University, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2015 winter commencement ceremony. This day is one of life’s best because it celebrates a tremendous personal achievement for each graduate. We honor their hard work and the sacrifices made along the way, and we join these graduating students in saluting family members and friends who have offered encouragement and support. Since the fall of 1968, the University has experienced unbelievable change – in staffing; physical plant; locations; programs; and, most certainly, in enrollment. Yet, in spite of all this change, our commitment to providing high academic standards in our classrooms, personal attention to our students, and educational opportunity for all has remained constant. We are proud of what we do here, and we are proud of the graduates we send out to make a difference in the world. Presiding over our commencement ceremonies is one of my favorite tasks because I witness so much joy and excitement. Today is a very special day – a day that marks the end of one journey but the beginning of so many others. Congratulations to our graduates, and may all of you find professional success and personal happiness as you go. Dr. Jack P.

The Bachelor’s Degree The bachelor’s degree is the oldest academic degree used by American institutions of higher learning. The degree was first conferred in America in 1642 on nine young men comprising the first graduating class of Harvard College. The bachelor’s degree, or baccalaureate, represents completion of a four-year collegiate course of study. The Master’s Degree The master’s degree is academic honor conferred upon students who have successfully completed one or two years of work beyond the baccalaureate. A thesis and an oral examination are usually required. The term’s present meaning derives from the oldest universities in Europe, when the circle of academic pursuit was limited to seven liberal arts. Those who received public honors upon the completion of their studies and who already had received the degree baccalaureus were called magistri atrium (master of the arts). The Doctoral Degree Doctor is a term meaning teacher, or instructor, and was applied by ancient Romans to those who delivered public lectures on philosophical subjects. From the 12th century, it became a title of honor for men of great learning. It was first made an academic title at the University of Bologna, in Italy, which received from the emperor the right to appoint doctors legume (doctors of laws). There are two types of doctoral degrees: the professional degree and the research degree. The first represents advanced training for the practice of professions such as medicine, pharmacy, law or nursing. These degrees carry no implication of original research. The research doctorate represents prolonged advanced study, usually accompanied by a dissertation designed to make a substantial contribution to existing knowledge on the subject. The degree confers upon those who attain it the title doctor of philosophy, although the degree no longer is associated with the study of philosophy. It was first awarded in the United States by Yale University in 1861. 68 Wilmington University Forty-Fourth Annual Commencement Leadership and Serv ic e Awar ds Trustees’ Award for Service The Trustees’ Award for Service is awarded to a graduating senior and to a graduating master’s or doctoral student for outstanding service to fellow students, to Wilmington University, and/or to the community. Audrey K. Doberstein Award for Leadership The Audrey K. Doberstein Award for Leadership is awarded to a graduating senior and to a graduating master’s or doctoral student for outstanding leadership and dedication to the philosophy and mission of Wilmington University. Delta Epsil on Rho Honor So c ie t y Pl ed g e I pledge to continue a personal effort to achieve the highest forms of scholarship of which I am capable. I will demonstrate willingness to accept responsibility, to maintain an open, inquiring mind, and to provide service to my community, state, nation and world. My pledge is to become the best I can be through continued learning. I will think and act critically, creatively, and humanely. As I strive for the highest accomplishments, I will attempt to develop my personal and professional potential with reason, imagination, and human concern. 69 Ac ademic S y mbols Academic Costume The traditional black caps and gowns worn in the academic procession have been the costume of scholars since medieval times. They probably were adapted from ecclesiastical garb, since many scholars in the Middle Ages were clerics. In 1895, an intercollegiate commission drafted a uniform code for academic costumes, which the majority of colleges and universities in the United States have adopted. Each of the three academic degrees has its own distinctive gown and hood. The gown representing the bachelor’s degree has a long, pointed sleeve; the master’s a narrow sleeve; the doctor’s a full, bell-shaped sleeve with three bars of velvet. The opening of this gown is faced with wide velvet bands, which may be or of a color indicating the wearer’s general field of leaning. The most colorful and distinctive part of the academic costume is the hood, which passes around the neck and extends down the back. The color of the velvet edging indicates the wearer’s field of learning. The colors of silk lining exposed in the center of the hood are those of the college or university that conferred the degree.

The University Mace The University mace, was created for the 1971 commencement and has been used at each subsequent commencement ceremony. The mace, which is a traditional symbol of authority, includes the seal of Wilmington University, wrought in brass, on a walnut staff. The Banners The seven commencement banners identify the disciplines whose graduates this ceremony honors. Each banner incorporates the University seal, together with colors that echo the graduates’ hoods. Each college has its own academic honor society. Students wearing colored cords or sashes are wearing the colors which signify membership in the honor society of their particular college. 70 Wilmington University Forty-Fourth Annual Commencement Wel come to t he Alumni Asso c iat ion On behalf of the Wilmington University Alumni Association, I would like to congratulate the 2015 graduating class.
