AcADEMic PRocESSIONAL & 

CEREMONIAL CusTOMS 

The pageantry of commencement is rooted in traditions that are centuries old. The following information is 

designed to assist you in understanding the significance of these ceremonial rites. 

Processional 

The academic processional is an 

official prelude to the commencement 

ceremony. The University 

marshal leads the procession, 

bearing the University Mace, 

which represents the authority 

of both the University and of the 

state. Following the University 

marshal are the members of 

the platform party including 

trustees, recipient(s) of honorary 

degrees, and the president of the 

University, who wears a medallion 

with inscriptions representing 

the history of the state and 

the University. Next come the 

members of the faculty followed 

by the degree candidates. 

The marching order of candidates 

customarily reflects the 

historical order in which the 

various colleges or schools of 

the University were established. 

Led by marshals, the candidates 

for degrees march in with their 

respective colleges. 

Academic Attire 

The academic regalia worn at 

commencement is of medieval 

origin. The scholars of Bologna, 

Paris, Oxford, Cambridge, and 

Heidelberg dressed in a manner 

to distinguish themselves from 

the merchants and other townsmen. 

When the universities 

first came into being in the nth 

century, "learned clerks" robed 

themselves in gowns, caps, 

and hoods, thus signifying the 

distinction between "town" and 

"gown." As additional universities 

came into being, their faculties 

adopted distinctive forms of the 

gown and hood for bachelor's, master's, 

and doctoral degrees. 

These customs are reflected 

in today's academic attire. In 

Europe, a professor generally 

wears the type of garment customary 

in the university where he 

or she is lecturing. In the United 

States, however, professors wear 

the gown and hood of the university 

where they earned their highest 

degree. All commencement 

ceremony participants at The 

University of Akron are attired in 

the appropriate academic apparel. 

University marshals are distinguished 

by their blue and gold 

robes and Elizabethan caps. 

Caps and Tassels 

The cap, also called the mortarboard, 

may have been derived 

from the squarish cap worn by 

the masons of the Middle Ages, 

or perhaps was suggested by the 

shape of the books which occupied 

so much of the scholar's 

time. In the United States, the cap 

is usually flat and square in shape. 

In Europe, one sometimes sees 

caps of other varieties. Attached 

to a button atop the mortarboard 

is a tassel; associate's are often 

silver in color; bachelor's and 

master's are black or of a color 

appropriate to the college from 

which the candidate is being 

graduated; and doctor's are usually 

golden. 

Gowns 

Originally, the gown may simply 

have been a type of overcoat to 

protect the teacher from the cold 

in unheated buildings. The cut 

or style appears to derive from 

ecclesiastical attire and most 

often is black. The associate's and 

bachelor's gowns generally have 

a closed front and open sleeves. 

The master's gown more often has 

long, closed sleeves, from which 

the arms extend through a slit at 

the wrist. The doctor's gown is 

faced down the front with velvet 

panels and has bell-shaped sleeves 

adorned with three velvet Bars. 

Hoods 

A triangular fold of cloth worn 

over the back of the gown, the 

hood is faced with colors which 

denote the field of study represented 

by the wearer's degree. 

The colors of the lining indicate 

the college or academic discipline 

in which the degree is granted. 

Recipients of the doctor of philosophy 

degree wear royal blue 

hoods, and their caps feature 

golden tassels. Those who have 

earned the doctor of education 

degree wear light blue hoods and 

tassels. 

Colors 

The various colleges and 

academic disciplines of 

The University of Akron are 

represented by the following hood 

and tassel colors:

Banners 

The impressive backdrop for the 

ceremony consists of the banners 

of the twelve colleges and the 

Graduate School. Each banner 

bears the name and founding 

date of the college it represents. 

Banners were first instituted at 

The University of Akron in the 

spring of 1995. 

The University Seal 

and the 

Presidential 

Medallion 

A seal serves to confirm, ratify, or 

secure an emblem, symbol, or 

word that is used to certify a 

signature or authenticate a 

document. The use of official 

seals dates back to the Norman 

Conquest in ro66. During the 

next century, seals were used 

throughout England to authenticate 

documents. Persons of 

rank had unique seals befitting 

their status. Most seals were 

circular or oval-shaped and bore 

heraldic designs embossed on 

their faces. 

The use of seals became part 

of academic tradition in the 

medieval university and continues 

to the present. The University 

of Akron, for example, displays 

its seal on diplomas presented 

to its graduates. 

The coat of arms shown on the 

University's seal includes an open 

book and quill, representative of 

the University's original liberal 

arts curriculum. A lamp oflearning 

shown against a city skyline 

depicts the University's metropolitan 

setting. Three diagonal bars 

represent the private, municipal, 

and state stages of the University's 

history. The phoenix, a mythical 

bird that is consumed by fire 

and rises from its ashes to achieve 

greater glory, is a tribute to the 

University's rebirth following the 

devastating fire of 1899. The seal 

also displays the original Buchtel 

College motto, Fiat Lux (let there 

be light). 

The University's current Presidential 

Medallion, as designed 

in the year zooo by renowned 

artist Don Drumm, consists 

of the University seal, set in a 

necklace of pewter. Originally, 

the Presidential Medallion 

was presented by the Alumni 

Association in 1970, commemorating 

the University's centennial. 

The medallion is a symbol 

of the authority of the president, 

as bestowed by the Board of 

Trustees, that traditionally is 

worn by the president on important 

ceremonial occasions. 

University Seal 

The Ceremonial Mace 

The Ceremonial Mace was 

presented to The University of 

Akron by the Alumni Association 

on Founders Day 1970, in recognition 

of the University's founding 

roo years earlier as Buchtel 

College. 

Since ancient times, maces have 

been symbols of authority for 

many academic and governmental 

bodies. The University of Akron's 

Ceremonial Mace is carried by 

the University marshal at all 

formal academic occasions. 

The most distinguishing feature 

of the Ceremonial Mace is the 

rising phoenix. A mythical bird 

that rose anew from its ashes to 

achieve even greater glory, the 

phoenix is a fitting symbol for 

the University whose predecessor, 

Buchtel College, suffered a disastrous 

fire in 1899 and was rebuilt 

through the generous support of 

alumni and the community.

THE UNIVERSITY OF AKRON: A PROUD TRADITION 

The Ohio Universalist Convention established a small, liberal arts 

college in Akron in 1870 and named it for one of the city's prominent 

industrialists, John R. Buchtel. It was Buchtel who led a group of wo 

individuals and 13 businesses in a fundraising campaign to build the college. On 

July 4, 1871, thousands of area citizens turned out to witness the results of that 

initiative, joining in a great celebration as the cornerstone was laid for a single 

but impressive structure that constituted Buchtel College. Both a visionary and 

a pragmatist, Buchtel believed that the vigor of any city is closely tied to the 

proximity of a high quality institution of higher education. Decades of progress, 

both for the city and for the college he helped to launch, have proven him right. 

With an enrollment of approximately 29,700 students from throughout Ohio, 

the United States, and 77 foreign countries, the successor of Buchtel College is 

one of the largest principal campuses in Ohio. Long committed to an academic 

tradition which stresses excellence, The University of Akron offers more than 

300 associate, baccalaureate, and master's degree programs and options, as well as 

18 doctoral degree programs and four law degrees. Since 1914, the University has 

been accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, and 

it is currently classified at the highest level as a comprehensive, doctoral-degree 

granting institution. Today, more than 155,ooo of its alumni live and work around 

the world. 

This program is not an official graduation list.
