Commencement Procession
Otterbein ColorsIn 1891, Florence Cronise chaired the “Color Committee” to select school colors. The committee chose tan and cardinal, the colors of the Class of 1893. The May 1891 issue of Otterbein Aegis, the Otterbein newspaper from 1890 to 1917, announced the new colors flew marvelously during the annual field day.
The Mace and FlambeauThe mace and flambeau signify the authority of Otterbein, represented by a globe; and the light of learning, represented by a flame. Commissioned by President Kathy A. Krendl in 2014, the pieces were designed and crafted by Professor of Art Donald T. Austin.
The Otterbein SealThe Otterbein seal has remained virtually unchanged since 1926. It contains two of the oldest symbols of learning: the oil lamp and the open book. In almost every religious tradition the lamp is a symbol of enlightenment, of light casting out the darkness. The open book symbolizes education and intelligence. The nine scallops surrounding the seal stand for the three sets of three upon whose work the university rests: Philip William Otterbein, Martin Boehm and John Wesley, the founders of the United Brethren and the Methodist churches; Lewis Davis, William Hanby and Jonathan Dresbach, the three primary founders of Otterbein University; and the Holy Trinity of Christianity.
The ColorsAt the appearance of the colors, the audience will rise and stand until the flags have been placed,
and then be seated during the remainder of the procession.
The Mace The Mace bearer is an honor bestowed upon the senior-most faculty member,
Teri Walter, Professor of Health and Sport Sciences.
The Otterbein University SealThe Seal bearer is an honor bestowed upon the 2021 recipient of the Teacher of the Year Award,
Dee Knoblauch, Professor of Education.
The Flambeau The Flambeau bearer is an honor bestowed upon the 2021 recipient of the New Teacher of the Year Award,
Aida Odobasic, Assistant Professor of Business, Accounting and Economics.

Commencement Concert
Otterbein Love Song
Words by Celia Ihrig Grabill/Music by Grant Grabill, Class of 1900
In a quiet, peaceful village there is one we love so true. She ever gives a welcome to her friends both old and new She stands serene ’mid tree tops green, She’s our dear Otterbein.
CHORUS: Old Otterbein our college, we sing of thee today. Our memories round thee linger in a sweet and mystic way. O Otterbein, we love thee, our hearts are only thine, We pledge anew, we will be true, Dear Otterbein.

The degrees and honors listed will actually be conferred only upon those who satisfactorily meet all requirements as stipulated in the Otterbein University Course Catalog.

Cum Laude–An undergraduate student who has attained a cumulative grade point average of 3.600 to 3.799 is graduated “Cum Laude.” This designation appears on the diploma and permanent transcript record.
With Honors–Honors students were accepted into the Honors Program on the basis of outstanding academic ability, have completed the sequence of Honors courses, and have written an Honors Thesis. The “With Honors” designation appears on the diploma and permanent transcript record. Honors graduates wear a silver medallion with the academic regalia.

Candidates for degrees

Academic Costume
A commission appointed in 1959 by the American Council on Education prescribes a code for academic costume that dictates two components of dress: caps and gowns.
The first component, dealing with caps, allows the mortarboard or Oxford type cap. Occasionally, the Cambridge model, a soft cap resembling a beret, is worn. Either type is correct as long as it is black and of an appropriate material, except that velvet is reserved for recipients of doctoral degrees.
The tassel worn with the cap has three variations. First, it may be black for any degree. Second, it may be in the color of the major field of learning in which the degree was granted. Third, a tassel of gold metallic may be worn by recipients of doctoral degrees and by governing officials of institutions. Some schools make a ceremony of switching the tassel from the right to the left at the moment the degree is awarded as a substitute for individual hooding of candidates.
The second main element of academic costume concerns the gown which should be all black, aside from variations in materials and fullness. The bachelor’s gown falls in straight lines from a fairly elaborate yoke. Its distinguishing characteristic is the long, pointed sleeves. A master’s gown is distinguished by arc-shaped panels on the long or short sleeves. The doctor’s gown is an elaborate costume marked by velvet panels down the front and around the neck as well as by three bars of the same material on the bell-shaped sleeves. It is cut much fuller than the other gowns and, unlike them, may be ornamented in color. Both the paneling and the sleeve bars may show the area in which the degree was awarded.
For the Otterbein Doctoral Regalia, designed in 2013, the panels and bars on the gown are cardinal velvet, trimmed in tan piping. The cap is an eight-pointed velvet tam with a gold tassel. The velvet on the four-and-one-half-foot doctoral hood is specific to the field of study and the hood is lined with cardinal and tan silk.
Presidential Collar and MedallionChains of office, also known as collars, were used as badges of office in the Middle Ages. Today, they are custom-designed metal necklaces worn by the president during academic ceremonies as part of their regalia. The chain of office designed for the 21st President of Otterbein University, John L. Comerford, Ph.D., is made of bronze, a strong and durable metal. The medallion of the necklace is dominated by the University seal. The seal is an appropriate choice for the design of the medallion because it represents the president’s responsibility to the sound education and experi-ential learning of each and every student at Otterbein. The metal connector, or bail, that joins the medallion and the chain, represents the institution’s bond between the faculty, staff and students. Equally, the 32-inch chain represents the joining of the desire to teach and the eagerness to learn demonstrated by Otterbein faculty, staff and students.
