President’s Ceremonial Stole<br />
Presented to President Elson S . Floyd during his<br />
first commencement ceremony at Washington State<br />
University in fall 2007, the ceremonial stole signifies the<br />
ethnic diversity the University seeks in all its endeavors<br />
and displays a dynamic visual presentation . Researched<br />
and designed by faculty member Linda Arthur Bradley<br />
with contributions from apparel, merchandising, design,<br />
and textiles students, the stole is made of textiles from<br />
locations including Ecuador, India, Scotland, and Japan .<br />
Many came from personal collections of Bradley or her<br />
colleagues, some were available commercially, and four<br />
were hand-woven by fiber artists specifically for the stole .<br />
Master Salish weaver Susan Pavel hand-spun and wove<br />
two pieces of traditional Indian design . Other custom<br />
pieces include a Hawaiian hand appliqué by Charlotte<br />
Hughes, an American coverlet sampler by Cynthia Hosek,<br />
and embroidered pieces representing the Nez Perce<br />
tradition by Ann MacCormack .<br />
President’s Chain of Office<br />
During commencement ceremonies and other special occasions, the<br />
president of Washington State University wears the President’s Chain<br />
of Office . The medallion features the WSU shield with Cougar head,<br />
and the links are engraved with the names and dates of service for<br />
each past WSU president, starting with George Lilley, who served<br />
from 1891 to 1892, and ending with V . Lane Rawlins, who served from<br />
2000 to 2007 . Blank links allow engraving of names and service years<br />
for future presidents .<br />
The Chain of Office was created at the request of V . Lane Rawlins, who<br />
became president of WSU on June 8, 2000 . He wore it for the first time<br />
during his inauguration on March 28, 2001 .<br />

COMMENCEMENT <strong>2012</strong><br />
Washington State University, on the occasion<br />
of its twelfth annual fall <strong>Commencement</strong>,<br />
cordially welcomes all those who have come to<br />
the <strong>Pullman</strong> campus to share in ceremonies<br />
honoring the graduating class of <strong>2012</strong> . To class<br />
members, the Class of <strong>2012</strong>, the University extends<br />
sincere congratulations .<br />
WSU enrolls 27,299 students statewide . This includes<br />
19,257 undergraduates and 3,624 graduate and<br />
professional students learning at the <strong>Pullman</strong> and<br />
Spokane campuses or through distance education .<br />
At the Tri-Cities and Vancouver campuses, 4,418<br />
undergraduate, graduate, and professional students<br />
are enrolled .<br />
<strong>Commencement</strong> is the special occasion that provides<br />
public recognition of students’ academic achievements<br />
. The transcript is the official document certifying<br />
the successful completion of specific academic<br />
requirements . The diploma is mailed after the<br />
ceremony .<br />
The first WSU <strong>Commencement</strong>, held June 24,<br />
1897, recognized eight students being advanced to<br />
degrees—three in engineering, one in biology, two in<br />
economics, and two in English . This followed a legislative<br />
act in 1895 empowering the college to grant<br />
Within academic areas on either side of the floor, the names<br />
of the degree recipients are called in random order as they<br />
approach the readers. Students will be viewed on big screens<br />
as their names are read.<br />
the fall <strong>2012</strong> commencement program includes degree<br />
candidates from august <strong>2012</strong> through december <strong>2012</strong>. those<br />
previously awarded degrees are noted with an asterisk. (*)<br />
the program is not a listing of those attending the ceremony.<br />
appearance of a name in this program is presumptive<br />
evidence of graduation and graduation honors, but it must<br />
not in any sense be regarded as conclusive. notation on<br />
the university transcript remains the official testimony of<br />
degree possession.<br />
14 2 012 fall commencement<br />
the usual academic and honorary degrees and issue<br />
diplomas . 1 With the construction of Bryan Hall in<br />
1909, <strong>Commencement</strong> moved to the well-equipped<br />
Bryan Auditorium . Enrollment and the number<br />
of degree candidates increased over the years, and<br />
<strong>Commencement</strong> moved to Bohler Gymnasium following<br />
its construction in 1928 . Following World<br />
War II and the burgeoning enrollment created by<br />
the return of students receiving veterans’ benefits<br />
(G .I . Bill), <strong>Commencement</strong> was moved outdoors to<br />
Rogers Field in the football stadium (1949-1973) .<br />
Because it was always possible that inclement<br />
weather would disrupt the ceremonies, it was necessary<br />
to duplicate arrangements in Bohler Gymnasium<br />
. However, only twice in those years—1954<br />
and 1963—was it necessary to move the outdoor<br />
ceremony indoors . In 1973, with the completion of<br />
Beasley Coliseum, <strong>Commencement</strong> moved indoors<br />
permanently .<br />
In 1986, the University’s <strong>Commencement</strong> Committee<br />
recommended decentralizing <strong>Commencement</strong><br />
to make the event more personal for graduating<br />
students . The WSU administration approved, and<br />
from 1986 through 1996, an All-University <strong>Commencement</strong><br />
Assembly was held in the coliseum,<br />
and individual college ceremonies took place in<br />
the coliseum, Bohler Gymnasium, Bryan Auditorium,<br />
Compton Union Building Ballroom, and<br />
Hollingbery Fieldhouse . Beginning with the 100th<br />
<strong>Commencement</strong> in May 1996, the college ceremony<br />
times were changed to allow some to precede the<br />
All-University Assembly . In 1998, due in part to<br />
construction in Bohler, the administration approved<br />
a <strong>Commencement</strong> Committee recommendation<br />
to hold two ceremonies . Starting in 2000, a three-<br />
ceremony format (two ceremonies in the morning<br />
and one in the afternoon) was instituted . There was<br />
a historic <strong>Commencement</strong> change during the 2001-<br />
1 Historic sketch of the State College of Washington,<br />
1890–1925, by e.a. bryan
2002 academic year . For the first time, WSU held two<br />
<strong>Commencement</strong>s, one during fall semester (December<br />
15, 2001) and the other during spring semester<br />
(May 11, 2002) .<br />
This is the University’s twelfth fall commencement<br />
since its founding in 1890 .<br />
THE UNIVERSITY MACE<br />
The University Mace, a traditional symbol of authority,<br />
will lead the processional today . The mace is<br />
carried by the chair of the Faculty Senate with an<br />
honor guard consisting of the presidents of the<br />
undergraduate and graduate and professional student<br />
associations . Robert Greenberg carries it today, accompanied<br />
by Kyle Erdman, president of the Associated<br />
Students of WSU, and Ericka Christensen, president<br />
of the Graduate and Professional Student Association<br />
of WSU .<br />
Created in 1985, the two-foot-long, nine-pound scepter<br />
is cast in silver and bronze and features a globe<br />
atop a laurel branch, wrapped in a silver ribbon and<br />
inscribed “Washington State University .” According<br />
to designer and craftsman Tim Doebler of WSU’s<br />
Department of Fine Arts, “the globe represents the<br />
universality of education and the quest for knowledge<br />
. Laurel crowns were presented to academicians<br />
by the ancient Greeks .”<br />
The anvil is a symbol of forging and molding education,<br />
rather than forcing it upon students .<br />

academic regalia<br />
ACADEMIC REGALIA<br />
Academic regalia arose through evolution and modification of the robes worn<br />
by medieval students, who were usually clerics in the cathedral schools and<br />
monasteries established by the church . As early as 1321, a medieval statute<br />
required that all doctors, licentiates, and bachelors wear academic gowns and<br />
hoods . Gowns were necessary for warmth in the unheated medieval buildings,<br />
and hoods may have been designed to cover tonsured heads . Today,<br />
immediately after receiving a charter, new institutions adopt a distinctive design<br />
for academic attire expressive of their individuality .<br />
On May 26, 1895, a group of institutional representatives met at Columbia<br />
University to establish a uniform code for academic regalia in this country .<br />
The approved academic attire for all graduates is composed of a cap and gown .<br />
For master’s and doctoral graduates, a hood is included . The basic article of attire<br />
is the gown, usually black in color, and similar in design for all degrees with the<br />
sleeves being the principal indicator of degree level . Gowns for those graduating<br />
with a bachelor’s degree have pointed sleeves; the sleeves on master’s gowns arc<br />
away at the front; and doctoral gowns have round, bell-shaped sleeves . Bachelor’s<br />
and master’s gowns are untrimmed while doctoral gowns feature distinctive<br />
velvet facing down the front and three velvet bars on each sleeve .<br />
The hood has become the colorful standard-bearer of academic symbolism .<br />
By examining the hood, an informed observer should be able to identify the<br />
degree level, the academic field of study in which the degree was earned, and<br />
the institution that conferred the degree . The hood is made of the same material<br />
as the gown . Hood length varies according to degree: bachelor’s—three feet,<br />
master’s—three and a half feet, and doctor’s—four feet in length and has panels<br />
at the sides . The color or colors of the hood lining indicate the institution that<br />
conferred the degree (crimson and gray for WSU) . The hood is trimmed or edged<br />
in a border of velvet either two, three, or five inches in width for the respective<br />
degrees . The border color represents the faculty or field of study in which the<br />
degree was awarded . At WSU, bachelor’s degree candidates do not wear hoods .<br />
The approved cap of the academic costume is the mortarboard or Oxford cap—a<br />
stiff board nine inches square, placed on a soft cap and joined in a pointed design<br />
in front and back . The color is always that of the gown and uniformly black<br />
for the four-year degrees . The use of velvet has been reserved for the cap of the<br />
doctor’s degree . A silk cord with a tassel made of many threads is attached to a<br />
button in the center of the board .<br />
A distinctive commencement rental gown for students earning Ph .D . and Ed .D .<br />
degrees debuted in spring <strong>2012</strong> . The gown is crimson with gunmetal-gray velvet<br />
accents and a matching velvet tam . WSU is the only university with a custom<br />
rental gown . The purchased version of the custom gown is designed with a split<br />
hood, two silver WSU shield medallions holding the hood in place, two WSU<br />
medallion cufflinks on each sleeve, and other embellishments .<br />

council on education on its “academic<br />
costume code” states the<br />

The Star Spangled Banner was ordered played at military and naval occasions by President Woodrow<br />
Wilson in 1916, but was not designated the national anthem by an act of congress until 1931. the words<br />
were written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key, who had been inspired by the sight of the American flag still flying<br />
over fort mchenry after a night of heavy british bombardment. the text was immediately set to a popular<br />
melody of the time. at almost every occasion, only the first verse is sung.<br />

The Star Spangled Banner<br />
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,<br />
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?<br />
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,<br />
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?<br />
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,<br />
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.<br />
Oh say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave<br />
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?<br />
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,<br />
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,<br />
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,<br />
As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses?<br />
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,<br />
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:<br />
’Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave<br />
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.<br />
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore<br />
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion<br />
A home and a country should leave us no more?<br />
Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep’s pollution.<br />
No refuge could save the hireling and slave<br />
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:<br />
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave<br />
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.<br />
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand<br />
Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation!<br />
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land<br />
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.<br />
Then conquer we must, for our case it is just,<br />
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”<br />
And the star-spangled banner forever shall wave<br />
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!<br />
