THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
Francesca Lunghi, Artist Diploma ’12
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE REMARKABLE MEN AND
WOMEN OF THE CLASS OF 2012. There will be only a
few times in your life when you can stop and savor your
accomplishments, and this is one of those times. Enjoy it
to the fullest. Your years of hard work and sacrifice have
paid off as you are now a Queens College graduate. You
should be as proud of yourself as we are of you.
With degrees in hand, you will now move on to different
fields to make a career, whether it be as teachers, doctors,
artists, accountants, librarians, sociologists, or scientists.
Your major has prepared you for success in your chosen
field, but the liberal arts education you have received at
Queens College has prepared you for something more.
It has prepared you to tackle problems that can never be
solved by breakthroughs in medicine or technology. It has
prepared you for life.
We are living through a time of remarkable change. The
revolution in computer technology has made us rethink
almost every part of our lives: how we read, how we
gather information, how we listen to music, how we
express ourselves, and how we stay in touch with other
people. But for all the change we have seen and experienced, we are still wrestling with the age-old problems of
war, hatred, and poverty. Indeed, I believe that the greatest
challenge you will face is learning to adapt to a world that
is always changing, while trying to solve those problems
that stubbornly resist change.
But do not let the problems of a troubled world rob you of
your joy in life. And at the same time, do not let the joy
you feel in your own achievements blind you to the fact
that the world is waiting for your help, the world needs
your unique gifts. Make your voice and your ideas heard.
By doing so, you will be living up to the college’s motto
of Discimus ut Serviamus: We learn so that we may serve.
During your years on campus you were part of a
remarkable family. I hope you will still think of the
college as part of your family and stay in touch with
us. Let us know how you fare in the world, the jobs you
take, the families you start, the careers you succeed in,
even your ideas on how we at the college might do
things differently.
It has been my great pleasure to spend part of this eventful
period in your company. I wish you every possible success
in the future.

About Commencement
Today’s ceremonies are root­ed in cen­
turies-old tradi­tions. Com­mence­ment—
from the Old French word commencement, which means “beginning”—was the
name of the cere­mony at which u­ niversity
graduates (then called “mas­­ters”) were
initiated into the teaching profession in
medieval Europe. A com­mence­ment ceremony acknowl­edges the suc­cess of an
institution as well as its students.
The first Queens College com­mence­­­
ment ceremony—honoring the 198-member graduating class—took place on
Monday, June 16, 1941. Stu­­dents, their
families, and friends had decorated the
Quadrangle with flowers brought from
their homes. The procession of dig­ni­
taries, which included President Paul
Klapper, Dean of Faculty Mar­garet Kiely,
Judge Charles Colden, and commencement speaker Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia,
was soaked by a sudden downpour.
This is Queens College’s eighty-eighth
commencement. When the col­lege first
opened, commencement was held twice
a year. Now, although degrees are also
awarded in Septem­­ber and February, formal graduation exercises are held in late
May or early June. Recipients of degrees
awarded during the year are invited to
partici­pate in the formal com­mence­ment
ceremonies.
Marshals are members of the fac­ul­ty
and staff who have volunteered to assist
at commencement. They wear academic
gowns, carry wooden batons, and per­form
various organi­zational assignments, such
as assem­bling and leading the can­didates
in procession.
The academic procession is a tra­di­
tion stemming from early uni­ver­sities.
Centuries ago, such processions were
arranged by the clergy and fol­lowed the
familiar order of religious proces­sions,
with the place of honor at the end. In
today’s ceremony, four col­umns of graduates will march in simul­ta­ne­ously, with
master’s degree candidates at the head
of each column. Banners will identify
each division. Special guests for today’s
ceremony will be members of the 50th
Anniversary Class of 1962, the 60th
Anniversary Class of 1952, and the
70th Anniversary Class of 1942. The
President, Provost, and members of the
platform party—including department
chairs, board of trustee members and representatives from CUNY, the clergy, the
48
deans who represent the candidates, college officials, the commencement speaker,
student representatives, the honorary
degree recipient, and various public dignitaries—will march down the middle aisle,
followed by the faculty.
The Chief Marshal, traditionally a
senior faculty member who has pro­vid­ed
long and faithful service to the college,
leads the platform party and serves as
mace bearer. Though now purely cere­
monial, the tradition of the mace bearer
dates back to medieval England when
an official taking office or opening court
needed a bodyguard. In those times, the
mace was a formid­able weapon, held
ready to pro­tect the official. The Chief
Marshal carries the Queens College mace,
which has historic significance. Made of
dark cherry wood, the mace is adorned
with red granite and sterling silver and
embedded with a bronze medal showing the original college seal. The medal
was presented to Howard Knag, the first
registrar of the college. The seal bears
the college’s motto, Disci­mus ut Servia­
mus, Latin for “We learn so that we may
serve.” The Chief Marshal wears a chain
of office that includes sterling silver links
inscribed with the names and years of past
Chief Marshals. President Muyskens also
will be wearing a chain of office; donated
by past chief marshals, the chain includes
links listing the nine presidents of the college and their tenures.
The gowns worn by the graduates
represent a dignified and truly demo­cratic
custom. At the moment when the de­grees
are conferred, all the gowned graduates
are made equal. Until well into the nineteenth century, it was cus­tomary for many
American stu­dents to wear gowns while
in daily residence at college or at meals.
Now, with the ex­ception of some British
and European schools, few colleges
request that stu­dents wear these gowns
except at grad­uation exercises.
Caps, called mortarboards, with a tassel hanging on the right side are worn by
degree candidates. As the college Presi­
dent confers the degrees, the can­didates
symbolically move the tas­sels to the left
side of the mortarboard.
While academic costumes have been
used in this country since colo­nial times,
there was no uniformity until the late
1890s. Today, the gowns of most universities are black. The hoods worn by
the faculty indi­cate their degrees. The
silk lining of the hood gives the color
or colors of the institution grant­ing the
degree. Traditionally, the shortest hood is
the bachelor’s, the longest and broadest
is the doc­tor’s, and the master’s and specialist’s are mid­way be­tween (although
our bachelor’s degree candidates do not
wear hoods). The color of the velvet
binding or edging designates aca­dem­­ic
disci­plines. Among the more frequently
seen colors are:

A degree is awarded for success­­ful
completion of a program of study. The
first known academic degree, the doc­
torate (from the Latin word docere, “to
teach”), was granted by the Uni­ver­sity of
Bologna in the mid-twelfth century.
At today’s ceremonies, those who will
be hooded represent all students in their
respective degree categories.
Divisional and departmental cere­monies
and receptions that are being held today will
take place approximately thirty minutes after
the college-wide cer­e­mony on the Quadrangle.
For l­ocations, please consult the map on pages
46–47. Programs identifying divisional and
departmental award winners may be distributed
at these c­ ere­monies. Please note that some
departments have already held their cere­monies
and receptions prior to Commence­ment Day.
