THECOMMENCEMENTCEREMONYA PerspectivePurdue University owes a substantial debt to its medieval predecessors for its commencement ceremony and academic attire. The academic heritage that evolved during the Middle Ages provided us with a teaching institution, the university; a method of measuring academic progress, degrees;and a structure for an appropriate ceremony recognizing the student’s achievement, commencement. In June 1875, Purdue University held its firstcommencement outdoors on the Oval, awarding the Bachelor of Science degree to a class of one. In 1903, commencement was moved indoors tothe newly-completed Eliza Fowler Hall. The steady growth of the size of the graduating class necessitated moving the exercises to larger and largerfacilities: the Memorial Gymnasium, the Armory, the Field House, and in 1940, to the Edward C. Elliott Hall of Music. The 244th commencement at theWest Lafayette campus is being held today for graduates who qualified for their degrees at the end of the current semester. The colorful ceremony,enacted each year on campuses throughout the world, is the formal climax and recognition of the graduates’ years of study and preparation.Academic AttireGraduate candidates for degrees wear a black tassel on the left side of the square Oxford cap, or mortarboard, signifying receipt of a previous degree.At Purdue, the color of the trim on the hood identifies the areas of specialization.Doctor of Philosophy (All areas)Areas of SpecializationAgricultureForestryAll OthersEducation (All Areas)Engineering (All Areas)Health and Human SciencesHuman Development & Family StudiesConsumer Science & RetailingNutrition SciHealth & KinesiologyHealth SciencesHospitality & Tourism ManagementNursingPsychological SciencesSpeech, Language Hearing ScienceLiberal ArtsCommunication, Political Science,Sociology, and AnthropologyCreative ArtsEnglish, Lang & Cultures, HistoryPh.D.Hood ColorDark BlueMasterHood ColorsRussetMaizeLight BlueOrangeMaroonDrabLemonSage GreenSalmon PinkDrabApricotNavySilverAreas of SpecializationManagementEconomicsAll othersPublic Policy & Public Administration(All Areas)PharmacyPharmacyPolytechnic Institute (All areas)Science (All areas)Veterinary Medicine (All areas)Doctor of AudiologyDoctor of Nursing PracticeDoctor of PharmacyDoctor of TechnologyDoctor of VeterinaryMasterHood ColorsCopperPeacock BluePeacock BlueOlive GreenRedGolden YellowGrayProfessionalHood ColorsColonial BlueApricotOlive GreenRedMedicine GrayCitronBrownWhiteUndergraduate and professional candidates for degrees wear a tassel on the right side of the square Oxford cap, or mortarboard.

THE USE OFACADEMIC EMBLEMSThe SealSeals are common to all corporate bodies and have been used since ancient times to authenticate documents. They constituted the officialsignatures of emperors, bishops, and corporations. University seals evolved from those of church corporations. In Europe, the early facultiesand student nations possessed seals; in the United States, all colleges and universities have had seals since Colonial days. The current PurdueSeal was officially adopted in 1969 and retains elements of earlier versions, which evolved beginning in 1890. The seal features a stylizeddepiction of the griffin, the mythological beast with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion. In medieval heraldry, the griffin symbolizedstrength. The three-part shield represents Purdue’s traditional aims: learning, discovery, and engagement. The seal combines these traditionalelements with modern simplicity of design to form one of the most distinctive of university symbols.The University MaceThe mace has an ancient history as a symbol of authority. Originally giant clubs made of iron and capable of breaking armor, maces wereused chiefly by knights. They were also often borne by a royal bodyguard to protect the king in processions. In the course of time, by the 14thcentury, they assumed more ceremonial functions and lost their warlike appearance, as they began to be decorated with jewels and preciousmetals. In 1649, the English House of Commons obtained a mace. In 1756, a silver mace was made for the colony of South Carolina; it is still inuse in the state capital at Columbia. In the United States House of Representatives, the mace is placed to the right of the speaker. As a symbolof order and authority, a mace is carried before the president and other dignitaries in the platform party in commencement processions. As areflection of the modern vision of a truly American university, the design of the Purdue Mace embraces sweeping thrusts and counterthruststo create a vital energy within an otherwise clean, linear aesthetic. The University seal is located in the center of the mace-head; bounding itare two sweeping silver wings.The PresidentialMedallionClosely allied with maces and seals as symbols of authority are the collars of office worn by many officials, including chancellors and presidentsof universities. Collars usually include a medallion inscribed with the seal of the institution and are worn over the academic gown on publicoccasions, particularly at commencements. Located in the center of Purdue’s Presidential Medallion is the three-part “heraldic shield” andgriffin, the symbol which has existed throughout Purdue’s long history of University seals. The medallion, as well as the mace, was handcraftedfrom sterling silver, ebony, and gold, using the centuries-old techniques of swedging, forging, hollow-forming, and silver soldering.The BannersThe banners, sometimes known as standards or gonfalons (a flag that hangs from a crosspiece or frame), originated in the medieval republicsof Italy as an ensign of state or office. They have been adopted in many universities around the world as school or institutional insignias. Thefourteen banners displayed represent the University, the Graduate School, and the twelve undergraduate colleges or schools at the WestLafayette campus. The colors of the University, old gold and black, are joined together in a pattern common to all the banners. The bands arethe same colors as the tassels worn on the mortarboard of the college’s or school’s graduates.Each college or school is represented on its banner by a symbol and two colored bands indicating its major academic discipline.The Teaching MedallionThe medallion identifies members of the Purdue University Teaching Academy, a dedicated and dynamic network of scholar-teacherscommitted to the continual improvement of teaching and learning at Purdue University. Under the auspices of the Office of the Executive VicePresident for Academic Affairs, the Teaching Academy works with the academic schools, the Center for Instructional Excellence, and others toenrich the educational experiences of the entire Purdue University community. The mission of the Teaching Academy is to provide leadershipand serve as a catalyst to enhance and strengthen the quality of undergraduate, graduate, and outreach teaching and learning.3

He was recruited to PurdueUniversity in the Markey Center for Structural Biology in 1991. His research has focused on the replication and assembly of thealphaviruses, picornaviruses, and the flaviviruses. Together with his structural biology colleagues including Michael Rossmann(until his passing in 2019), he has been involved in many fundamental studies examining the structure and assembly of viruses,including dengue and Zika viruses. He served as Department Head of Biological Sciences from 2005-2016 and Director of theBindley Biosciences Center, from 2007-2015.

Starkey Prize in Mechanical Engineering, the Bottomley Research Scholarship and, twice,the Gordon Hall Mechanical Engineering Scholarship.Tanmay has accepted to join the University of Michigan as a masters student in Mechanical Engineering this fall, and continues toexplore employment opportunities.Tanmay DasCollege of EngineeringBachelor of Science in MechanicalEngineeringThe main gates to the campus were given to the University by the Class of1897 in keeping with a long-standing tradition. Facing State Street and lookingsouth to the ag campus beyond, they were wide enough to permit the bicycleand buggy traffic of their youth. But with the advent of fewer horses andmore horsepower not too many years later, they were moved farther apart.The gateways were removed from their permanent location in 1956 beforeconstruction was begun on Stewart Center and now stand on the MemorialMall near John Purdue’s grave. In this photo, Heavilon Hall and the originalEliza Fowler Hall can be seen in the background.14
