Summa Cum Laude – GPA of 3.9 or higherMagna Cum Laude – GPA of 3.7 but less than 3.9

Cum Laude – GPA of 3.5 but less than 3.7Associate degree students are graduated with honors upon achievement of the grade point average as indicated on all semester hours attempted at Eastern and upon completion of a minimum of 60 credit hours.

With High Distinction – GPA of 3.7 or higherWith Distinction – GPA of 3.5 but below 3.7

As a further distinguishing feature, those who are baccalaureate degree candidates for honors wear a maroon sash on which is a white stripe. Candidate honors for this ceremony are based on hours attempted through the spring semester and grades earned through the preceding spring semester.Baccalaureate degree students graduate as Honors Scholars when they complete 18-25 hours of special course work in Honors Program courses, successfully complete and present an honors thesis, satisfy all comprehensive and program requirements for an undergraduate degree from this University, and achieve a cumulative GPA of at least 3.20. Honors Scholars wear a special maroon mortar board at commencement.

Academic RegaliaThe academic regalia you see at Commencement developed from the traditional academic and clerical dress worn at European universities in the middle ages. In the United States, the use of academic regalia dates to the American Colonial period. Until the Civil War, formal academic dress was worn most of the time, by the faculty when teaching, and by the students when studying and attending class. After the Civil War, academic regalia became reserved for ceremonies. In 1893, an Intercollegiate Commission composed of representatives from leading American universities established a system of academic dress – a code of academic regalia, describing cut, style, and colors to indicate fields of learning. A revised code was approved in 1932, and revised again in 1959, by the American Council on Education (ACE). The regalia you see used by Eastern Kentucky University follows this academic regalia code.Doctoral Degree RegaliaDoctoral gowns are similar to specialist’s and master’s gowns, but are noted by three velvet bars, or chevrons. The full sleeves appear more oblong at the end than baccalaureate gowns. Students earning a doctoral degree at EKU wear a gown with three maroon chevrons on the sleeve. The President of the University is the only participant to wear a gown with four chevrons on the sleeve. While doctoral gowns are traditionally black, some universities have designated other colors to be their institutional doctoral gowns. Traditional academic headwear for a doctorate degree is a square velvet mortarboard, or a soft rounded velvet tam, with a gold tassel.

Doctoral hoods have a classic flap cape as well as a cowl and yoke. Maroon and white satin on the inside cowl indicates a doctorate earned at EKU. In addition to these colors on the inside of the EKU hood, there is a maroon outer cape. Doctoral hoods are the largest hood and the velvet trim indicates the field of learning for the doctoral degree. However, if the degree earned (as with most faculty) is a

www.eku.edu 29

Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) the velvet trim of the hood is always dark blue velvet, regardless of the field of learning. If the doctoral degree is an Education Doctorate (Ed.D.) then the velvet on the hood is light blue, indicating the field of study is Education. If the degree is Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.) then the velvet on the hood is apricot, indicating the Nursing field. If the doctoral degree is an Occupational Therapy Doctorate (O.T.D.) then the velvet on the hood is slate blue, indicating the field of study is Occupational Therapy. If the doctoral degree is a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D) then the velvet on the hood is golden yellow, indicating the field of study is Psychology.

Specialist Degree RegaliaA specialist degree requires additional academic work beyond that of a master’s degree. The gown worn by those being conferred with a specialist degree has long oblong open sleeves, but no chevrons. The hood for a specialist degree is as wide as a doctoral hood but has no cape. The hood is silk lined to indicate the institution where the degree was earned. The velvet trim border indicates the field of learning of the specialist degree.

Master’s Degree RegaliaThe master’s degree gown is the same as that worn by the specialist degree recipients. A master’s hood is smaller than a doctoral or specialist hood. It is not as wide and has no cape. The velvet trim border signifies the specific degree and field of learning,

Most of the color and meaning of the regalia is found in the hood worn by the advanced degree holders. These are silk-lined with the color or colors of the institution conferring the degree. The official colors of Eastern Kentucky University are maroon and white. The border of the hood is velvet and its color signifies the field of learning to which the degree pertains as follows:

APRICOT: Nursing. BROWN: Construction Management. DRAB BROWN: Accounting, Business Administration. GOLDEN YELLOW: Psychology, Sciences. LEMON: Library Science. LIGHT BLUE: Counseling, Education. MIDNIGHT BLUE: Justice Studies, Safety, Security Emergency Management. ORANGE: Engineering. PINK: Music. PEACOCK BLUE: Public Administration. SAGE GREEN: Parks & Recreation, Physical Education. SALMON PINK: Community Nutrition, Public Health. SLATE BLUE: Occupational Therapy. WHITE: Humanities.

Baccalaureate Degree RegaliaStudents earning their baccalaureate degree wear a simple black gown with long pointed sleeves. They do not wear a hood and have a basic black mortarboard with a maroon and white tassel. Students who are graduating from the EKU Honors Scholar program wear a maroon mortarboard.

Associate Degree RegaliaStudents earning their associate degree wear a simple black gown with long pointed sleeves. They do not wear a hood and have a basic black mortarboard with a maroon and white tassel.

University MaceThe EKU ceremonial mace serves as a symbol of presidential authority. Consequently the EKU mace is used at formal ceremonies that include the President.

The symbolism of a mace, or academic scepter, being used to represent institutional or regal authority dates to the 14th century when a procession including a mace was a distinctive sign of medieval university officials. Historically, besides being a symbol of rank, royal bodyguards could wield the mace to protect people of authority, when needed. The mace-bearer therefore symbolically precedes the President in the academic procession for his “protection”. Now universities consider the mace to represent their charge that education should be a weapon to protect and proclaim universal constructs of harmony, truth and justice.

At EKU the distinctive honor of being the mace-bearer at formal University ceremonies (commencement, Commencements, and inaugurations) is reserved for the leader of the Faculty Senate.

The EKU Mace used in this ceremony was hand carved in 1960. In each of its four faces is the great seal of the University. Production of the current mace was a cooperative effort involving research by Miss Annie Alvis, supervising teacher in the Laboratory School; carpentry work by Dr. James Masterson, then student shop foreman in the Department of Industrial Arts; and designing, carving, metal enameling and finishing by Mr. Dean Gatwood, a member of the faculty of the Department of Art. Later Mr. Gatwood directed the refurbishing of the EKU Mace.

Charge to the Graduating ClassAs Eastern Kentucky University confers on you the certification of achievement represented by a degree, you take on a new relationship to the University, the Commonwealth and to the greater society. You are now a son or daughter of Eastern. You will be looked upon as an educated person and the nature and quality of your life will reflect both upon you and your Alma Mater. Remember, you are our ambassador wherever you go.

Eastern has succeeded if you have acquired here the ability to think critically and act constructively; if you now have, based on the knowledge of the past, a vision of the future. Moreover, we are further contented if you have developed skills that will be used in the service of humanity. May you have a full life, based upon personal integrity and respect of others. As an educated person you should find no satisfaction with the commonplace in character, attitude and value. By your example you should raise the intellectual and moral tone of soci ety.

The Commonwealth of Kentucky has been a partner in the educational program that has brought you to this fine hour. It has contributed generously to the cost of education in order to prepare you for high service. The need to maintain opportunities and programs of excellence will become more urgent as our soci ety continues to increase in complexity. We are confident you will help ensure that those who follow you will have opportunities equal or superior to those which you have enjoyed. Your appreciation to Eastern Kentucky University can best be expressed by the life that you lead.

The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky homeTis summer, the people are gayThe corn top's ripe and the meadow's in bloomWhile the birds make music all the dayThe young folks roll on the little cabin floorAll merry, all happy and brightBy 'n by hard times come a-knocking at the doorThen my old Kentucky home, good night Weep no more, my ladyOh, weep no more, todayWe will sing one song for the old Kentucky homeFor the old Kentucky home far away. They hunt no more for the 'possum and the coon,On meadow, the hill and the shore,They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon,On the bench by that old cabin door. The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart, With sorrow where all was delight. The time has come when the people have to part, Then my old Kentucky home, good night. The head must bow and the back will have to bend,Wherever the poor folks may goA few more days and the trouble will end,In the field where sugar-canes may grow.A few more days for to tote the weary load,No matter, 'twill never be lightA few more days till we totter on the road,Then my old Kentucky home, good night.

Alma MaterHail to thee our Alma Mater, Faithful guide of youth, Holding high amid the darkness Duty, light, and truth; Still above, the skies attend thee, Still thy stately columns stand, Still thy sons and daughters love thee Sing thy praises o'er the land. All the earth's resplendent beauty Nature gathered here, Rolling lawns and trees and grasses On thy hillsides fair; Happy days within thy shadow, Friends and comrades we have won. Fill our hearts with exaltation For thy work so nobly done. When beloved Alma Mater Memory recalls Other days of youth and laughter In thy gracious halls; When thy sons and daughters scattered Turn again to thee, Still thy lamp is brightly lighting Us afar, that we may see.
