Vice-Chancellor's with silver lace.

Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika

Uit die blou van onse hemel,
Uit die diepte van ons see,
Oor ons ewige gebergtes,

And united we shall stand,
Let us live and strive for freedom,
In South Africa our land.
