Today’s Commencement

The UniversityIn the mid-1850s, a group of Methodist ministers sought refuge from the brutality of a territory torn by economic and social disagreement. It was decided that such a retreat could only be found in the presence of education. A sanctuary of culture and civility was planned, but it was not until the Palmyra Association made a considerable donation of land that Baldwin City was selected as the location for Kansas’ first university. Named for Osmon C. Baker, the first American bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Baker University was granted a charter by the territorial legislature on February 12, 1858. Throughout its history, the university has produced educated contributors to all fields. Baker boasts four Rhodes Scholars, a Pulitzer Prize winner, and countless others who have made a lasting impact as explorers, clergymen, politicians, writers, and academics. In the 163 years since its inception, Baker has evolved from a small university and preparatory school to a comprehensive university with four schools and degrees ranging from associate to doctorate. From the first graduating class of three in 1866, Baker now serves approximately 3,000 students in Kansas and the Kansas City area and across the country in online programs. The College of Arts and Sciences offers undergraduate degrees in more than 30 areas of study on the Baldwin City campus. The School of Professional and Graduate Studies serves working adults with numerous online and on-site programs in Overland Park. At the School of Nursing, Baker partners with Stormont Vail Health in Topeka to offer bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nursing. The School of Education offers bachelor’s degrees in Baldwin City and master’s and doctoral degrees in Overland Park and online.

CLASS ORGANIZATIONSBaker University’s Class of 1891 began the tradition of naming itself and bequeathing its title to the incoming freshman class. Thus, each organization’s name and traditions are passed on through generations. During any given year, four organizations are represented among the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes: Columbian Commonwealth, Senatus Romanus, King Arthur’s Court, and House of Hanover. The class of 2019 is part of House of Hanover,

the class of 2020 is part of Columbian Commonwealth, and the class of 2021 is part of Senatus Romanus. When the class of 2025 enters Baker in the fall, it will assume the traditions of Senatus Romanus.

Designation of Scholastic HonorsThese designations are applicable to baccalaureate degrees: Summa Cum Laude – With Highest Honors Magna Cum Laude – With High Honors Cum Laude – With Honors

The Academic RegaliaThe pageantry and dress of the academic procession have been inherited from the medieval universities of the eleventh and twelfth centuries where academic life began, first in the Church, then in the guilds. Principal features of academic dress are the gown, the cap, and the hood. The bachelor’s gown has pointed sleeves. Sleeves of the master’s gown are long and closed, with a slit at the wrist. Doctoral gowns have full, bell sleeves with three velvet chevrons across them and are faced with velvet. University presidents usually wear academic regalia that represent the school. The colors of the hood generally represent the school and discipline. Traditional colors associated with disciplines are Maize, Agriculture; White, Arts, Letters, and Humanities; Drab, Accounting and Business; Copper, Economics; Light Blue, Education; Orange, Engineering; Brown, Fine Arts; Russet, Forestry; Crimson, Journalism; Purple, Law; Lemon, Library Science; Green, Medicine; Pink, Music; Apricot, Nursing; Silver Gray, Speech; Dark Blue, Philosophy; Sage Green, Physical Education; Golden Yellow, Science; Citron, Social Work; Scarlet, Theology.

The University SymbolsIn 163 years, Baker has developed many rich traditions. Along with these traditions came a series of symbols holding special meaning to the university and its rituals. The Presidential Medallion was first worn on April 22, 1967, by Baker President James E. Doty for his inauguration. A gift from Doty’s alma mater, Mount Union College in Ohio, the sterling silver and gold medallion is worn by university presidents during ceremonial events, such as commencement and convocation, to signify the official authority and responsibility of the president. The Baker University seal was added as a university symbol when the university celebrated its golden anniversary. Its Latin motto translates “Let him first be a man,” adding to the display of three Greek words: mind, body, and soul. At the center is the lamp of learning on the open book of knowledge.

The Baker University mace symbolizes the power and authority of learning. Commissioned for the 1974 inauguration of Baker’s 24th president, Jerald C. Walker, Walt Bailey, emeritus faculty member whose career at Baker spanned 42 years as a professor of art, created the mace from remnants of Baker’s Centenary Hall and historic Parmenter Hall. Bearing the name of Baker’s 29 presidents, the mace is carried in the procession of official university ceremonies by the Grand Marshal. The traditional symbol was derived from a battle instrument of the knights in the Middle Ages.

Flags The flags represent countries of origin of our graduating students and faculty. This year we have flags representing Antigua and Barbuda, Cameroon, Denmark, Ecuador, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Romania, Russia, United Kingdom, and Vietnam.

JABARA LEADERSHIP AWARDThe Jabara Leadership Award recognizes one graduating male and one graduating female student who demonstrate leadership, academic excellence, departmental involvement, and career potential while completing their degree at Baker.

KOPKE AWARDThe Jennie Howell Kopke and Verda R. Kopke Award for Distinguished Teaching recognizes annually a Baker faculty member who has a record of excellence in teaching and in transforming students into scholars, who brings honor to the university, and who exhibits good moral character.
