GOUCHER COLLEGE CAMPUS AND ZOOM

The custom of wearing academic dress extends back to medieval Europe and the revival of interest in learning that arose in the universities. The dress is an adaptation of the costume of the monastic order, as most scholars of that time were also members of the clergy. Rules governing academic dress at American colleges and universities come from an intercollegiate code written in 1895.

The mortarboard-style cap is worn for all degrees. The doctor’s cap may be made of velvet; the doctor’s tassel may be gold. Other tassels may be black or the color of the field of learning. Tassels are worn on the left side by those who already have a bachelor’s degree.

Each of the three academic degrees—bachelor, master, and doctor—has its own distinctive gown and hood. The bachelor’s gown is worn closed and has long, pointed sleeves. The master’s gown, which is designed to be worn open, has a long, closed sleeve, and arms are passed through slits near the elbows. The doctor’s gown, also designed to be worn open, has a full, open sleeve with three bars of velvet. The color of the velvet bars may be black or the same color as the trim of the hood.

The hood, which was originally a cowl that was slipped over the head for warmth, is the most colorful and distinctive feature of American academic regalia. Bachelor’s and master’s hoods—three feet and three-and-a-half feet long, respectively—are of similar design, black, and pointed at the base. The doctor’s hood is four feet long with a full shape. The silk lining of the hood represents the institution that granted the degree. Its velvet border indicates the field of learning:

THE REVEREND DOCTOR MARGARET GRUN KIBBEN ’82

RETIRED REAR ADMIRAL, U.S. NAVY CHAPLAIN, U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

On January 3, 2021, Chaplain Margaret Grun Kibben was elected by the House and sworn in by Speaker Nancy Pelosi as the 61st chaplain of the United States House of Representatives.

In her final active-duty assignment in the Navy, Chaplain Kibben was the U.S. Navy’s 26th chief of chaplains, serving as the director of religious ministry for the Department of the Navy, advising the Secretary of the Navy, the Chief of Naval Operations, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, and the Commandant of the Coast Guard on all matters pertaining to religion in their respective services. Prior to this assignment, Chaplain Kibben served as the 18th chaplain of the Marine Corps and deputy chief of chaplains.

Born and raised in Warrington, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia, Chaplain Kibben came on active duty in 1986. Her career spans both Navy and Marine Corps assignments from Newport, Rhode Island; Quantico, Virginia; Camp Lejeune, North Carolina; Norfolk, Virgnia; and San Diego, California. Chaplain Kibben served both ashore, at sea, and abroad, with several deployments to the Mediterranean as well as Norway, Turkey, and Afghanistan.

Chaplain Kibben is a graduate of Goucher College in Towson, Maryland. She received both her master’s of divinity and her doctorate of ministry from Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, New Jersey. She served as a fellow at the United States Institute of Peace and holds a master’s degree in national security and strategic studies from the Naval War College.

Chaplain Kibben is married to retired Lieutenant Colonel Timothy J. Kibben, USMC. They reside in Alexandria, Virginia, with their pride and joy, their daughter, Lindsay Elizabeth. Chaplain Kibben enjoys cycling, swimming, gardening, cooking, and reading.

The following seniors have made gifts to Goucher of at least $20.20 in honor of their classmates and their graduating year, and to help “pay it forward” to future students. Student philanthropy supports all that happens on campus—from financial aid and scholarships to study abroad and internships.

Please join us in honoring these seniors for their giving. Participants will be wearing a blue and gold graduation tassel with a special Goucher “G” charm in recognition of their leadership on this special day. (The donor list is current as of April 30, 2021.)

If we have inadvertently left anyone’s name off this list, please accept our apologies.

Music: Katie Moran Bart Text: Traditional Irish Blessing

Directed by Dr. Daniel McDavittAccompanied by Andrew Stewart, pianist


May the road rise up to meet you;

May the wind be always at your back;

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

And the rains fall oft upon your fields.

Until we meet again, my friend.

May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
