THECOMMENCEMENTCEREMONY

A Perspective Purdue University owes a substantial debt to its medieval predecessors for its commencement ceremony and academic attire. The academic heri-tage that evolved during the Middle Ages provided us with a teaching institution, the university; a method of measuring academic progress, degrees; and a structure for an appropriate ceremony recognizing the student’s achievement, commencement. In June 1875, Purdue University held its first commencement outdoors on the Oval, awarding the Bachelor of Science degree to a class of one. In 1903, commencement was moved indoors to the newly-completed Eliza Fowler Hall. The steady growth of the size of the graduating class necessitated moving the exercises to larger and larger facilities: the Memorial Gymnasium, the Armory, the Field House, and in 1940, to the Edward C. Elliott Hall of Music. The 238th commencement at the West Lafayette campus is being held today for graduates who qualified for their degrees at the end of the current semester. The colorful cer-emony, enacted each year on campuses throughout the world, is the formal climax and recognition of the graduates’ years of study and preparation.

Procession The procession of candidates departs from the Wilmeth Active Learning Center led by the procession marshals. The group begins the tradi-tional walk across campus while the Purdue Bell Tower carillon plays music associated with Purdue University and the State of Indiana. The procession then moves through Hovde Hall and into the lobby of the Edward C. Elliott Hall of Music, where its arrival is announced by a special fanfare. The candidates in each College/School then enter, escorted by a marshal.

Representatives of the faculties of Purdue University enter next, wearing the colorful hoods of the colleges and universities from which they graduated. Leading the platform party into the auditorium is the grand marshal, followed by the president of the University, members of the Board of Trustees, the deans of the colleges/schools, and other members of the University administration.

Academic Attire Graduate candidates for degrees wear a black tassel on the left side of the square Oxford cap, or mortarboard, signifying receipt of a previous degree. At Purdue, the color of the trim on the hood identifies the areas of specialization.

PRELUDE

ORGAN PRELUDE

COMMENCEMENT FANFARE

Alexandre Guilmant (1837-1911) was an organ virtuoso and master of improvisation in France during the Romantic period. He served as organist at St. Sulspice, Notre Dame and Ste. Trinite in Paris. Guilmant was also organ professor at the Paris Conservatory and was one of the founders of the Schola Cantorum. The Sonata in D-minor is dedicated to His Majesty Leopold II. The “Final” movement is in classic ABA form with an extension in D major invoking a procession with cascading scales and fanfares.

J.S. Bach (1685-1750) was a monumentally prolific German composer of the Baroque period, a master of polyphony, and a keyboard virtuoso. Bach wrote over 190 cantatas alone. The Sinfonia is an instrumental piece from the cantata “We Thank Thee, God.” Bach’s penchant for order is exemplified in the exuberant scales and sequences that are intended to lead the listener to feelings of gratitude, joy and optimism.

Jeffry Stearns (M.S. 1988) taught music at West Lafayette Junior/Senior High School for 30 years and is retired from that position. In his time at the school he served as department leader, K-12 Music Communicator, developed and taught courses in Electronic Music and Music Appreciation, taught Music Theory, worked with junior and senior high choristers and orchestra students, and was a mentor for first year music teachers. Mr. Stearns remains Organist and Director of Adult Music at Central Presbyterian Church in Lafayette where he has served since 1986. He also teaches privately and is a Visiting Lecturer in music at Purdue. “The Mace and the Banners” is one of several organ fanfares that Mr. Stearns has written especially for commencement ceremonies at Purdue.

Jeffry P. Stearns, Organist

The works of Louis Vierne (1870-1937) include five organ symphonies as well as numerous smaller works, such as his Four Suites for Organ. “Carillon de Westminster” is from Vierne’s Third Suite and has as its musical motif the melody of the bells of “Big Ben,” the clock in Westminster Cathedral.

Neil Armstrong, the first human to set foot on the moon, and a Purdue University aeronautical engineering alumnus, hitting the Big Bass Drum at Purdue Home Football game. In 1947, Armstrong enrolled at Purdue University on a Navy scholarship to pursue a degree in aeronautical engineering. In 1949 the Navy called him to active duty in the Korean War. As a Navy pilot, he flew 78 combat missions. He received three medals for his military service. In 1952 he returned to his studies and completed his BS at Purdue and an MS in aerospace engineering at the University of Southern California.

Seals are common to all corporate bodies and have been used since ancient times to authenticate documents. They constituted the official signatures of emperors, bishops, and corporations. University seals evolved from those of church corporations. In Europe, the early faculties and student nations possessed seals; in the United States, all colleges and universities have had seals since Colonial days. The current Purdue Seal was officially adopted in 1969 and retains elements of earlier versions, which evolved beginning in 1890. The seal features a stylized depiction of the griffin, the mythological beast with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion. In medieval heraldry, the griffin symbolized strength. The three-part shield represents Purdue’s traditional aims: learning, discovery, and engagement. The seal combines these traditional elements with modern simplicity of design to form one of the most distinctive of university symbols.

The mace has an ancient history as a symbol of authority. Originally giant clubs made of iron and capable of breaking armor, maces were used chiefly by knights. They were also often borne by a royal bodyguard to protect the king in processions. In the course of time, by the 14th century, they assumed more ceremonial functions and lost their warlike appearance, as they began to be decorated with jewels and precious metals. In 1649, the English House of Commons obtained a mace. In 1756, a silver mace was made for the colony of South Carolina; it is still in use in the state capital at Columbia. In the United States House of Representatives, the mace is placed to the right of the speaker. As a symbol of order and authority, a mace is carried before the president and other dignitaries in the platform party in commencement processions. As a reflection of the modern vision of a truly American university, the design of the Purdue Mace embraces sweeping thrusts and counterthrusts to create a vital energy within an otherwise clean, linear aesthetic. The University seal is located in the center of the mace-head; bounding it are two sweeping silver wings.

The medallion identifies members of the Purdue University Teaching Academy, a dedicated and dynamic network of scholar-teachers committed to the continual improvement of teaching and learning at Purdue University. Under the auspices of the Office of the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Teaching Academy works with the academic schools, the Center for Instructional Excellence, and others to enrich the educational experiences of the entire Purdue University community. The mission of the Teaching Academy is to provide leadership and serve as a catalyst to enhance and strengthen the quality of undergraduate, graduate, and outreach teaching and learning.

Closely allied with maces and seals as symbols of authority are the collars of office worn by many officials, including chancellors and presidents of universities. Collars usually include a medallion inscribed with the seal of the institution and are worn over the academic gown on public occasions, particularly at commencements. Located in the center of Purdue’s Presidential Medallion is the three-part “heraldic shield” and griffin, the symbol which has existed throughout Purdue’s long history of University seals. The medallion, as well as the mace, was handcrafted from sterling silver, ebony, and gold, using the centuries-old techniques of swedging, forging, hollow-forming, and silver soldering.

The banners, sometimes known as standards or gonfalons (a flag that hangs from a crosspiece or frame), originated in the medieval republics of Italy as an ensign of state or office. They have been adopted in many universities around the world as school or institutional insignias. The fourteen banners displayed represent the University, the Graduate School, and the twelve undergraduate colleges or schools at the West Lafayette campus. The colors of the University, old gold and black, are joined together in a pattern common to all the banners. The bands are the same colors as the tassels worn on the mortarboard of the college’s or school’s graduates.

Each college or school is represented on its banner by a symbol and two colored bands indicating its major academic discipline.

Purdue’s commencement exercises have been held in many different locations through the years, ranging from a large circus tent on the Oval in the 1880’s to their present site in the Edward C. Elliott Hall of Music. Commencement in the early 1930’s was held in the memorial Gymnasium, now Haas Hall. Limited space for guest seating soon necessitated a move to the larger facilities in the Armory.

An 18-foot, 5,400-pound bronze statue that celebrates the lore and legend of the Purdue Boilermakers now stands next to Ross-Ade Stadium with an inscription that reads; “The year was 1891. A college known for its proud heritage of educating the sons and daughters of the working class began to dominate opponents in football. After a 44-0 thrashing of Wabash College, a headline writer provided inspiration for a most unique nickname. ‘Wabash Snowed Completely Under by the Burly Boiler Makers from Purdue’ chronicled a victory by the ‘Herculean wearers of the black and old gold.’ Never intended as a compliment, the insult appealed to the students of the day. The indomitable spirit of the boilermaker is embodied in the tireless laborer you see before you.”

Graduates wearing the student athlete medallion are recognized for their hard work and dedication in balancing their equally demanding academic and athletic commitments. At Purdue, where student-athletes are real students, taking real courses, earning honest grades, this is no small accomplishment, and we applaud their achievement.

The following students in addition to being candidates for a bachelor’s degree, are also candidates for special recognition.


22

DISTINCTION AND HIGHEST DISTINCTIONThe outstanding scholastic achievement of selected professional and undergraduate degree recipients is recognized by awarding the degree “with distinction” or “with highest distinction.” Eligible candidates with superior academic records who are expected to graduate in August are designated as potential candidates for this special recognition at the beginning of the summer session and are so identified in the commencement program. The final determination of those who actually receive this recognition is made at the conclusion of the session and is based upon the final graduation index.

A minimum of 65 credit hours included in the graduation index for the professional or baccalaureate degree and 35 credit hours included in the graduation index for the associate degree, with a minimum graduation index of 3.30 are required for a graduate to be eligible for consideration. The upper 10 percent of the August graduates in each of the various colleges or schools receive degrees “with distinction.” Of the graduates who thus qualify, the upper three-tenths of the professional, baccalaureate and associate graduates receive their degrees “with highest distinction,” regardless of the college or school from which they graduate. The minimum graduation indexes thus determined in May for each college or school are applied for graduation “with distinction” and “with highest distinction” for the subsequent summer session and fall semester. Recognition is evidenced by placing an appropriate notation on the diploma and the academic record. Graduates who are potential candidates for degrees “with highest distinction” wear special gold and black honor cords during the commencement ceremony; those who are potential candidates for degrees “with distinction” wear gold honor cords.

Professional andUndergraduate Degrees

Built in 1872 as Boarding Hall, this was the first permanent building to be erected north of State Street. When Purdue opened in September of 1874, it housed the college dining room, living quarters for new faculty and their families, and the office for Purdue’s second president, Abraham C. Shortridge Also known for a time as Art Hall, when classes in that subject were taught in some of the rooms on the first floor, it was used for the major part of its existence as the women’s residence hall, Ladies Hall. It faced State Street just a few steps east of where Matthews Hall now stands. Ladies Hall was torn down in 1927—one of the first major University buildings to disappear from campus.

PURDUE HONORS COLLEGEThe Purdue Honors College provides an interdisciplinary environment for undergraduate students from across all areas of study. Graduates of the Honors College are recognized with a medallion worn at gradu-ation ceremonies, an honors designation on their diploma, and notation on their academic record. Stu-dents complete an honors enriched curriculum and conduct a scholarly research project. Honors College graduates are noted in the commencement program by the torch beside their name. The torch is the official symbol of the Honors College, reflecting the intent to ignite students’ imaginations.

The Purdue Honors College was established in 2013 with pathways to honors across majors. The Honors College was built on a rich legacy of honors programs at the college and departmental levels. Recognition of students completing honors at the departmental level are recognized via a certificate and notation.

THE PURDUEUNIVERSITY SEALTHE PURDUEUNIVERSITY SEAL

The Purdue seal is used as the University’s formal signature — a confirmation of authenticity on all official documents.

The first Purdue seal was designed in 1890. The current seal, designed in 1968 by Al Gowan to retain elements of all eight previous versions, is used on official University documents such as diplomas, letters of acceptance and communication from the Board of Trustees and the president.

Today’s seal features a stylized griffin, the mythological creature with an eagle’s head and lion’s body. In medieval heraldry, the griffin symbolized strength. The three-sectioned shield represents Purdue’s traditional aims: education, research and service.

COMMISSIONS IN THEARMED FORCES

*Designated as a Distinguished Military Graduate

The designation of “Distinguished Military Graduate” (DMG) indicates selected individuals who have demonstrated a particularly high level of achievement while earning both an academic degree and a commission in the Armed Forces of the United States. Criteria used in making the selection include exceptional leadership potential, superior academic performance, outstanding physical fitness and participation in extracurricular activities. Army DMG personnel represent the top 20% of Army ROTC cadets across the nation, based on weighted scores in the following areas: academic GPA, physical fitness, military leadership and proficiency. Air Force personnel represent the top 10% of the graduating class each year based on leadership, academics, and physical fitness. Navy and Marine Corps personnel must be in the top one-third of their graduating class, receive a C or better in all Naval Science courses, and attain a 3.0 or higher GPA. Commissionees so designated receive an appropriately inscribed certificate from their respective service.

Trolley cars and interurban trains were an important part of public transportation during the early twentieth century. Purdue’s program in electrical railway engineering was a leader in the field. This May 1940 photo shows the Purdue interurban test car on its final trip across campus before being retired from service.

The purchase of the locomotive Schenectady and its subsequent testing in special laboratories brought international recognition to Purdue. When it was delivered in September 1891 to a site near the present airport, a university holiday was declared so that the student body could lift the locomotive from the rails, and assisted by three teams of horses, pull it across the wheat fields to the newly built Engineering Laboratory near the present site of Grissom Hall.

A CROSSING OFUNLIMITED OPPORTUNITY

The history of Purdue University is rooted in tradition. “Crossing the Tracks” originated on August 21, 2005 by Purdue Student Government and Purdue Alumni Association. The purpose of this tradition is to welcome our new incoming freshmen into the Purdue family and to instill a sense of completion among our new Alumni, creating two wonderful memories that a Purdue students cherishes for lifetime.

By “Crossing the Tracks” to the South an individual signals the beginning of a life long relationship with Purdue University.

At graduation “Crossing the Tracks” to the North symbolizes entering into a world of unlimited opportunity, afforded, by the foundation of an education at Purdue University.

Thanks to a gift from Jim (ME ’42) and Janet (S’ 43) Rush, “Rush Crossing” - a 30-foot replica of the old Purdue Railroad, has been constructed in Centennial Mall between the Wetherill and Stanley Coulter Halls.

The tradition begins the rst Sunday of Boiler Gold Rush week in August. More than 5,000 freshmen follow Purdue Pete and exit Elliot Hall of Music where a human chain of student and faculty volunteers from such campus organizations as Boiler Gold Rush, Purdue Student Government, Gimlet and the Reamer Club, line the way towards Rush Crossing. On the tracks the Boilermaker special lights the crossing while the new students cross the tracks. The Purdue Cheerleaders welcome the students as they participate in this memorable tradition.

We invite you to be part of the “Crossing the Tracks” tradition and cross Rush Crossing to the north; entering into a world of unlimited opportunity, afforded, by the foundation of an education at Purdue University.
