Annual Commencement

INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
The Commencement Ceremony
These tribal ri tes have a very long history. They go back to the ceremony of initiation
for new universi ty teachers in mediaeval Europe. It was then customary for students,
after an appropriate appr('nticesh ip to l(,lIrning and ,he prcscntntion of n thesi s tiS their
masterpiece, to be admitted to !Ill." Guild of Masters of Arts and granted the license to
tench . In the ancient University of Bologna this right was g ranted by aut hOri ty of the
Pope and in the name of the Holy Trinity. We do not Ihis day cla im such high authority.
As in any other gui ld , whether craft or merchant, tlw master's status was crucial.
In theory at least, it sep,lrtacd the men from the boys , the competent from the incompCllmr. On the way to hi s masler 's degree, a studen t migh t colleCt n bachelor's degree
in recogn ition of the fac t tha t he was half-trained. or pnrtiatly cCluipped . The doctor's
degree was somewha t diffe ren t. Originally in distinguishnbl e from the master's, the
doc tor'S gradually emerged by a process of escalation inlO n supcnnasisteria l role-first
of a ll in the highe r faculties o f theology, law, and medicine. It w ill come as no surprise
that th e lawyers had a particular and early yen for thi s specia l di stinction.
These grndation s and di stinctions arc refleered in the qU:linl a nd colorful niceties of
academic dress.
Of particular inte rest is the cap or mortarboard . In the form o f the biretta it was the
peculinr sign of the master. Irs use has now spread fa r beyond thn t highly select group
to school girls and choir boys a nd even 10 thl! nu rsery schooL Sic Inwsil. ...
The gown, of course, is Ihe basic livery of the scholar, with its clea r ma rks of ran k
and status- the pointed sleeves of the bachelor, the oblong sleeves of the master, the
full sleeves and vel vcr trimmings of the doctor. The doctors, too, may depart from
bas ic black a nd break OUI into many co lors - Harvard cri mson or Y<"I le blu e or the
scarlet splash of Oxford.
Color is the very essence of the hood : color in the main body to identify the universiry; color perhaps in thc binding to proclaim the su bject of the degree-orange for
engineering, gold for SCience, the baser copper for economics, white for a rts and letters,
green for medicin e, purple for I<n...., scarler for theology, and so on. Size is a further
variable, as the hoods tend 10 lengthen from the three feet of the bachelor to the four
of the doc tor. So the birds arc known by their plumage.
With this colo r <"Ind symbolism , which is mediaeval tho ugh mutated, we stage our
brief moment of pageanny, paying homage to Ihn l a ncient communi ty of scholars in
whose shadow we stand , and acknow ledgi ng our debt to the university as one of the
great insti tutional const ructs of the Middle Ages. Whil e louki ng back, however, we also
celebrate the achievements of this present generation of studen ts and look forwa rd to
the future of these our younge r colleagues, whom wl' now welcome to our midst".
