The Latin text quoted above has introduced Bowdoin’s Commencement Program since August 21, 1822. The names

of the 24 graduates of the Class of 1822 were, for the most part, also translated into Latin for the program. In the

early years of the College, each graduating senior was required to deliver a Commencement “part,” an oration on

ancient or modern topics, which was frequently given in one of the classical languages, Latin, Greek, or Hebrew. The

final Latin oration was given in 1893, but the tradition of Latin survives in the language used to dedicate the

Commencement Exercises and to confer the bachelor of arts degree. The translation below was provided by Barbara

Weiden Boyd, Henry Winkley Professor of Latin and Greek.

May it be good, felicitous, and well-omened: [an ancient Roman formula used at the outset of a ritual to ensure its success]

To John Baldacci, esteemed Governor; to the Representatives and Senators

who personally preside over the arts and letters for the State of Maine;and to the honorable and respected Trustees of Bowdoin College;

to Barry Mills, distinguished President;to the entire academic senate; to the venerable religious leaders;

in short, to all patrons of the human race everywhere,the young people hereby initiated into the arts and letters

most humbly dedicate these exercises.

Held in a gathering of Bowdoin College, in Brunswick, in the State of Maine,on the fourth day before the Kalends of June, in the 2004th year of our well-being

and in the 228th year of the authority of the United States of America.

DEGREES

This ancient formula is used by the President in conferring degrees:

Candidati pro gradu baccalaureali, assurgite.

Vir honorande, hosce juvenes, quos censeo idoneos primumad gradum in artibus, nunc tibi offero, ut a te instructus, eos adgradum istum admittam. Placetne? (Placet.)

Pro auctoritate mihi commissa, admitto vos ad primumgradum in artibus, et dono et concedo omnia jura, privilegia,honores atque dignitates, ad gradum istum pertinentia.

In cujus testimonium hasce membranas litteris scriptasaccipite.

Candidates for the Baccalaureate degrees will rise.

(To the Chair of the Board of Trustees) Honored sir, theseyoung people whom I deem worthy of the first degree in Arts, Inow present to you, that, if you so direct, I may admit them tothat degree. Is such your will? (It is.)

(To the Candidates) By virtue of the authority vested in me, I now admit you to the first degree in Arts and do grant and confer upon you all the rights, privileges, honors, and dignitiespertaining to that degree.

In witness whereof, receive these diplomas.

NOTE: The Baccalaureate degrees are awarded individually, and the

graduating class requests that there be no applause until the last degree is

conferred.

At the Commencement Exercises, Bowdoin displays the College flag

and the flags of the United States of America, the State of Maine, and

the home countries or territories of graduating international students —

in 2004, Albania, Bulgaria, Canada, Egypt, Germany, Haiti, Japan,

People’s Republic of China, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Russia, Saudi

Arabia, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, and Vietnam.

ACADEMIC APPAREL

The formal academic attire that distinguishes faculty and graduates at academic ceremonies is a symbol atonce vertical and horizontal. It stretches back into history, to the roots of academic institutions, while atthe same time it forms a bond of union among contemporary academic scholars.

The gown, cap, and hood, which would certainly seem quaint today if worn on our city streets,were originally the ordinary apparel of our medieval ancestors. The gowns varied in elegance according tothe rank and wealth of the owners, and the hood had the practical function of being pulled over the headfor warmth. Many of the medieval universities had strict rules on the subject; at Oxford, for example, themaster of arts had to swear that he owned the dress prescribed for his degree and that he would wear it onall proper occasions. Undergraduates were required to wear their gowns whenever they appeared in thepublic street. After the sixteenth century in Europe different styles prevailed, but the older style wasretained for certain legal, official, clerical, and, especially, academic uses.

In America the gown has been used to some extent since colonial times. It was only in the latenineteenth century, however, that widespread interest — sparked perhaps by the observance in 1886 of the250th anniversary of the founding of Harvard — brought about several developments. In 1887 an enter-prising member of the graduating class of Williams College designed academic gowns for the graduates towear at the Commencement ceremony. The garb was significant and dignified; it was both traditional anddemocratic; it answered a need, and it quickly became popular. In 1895 an intercollegiate code, standardiz-ing the design and the color of each part of the academic regalia, was accepted by nearly all American col-leges and universities.

The gown is usually black, and the cut of the sleeves differs for bachelors, masters, and doctors. Inaddition, the doctor's gown has panels of velvet (usually black) down the front and on the sleeves.

The cap is generally black, with a tassel which is either black or the color of the field of study; adoctor's may be gold. The most common style of cap is the Oxford “mortar board,” with a square flat top,but some variations are permitted.

The hood is the most distinctive part of the costume. It is made of black and trimmed with velvet.Both the length of the hood and the width of the trim vary with the level of the degree, the doctor's beingthe longest and having the widest velvet border. The color of the velvet indicates the field of study in whichthe degree is received: for example, white for arts and letters (bachelor of arts), dark blue for philosophy,brown for fine arts, golden yellow for science, scarlet for theology. The lining of the hood is the color andstyle of the university that confers the degree; these are all specified in the standard code of the AmericanCouncil on Education. Bowdoin College's lining is white and green to symbolize the Bowdoin pines.

Whatever the degree or university, those who don the gown and hood symbolically take theirplaces in the long procession of scholars who have pursued truth and learning and passed it on to others.The consciousness of that fellowship is at once a reward for past efforts and an inspiration for the future.

RAISE SONGS TO BOWDOIN

Words by K.C.M. Sills, Class of 1901New Lyrics by Anthony Antolini ’63

Music by C.T. BurnettArr. by Thornton W. Allen

Raise songs to Bowdoin, praise her fame, And sound abroad her glorious name;To Bowdoin, Bowdoin lift your song, And may the music echo longO’er whispering pines and campus fairWith sturdy might filling the air.Bowdoin, from birth, our nurturer and friendTo thee we pledge our love again, again.

While now amid thy halls we stay And breathe thy spirit day by day,Oh may we thus full worthy beTo march in that proud companyOf poets, leaders and each oneWho brings thee fame by deeds well done.Bowdoin, from birth, our nurturer and friendTo thee we pledge our love again, again.
