2 The Beginning OVERVIEW Twas built by the toil of our fathers: To its glory our voices swell. Hail to old Fort Hays State! This is our Heritage: This Is Fort Hays State Fort Hays State University (FHSU) is a state, taxassisted liberal and applied arts university established and maintained by the state to serve the people of Kansas. The university was established to satisfy a need felt by the early settlers for educational facilities in the new region. Martin Allen, a horticulturist who came to Hays in 1873, and other Hays residents, conceived the idea of using the Fort Hays Military Reservation land, about to be abandoned by the government, for experimental and educational purposes. The fort was abandoned in From that time until 1900, the proposal for its use was repeatedly presented to Congress by farseeing residents of the area. In 1900 the federal government enacted legislation granting the land to the state of Kansas for a state college, an agricultural experimental station, and a state park. In 1901 the Kansas legislature accepted the grant. On June 23, 1902, the university opened with 34 students, two faculty members, and 19 courses. For two years, sessions were held in two old buildings on the fort grounds. In 1904, the first stone building was completed on the flats adjacent to Hays and the young institution was moved to its present location. The university opened as the Western Branch of the Kansas Normal School of Emporia. The curriculum for the first two years consisted of the upper two years of high school supplemented by courses in teaching methods. After 1910, the first degree, A.B. in Education, was authorized at this time, although the degree was later changed to B.S. in Education. Liberal arts degrees of A.B. and B.S. were authorized in Graduate work leading to the master s degree was first offered in 1929; in 1958 the university was given permission to grant the specialist in education degree. During its years of educational service, the university has had several changes in its name. In 1914, the Hays Normal was made independent of the Emporia Normal School and its name became Fort Hays Kansas State Normal School. In 1923, the name of the university was changed to Kansas State Teachers College of Hays. The right to confer liberal arts degrees was approved by the Board of Regents early in 1931 and the legislature authorized the change to the name of Fort Hays Kansas State College in the same year. In 1977, the name of the university was changed to Fort Hays State University. 2 FORT HAYS STATE UNIVERSITY 113th COMMENCEMENT

21 Science, Technology and Mathematics The College of Science, Technology and Mathematics combines complementary academic programs to meet the ever-growing national need for science graduates. As a college, we have a shared mission of contemporary science education, novel educational opportunities, applied research and technical training, and community outreach. The combination of traditional and applied academic areas in a single administrative unit allowed students to directly experience the connections across science disciplines. This kind of cross-pollination created a deeper understanding as they gained foundational knowledge and technical skills.

55 Honors at Graduation There are three levels of academic honors at commencement. Summa cum laude is awarded to graduates achieving a grade point average of 3.90 or above on their cumulative and FHSU coursework, magna cum laude to graduates achieving a grade point average of 3.80 to 3.89 on their cumulative and FHSU coursework, and cum laude to graduates achieving a grade point of 3.60 to 3.79 on their cumulative and FHSU coursework. Each student graduating with academic honors must have attended the University for one of the last two years, and at least 60 hours must be earned in an institution offering regular upper-division credit. Honors are based on all undergraduate work completed. While honors will be listed in the commencement program for those who may reasonably anticipate them, the listing in the program is not a guarantee of receiving honors. The listing and reading of honors for spring degree candidates are based on the grade indexes achieved at the beginning of the student s final semester. The official honor awarded based on final grade indexes will be noted on the student s diploma and transcript.

71 Academic History History of Commencement The First Annual Commencement took place on July 2, 1903 at the Grand Army of the Republic Hall in Hays, after being postponed from May 1903 because one of the graduates could not get back to Hays from Emporia. Flooding prevented the train from making its trip. Freda Schwaller, Fred E. Lindley and Ida Shaffer were the first graduates of the Western Branch of the Kansas State Normal School. Final exams and commencement were cancelled in May 1951 after a flood hit the campus on May 22. The graduates were honored at the summer school commencement later that year. Through the years, commencement exercises have been held in Sheridan Coliseum, Lewis Field and Gross Memorial Coliseum. History of the Academic Mace The mace has an ancient history as a symbol of authority. In medieval times it was a studded, clublike weapon. Made of iron and capable of breaking armor, these giant clubs were chiefly used by knights. They were also often borne by a royal bodyguard to protect the king in processions. By the 14th century, maces assumed more ceremonial functions and lost their warlike appearance. They were often decorated with jewels and precious metals. The ceremonial mace stands for lawful power and regal authority. Eventually the mace also became a symbol for academic institutions, an emblem of order and authority in the pageantry of ceremonial occasions. The first dated record of the ceremonial academic mace goes back to 1385 at the University of Vienna. The Songs of FHSU In the history of FHSU, there have been five different songs that were adopted by general usage. The words and music of the first song, the Kansas State Teacher s College Hymn, were written by Pearl Sidenius, who was a member of the faculty from 1915 to Some years later, Dr. Rob Roy Macgregor, faculty member, wrote the words of a College Anthem which was sung to the tune of Men of Harlech. Jack Juergens, a music faculty member from 1948 to 1951, An academic mace is traditionally carried in procession and mounted on stage whenever degrees are granted or when the faculty is assembled in formal academic dress. During commencement ceremonies at Fort Hays State University, a mace is carried by the University Registrar before the president and other dignitaries in the platform party. The Fort Hays State University mace was designed and crafted by Mr. Dale Ficken, Associate Professor of Art, in late August - September 1969 for the inauguration of Dr. John W. Gustad, the fifth president in the history of Fort Hays State University, on October 5, wrote the words and music of the University Anthem, the third of the songs to be used as the Alma Mater. The fourth song is the University Hymn written by Dr. Donald Stout, who conducted choirs at FHSU for 36 years. The song, originally titled A Song for Fort Hays, is sung and played by the choirs and bands of FHSU. The fifth song, University Fight Song, used in athletic contests, is an adaptation of the Northwestern University fight song. University Colors Soon after President Lewis came to the campus, he suggested that since the official color of the school was old gold (from the previous connection with the Normal School at Emporia) the school ought to adopt an additional color to distinguish it from Emporia. The color suggested was black. This would give the school the colors of gold and black, which would enable it to adopt the tiger as its athletic symbol. President Lewis was from Missouri, where he was, of course, loyal to the Missouri Tigers. 71

72 Academic Regalia The academic apparel worn at commencement ceremonies has its origins in the 12th and 13th centuries when scholars (whether student or teacher) at European universities wore hoods and gowns as their customary, daily attire. The long gowns may have been necessary for warmth in unheated buildings. Since there was a close tie between early universities and the Church, it is not surprising that academic gowns resembled cassocks and elaborate clerical vestments. The American fashion of academic caps and gowns derives mainly from the gowns worn at Oxford University. The bachelor s gown is primarily distinguished by its long pointed sleeves. The master s gown is similar, except for having oblong sleeves from which the forearm protrudes through a slit near the elbow. The doctor s gown has rounded sleeves and also has velvet panels around the neck and down the front of the gown, as well as three velvet bars on the sleeves. Hoods are typically worn with the master s and doctoral gowns. Hoods are permitted to be worn with the bachelor s gown, but it is customary in many large institutions to dispense with the hood. Originally, the hood was used as a cowl, cape, and when hung from the shoulder a sack to collect alms. It is said that when large wigs were in fashion, the cap section of the hood then fell back clear of the wig. This hood style continues to today, with the narrow end of the hood shaped as a neckband connecting the two halves of the cape. Like the gown, the hood differs for the various degrees. The doctor s hood is the longest and is a fuller shape than the master s hood and is usually bordered with velvet, the color of which indicates the kind of degree. The hood is lined with silk in the colors of the institution that granted the degree. The edging of the hood is velvet or velveteen, three inches wide for the master s hood and five inches wide for the doctor s hood. The traditional rule is that a candidate for a degree should not wear the hood of that degree until it is actually conferred. The assignment of colors to signify certain degrees was a later development and was standardized in the United States in the late 19th century. A significant contribution to the development of this system was made by Gardner Cotrell Leonard of Albany, New York. Mr. Leonard designed gowns for his class at Williams College. Following the publication of an article by him on academic dress in 1893, he was invited to work with an Intercollegiate Commission consisting of representatives of leading institutions of higher education to establish a suitable system of academic apparel. In 1932 the American Council on Education (ACE) reviewed and approved the code of academic dress. In 1959 and 1986, the ACE reviewed the costume code and made several changes. For all academic purposes, these colors are associated with the different academic disciplines: Agriculture- Maize Arts, Letters, Humanities- White Commerce, Accountancy, Business- Drab Dentistry- Lilac Economics- Copper Education- Light Blue Engineering- Orange Fine Arts, Architecture- Brown Forestry- Russett Journalism- Crimson Law- Purple Library Sciences- Lemon Medicine- Green Music- Pink Nursing- Apricot Oratory (Speech)- Silver Gray Pharmacy- Olive Green Philosophy- Dark Blue Physical Education- Sage Green Public Admin., Foreign Service- Peacock Blue Public Health- Salmon Science- Golden Yellow Social Work- Citron Theology- Scarlet Veterinary Science- Gray The traditional cap is the mortarboard with black cloth cover. Although it came into popular use in the 16th Century, its origins are clouded. Some believe it is shaped to resemble a book; others claim it is patterned after the mortarboard of a master craftsman or the quadrangle shape of an Oxford campus. The mortarboard has a long tassel that is fastened by a button on the top. The tassel worn at some institutions reflects the color representing the degree earned. However, the tassel worn at Fort Hays State University represents the traditional colors of the university: black and gold. 72

73 Symbols University Seal The circular seal was originally adopted in The artist who designed it was Marjorie Meade Jacobs. The college was established on the old Fort Hays military reservation. The building depicted in the seal is the old stone block house, which was a part of the fort. In typical fashion for the building, the seal features a flag pole and hills in the background. In 1992, it was updated for digital purposes by FHSU Creative Director Mary Ridgway. The university seal is exclusively reserved for official documents such as diplomas, transcripts, certificates and ceremonial recognition gifts. Banners and Flags During the processional, a representative from each college carries a banner stating the college s name. The banner signifies the division of the university colleges. Flags are displayed during the ceremonies in recognition of the graduates countries of origin. For 2016, the following countries are represented among FHSU graduates: Bahrain Brazil Canada China Gambia Germany Guatemala India Italy Jamacia Jordan Kazakhstan Kenya Madagascar Nepal Nigeria Norway Pakistan Panama Paraguay Puerto Rico Russia Saudia Arabia Singapore South Korea Turkey United Arab Emirates Military flags are also displayed in recognition of those graduates who have served or are currently serving in the armed forces. President s Medallion In 1969, Dr. John W. Gustad approached Mr. John Thorns, art faculty member, concerning FHSU s lack of symbols connected with the formality of office, such as a medallion or mace. To rectify this, Gustad commissioned the Department of Art and Design to create three items for his presidential inauguration: a mace, a relief statue and a presidential medallion. The mace, created by Mr. Dale Ficken, is typically used for ceremonial purposes. More information on the mace can be found in previous sections of the program. Mr. Jim Hinkhouse designed the relief sculpture, second of the three symbols, which was placed at the back of the room during Gustad s inauguration. This sculpture has since been destroyed. The presidential medallion was fashioned by Mr. Olli Valanne. Made of silver, this piece of jewelry features a unique design. According to Thorns, the medallion was created in recognition of the individual who is president. It is to be used in conjunction with all academic affairs and is worn any time the president of the university wears the academic regalia. In 2014 Todd Voth, FHSU graduate and jeweler at Showcase Jewelers of Hays, created a special chain from which the medallion hangs. The chain is adorned by nameplates engraved with the names of former presidents of the university. The medallion has been passed down to each consecutive president after Gustad and will continue to represent the leadership and FHSU in the future. 73
