The handsome mace and chain of office are the gifts of local donors. The two insignia were designed by Ottie Hill Chwalek '61 and executed by a nationally known gold and silversmith, professor Kurt ]. Matzdorf of the State University of New York College at New Paltz, New Paltz, New York. The College Mace THE Mecu is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 1933: Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and v8orous community of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper_part of the bowl: "Unity Amidst DiversityJ' Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flame-like structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center of this " flame" to commemorate the origin of the community and the College in its coal mining past. The Chain of Office Orncr of the President of Wilkes College is four feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. Tha hnks of the chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif of the mace. In the front hangs the grlt seal ofwilkei College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns. to suggest the strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the chain is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong leadership of the College.

The esta,blished communitg of scholars - the Faculty - convene to recognize officially the newest group of proven scholars - the Qraduates - and welcome them in fellowship. Qraduates don the attire that for Aears has symbolized scholarly attainment. During the Middle Ages those seeking an education traueled to European centers of learntng. Centers of learning and uniuersities were closely allied with the clerics of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to that u,orn by the clergg. Thts euolued tnto the academic uniform, a long black gown, hood, and cap, whlch proued useful for studying ln unheated and drafty buildings. The hood serued simultaneouslg as a head couering, a repositorg for colns and alms and the forerunner of the modern day book bag. The hood was adorned with the colors of the unluersitg and designated the young scholar's school or uniuersitg affiliation. By their distlnctiue clothing the students were set apart and dtstingutshed from the citizens of the town; hence the originof the phrase "town and gown;' American colleges and uniuersltles adopted the wearing of the traditional apparel in Colonial tlmes, and a common code for academic apparelwas establtshed in the mid-nineteenth century. The hood is the most distinctiue feature of academic regalia. The inside of the hood is lined wlth the official colors of the institution; today gou see Wilkes graduates wearing'hoods lined with the blue and gold colors of the Uniuersitg. The ueluet trim around the outside of the hood designates the degree or field of study of the graduates. The ueluet colors worn bg today's graduates signify the following: OoldenYellow - Science White - Arts, Letters, flumanities Drab - Business Administration or Health Administration Pink - Music LightBlue - Education Brown - Fine Arts The stgle of the gown distinguishes graduates by the degree theg haue earned. Those earning the bachelor's degree wear a simple black gown with elongated pointed sleeues. ITolders of the master's degree wear gou)ns with a longer, closed, square cut sleeue. The doctoral gown is trimmed with ueluet stripes on the sleeues and panels of ueluet on the front closure of the gown. gowns intheir distinctiue colors. You wlll notice the pale blue-grag of Columbia, the red of Cornell, the burgundy of the Uniuerstty of Pennsyloania, the brtght blue of the Uniuersity of Michigan. Some American uniuersities haue adopted doctoral 7b haue earned the priuilege of wearlng academic regalta signtfles not only the completion of a program of studles, but entrance into the co m ar ad erie of scho lar ship. �Academic Ceremonial Music The CommencementceremonA [s also steeped in tradition. Ceremonial muslc designed to reflect the pomp and the grandeur of the occasion maA euen be considered standard fare. depart somewhat from the traditfon by selecting music for today's ceremonA to salute our honorarA degree recipient John Birks "Dizzy" Olllespie. We tro r half a century IuIr, Qillespie's music has enchanted and enliuened the citizens of America and the peoples of the world. ffis deuelopment of be-bop brought a distinctiue flauor to American jazz. The artistrA of Dizzy Gillespie sparked the creatiuity of his fellow musicians and opened the genre of jazz to new heights and wider dimensions. Through it all, in spite of mood or tone, Mr. Oillespie's music ls a celebration, a c eleb r atio n r efle ctin g unb o un d e d t alent, limitles s innouation, and a tale of the joa of grou)th. Tblent, innouation, and growth are the uerA qualities of life we celebrate in our graduates this Commencement DaA. Let the spirft of our honoree's music celebrate the uictories of our graduates. �OKDEK OF EXEKCISDS Fanfare ...IlenrgPurcell PROCESSIONAL Sundance One Note Samba . . Denis Di Blasio . . .

Zimmerman �Mace and Chain of Office The inauguration of President lvlichelini marked the first ceremonial use of two important insignia giuen to Wilkes Uniuerslty. The handsome mace and chaln of office are the gifts of local donors. The two insignia urere deslgned by Ottie llill Chwalek '67 and executed by anationallg known gold and siluersmith, Professor Kurt J. Matzdorf of the State Uniuersity of New York College at New Paltz, New Paltz, New York. The University Mace The Mace is made of sterling siluer throughout. At the lower end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold- plated) kno b. The upper end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 7935|' Aboue the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and uigorous community of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl: "Unity Amidst Diuersity;' Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt seal of Wilkes Uniuersity. The top of the mace is a gilt flame-like structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher educatton. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community and the Uniuersity in its coal mining past. The Chain of Office The Chain of Office of the President of Wilkes Uniuersity is four feet long and is made of sterling siluer throughout. The Iinks of the chain are alternating siluer bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes Uniuersity suspended from a cluster of oak leaues with three acorns to suggest the strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the chain is a slluer portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first President of Wilkes Uniuersity, set in a cluster of gtlt oak leaves to commemorate his strong leadership of the Uniuerslty. 26 �ARNAUD C.

IvlartsSports and Conference Center Wilke s' B arre, Pennsy lu ania �Academic Costume The celebration of Commencement is surrounded bg rich tradi' tions. The established communlty of scholars - the faculty - con' uene to recognize officially the newest group of prouen scholars - the Graduates - and welcome them in fellowshtp. Qraduates don the at' tire that for Aears has symbolized scholarly attainment. During the tvliddle Ages those seeking an education traueled to Eu' ropean centers of learning. Centers of learning and uniuersities were closelg allied with the clerics of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to that worn bg the clergy. This euolued into the academic uniform, a long black gown, hood, and cap, which proued useful for studying in unheated and drafty buildings. The hood served simulta' neously as a head couering, a reposltory for coins and alms and the forerunner of the modern day book bag. The hood was adorned with the colors of the uniuersity and deslgnated the young scholar's school or uniuersitg affiliation. By thetr distinctiue clothing the students were set apart and disttnguished from the citizens of the town; hence the origin of the phrase "town and gown;' American colteges and uniuersitles adopted the wearing of the traditional apparel in Colontal times, and a common code for academlc apparel was established in the mid-nineteenth centurg. The hood is the most distinctive feature of academic regalia. The inside of the hood is lined with the official colors of the institutlon; to' day you see Wilkes graduates weanng hoods lined with the blue and gold colors of the lJniuersity. The ueluet trim around the outside of the hood designates the degree or field of studA of the graduate,s. The veluet colors worn bg today's graduates signlfy the followlng: OoldenYellow - Science White - Arts, Letters, Humanities Drab - Business Administration or flealth Administration Pink - Music Light Blue - Education Brown - Fine Arts The stgle of the gown distinguishes graduates by the degree they haue earned. Those earning the bachelor's degree wear a simple black gown with elongated pointed sleeues. Ilolders of the master's degree u)ear gowns wtth a longer, closed, square cut sleeue. The doctoral gown is trimmed with ueluet stripes on the sleeues and panels of ueluet onthe front closure of the gown. Some American unluersities haue adopted doctoral gowns ln their distinctiue colors. You wlll notice the slatgof Columbia, the red of Cor' nell, the burgundg of the lJniversltg of Pennsyluanta, the bright blue of the Untuerstty of Michigan. prtuilege of wearing academic regalia stgnifies not onlg the completion of a program of studies, but entrance into the co mar ad erie o f scho lar ship. 7b haue earned the �The Forty-SixthAnnual Spring Commencement for the Conferring of Degrees Saturday Afternoon 29,7995 attwo o'clock IrIaA The Arnantd C.
