Alumni Charge
Bryant College Alumni Association
Commencement is not an ending, but a beginning. Your relationship
with your Alma Mater will not end today, but rather evolve into a
new form. In the Latin Alma means "fo tering mother" and alumnus
meant originally 'ioster child."
Your relationship with your parents doe not end that day you leave
home; rather, as you gain your independence, your ties with your
family become centered around mutual respect, affection and moral
support. So it is with your relationship to Bryant College. As you
move out with hope and courage into your careers or further edu­
cation, you will want to maintain cIo e ties with your Alma Mater.
The vehicle for maintaining those ties is the Bryant College Alumni
Association. Through this organization you will be able to stay in
touch with the friends you have made here, at class reunions and at
local alumni chapter events. You will also be able to utilize the re­
sources of Bryant College as you develop your career path. You in
tum will become a resource for the College. Our alumni erve on
various college committees, curriculum advisory councils and on the
Board of Trustees. We also help to maintain and advance the ex­
cellent reputation of this chool through volunteer efforts on behalf of
admissions, career development, educational programs, and fund­
rai ing. Through the Alumni A ssociation you can playa significant
part in enhancing Bryant College's ability to attract quality faculty
administrators and students.
So today the Alumni Association extends to you an invitation to
begin a life-long relationship with your Alma Mater. Stay in touch.
Let the Alumni Office know where you are and what your late t
accomplishments are. Get involved with local alumni chapters. And
through your individual support and work with other alumni, help
keep Bryant College an outstanding in titution for future generations.
Your efforts will help insure that years from now you will still be able
to point with pride to your graduation from Bryant College.
We extend to you, your family and friends, our congratulations and

Academic Heraldry The history of academic dres worn today dates back to the univer ities
of the Middle Ages. A statute of 1321 required the wearing of gowns by
all cholars and clerics. Probably the warm gown and hood were
practical in the unheated buildings.
Students at most American universitie wore caps and gowns daily
while in residence until after the Civil War. These varied in design until
they were standardized by the American Intercollegiate Commission in
1895. While the academic costume code has been modified over the
years the general characteristics of the initial requirements still prevail.
The uniform system of academic heraldry serves to indicate the level of
degree the field of study in which it was earned, and the institution by
which it was granted. The gown for the bachelor's degree has poipted
sleeves and is designed to be worn do ed. The gown for the master's
degree has an oblong leeve and can be worn open or do ed . The gown
for the doctor's degree has bell-shaped sleeves with black velvet facing
down the front and three bar of the same across the sleeves. However
these facing and crossbars may be in the color di tinctive of the ubject
to which the degree pertains. At Bryant College, the president and the
honorary degree recipients wear gowns e pecially de igned and trimmed
in the College color of gold.
The academic hoods are lined with the color of the university granting
the degree. The border of the hood is in the color of the discipline in
which the degree was earned . For example, colors associated with
different ubjects include: light brown (or sapphire blue) for commerce,
accountancy business; copper for economics' light blue for education;
peacock blue for public administration' purple for law; and white for
arts, letter. humanities.
The length of the hood varie lightly for bachelor's, and master's and
doctor's degree. Today the hood for those receiving bachelor' and
master's degree has been replaced by the mortar-board or cap with
long tas els in black or in the color appropriate to the ubject. It is
often the tradition of the candidates for degrees to wear the tassel on
the right front ide before the degree is conferred and to shift it to the
left when the degree is awarded.
Harriet C. Jacobs Memorial Mace
The College mace is carried at Commencement exercises and at other
College celebrations. Crowned in gold, the mace has the two dominant
emblems of the institution: the seal of the State of Rhode Island and
the seal of Bryant College.
The Bryant seal represent the educational mission of the College and
its worldwide implications. The central symbol is an ellipsoid globe with
quills on each ide to signify the traditional emblem of communication
in business. In the center, behind the globe, is a torch symbolizing
liberty, the spirit of free inquiry, academic freedom, and learning. The
Archway, forming the background for the globe, torch and quills, is a
College landmark affectionately remembered by thousands of alumni.
The Latin motto expresses the purpo e of the College: "Educando
Dirigere Mercaturam" - Education for Busine s Leadership.
