InterJ aith ......Handel/Leidzen �HONORARY DEGREE DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS............ ....... Meru-Er MettN Born and raised in Morton Grove, Illinois, it was clear from an early age that you are a special person, with special gifts, who would lead an extraordinary 1ife. The decisions your parents made for you early in your childhood set the stage for your success as an actress, a role model and advocate, and your most cherished role that of mom to Sarah, Brandon, Tyler and Isabelle. You encourage us to count our blessings, to celebrate what makes each of us unique and to see possibility in the most difficult of circumstances. In the midst of the most challenging situations, you have learned to find the serendipitous. Your professional career is already one of merit and distinction. At age 2L, you became the youngest recipient of the Best Actress Oscar for your role in "Children of a Lesser God." As one of only four actresses to receive that honor for a film debut, you were also awarded a Golden Globe by the Hollywood Foreign Press for Best Actress in a Drama. With four Emmy Award Nominations for your work on Seinfeld, Pichet Fences, The Practice and Law and Order:S\rU, you have been honored with two other Golden Globe nominations, a nomination for a CableACE Award, and a nomination for a People's Choice Award. Known for your devotion of time and energy to numerous organizations, your influence and contributions extend well beyond your artistic accomplishments. In 1994, President Clinton appointed you to the Board of Directors for the Corporation for National Service, and in 1995 you were honored in a White House Rose Garden ceremony for your work as Chairperson for National Volunteer Week. As a national celebrity spokesperson for the American Red Cross, you also serve on the national boards for Easter Seals and the Children Affected by Aids Foundation. Your considerable talents, first-hand experiences and unwavering commitment to bettering the quality of life have made you not only a champion for the hearing-impaired community but also a model world ci[izen for us all. Your testimony before Congress was instrumental in getting federal legislation passed requiring all televisions manufactured in the United States be equipped with close-captioning technologr. While your artistic endeavors alone might be reason enough for the recognition we bestow today, we take this special opportunity to salute your eloquent advocacy that creates genuine opportunities for those who are differently-abled. You provide inspiration and hope so that they are able to live their lives with dignity, optimism and the promise that they might achieve their fullest potential. By the power vested in me by the Board of Tiustees of Wilkes University, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I hereby confer upon you, Marlee Matlin, the doctorate of humane letters, Honoris Causa, with all the rights and privileges appertaining thereto. �A}VARDS THE MABLE SCOTT WANDELL AND STERLING LEROY WANDELL AWARDS ,07 E.

The established convene to recognize fficially the newest group communig oJ scholars the Faculty andwelcome theminJellowship. Graduates don of proven scholars the Graduates the attire that for yearshas symbolized scholarly attainment. Dunng the Middle Ages those seehing an education traveled to European centers of learning. Centers of learning and uniyersities were closely allied with the clencs of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to that worn by the clergt. This evolved into the academic uniform, alongblach gown, hood, and cap, which prov ed useiul for studying in unheated and drafty buildings. The hood served simultaneously as ahead cotenng, a coins and alms and the t'orerunner oJ the modern day booh bag. The hood was adornedwith the colors oJ the university and designated the youngscholar\ school or repository Jor universig ffiliation. By their distinctive clothing the students were set apart and disnnguishedfrom the citizens of the town;hence the ongln of the phrase "town and gown." Amencan colleges and uniyersities adopted the weanng of the traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common code t'or academic apparel was established in the midnineteenth century. The hood is the most distinctive feature of academic regalia. The inside of the hood is lined with the official colors oJ the institution; today you see Wilhes graduates weanng hoods lined with the blue and gold colors of the lJnittersig. The velvet tim around the outside oJ the hood designates the degree or field of study of the graduates. The velvet colors wornby today\ graduates signtJy the Jollowing: GoldenYellow Drab Pinh Brown Olive White Science Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration Music Fine Arts Pharmacy The style of the gown distinguishes graduatesby the degree they have earned. Those earning the bachelor's degree wear a simple blach gown with elongated pointed sleeves. Holders of the master\ degree wear gowns with a longer, closed, square cut sleeve. The doctoral gown is tnmmed with velvet stnpes on the sleeves and panels of telvet on the front closure of the gown. Some Amencan uniyersities haye adopted doctoral gowns in thar distinctive colors. You will notice the slate of Columbia, the red oJ Cornell, the burgundy of the Untuersity oJ Pennsylvania, thebnghtblue oJ the Unittersity oJ Michigan. To have earned the pittilege of weaing academic costume regalia signifies not only the completion oJ a program oJ studies,but entrance into the comradery oJ scholarship. )L �The l-Jniversity Mace and Presidential Chain of Office The mace and the presidentral chain of office used in academic celebrations represent traditions dating to the sixteenth century. The mace symbolizes the authoity of the unittersity and the chain of office designates the presidential leadershtp oJ the academy. The WilhesUniversity mace andpresidential chain of ffice were giJts of local donors and were first used in 1970 at the inauguration oJ the second president of Wilhes. They were designed by Ouie Hill Chwaleh '61 and executed by l{urt Matzdorf , a nationally recognized gold and silversmith Jrom the State unittersity of New Yorh at New Paltz. TheUniyersity Mace The sterling silver mace has a gilt hnob at its base and a glt circle at the top bearing the inscnption "Wilhes College 1933." The bowl, nsing above the nech of the macd, signif.es Wilhes-Barre\ role as a melting pot, Jorming a new and vigorous community oJ people from many differentbachgrounds. This theme is reiterated in the inscnption of the Unittersity\ motto "Unity Amidst Diversig" which surrounds the Wper part oJ the bowl. The giltJlame symbolizes the enlightenment gainedfromhigher education, while the piece of anthracite coal set in the center oJ the flame commemorates the ongln of the Unitersity in a communig hnownJor its coal miningpast. ThePresiilential Chain of Office The Presidential Chain oJ Office, created from sterling silver, has alternatingbowls and glltJlames, repeatingthe motiJ oJ the mace. On the front oJ the four-foot chainhangs a gllt seal of Wilhes which is suspended from a cluster of oah leaves with acorns, suggesting the strength and sturdiness of future generations. On the bach of the Presidential Chain oJ Office is a silyer portrait of Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the first President of Wilhes.

The established community oJ scholars the Faculty convene to recognize fficially the newest group oJ proven scholars and welcome them in Jellowshtp. Graduates don the Graduates the attire that Jor years has symbolized scholarly attainment. Duingthe Middle Ages those seehing an education traveled to European centers oJ learning. Centers of learning and uniyersities were closely allied with the clencs of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to that worn by the clergt. This evolved into the academic unit'orm, alongblach gown, hood, and cap, which proved useful t'or studying in unheated and draJty buildings. Thehood served simultaneousU ot ohead cotteing, a coins and alms and the Jorerunner oJ the modern day booh bag. The hood was adorned with the colors oJ the university and designated the young scholar's school or repository for university ffiliation. By their distinctive clothing the students were set apdrt dnd distinguishedfrom the citizens of the town;hence the ongln of the phrase "town and gown. Ameican colleges and universities adopted the weanng in Colonial times, and a common code oJ the traditional apparel Jor academic apparel was established in the mid- nineteenth century. The hood is the most distinctive feature of academic regalia. The inside oJ the hood is lined with the offcial colors oJ the institution; today you see Wilhes gradudtes weanng hoods lined with the blue and gold colors oJ the Universig. The velvet tnm around the outsideof thehooddesignatesthe degree orfieldoJstudy of thegraduates.Thevelvetcolors wornby today's graduates sryib the Jollowing: GoldenYellow Letters, Humanities White -Science Drob -Arts, Business Administration - Music Pinh - Fine Arts Brown - Pharmacy Olive - The style of the gown distinguishes graduatesby the degree thq have earned. Those earning the bachelor's degree wear a simple blach gown with elongated pointed sleeves. Holders oJ the master's degree wear gowns with alonger, closed, squore cut sleeve. The doctoral gown is timmed with velvet stipes on the sleeves and panels of velvet on the front closure oJ the gown. Some Amencan uniyersities have adopted doctoral gowns in their distinctive colors. You will notice the slate of Columbia, the red of Cornell, the burgundy of the Universig of Pennsylttania, thebnghtblue of the University of Michigan. To have earned the pivilege of weanng academic costume regalia signifies not only the cornpletion of a program of studies, but entrance into the comradery oJ scholarshrp. JJ �The l-Jniversity Mace and Presidential Chain of Office The marc and the presidential chain of ffice usedin academic celebrattons represent traditions dating to the sateenth century.

JoHN Bnooxs SleucurEn A renowned engineer, educator, scholar and citizen, you have been an ambassador o[ science and technology, dedicating much of your life in distinguished service to helping others find and live up to their full potential. Your tireless and selfless advocacy has served to highlight the goodness in all young people so that their knowledge and talent, when inspired by their hopes and dreams, can be transformed into deeds and action that strengthen community, preserve and grow knowledge and affirm the dignity of all individuals. With a vision to see what is possible and how to achieve it, you have created institutions that are more inclusive, provide a greater range of opportunities and are better equipped for our future.

The established community oJ scholors the Faculty convene to recognize fficially the newest group oJ proven scholars andwelcome theminfellowship. Graduates don the Graduates the attire thatJor yearshas symbolized scholarly attainment. - - - Duing the Middle Ages those seehing an education traveled to European centers oJ learning. Centers of learning and universities were closely allied with the cleics of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to that worn by the clerg. This evolved into f o r study ing simultaneously as ohead cownng, a repository Jor coins and alms and the t'orerunner of the modern day boohbag. The hood was adorned with the colors of the university and designated the young scholar\ school or university affilianon. By thar dtstinctive clothingthe studurts were set apart and disnnguished from the citizens of the town;hence the ongln of the phrase "town and gown." th e ac ademic unif o rm, a lo ng bl ach gow n, ho o d, and c ap, which p r ov e d us eful in unheated and draJty buildings. Thehood ser"',ed Amencan colleges and uniyersities odopted the weaing of the traditional apparel code for academic apparel was establishedin the mid- in Colonial times, and a common nineteenth century. The hood is the most distinctfue Jeature of academic regalia. The inside of the hood islinedwith the fficial colors oJ the institution; today you seeWilhes grddudtes weanng hoods lined with the blue and gold colors of the Universig. The velvet tim around the outside of thehood designates the degree or field oJ study oJ the graduates. The velvet colors wornby today's graduates sWtfy the GoldenYellow following: Drab Pinh Brown Olive 'V/hite Science Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration Music Fine Arts Pharmacy The sgle of the gown distinguishes graduatesby the degree they have eorned. Those eorning the bachelor's degree wear d sirnple bloch gown with elongated pointed sleeves. Holders oJ the master\ degree wear gowns with alonger, closed, square cut sleeve. The doctoral gown is timmed with velvet stipes on the sleeves and panels of velvet on the front closure oJ the gown. Some Amencan uniyersities haye odopted doctoral gowns in their drstinctive colors. You will notice the slate oJ Columbia, the red of Cornell, the burgundy oJ the University of Pennsybania, thebnghtblue of the University of Michigan. To haye earned the pnvilege oJ weanng academic costume regalia signifies not only the cornpletion of a program of studies, but entrance into the comradery of scholarship. 33 �The LJniversity Mace and Presidential Chain of Office The mace and the presidutnal chain oJ ffice used in academic celebrafians represant traditions dating to the srxteenth century.

ReNoell As a two-term district attorney for Philadelphia County, a two-term mayor of the City of Philadelphia and as a two-term Governor o[ Pennsylvania, you have served with great distinction and produced extraordinary results. As the 45'h Governor you invested strategrcally in the Commonwealth's economy, revital2ed communities, greatly improved education, protected the environment, expanded health care for all children and pror,rded affordable prescription drugs to older adults. As the 12I" Mayor of Philadelphia, you achieved one of the most remarkable turnarounds in recent American urban history restoring credibility and fiscal responsibility by eliminating a $250 million deficit, creating innovative public/private partnerships, balancing the City's budget and creating five consecutive budget surpluses. Every region needs its champion and you have been ours in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Small city investment has been a cornerstone of your administration. The lessons learned from recreating a lively and livable downtown Philadelphia are now being used to transform downtown districts all over the Commonwealth. The impact is already visible in Wilkes-Barre. Your downtown initiatives have created an enhanced quality of student life for all of the graduates who sit before you. Whether it is the downtown streetlights program, your $5.2 million investment in our River Common, your administration's advocacy to make possible the sale of the Call Center to Wilkes to create our University Center on Main, or the ambitious theater project all of these initiatives have worked together to create a resilient and energized downtown. Generous not only to Wilkes-Barre, your irsight, instincts and unflagging loyalty have resulted in decisions flor Northeastem Pennsylvania that will impact us positively for generations to come. Yours is a positive message that has enabled us as a region and a Commonwealth to look beyond our barriers and reach our fullest potential. With enormous appreciation for your distinguished service to the Commonwealth, we celebrate your unwavering commitment to Pennsylvania's success and your vision that all of her citizens should be able to live in dignity, with optimism and good health. By the power vested in me by the Board of Tiustees of Wilkes University, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I hereby confer upon you, Edward G. Rendell, the doctorate of laws, Honoris Causa, with all the rights and privileges thereto appertaining. .{ ! l 1 l I �AWARDS THE MABLE SCOTT WANDELL AND STERLING LEROY WANDELL AWARDS These awards are presented to the a,terage Jor K.

Centers of learning and uniyersities were closely allied with the cleics of the nme, and the scholars donned garb similar to that wornby the clergt. This evolved into the academic uruJorm, alongblach gown,hood, and cap, which proveduseiul t'or studying in unheated and drat'ty buildings. The hood served simultaneously as a head covenng, a for coins and alms and the Jorerunner of the modern day boohbag. Thehood was adorned with the colors of the university and designated the young scholar\ school or unittersity ffiliation. W thelr distincttte clothingthe students were set apart and dtsting*hed repository from the citizens oJ the town;hence American colleges the ongln oJ the phrase "town and gown." and uniyersities adopted the weanng of the traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common code for academic apparel wos establishedin the mid- nineteenth century. The hood is the most distinctive feature oJ academic regalia. The inside of the hood is lined with the olficial colors of the institution; today you see Wilhes graduates weanng hoods lined with the blue and gold colors oJ the lJniversity. The velvet tim around the outside of the hood designates the degree or field oJ study oJ the graduates. The velvet colors wornby today\ graduates signtJy the Jollowing: GoldenYellow White Drab Pinh Brown Olive - Science Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration Music Fine Arts Pharmacy The sgle of the gown distinguishes graduates by the degree they haw earned. Those earning the bachelor\ degree wear d simple blach gown with elongated pointed sleeves. Holders oJ the master's degree wear gowns with alonger, closed, square cut sleeve. The doctoral gown is trimmed with velvet stnpes on the sleeves and panels of velvet on the front closure of the gown. Some American uniyersities haye adopted doctoral gowns in their distinctive colors. You will notice the slate of Columbia, the red of Cornell, the burgundy oJ the Unittersity of Pennsylvania, thebnghtblue of the lJniversity of Michigan. To have earned the pivilege of weaing academic costume regalia signif,es not only the completion oJ a program oJ studies, but entrance into the comradery of scholarship.

An exemplary work ethic, a passion for education, the most positive of ourlooks, and indomitable faith in the power of the individual are traits that have sus[ained you your whole life. As the first in your family to attend co1lege, your early determination and hard work led you to Harvard University and eventually to the Boalt HaIl School of Law at the University of California/Berkeley. Teaching in Kenya after law school was formative and cemented your conviction that young people musr be provided the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. Your current work as Chief of the Juvenile Unit for the Defender Association of Philadelphia and service as President of the Juvenile Defender Association of Pennsylvania are testaments to that ideal. Your keen insights and understanding of complexities that come only from first-hand experience have made you a leader who has contributed significantly to the advancement of juvenile justice in our Commonwealth and across our nation. Your distinguished service on the Interbranch Commission on Juvenile Justice will have a profound impact on future generations of young people growing up in Luzerne County The vision and leadership you brought to the work of the Commission has resulted in recommendations designed to guard against any further misuse of our justice system and wili help ensure that our laws are applied in fairness to every resident of Pennsylvania. You and your fe1low Commissioners remind us in your report that "Preservalion of democracy depends on the preservation of the ru1e of 1aw, and if we cannot have confidence in the fairness and honesty of those who make. apply and enforce our laws, then democracy itself is at risk." With admiration and great appreciation for the life you 1ead, we celebrate today your contributions to public policy and the law, and your distinctive service to the cilizenry of Pennsylvania. By the power vested in me by the Board of Tiuslees of Wilkes University and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I confer upon you, Robert L. Listenbee, the doctorate of laws, honoris causa, with all the rights and privileges thereto appertaining. �AWARDS THE MABLE SCOTT WANDELL AND STERLING LEROY WANDELL AWARDS ........ .MArrHEw J.

Centers of learning and uniyersities were closely allied with the cleics of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to that worn by the clergy. This eyolved into th e ac ademic uniJ o r m, a I ong bl ach gow n, ho o d, and c ap, which p r ov e d us eful fo r s tudy ing in unheated and drafty buildings. Thehood sewed simultaneously as ahead cownng, a repository Jor coins and alms and the Jorerunner of the modern day boohbag. The hood wasadornedwiththe colorsoJthe university anddesignatedthe youngscholar\schoolor universig affiliatton. By their distinct:e clothingthe studentswere set apart and distinguished Jrom the cittzens oJ the town;hence the ongln oJ the phrase "town and gown."

The established community oJ scholars the Faculty conyene to recognize officially the newest group proven oJ scholars the Graduates and welcome them in Jellowship. Graduates don the attire that for years has symbolized scholarly attainment. - - - Duing the Mddle Ages those seehing an education traveled to European centers oJ learning. Centers oJ learning and universities were closely allied with the clencs of the time, and the scholars donned garb similar to thdt worn by the clerg. This evolyed into the academicuniform, alongblachgown,hood, andcap,whichprottedusefulJor studying in unheated and drafty buildings. The hood served simultaneously as ahead coveing, a repository for coins and alms and the t'orerunner of the modern day booh bag. The hood was adorned with the colors of the university and designated the young scholar\ school or university affiliation. By their dtstrnct:e clotllnngthe students were set apart and disnnguished from the citizens of the town;hence the ongln of the phrase "town and gown." Amencan colleges and uniyersities adopted the weonng of the traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common code Jor academic apparel was established in the midnineteenth century. The hood is the most distinctive Jeature of academic regalia. The inside of the hood is lined with the fficial colors of the institution; today you see Wilhes graduates weanng hoods lined with the blue and gold colors of the Unitersity. The velvet tnm around the outside oJ thehood designates the degree or of study oJ the graduates. The yelyet colors field wornby today's graduates signtJy the following: GoldenYellow Wlnte Drab Pinh Brown Olive Blue - Science Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration Music Fine Arts Pharmacy Education The style of the gown distinguishes graduatesby the degree they haw earned. Those earning the bachelorl degree wear d sirnple blach gown with elongated pointed sleeyes. Holders oJ the master's degree wedr gowns with a longer, closed, squdre cut sleeye. The doctoral gown is tnmmed with velvet stnpes on the sleeves and panels of wlvet on the Jront closure of the gown. Some Ameican universities have adopted doctoral gowns in their distinctive colors. You will notice the slate of Columbia, the red oJ Cornell, the burgundy oJ the University of Pennsylvania, thebnghtblue of the Uni,,tersity of Michigan. To have earned the pnvilege oJ weanng academic costume regalia signifies not only the cornpletion oJ a program of studies, but entrance into the comradery oJ scholarship. 45 :t. �The University Mace and Presidential Chain of Office The mace and the presidurttal charn oJ ffice used in academic celebrattons represent stxteenth century. The mace symbolizes the authoity of the university and the charn of olfce designates the presidentialleadership oJ the academy. traditions dating to tie TheWllhes[Jniversity mace andpresidential chain of fficewere gifts oJlocal donors and were first used in 1970 at the inauguration of the second president oJ Wilhes. They were designed by Ottie Hill Awabh'61 and executed by Kurt MatzdorJ, a nationally recognized gold and silversmith Jrom the Stdte lJniversity oJ Nrw Yorh at New Paltz. TheUnivercity Mace The sterling silyer moce has a gllthnob at its base and a gllt circle at the top beaing the insciption "wilhes college 1933." The bowl, ising abow the nech of the mace, signifies Wilhes-Barres role as a melting pot, Jorming a new and vigorous community oJ piople from many differentbachgrounds. This theme is reiteratedin the inscnption oJ the Unwerstty\ motto "inity Amidst Diversity" which sunounds the upper part oJ the bowl. The glltJlame symbolizes the enlightenment gainedJromhigher education, while the piece oJ anthracite coal set in the center of the Jlame commemorates the ongn of the University in a community hnown Jor its coal mining past. The Presiilcntial Chain of Office The Presidential Chain oJ Office, created Jrom sterling silve4 has alternatingbowls repeating the motif oJ the mace.

The established community of scholars prouen scholars - the Faculty the Graduates - the newest group of conuene to recognize fficially and welcome them inJellowship. Craduates don the attire thatfor years has symbolized scholaily attainment. During the MiddleAges those seeking an education traueled to European centers of learning. Centers of learning and universities 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 which proued usefulfor studying in unheated and drafty buildings. The hood served simultaneously as a head cottering, a repository for 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's school or uniuersity ffiliation, By their distinctive clothing black gown, hood, and cap, 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 uniuersities adopted the wearing of the traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common code for academic apparel was established in the mid-nineteenth century. The hood is the most dktinctiue Jeature oJ academic regalia. The inside oJ the hood k lined with the ofuial colors of the institution; today you seeWilkes graduates wearing hoods lined with the blue and gold colors of the Uniuersity.The ueluet trim around the outside of the hood designates the degree or field of study of the graduates.The uelvet colors worn by today\ graduates signify the following: GoldenYellow White Drab Brown Oliue Blue Apricot - Science Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration Fine Arts Pharmacy Education Nursing The style of the gown dktinguishes graduates by the degree they haue earned. Those earning the bachelor\ degree wear a simple black gown with elongated pointed sleeves. Holders of the master's degree wear gowns with a longer, closed, square cut sleeve.The doctoral gown is trimmed with uelvet stripes on the sleeues and panels of ueluet on thefront closure of the gown. Some American uniuersities haue adopted doctoral gowns in their distinctiue colors.You will notice the slate oJ Columbia, the red of Cornell, the burgundy of the University of Pennsyluania, the bright blue of the University of Michigan. Tb haue earned the privilege of wearing academic costume regalia signffies not only the completion oJ a program of studies, but entrance into the comradery of scholarship. 17 �The Llniversity Mace and Presidential Chain of Office The mace and the presidential chain of ofrn used in academic 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. The Wilkes fJniuersity mace and presidential chain of ffice were Stfts of local donors and were first used in 1970 at the inauguration of the second president ofWilkes.They were designed by Ottie Hill Chwalek '67 and executed by Kurt Matzdo$ a nationally recognized gold and silversmithfrom the State Uniuersity of NewYork at New Paltz. The Unhtersity Mace The sterling siluer mace has a gilt knob at its base and a gilt circle at the top bearing the inscription "Wilkes College 1933."The bowl, rising above the neck of the mace, signifies Wilkes-Barre's role as a melting ytot,forming a new and uigorous community of people from many dffirent backgrounds. This theme is reiterated in the inscription of the (Jniversity\ motto "(Jnity Amid* Diuersity" which surrounds the upper part of the bowl.The giltfiame symbolizes the enlightenment gained from higher education, while the piece of anthracite coal set in the center of the fiame comtnemorates the origin of the Uniuersity in a community knoum for i* coal mining past. The Prcsidential Chain of Office The Presidential Chain of Ofice, created Jrom steiling siluer, has alternating bowls and gilt fiames, repeating the motif of the mace. On the front oJ the four-Joot chain seal of Wilkes which is suspended from a cluster of oak. leaues with acorns, sugesting the strength and sturdiness of future generations. On the back of the Presidential Chain of Ofice is a silver portrait of Dr. Eugene S, Farley, the first President of Wilkes hangs a gilt Dr. Farley\ portrait is surrounded by gilt oak leaues commemorating his strong leadership the emerging institution. 18 of �ARNAUD C.

The established conyene to recognize fficially the newest group of the Faculty and welcome them infellowship. Craduates don the attire prouen scholars the Graduates thatfor years has symbolized scholaily attainment. The celebration of Commencement is surrounded by community oJ scholars - During the - MiddleAges - - those seeking an education traueled to European 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 euolved into the academic unform, a long black gown, hood, and cap, which proued useful for studying in unheated and drafty buildings. The hood serued simultaneously as a head couering, a repository for coins and alms and the Jorerunner of the modern day book bag.The hood was adorned with the colors oJ the university and designated the young scholar's school or university ffiliation. By their distinctiue clothing the students were set apart and distinguished Jrom the citizens of the town; hence the origin oJ the phrase "town and gown." and universities adopted the wearing of the traditional apparel in Colonial times, and a common code Jor academic apparel was established in the mid-nineteenth century. American colleges 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 [Jniuersity.The ueluet trim around the outside of the hood designates the degree orfield oJ study of the graduates.The velvet colors worn by today\ graduates signifu the following : GoldenYellow White Drab Pink - Science Arts, Letters, Humanities Business Administration Music The style of the gown distinguishes graduates by the degree they haue earned. Those earning the bachelor\ degree wear a simple black gown with elongated pointed sleeues. Holders of the master's degree wear gowns with a longer, closed, square cut sleeve.The doctoral gown is trimmed with veluet stripes on the sleeves and panels oJuelvet on thefront closure of the gown. SomeAmerican universities have adopted doctoral gowns in their distinctive 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. Tb haue earned the priuilege oJ wearing academic costume regalia signifies not only the completion of a program of *udies, but entrance into the comradery of scholarship. 22 �ARNAUD C.
