Commencement Day at the University of Connecticut is atime of ceremony and pageantry, embracing traditions

dating back to medieval times.

The University of Connecticut was founded as the StorrsAgricultural School in 1881 when the General Assemblyaccepted a gift of money and land from Charles and AugustusStorrs, natives of Mansfield. In 1893 when it became a land-grant college and officially opened to women, the name waschanged to Storrs Agricultural College. As the mission of theinstitution grew, its name was changed in 1899 to ConnecticutAgricultural College, and in 1933 to the Connecticut StateCollege. At first a small but vigorous college with limitedundergraduate offerings in agriculture, home economics andmechanical arts, with the development of a university programit became The University of Connecticut in 1939. The Graduateprogram began in 1935, and in 1949 the University awarded itsfirst doctoral degrees. The regional campuses were establishedin 1946 to accommodate the influx of veteran students. Today,the University is made up of fourteen different schools andcolleges. Through its administrative Divisions, Institutes, andCenters, the University is a Land Grant and Sea Grant Collegeand a Space Grant Consortium Institution, privileged to servethe citizens of the State of Connecticut, and beyond.

Enormous expansion has taken place over the years together

with increased enrollment. Today, the University has anenrollment of over 32,182 students. At Storrs, there are over19,241 undergraduates and more than 7,098 graduatestudents, representing some 108 nations.

This May, the University will award over 9,210 degrees. Ofthese, approximately 6,417 will be Bachelor’s degrees, 1,944Master’s degrees, 92 Juris Doctor degrees, 56 Master of Lawsdegrees, 98 Doctor of Pharmacy degrees, 43 Doctor of DentalMedicine degrees, 85 Doctor of Medicine degrees, 3 Doctor ofMusical Arts degrees, 15 Doctor of Audiology, 6 Doctor ofEducation degrees, 2 Doctor of Nursing Practice degrees, 27Doctor of Physical Therapy degrees, and 348 Doctor ofPhilosophy degrees. Also to be awarded are 48 diplomas inProfessional Education and 26 Associate’s degrees in the two-year Ratcliffe Hicks School of Agriculture.

The Commencement Ceremony, because of the large number ofgraduates, is divided into separate exercises, by college orschool. The Schools of Dental Medicine and Medicine, locatedin Farmington, and the School of Law, located in Hartford, holdtheir own exercises. The Commencement procession in each ofthe exercises at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs is heralded by theceremonial trumpets, acquired especially for the University’scommencement.

The Academic Gowns, Hoods and Regalia represent morethan elegance or colorful attire. Academic caps and gowns

continue a tradition which reaches far back into the early daysof the oldest universities of the Middle Ages. The earlyEuropean universities were founded by the church; thestudents, being clerics, were obliged to wear prescribed gownsand caps at all times. Caps and gowns were once commonforms of clothing and were retained by the clergy when the laityadopted more modern dress. Though some universities hereand abroad have other colors, the usual color for gowns inAmerica is black. Hoods are lined with the official color of thecollege or university which conferred the degree. The velvetedging of the hood varies in length for bachelors, masters, anddoctoral degrees. The color represents the appropriate degree.Mortar boards (caps) are usually black. The tassel for theBachelor’s and Master’s degree may be of color distinctive to thedegree, and the tassel for the doctoral degree may be made ofgold thread. The gown and hood of the University Marshalwere made specifically for University ceremonies in the officialcolors of national flag blue and white. The ProcessionalMarshals wear blue velvet “beefeater” berets.

The Mace is presented at all academic ceremonies. In medievaltimes maces were weapons of warfare, but today a mace is “astaff borne by, or carried before, a magistrate or other dignitaryas an ensign of his authority.” It is the emblem and symbol ofthe President’s authority to administer the University. This macewas first used at the Inauguration of President Homer D.Babbidge, Jr. on October 20, 1962. It was designed by NathanKnobler, former head of the Department of Art. The University’searly seal, executed in beautiful wood carving, appears on bothfaces. A penny dated 1881 is affixed to it, to commemorate thedate of the University’s founding.

The Baton, carried by the University Marshal, was specificallydesigned for ceremonial activities at The University ofConnecticut and was first used at the Commencement in 1968.The Office of Marshal can also be traced back to the medievalperiod, and the Baton is a symbol of the Marshal’s authority.This Baton has silver mountings and is surmounted by arepresentation of the University’s former seal in enamel, which

itself incorporates the coat of arms of the State of Connecticut.The University Marshal, carrying the Baton, follows the MaceBearer as she leads the academic procession into and out of theplace of ceremony.

The Silver Collar/Medallion, worn by Susan Herbst, President,was first used in 1964, at the time of the University’s SilverAnniversary. Each link on the collar represents one of theUniversity’s Schools or Colleges and consists of a cloisonnécircle engraved with an appropriate design for the particularschool and enameled with its traditional school or collegecolors. Hanging from the chain is a large silver medallioncontaining the University’s early seal.

The Awarding of Degrees at the University of Connecticut isaccomplished by a twofold process. First, the candidates fordegrees of each respective school or college are presented bythe University Marshal. The candidates proceed to the front,receive their diplomas, are congratulated by their administrativeofficers and return to their seats. The School or College Marshalthen officially presents the candidates to the Dean whoacknowledges the candidates and declares the appropriatedegree. Second, when all candidates have been duly presented,the President of the University formally confers the appropriatedegree. This is accomplished verbally at the time that shespeaks the words:

“By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Trustees of TheUniversity of Connecticut, and in accordance with theprocedures and regulations of the University, I confer upon youthe Associate’s Degree, appropriate Bachelor’s Degree, Master’sDegree, or degree of Doctor for which you have been presentedat this One Hundred and Thirty-Ninth Commencement of TheUniversity.”

The Recessional of the officials and faculty is once again led bythe Mace Bearer and University Marshal. The graduates, alongwith the audience, are requested to remain seated until therecessional is concluded.

The official seal of the University of Connecticut depicts theancient and mighty oak. Beautiful and sacred, the venerable

oak symbolizes wisdom, longevity and hospitality. To Aristotle,the oak represented human potential.

The oak holds a special place in Connecticut’s history. In a timelong before statehood, the Connecticut colony’s self-governingstatus was guaranteed by a charter issued by King Charles II ofEngland. When, in 1687, his successor King James II attemptedto reinstate the monarchy’s authority, the Crown’s emissary’sefforts were foiled as the Royal Charter was secretly spirited to atemporary hiding place—a majestic oak in Hartford, foreverafter known as the Charter Oak. The oak became a symbol offreedom worldwide.

The oak has unique meaning for the University as well. In1884, the commencement exercises of the second graduating

class of the Storrs Agricultural School were held in an oak groveon the Storrs campus. This grove, long a favorite gatheringplace for a variety of open-air meetings, served as the spiritualhome to the growing community of scholars.

The University of Connecticut’s graphic interpretation of theoak is a stylized synthesis of two acorns and three oak leaves,representing maturation, intellect and moral strength. The sealis the symbol of a large and diverse institution; it is used by allof the University’s schools, colleges, regional campuses,professional schools and UConn Health. It communicates thebroader mission of the University as a center for the pursuit,the creation, and the sharing of knowledge. The University ofConnecticut, like the mighty oak, is rooted in a proud past andreaches toward a limitless future.
