REGALIA
HISTORY
Prior to 1980, The University
of Texas at El Paso (and its
predecessors, the Texas College of
Mines and Metallurgy and Texas
Western College) borrowed regalia
for ceremonial occasions. In 1980,
Drama Department faculty member
C.L. Etheridge suggested that the
time had come for UTEP to have
its own unique regalia. President
Haskell Monroe established the
University Heritage Commission to
raise funds for the creation of official
regalia, to include a mace, chains of
office for the President and the Vice
President for Academic Affairs, a
UTEP banner and seal, and a banner
and seal for each of the colleges.
A University seal, depicting El
Paso’s sun, mountains and river,
had been created for Texas Western
College in 1949 by renowned
local artist José Cisneros. This seal
was incorporated into the official
heraldic layout for the University
banner designed by Art Department
faculty member Sally Bishop Segal,
who also designed seals for the
colleges of Liberal Arts, Science,
Nursing and Allied Health (now
the College of Health Sciences),
and the Graduate School. Albert
Ronke, Drama Department faculty
member, designed the seals for the
colleges of Business Administration,
Education, and Engineering. All
eight seal designs in their heraldic
layout were then crafted into fabric
by Esther “Terrie” Cornell. In 2001,
the seals for Engineering, Business
and Health Sciences were updated
by Sally Segal to reflect new
programs offered by those colleges.
UTEP alumnus James Love
created the Chain of Office for the
President, consisting of eight seals
reproduced on two-inch-diameter
enameled disks; the Chain of Office
for the Vice President for Academic
Affairs; and the University Mace.
C.L. Etheridge developed the
ceremonial rituals used in University
commencement since 1981.
BANNERS
Among the many traditions
associated with commencement,
the presentation of the
ceremonial University and
College banners symbolizes the
accomplishments of the graduates
whom we honor on this occasion
and the University’s commitment
to their success. Each banner
bears a unique seal placed on a 4
x 6-foot heraldic field, or saltire,
and each incorporates symbols
and colors that define it:

THE UNIVERSITY MACE
A symbol of authority and
dignity of office, the Mace has
been associated with civil and
academic ceremonies from at
least the 14th century. The Mace
is designed to convey honor,
optimism, hope, accomplishment,
learning and scholarship, and its
association with special events
denotes tradition, solemnity and a
commitment to excellence. At The
University of Texas at El Paso, the
Mace plays a prominent role in all
Commencement and Convocation
ceremonies.
The University Mace is a timeless
and inspiring symbol that combines
forms selected from the distinctive
Bhutanese architecture of the UTEP
campus; the natural landscape of
the Chihuahuan Desert; and the
multicultural heritage of the U.S.Mexico border region. The Mace
captures the University’s rich history
as well as its highly promising
future, from its beginnings as Texas’
first mining school in 1914 to today’s
competitive research university
serving a 21st century student
demographic.
GOWNS, CAPS AND
HOODS
The tradition of the gown, cap
and hood worn at UTEP events
dates back to universities in the
Middle Ages, when such garments
had very practical applications. The
gown and hood kept the chill away
as students and teachers labored
in halls of learning that were often
damp and drafty.
Originally, the mortar board, or
flat square cap, was a hat which,
when removed, provided its wearer
with a flat writing surface. Writing
instruments and paper were kept in
the long sleeves of the gown.
Until modern times, caps and
gowns were made of black fabric
to illustrate the gravity of learning.
Although today’s gowns, caps and
tassels are available in a variety
of colors, the symbolism of color
remains. For example, students who
graduate from UTEP wear a tassel
whose color represents the college
from which they receive their
degrees.
The hood drapes over the
shoulders and is worn by those who
have earned a master’s or doctoral
degree. It consists of a black shell,
lined in satin, and bears the color
of the institution that conferred the
degree. The hoods worn by UTEP
graduates have an orange lining
crossed with a white chevron. The
velvet on the border bears the color
of the field of learning in which the
degree was earned.
COMMENCEMENT STOLES
The University of Texas at El
Paso Alumni Association honors
Faculty and Student Marshals,
Banner Bearers and the University
Banner Bearer with an orange satin
stole bearing the Class Medallion
and Alumni Association logo.
Inaugurated in May 2004, the
stoles are proudly worn by students
who were selected to represent
their college based on their
exceptional academic achievement.
Bearer — selected based on
academic achievement, leadership
and campus involvement — is
considered the highest honor
bestowed upon a student during
commencement. This student
follows the Grand Marshal and
leads the college banners in the
processional. The University Banner
Bearer is the second to receive their
diploma in their respective college.
In the second phase of the
processional, undergraduate and
graduate Student Marshals lead
their fellow candidates and are the
first in their college to receive their
diploma.
The College Banner Bearers
55
carry their college banner and
lead their college in the second
phase of the processional. These
students are second in their college
to receive their diploma except
in the college represented by the
University Banner Bearer.
CLASS MEDALLION
The first class medallion was
created to commemorate UTEP’s
100th Commencement ceremony
in May 1998 at the Sun Bowl
featuring The Honorable George
W. Bush, then Governor of Texas.
Because of the medallion’s
popularity, University officials
decided to create a Class Medallion
for each year’s graduating class
starting in the new millennium. The
Class Medallion unifies graduates
of the spring, summer and winter
graduation classes into a single class
determined by the graduation year.
A scholarship from the Medallion
Endowed Scholarship Fund is
awarded to a commencement
candidate during the spring and
winter ceremonies.
Now in their 17th year, the
medallions have become a tradition
and part of the regalia worn by
graduates at commencement
ceremonies.
56
MINING MINDS
To honor the Class of 2015
Spring Semester graduates, Mining
Minds, the iconic piece of public
art installed in 2010 to enhance
the entrance of The University
of Texas at El Paso campus, will
glow in orange and blue through
the weekend of commencement.
Michael Clapper, the sculptor who
created Mining Minds, honored
President Diana Natalicio by
selecting and converting into binary
code on the pick the final lines from
her Fall 2008 Convocation remarks:
Believe in yourself and in your
dreams. Believe in UTEP and its
aspirations. Share the dream!
At night, light illuminates the
steel structure, while LEDs emanate
from the perforated ones and zeros
at each end of the pick. On special
occasions, including historic dates,
annual milestones and to celebrate
special accomplishments, the pick
illuminates the campus’ entrance.
The majestic pickaxe sculpture
is located in the roundabout
at University Avenue and Sun
Bowl Drive, in front of the UTEP
Bookstore.
DECORACIONES, INSIGNIAS Y TRAJES
CEREMONIALES
HISTORIA
La Universidad de Texas en El
Paso, al igual que sus antecesoras,
Texas College of Mines and
Metallurgy y Texas Western College,
pedían prestados los trajes que
se usaban en algunas ocasiones
solemnes que tuvieron lugar antes de
1980. En el verano de dicho año, el
profesor C.L Etheridge, miembro del
cuerpo docente del Departamento
de Arte Dramático, sugirió que ya
era hora de que UTEP contara con
sus propios trajes de ceremonia. El
Presidente Haskell Monroe fundó
la Comisión Patrimonial de la
Universidad con el fin de recaudar
fondos destinados a la creación de
una serie de elementos decorativos
oficiales, que incluirían un bastón
de mando, collares emblemáticos de
los cargos de Rector y Vicerrector de
Asuntos Académicos, el estandarte
universitario y el escudo, así como
estandartes y escudos para cada una
de las facultades.
En 1949, el renombrado
pintor paseño José Cisneros creó
un escudo universitario para
Texas Western College. Más
tarde, se incluyó el escudo que
representaba el sol, las montañas
y el río de El Paso en el diseño
heráldico oficial del estandarte
de la universidad, diseñado por la
profesora y pintora Sally Bishop,
quién también creó los diseños de
los emblemas para las facultades
de Artes Liberales, Ciencias,
Enfermería y Ciencias Afines (actual
facultad de Ciencias de la Salud),
y la Escuela de Graduados. A su
vez, Albert Ronke, profesor de arte
dramático y escenógrafo, concibió
los diseños de los escudos para las
Facultades de Administración de
Empresas, Educación e Ingeniería.
Los ocho diseños de los escudos
y su disposición heráldica fueron
plasmados en tela por Esther
“Terrie” Cornell. En el 2001, los
escudos de la Facultad de Ingeniería,
de Administración de Empresas
y de Ciencias de la Salud fueron
rediseñados para que se incluyeran
los nuevos programas ofrecidos por
dichas facultades.
Un ex-alumno, James Love,
artista y joyero de El Paso, elaboró
el collar del cargo oficial de Rector,
que comprendía ocho escudos
reproducidos sobre discos esmaltados

como el collar de cargo de Vicerrector
de Asuntos Académicos y el bastón de

Los procedimientos y procesiones

C.L Etheridge y fueron puestos en
práctica desde 1981.
ESTANDARTES
Entre las diversas tradiciones
relacionadas con la Ceremonia de
Graduación, la presentación de
los estandartes ceremoniales de
la Universidad y de las Facultades
simboliza los logros alcanzados por
los graduados a los cuales honramos
en cada ocasión, así como el
compromiso de la Universidad para
que tengan éxito. Cada estandarte
ostenta el escudo oficial de la
universidad colocado en un campo
heráldico de cuatro por seis pies, y
cada uno de ellos muestra los colores
y símbolos que identifican a cada
una de las facultades.

El bastón de mando, símbolo
de autoridad y dignidad del cargo,
ha sido asociado con ceremonias
civiles y académicas desde el Siglo
XIV, por lo menos. El bastón de
mando está diseñado para trasmitir
honor, optimismo, esperanza, logro,
aprendizaje y sabiduría y su vínculo
con acontecimientos especiales
denota tradición, solemnidad y un
compromiso hacia la excelencia. En
la Universidad de Texas en El Paso,
el bastón de mando representa
un papel importante en todas las
ceremonias de graduación y de
convocación.
El Bastón de Mando
Universitario es un perenne
símbolo de inspiración que combina
las formas seleccionadas de la
característica arquitectura Butanesa
del campus de UTEP, el paisaje
natural del Desierto Chihuahuense
y la herencia multicultural de
la región fronteriza de Estados
Unidos y México. El bastón de
mando capta la rica historia de
la Universidad así como su futuro
sumamente prometedor, desde sus
inicios como la primera escuela de
minería de Texas en 1914, hasta la
universidad de hoy en día, dedicada
a la investigación competitiva, que
ofrece sus servicios a la población
estudiantil del Siglo XXI.
la humedad imperantes dentro de
los salones de aprendizaje.
En un principio, el birrete, o sea
la gorra plana cuadrada, se utilizaba
para cubrir la cabeza del estudiante,
y cuando se quitaba podía
emplearse como una superficie
plana para escribir (el papel y
los instrumentos para escribir se
guardaban en las amplias mangas
de la toga).
Incluso actualmente, las togas
y los birretes se fabrican con tela
negra para simbolizar el aspecto
sombrío de la educación. Aunque
hoy en día existe variedad en los
colores de las togas, birretes y
borlas, el simbolismo del color
permanece. Por ejemplo, los
estudiantes que se gradúan de UTEP
utilizan borlas cuyo color representa
la facultad de la cual se están
graduando.
La esclavina la portan
únicamente aquellos que han
obtenido un grado de Maestría o
Doctorado. Consiste en una capa
negra forrada en satín que cuelga
sobre la espalda de la toga; el
color del forro varía según el color
de la institución que confiere el
título. Las esclavinas que portan los
graduandos de UTEP ostentan un
forro color naranja atravesado por
un listón blanco. El terciopelo del
borde ostenta el color del campo de
estudios del cuál se está obteniendo
el título.
TOGAS, BIRRETES Y
ESCLAVINAS
ESTOLAS DISTINTIVAS DE
GRADUACIÓN
EL BASTÓN DE MANDO
UNIVERSITARIO
La tradición del uso de las
togas, birretes y esclavinas que
se utilizan en las ceremonias de
UTEP tiene su origen en los albores
de las universidades medievales,
cuando dicha vestimenta tenía usos
prácticos. La toga y la esclavina
eran utilizadas por los estudiantes y
profesores para abrigarse del frío y
La Asociación de Ex-Alumnos de
la Universidad de Texas en El Paso
honra con una estola de satín color
anaranjado que ostenta el Medallón
de la Generación y el Emblema de la
Asociación a aquellos estudiantes y
profesores que fueron distinguidos
para fungir como Marshals, como
portadores del estandarte universitario
y de la insignia de cada facultad.
59
Los estudiantes que llevan con
orgullo estas estolas instauradas en
mayo de 2004, son seleccionados para
representar a su escuela en base a sus
logros académicos.
Ser Portador del Estandarte
Universitario, es el mayor honor
que se otorga durante la ceremonia
de graduación a un estudiante que
ha sido elegido por su desempeño
académico, liderazgo y participación
en el campus. El galardonado sigue al
Grand Marshal, guía a los estandartes
de las facultades durante la ceremonia
y es el segundo en recibir el diploma
en la facultad que le corresponde.
En la segunda fase de la procesión
ceremonial, los estudiantes de
licenciatura y de posgrado que fueron
designados como Marshals guían a
sus compañeros graduandos y son los
primeros en recibir el diploma de su
facultad.
Los Portadores del Estandarte de
la Facultad llevan el que representa
a su escuela, sirven de guía para
los graduandos de la misma en la
segunda fase de la ceremonia y son
los segundos en recibir el diploma
de su facultad, a excepción de la
representada por el Portador del
Estandarte Universitario.
MEDALLÓN DE LA
GENERACIÓN
El primer Medallón de la
Generación fue ideado con el fin
de conmemorar la Ceremonia de
Graduación del Centenario de UTEP
en mayo de 1998 en el Estadio Sun
Bowl. La ceremonia contó con la
presencia del Honorable George W.
Bush en ese entonces, Gobernador de
Texas.
Debido a la popularidad
del medallón, los funcionarios
universitarios decidieron crear uno
para cada generación a partir del
nuevo milenio. El medallón de
generación une a los graduados de las
generaciones de primavera, verano
e invierno en una sola generación
que se determina por año de
graduación. Durante las ceremonias
60
de primavera e invierno se otorgará a
un graduando una beca del Fondo de
Becas del Medallón.
Los medallones, ahora en
su décimo séptimo año, se han
convertido en toda una tradición y en
parte de las decoraciones, insignias y
trajes que los graduados portan en las
ceremonias de graduación.
CAVANDO MENTES
La icónica pieza de arte público,
Mining Minds, instalada en el 2010
para realzar la entrada del campus
de la Universidad de Texas en El Paso,
brillará de color naranja y azul este
fin de semana de graduaciones para
celebrar a los graduandos del semestre
de primavera de la Generación 2015.
El escultor que elaboró Mining Minds,
Michael Clapper, hizo honor a la
Rectora Diana Natalicio al seleccionar
y convertir en código binario las
palabras de la convocatoria de Otoño
del 2008 para añadirlas al pico: “Crean
en ustedes mismos y en sus sueños.
Crean en UTEP y en sus aspiraciones.
¡Compartan el sueño!”
Por la noche, la luz ilumina la
estructura de acero, mientras que
los pequeños focos emanan de los
unos y ceros perforados en cada orilla
del pico. En ocasiones especiales
incluyendo fechas históricas, hitos
anuales y para celebrar logros
especiales, el pico ilumina la entrada
del campus. La majestuosa escultura
de la punta de pico se ubica en la
glorieta de la Avenida Universidad
y la calle Sun Bowl Drive, frente a la
librería de UTEP.

“Men O’ Mines” (1932; Alma Mater 1956)
In 1932, biology professor Burt Franklin Jenness wrote a seven stanza poem
titled “Men O’ Mines” that was published in that year’s Flowsheet (p. 130).
Band director Rayo Reyes set it to music and Katherine Owsley arranged
the music for four-part choir. By 1934 the song was regularly performed
at games, assemblies and special functions. Copies were sent to civic clubs
throughout El Paso for popularization by club song leaders.
In 1956, music graduate student J. Sande Morrison rewrote the song for
choir. Its first two verses and chorus were adopted with some minor changes
as the new alma mater for Texas Western College after approval by the
Music Department, executive council of the student body, and alumni.
Sometimes the chorus is played alone and called “Miner Victory.”
As the University continues to evolve, the 2015 Spring Commencement
premieres a new version of the Alma Mater, arranged by a member of the
UTEP Chamber Singers, Edward Rodriguez, sophomore in Choral Music
Education.
1. Far beneath the crags of Franklin
Stand our Alma Mater’s halls.
Gleams afar her rock-hewn campus,
Dust brown walls against the hills.
Gem of learning in a country
Whose own wealth of lore enthralls.
Hail the light of Texas Western
And the mission she fulfills!
CHORUS:
Up! Men of mines, and hit the trail;
The Texas spirit shall not fail;
Miners fight for the right!
For the orange and white!
Tamp! Tamp! Tamp! Men of mines,
Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! Men of mines,
Now clear the way, for it’s today,
That we must gain the victory.
2. May the canyon walls above her
Echo back her classic name,
And the deeds of men who leave her
Stir the heights on which she stands.
May the pangs of recollection
Set their memories aflame,
Till they see again the beauty
Of the vista she commands.
