YMNJoyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

Joyful, joyful, we adore theeGod of glory, Lord of love;Hearts unfold like flowers before thee,Opening to the sun above.Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,Drive the dark of doubt away;Giver of immortal gladness,Fill us with the light of day.All thy works with joy surround thee,Earth and heaven reflect thy rays,Stars and angels sing around thee,Center of unbroken praise.

orest, vale and mountain,Field and forest,Flowery meadow, flashing sea,Chanting bird and flowing fountain,Call us to rejoice in thee.Thou art giving and forgiving,Ever blessing, ever blest,Wellspring of the joy of living,Ocean depth of happy rest!Thou our Father, Christ our brother,All who live in love are thine;Teach us how to love each other,Lift us to the joy divine.Mortals, join the happy chorusWhich the morning stars began;Father love is reigning o'er us,Brother love binds man to man.Ever singing, march we onward,Victors in the midst of strife;Joyful music leads us sunwardIn the triumph song of life. Amen.

Ludwig van Beethoven, 1824

ACADEMIC REGALIA THE BANNERS Academic regalia is a tradition dating from the Middle The banners carry the seals of the Presbyterian ChurchAges, when long robes and hoods were everyday at- (U.S.A.) and of Whitworth College. Designed for thetire, designed to protect against the cold and drafts of 1988 Commencement by Professor Walter "Spike"medieval university halls. It remains the costume at Grosvenor and constructed by Grosvenor, his wife,some British universities. Erlene, and Professor Barbara Fib, these banners are aThe many variations in academic dress are not inci- permanent part of the Commencement exercises.dental, but are rich in meaning. Each costume repre- GRADUATION HONORS sents both the degree held by the wearer and the insti-tution that awarded it. While in Europe each univer-sity has been free to adopt whatever design it wished,a considerable degree of standardization has beenachieved in the United States. Following are some ofthe elements of the code of academic dress.HOOD: The hood, which is draped down the back,carries more symbolic significance than any other partof the costume. The border, extending over the shoul-ders to meet in a "V" at the front, indicates by its col-ors the discipline in which the degree was earned.Colors for some of the faculties are: white, arts, let-ters, humanities; cream, social science; dark blue, phi-losophy; light blue, education; scarlet, theology; pink,music; golden yellow, natural science; lemon, libraryscience; drab, business, accounting; and sage green,physical education.The lining of the hood, partially exposed, is in the col-ors of the university that granted the degree (forWhitworth, red and black). Doctoral hoods are longerthan those of master's degree recipients and have awider border. Recipients of the bachelor's degree donot wear hoods.GOWN: Black gowns are the rule, but a few universi-ties use other colors. A doctor's gown is most readilyrecognizable by three horizontal velvet bars on eachsleeve, either black or in the color of the discipline inwhich the degree was granted. Typically, a doctor'sgown also has velvet panels down the front. The typi-cal master and bachelor gowns do not have decoratedpanels or sleeves.CAP: The familiar hard-topped mortarboard, or "Ox-ford cap," has long been standard, but a soft tam isincreasingly common. The tassels are usually black orthe color of the discipline. The tassel on a doctor's capis usually metallic gold.

Graduation honors at Whitworth College are based onthe traditional Latin wording, "cum laude" (with honor),"magna cum laude" (with high honor), and "summacum laude" (with highest honor). The criteria for thesehonors are based on the grade point average earned atWhitworth College, and are as follows: cum laude,3.50 and above; magna cum laude, 3.75 and above;summa cum laude, 3.90 and above.Honor cords are awarded to baccalaureate candidatesbased on cumulative GPA. Gold cords signify summacum laude, silver cords are used for magna cum laudeand red cords denote cum laude.Membership in the Laureate Society is granted to ev-ery degree-seeking, undergraduate student who com-pletes the previous semester with a minimum gradepoint average of 3.75 for a minimum course load of12 graded semester credits. Eligibility for the academicachievement award is based on the highest cumula-tive grade point average for a graduating senior whohas completed the entire baccaulaureate degree in full-time attendance at Whitworth College.

CLARIFICATIONS (1) Participation in Commencement and inclusion inthe Commencement program does not guarantee offi-cial granting of a degree. The Graduate Office/gradu-ate program (master's) and the Registrar's Office (bac-calaureate) verify completion of all coursework anddegree requirements before a degree is conferred.(2) The official document verifying degree completionis the Whitworth College transcript signed and sealedby the Registrar.(3) Academic honors appearing in this program arebased upon credits completed prior to spring semester1997. Final honors recognition will appear on tran-scripts and is based upon Whitworth College academiccredits used to meet requirements.
