147th Spring Commencement

Susan Robinett Department Chair / Professor of Business, B.S., M.S. Ed., Ph.D. GRAND MARSHAL PROGRAM NOTES Concord University awards the distinction of Summa Cum Laude (“With Highest Honors”) to persons whose cumulative grade point average is 3.80 or above, based on a possible 4.00. The attainment of Magna Cum Laude (“With Great Honors”) status is gained through a cumulative grade point average from 3.60 to 3.79. Cum Laude (With Honors”) graduates have achieved an average between 3.30 and 3.59. Honors in Major Subject (Field Honors) are granted to graduates with a cumulative grade point average between 3.00 and 3.29 who have also achieved an average of at least 3.50 in all courses in their major, teaching field, or elementary specialization. A Brief Historical Background Concord University was chartered by the State Legislature on February 28, 1872, as a branch of the “State Normal School,” to offer the “normal” teaching certificate to those preparing to instruct in area schools. The University opened its doors to its first 70 students at the site of Athens School on State Street. The present campus grew from a 26-acre farm plot purchased from the Vermillion family after fire devas- tated the midtown location in November 1910. Reflecting continued expansion, the name of our institution changed from Concord State Normal School to Concord State Teacher’s College in 1931, to Concord College in 1943, and finally, to Concord University in 2004. The following description of the University’s environment was printed over one hundred years ago in the 1899 Catalog: “The air, the water, and the scenic beauties of the place conspire in producing the health and strength which should distinguish the West Virginian. And these good influences are aided by the absence of all temptations to vice. No school can be more free from all those influences which tend to degrade either the moral or physical well-being of the young.” Concord’s continuing mission is to provide quality, liberal arts-based education, to foster scholarly activities, and to serve the regional community.

ACADEMIC REGALIA Academic regalia, consisting of a gown, a hood, and a cap, dates from the Middle Ages and may be worn on occasion by anyone holding a degree. Golden stoles worn over the black gown dis- tinguish our commencement honor graduates. Holders of a postbaccalaureate degree wear a gown which differs in design and ornamenta- tion, particularly in the sleeves. Hoods symbolizing the master’s and doctoral degrees include in their lining the official colors of the institution from which the degree was received. The color of the velvet on these hoods indicates the field of study, some of which are listed here: white—arts, letters, humanities; drab—commerce, accounting, business;

copper—economics; light blue—education; brown—fine arts; crimson—journalism; purple—law; lemon—library science; green—medicine; pink—music; silver gray—oratory (speech); dark blue—philosophy; sage green—physical education; golden yellow—science; cream—social science; citron—social work

THE SEAL In the Spring of 1915, Dr. Felix Yanowski a Concord chemistry professor was commissioned to design a seal for the institution. The faculty adopted it as the official seal of the institution on March 31, 1915. The only changes made since then have been to change the name to correspond with the name changes of the institution, and to use the date 1872, as the year of Concord’s charter. Concord’s Board of Governors approved the new name, “Concord University,” July 1, 2004. Around the seal is a wreath made of pine leaves, denoting dignity, and oak leaves, denoting strength. At the top of the wreath is a dove of peace. In the center of the seal can be seen the figure of a teacher who is imparting learning to an eager student standing beside him. In the teacher’s hand is a book of literature. At his feet is a palette denoting art. The globe before him signifies science; the dividers are a symbol of mathematics. The vase and cogwheel represent artisanship and industry. In the background are oak trees, symbolic of the forest of West Virginia, and the rhododendron, the state flower. The 1927 Pine Tree yearbook described the remainder of the seal thus: “In the glow of the setting sun, forming a background for this symbolic picture, we see a scene of majesty and splendor, the beauty of those West Virginia Hills.” The above description and early history of the seal were adapted from the unofficial history of Concord University, The Pines , and the 1927 Pine Tree .
