Academic Costume1
The caps and gowns worn by graduates and faculty are based on costumes used in universities of the 14th and 15th centuries, particularly at Oxford and Cambridge universities in England. This academic dress has been used in the United States from colonial times and was standardized by an 1895 Intercollegiate Code. Like the military of medieval times with its pages, squires, and knights, the academic world has long had three basic grades of dignity and achievement. These are undergraduates, bachelors, and masters (or doctors}. The distinction between masters and doctors is comparatively recent; both imply the right to teach.
Black is the most common color for academic gowns. There is no trimming on the gowns for the bachelor's or master's degrees. For the doctoral degree, the gown is faced down the front with black or colored velvet and with three bars of the same color across the sleeves. The color in the master's costume is restricted to the hood worn around the neck and down the back. This is edged with velvet or a color which indicates the subject area of the degree received, and is lined with silk in the colors of the institution which granted the degree.
Doctors have a larger and more open hood lined , like the master's hood, with the colors of the degree-granting institution and trimmed with the color of the subject area of the degree received . Gowns have black or colored velvet on the sleeves and the front.

The Regents' Medallion The five-foot Regents' Medallion is displayed at commencements
and other official events of the University of Minnesota Board of Regents. On the face of the medallion, silk screened in the University's colors of maroon and gold, is the seal of the regents.
An antique lamp represents the metaphysical sciences; a telescope, the physical sciences; a plow, the industrial arts; and a palette with brushes, the fine arts. The Latin motto, Omnibus artibus commune vinculum, means "a common bond for all the arts."
The Mace The Mace is used for all University of Minnesota Commencements.
The word "mace" is from Middle English and was originally used to refer to the implement for breaking armor during the Middle Ages. Today its use is more peaceful, for it now is a staff borne by, carried before, or placed near a dignitary as an insignia of his dignity and authority. First designed in 1961 for the inauguration of O. Meredith Wilson, the original mace is made of aluminum and topped by a crystal ball, which symbolizes the illuminating quality and the clarity of thinking that characterizes education. The crystal ball is topped by a star representing Minnesota, the North Star State. The staff, weighing forty pounds, is carried by the most senior professor of the college.
The Torch A tradition unique to UMC is the presence of the academic torch at special ceremonies. The symbolic light of the torch represents the educational philosophy of the University of Minnesota.
The original torch was designed and constructed in 1968 and was used in the last commencement ceremonies of the Northwest School of Agriculture (NWSA). It was then passed from the NWSA student council to a representative of the first graduating class of the University of Minnesota Technical Institute at Crookston-now known as the University of Minnesota, Crookston-to symbolize the shift in educational responsibility from the high school to the college.

The Torch ... Continued
In the summer of 2002, David Badman, a regional artist, metalsmith, and designer, was asked to create a new torch that would reflect the continuing evolution of UMC from its roots in the NWSA to its current status as a baccalaureate institution with a focus on technology. He presented the new torch to UMC as a gift.
Around the top edge of the new torch-just below the flame-five important dates are etched:
• 1851 - The Minnesota Territorial Laws of 1851, chapter 3, establish the University of Minnesota at what is now its Minneapolis campus and vest its
government in a Board of Regents. This statute was approved on February
25,1851.
• 1895 - The Minnesota legislature appropriates $30,000 to procure equipment
and to construct two experimental research farms, one at Morris and one at
Crookston. The Great Northern Railway, under the guidance of James J. Hill,
donates 476.61 acres. The Northwest Experiment Station (now called the
Northwest Research and Outreach Center) is established.
• 1905 - The Minnesota legislature appropriates $15,000 to establish the Northwest School of Agriculture, a regional residential agricultural high school.
The school provides training in "the technical and practical business of agri
culture and in the art of homemaking." The term of schooling begins in Octo
ber and ends in March to accommodate farm students.
• 1966 - Classes begin in September at the University of Minnesota Technical Institute. Associate in Applied Science degrees are offered in three aca
demic divisions: Agriculture, Business, and General Studies. Dedication
ceremonies for the new college are held on November 30, 1966.
• 1993 - The University of Minnesota, Crookston is approved to offer bacca
laureate degree programs by the Board of Regents and the Minnesota Higher
Education Coordinating Board. The programs are accredited by the North
Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Classes for the baccalaureate
degrees begin that fall. UMC also becomes the nation's first "Laptop U"-an
undertaking that places a notebook computer and software in the hands of
each student and that creates a unique interactive learning environment.

National Anthem Star Spangled Banner Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our Flag was still there.
o say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?
University of Minnesota Hvmn Hail! Minnesota
Minnesota, hail to thee! Hail to thee, our college dear! Thy light shall ever be a beacon bright and clear;
Thy sons and daughters true will proclaim thee near and far; They will guard thy fame and adore thy name;
Thou shalt be their Northern Star.
Like the stream that bends to sea, like the pine that seeks the blue, Minnesota, still for thee thy sons are strong and true;
From thy woods and waters fair, from thy prairies waving far, At thy call they throng with their shout and song,
Hailing thee their Northern Star.
