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.

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.

The established community of scholars - the facultg conuene to recognlze officlally the newest group of provenscholars the Oraduates - and welcome them in fellowship. Oraduates don the attire that for years has symbolized scholarly attalnment. Durlng the Middle Ages those seeking an educatton traueled to European centers of learning, Centers of learning and uniuerslttes were closety allted wtth the clerlcs of the time, and the scholars donned garb simllar to that worn by the clergg. Thls euolued lnto the academic uniform, a long black gown, haod, and cap, which proved useful for studging in unheated and drafty bulldings. The hood serued simultaneously as a head couerlng, a reposttory for colns 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's school or uniuersity afftltatton. Bg their disttnctlue clothing the students were set apart and distinguished from the citizens of the town; hence the ortgtn of the phrase "town and gown." American colleges and uniuersities adopted the wearing of the traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common code for academic apparel was established in the mid-ninete€nth century. The hood is the most disttnctiue feature of academic regalia. The inside of the hood is lined with the offtcial cslors of the instttution; todag you see Wilkes graduates wearlng hoods tined with the btue and gold colors of the Uniaersit4. The ueluet trim around the outside of the hood designates the degree or field of study of the graduates. The ueluet colors worn by today's graduates stgnifg the following: Oolden Yettow - Science White - Arts, Letters, tlumanities Drab - Business Administration or Health Administration Pink - Music Brown - Fine Arts The style of the gou)n distinguishes graduates bg the degree theg haue earned. Those earning the bachelor's degree wear a simple black gown with elongated pointed sleeues. Ilolders of the master's degree wear gowns 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. Some American uniuersities haue adopted doctoral gowns in their distinctiue colors. You will notice the slate of Columbia, the red of Cornell, the burgundy of the Uniuersity of Pennsyluanta, the bright blue of the University of Michigan. 7b haue earned the priuilege of wearing academic regalia signifles not onlg the completion of a program of studies, but entrance into the comradery of scholarship. ��Fanfare For The Common Man . ....

The mace sAmbolizes the authority of the uniuersity and the chain of office designates the presidential leadership of the academg. The Wilkes lJniuersitg mace and presidential chain of office were gifts of local donors and were first used in 7970 at the inauguration of the second president of Wilkes. They were designed bg Ottie llill Chwalek'67 and executed by Kurt t"Iatzdorf, a nationally recognized gold and siluersmith from the State Uniuersity of New York CoIIege at New Paltz, New Paltz, New York. The Uniuersity Mace The sterling siluer mace has a gilt knob at its base and a gilt circle at the top bearing the inscription "Wilkes College 7933." The bowl, rls[ng aboue the neck of the mace, signifies Wilkes-Barre's role as a melting pot, forming a new and uigorous communtty of people from many different backgrounds. This theme is reiterated in the inscrlption of the Uniuersitg's motto "Unity Amidst Diuersity" which surrounds the upper part of the bowl. The gilt flame symbolizes the enlightenment gained from higher education, while the piece of anthracite coal set in the center of the flame commemorates the origin of the Uniuersitg in a communitg known for its coal mining past. The Presidential Chain of Office The Presidential Chain of Office, created from sterling siluer, has alternating bowls and gilt flames, repeating the motif of the mace. On the front of the four-foot long chain hangs a gilt seal of Wilkes which is suspended from a cluster of oak leaues with acorns, suggesting the strength and sturdiness of future generations. On the back of the Presidential Chain of Office is a siluer portrait of Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the first President of Wilkes. Dr. Farley's portrait is surrounded by gilt oak leaues commemorating his strong leadership of the emerging institution. 26 �RALSTON FIELD - Medical personnel are available for first aid assistance and emergencies.

Graduates don the attire that - - - - arly attainmant. Duing the Middle Ages those seeking an education traueled to European centers of learning. Centers of learning and uniuersities were closely alliedwith the cleics of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to that wom by the clergy. This euolued into the academic uniform, a long black goum, hood, and cap, which proued useful for studying in unheated and drafty buildings. The hood serued simultaneously as a head coueing, a rqository for coins and alms and the forerunner of the modem day book bag. The hood was adorned with the colors of the uniuersity and daigmated the young scholarb school or uniuersity affiliation. By their distinctiue clothing the students were set apart and distinguished from the citizeru of the toun; hance the oigin of thephrase "toum ond goum." Ameican colleges and uniuersities adopted the weaing of the traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common code for academic apparelwas established in the mid-nineteenth cantury. The hood is the most distinctiue feature of academic regalia. The inside of the hood is lined with the official colors of the institution; today you see Wilkes graduates ueaing hoods lined with the blue and gold colors of the Uniuersity. The ueluet tim around the outside of the hood desigmates the degree or field of sfudy of the graduates. The ueluet colors worn by todayb graduates signify the following: Golden Yellow - Science Letters, Humanities -Arts, Administration or Business Drab Health Administration Pink - Music Broum Fine Arts White The style of the goum distinguishes graduata by the degree they hane eamed. Those eaming the bachelor\ degree uear a simple black gown with elongated pointed sleeues. Holders of the masterb degree uear goums with a longer, closed, square cut sleeue. The doctoral gown is timmedwithueluet stipes on the sleeues and panels of ueluet on the front closure of the goum. Some Ameican uniuersities haue adopted doctoral goums in their distinctiue colors. You will notice the slate of Columbia, the red of Cornell, the burgundy of the Uniuersity of Pennsyluania, the bright blue of the Uniuersity of Michigan. priuilege of weaing academic cosfume regalia sigmifia not only the completion of a program of studies, but entrance into the comradery of scholorship.

The mace symbolizes the authoity of the uniuersity and the chain of office desigmates the presidential leadership of the academy. The Wilkes Uniuersity mace and presidantial chain of offr.ce were gifts of local donors and were first used in 1970 at the inauguration of the second president of Wilkes. They were designed by Ottie Hill Clwalek '61 and etcecuted by Kurt Matzdorf, anationally recogmized gold and siluersmith from the State Uniuersity of New York College at New Paltz, New Paltz, Neut York. The Uniaerslty Moce The sterling siluer mace has a gilt lenob at its base and a gilt circle at the top bearing the insciption "Wilkes College 1933." The bowl, ising aboue the neck of the mace, signifia Wlkes-Barreb role as a melting pot, forming a neu and uigorous community of people from many different backgrounds. This theme is reiterated in the insciption of the Uniuersityb motto "Unity Amidst Diuersity" which surrounds the upper part of the bowl. The gilt flame symbolizes the enlightenment gained from higher education, while the piece of anthracite coal set in the center of the flame commemorotes the oigin of the Uniuersity in a community lmoum for its coal mining past. The Presidential Chain of Office The Presidetttial Chain of Office, ueated from sterling siluen has altemating bowk and gilt flames, repeating the motif of the mace. On the front of the fourfoot chain hangs a gilt seal of Wlkes which is suspended from a cluster of oak leaueswithacoffts, suggesting thestrangthandsfurdiness of fufureganerations. 0n the back of the Praidential Chain of Office is a siluer portrait of Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the first President of Wkes. Dr. Farleyb portrait is surrounded by gilt oak leaues commemorating his strong leadership of the emerging instifution. 26 �RALSTON FIELD Medical are available for first aid assistance and emergencies.
