The establkhed community of scholars the Faculty convene to recognize ffiially the newest group oJ and webome them infellowship. Craduates don the attire - symbolized scholaily - attainment. thatfor years has prouen scholars - the Craduates During the MiddleAges those seeking an education trayeled to Euroytean centers of learning. Centers of learning and uniuersities were closely allied with the clerics of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to that worn by the clergy.This euolued into the academic unform, a long gown, hood, and cap, which proved usefulfor studying in unheated and drafty buildings. The hood served simukaneously as a head couering, a repository Jor coins and alms and the forerunner of the modern day book bag.The hood was adorned with the colors of the uniuersity and designated the young scholar\ school or university ffiliation. By their distinctiue clothing black the students were set apart and distinguished the phrase from the citizens of the town; hence the origin of "town and gown." American colleges and universities adopted the wearing of the traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common codefor academic apparel was established in the mid-nineteenth century. The hood is the most distinctiuefeature of academic regalia.The inside of the hood is lined with the fficial colors of the institution; today you seeWilkes graduates wearing hoods lined with the blue and gold colors of the (Jniversity.The uelvet trim around the ou*ide of the hood designates the degree or field of study of the graduates.The uelyet colors worn by today\ graduates signfy the following: GoldenYellow White Drab - Science Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration The style of the gown distingukhes graduates by the degree they haue earned. Those earning the bachelor's degree wear a simple black. gown with elongated pointed sleeues. Holders of the master's degree wear gowns with a longer, closed, square cut sleeue.The doctoral gown is trimmed with uelvet stripes on the sleeues and panels of velvet on thefront closure of the gown. Some American universities haue adoptgd doctoral gowns in their distinctiue colors.You will notice the slate of Columbia, the red oJ Cornell, the burgundy of the tJniversity of Pennsylvania, the bright blue of the University of Michigan. Tb haue earned the priuilege of wearing academic costume regalia signffies not only the completion of a program of studies, but entrance into the comradery of scholarship. 22 �r The tlniversity Mace and Presidential Chain of O{fice The mace and the presidential chain oJofue used in audemic celebrations represent traditions dating to the sixteenth century.The mace symbolizes the authority of the uniuersity and the chain of ffice designates the presidential leadership of the academy. TheWilkes (Jniuersity mace and presidential chain of ffice were gfts oJ local donors and werefirst used in 1970 at the inauguration of the second president ofWilkes,They were designed by Onie Hilt Chwatek '67 and executed by Kurt MatzdorJ, a naaqtionally recognized gold and siluersmithfrom the State [Jniversity of NewYork at New Paltz. The Uniaersity Mace The sterling silver mace has a gilt knob at its base and a gilt circle at the top bearing the insuiption "Wilkes College 19ii."The bowl, rising aboue the neck of the mace, signifies Wilkes-Barre's role as a melting pot,forming a new and vigorous community of peoplefrom many dfferent backgrounds. This theme is reiterated in the inscription of the Uniuersity\ motto "(Jnity Amidst Diversity" which surrounds the upper part of the bowl.The gilt fiame symbolizes the enlightenment gained from higher education, while the piece of anthracite coal set for in the center of thefiame commemorates the origin of the University in a community known its coal mining past. The Presidential Chain of O;fice The Presidential Chain of Office, created from sterling silver, has alternating bowls and gilt flames, repeating the motif of the mace. On the Jront of the four-foot chain hangs a gilt seal of Wilkes which k suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with acorns, sugesting the strength and sturdiness of future generations. On the back of the Presidential Chain of ffice is a siluer portrait of Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the first President of Wilkes. Dr. Farley\ ytortrait is surrounded by gilt oak leaues commemorating his strong leadership of the emerging institution. 23 �ARNAUD C.
