Cecilia Iole BFA, Musical Theatre 4 THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA COMMENCEMENT 2015 The Tradition of Commencement Commencement—from the ancient practice of beginning life’s work at the end of an apprenticeship—has roots eight centuries in the European past. The robes and caps worn by the faculty and graduating students at the University of Arizona follow the style of Oxford University, England. The bachelor’s gown, of poplin or a similar cloth, has long, pointed sleeves; the master’s gown, also of poplin, has long, closed sleeves with square ends and a slit at the elbow for the arm to come through; the doctor’s gown has full, round, open sleeves, is faced with velvet, and has three velvet stripes on the sleeves. The sobriety of the blue or black gowns is relieved by the bright spectrum of colors of hood and tassel indicating the wearer’s field of study. At the University of Arizona, candidates for the bachelor’s degree do not wear hoods, but the colors of their tassels indicate the fields in which they are receiving degrees. The candidates for advanced degrees wear hoods lined with silk in the official red and blue colors of the University. The velvet edging of the hood bears the color of the candidate’s major field. The official color for the Doctor of Philosophy degree is dark blue, regardless of the major field of study. Tassel colors used by advanced degree candidates are: master’s, black; doctoral, old gold. The official degree colors established by the Intercollegiate Code in 1895 are used to represent the following major fields of learning at the University of Arizona: Agriculture and Life Sciences · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·Maize Architecture · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Blue-Violet Business & Public Administration · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Light Tan Education · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Light Blue Engineering · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Orange Family & Consumer Sciences · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Maroon Fine Arts · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Brown Health Professions · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Green Humanities · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · White Law · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Purple Medicine · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Green Music · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Pink Nursing · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Apricot Optical Sciences · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Orange Pharmacy · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Olive Green Public Health · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·Salmon Sciences · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Gold Social & Behavioral Sciences · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · White At the moment the degree is conferred, the new bachelors move the tassels from right to left to signify their changed academic status. The academic procession is composed of the officers of administration, members of the Arizona Board of Regents, deans of colleges, faculty members, doctoral candidates, honorary degree recipients, other award recipients and candidates for master’s and bachelor’s degrees. THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA COMMENCEMENT 2015 5 The University of Arizona Ceremonial Mace The ceremonial—or academic—mace of the University of Arizona reflects the unique character, mission and values of this institution. At Commencement, it is carried by the Chair of the Faculty and signifies the order and authority of the academic procession. The placing of the mace in its stand marks the beginning of the ceremony. Its removal signifies the end of the platform ceremony. In medieval times, maces were used in combat. In time, bodyguards carried maces to protect royalty. By the 16th century, maces took on the elegance of silver, gold and precious stones and were incorporated into academic and civil ceremonies. The symbol of authority for the City of London, for example, is the mace of the Lord Mayor. 6 THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA COMMENCEMENT 2015 The University of Arizona mace features a crown of sterling silver surrounding the seal of the University, which is accented with 22K gold. Underlying the crown are 24 acrylic strips in the school colors of red and blue, which add a jewel-like sparkle. The main shaft is made of local mesquite with a sterling silver band inscribed with “The University of Arizona,” accented with 22K gold. The tailpiece repeats the motif of the crown and surrounds a medallion with an image of a wildcat, the school mascot. We thank the University of Arizona Foundation, the College of Fine Arts and Professor Michael Croft for adding the gift of this mace to our Commencement traditions.

In the evening, while still teaching, Bolding hosted a weekly television interview program, "Women’s Place/Every Place," through an independent channel. Bolding’s evening television journalism stint led her to live news interviews, allowing her to become familiar with key elected officials and political figures, and it allowed her to hone her interest in politics and public service. In 1978, after successfully co-chairing Arizona Gov. Bruce Babbitt’s campaign in Southern Arizona, Betsy served as director of his Tucson office during his eight-year tenure. Having made an important and successful impact in the educational and political spheres, Bolding turned her attention to the corporate arena. At Tucson Electric Power/UNS Energy, Bolding continued her service to the public.

His state championship baseball teams were known for their victories embarrassing the college teams at the UA and Tempe Normal. A student petition was presented to University President A. H. Wilde, asking him to hire McKale as athletic director and coach of all UA sports. Although he was opposed to the hiring, Wilde announced McKale’s appointment on June 2, 1914, at a salary of $1,700 per year. Wilde’s successor, Rufus B. von KleinSmid, was not much more enthused with the benefits of collegiate athletics, and records for 1915 show that McKale’s total appropriation to run his program amounted to $835!

No headgear at all. “Training” consisted of getting up early and running four or five miles—perhaps as far as Fort Lowell and back—before showering and going to class. Sage Green and Silver were the colors of the University of Arizona’s first football team.

Toumey, the botanist for the Agricultural Experiment Station, in the fall of 1891. The garden was moved in 1896 to the area shown here. A heart-shaped plot of ground, with a transported soil cover of about 12 inches over a base of solid caliche, it soon developed into a garden of over 600 species, an interesting contrast to the surrounding lawns, shrubs, and trees.

It is known that besides classrooms, laboratories, and offices, there were some temporary sleeping quarters for faculty and male students, a kitchen and mess hall, space for a territorial weather bureau, and a photographic darkroom. The University was proud of its equipment, both for teaching and research, and took pains to buy from the best suppliers. Roberta R. Delehanty McGuire SOIL, WATER & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE Edward P.

The cities and counties needed money and the territorial Legislature controlled the purse strings. To make matters worse the members of the 13th Territorial Legislature were known to make decisions, for often less than ethical reasons. They had earned the nickname “The Thieving Thirteenth.” There were two major prizes to be won from the Legislature that year. Phoenix and Prescott came out on top. Phoenix was given the asylum for the insane and Prescott kept the state capital. Tucson received an unwelcome consolation prize of the University of Arizona, and with it, a measly $25,000 appropriation, just one quarter of the amount Phoenix received to build the insane asylum.

The response was less than overwhelming. No one offered an inch. One man decided the time had come to take matters into his own hands. Jacob S. Mansfeld was a member of the new Board of Regents. He took a walk into the desert about a mile east of town and picked out a site for the new university. The land was owned by two professional gamblers, E.B. Gifford and Ben C. Parker, and saloon keeper W.S. “Billy” Read. They weren’t all that sure their land was the perfect spot for the new University of Arizona. Finally, on Nov. 27, 1886, the owners agreed and the deed was filed. A year later, on Oct. 27, 1887, ground was broken for the building that was to be known as Old Main. Gabriela R. Valdez Kenneth C.

Shortly before his death on Oct. 18, 1926, Athletic Director J. F. McKale visited him, and asked if he had any message for the team. Whether truth or legend, “Button” is reported to have said, “Tell them … tell them to bear down.” A year later, in December 1927, the men’s junior honorary organization, Chain Gang, sponsored a fundraising dance to paint “Bear Down” on the roof of the gymnasium. A professional sign painter was hired to outline the letters, and the Chain Gang members completed the job in early 1928.

He was the gift of the freshman football team which had raised the funds ($9.91) to purchase him. He was officially named “Rufus Arizona,” after UA President Rufus B. von KleinSmid. On April 17, 1916, Rufus died. The Arizona Wildcat reported that: Information Resources & Library Science Rae Gordon Whitley Jr. International Security John Christopher Burrell Ryan R.

Rufus was memorialized in verse and a Wildcat editorial, which noted that his “growls urged our team to victory” and spoke of his “strength, alertness, tenacity—the true Arizona spirit.” Rufus had several successors in later years.

The cities and counties needed money and the territorial Legislature controlled the purse strings. To make matters worse the members of the 13th Territorial Legislature were known to make decisions, often for less than ethical reasons. They had earned the nickname, “The Thieving Thirteenth.” Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences Claire Elise Goodwin Allison Hackett Wesley Storrs Morehouse Michelle Astrid Palafox Brittan Marie Plunkett Jason Eugene Posey Marla Aimee Rodriguez Jaclyn Tom Sarah Lynn Whitehurst Jacob Scott Yakoubek Studio Art William Alexander Aguayo Seandean Katherine Anderson Elizabeth Sankary Bodzy Aubrie Michelle Brewster Marianne Bui Mara Linn Christiason Connor Ray Cleland Jonathan Patrick Dobbs Paul B.

Phoenix was given the asylum for the insane and Prescott kept the state capital. Tucson received an unwelcome consolation prize of The University of Arizona, and with it, a measly $25,000 appropriation, just one quarter of the amount Phoenix received to build the insane asylum.

Stevens was the man sent to Prescott to win the state capital for Tucson. He came home with what he hoped would be welcomed as good news about the University. Instead of celebrating, Tucson responded angrily. Some reports say the people of Tucson greeted him with a shower of ripe eggs, rotten vegetables, and a dead cat. Thus, the very beginning for the University of Arizona wasn’t all that proud. Rachel Whitney Wagner David M.

The response was less than overwhelming. No one offered an inch. One man decided the time had come to take matters into his own hands. Jacob S. Mansfeld was a member of the new Board of Regents. He took a walk into the desert about a mile east of town and picked out a site for the new university.

The trophy that was awarded to the winner that day (ASU) and still is given to the winner of this annual football game, makes the Territorial Cup the oldest trophy for a rivalry game in America.
