TO OUR GUESTS
Commencement is a significant and solemn event, the recognition of years of study. To make it more meaningful for all, guests and participants are requested to avoid unnecessary conversation and movement during the exercises.
It is requested that applause be withheld during the presentation of degrees until each degree group has been acknowledged and the candidates have returned to their seats.
Following the singing of the Alma Mater and the Benediction, there is a Recessional for the platform party and all degree recipients. The audience is asked to remain seated during this period.
Finally, an Emergency Medical Services station, manned by University personnel, is located at the west side of the Field House. Please ask an usher for assistance.

THE COMMENCEMENT PROCESSION
An appropriate costume is a necessary part of Commencement. The costume includes a cap, a gown, and a hood. Each part of the costume has special significance. The most common head-piece (or cap) for the ceremony is the black square, flat-topped, or "mortar board" type with gold or black tassel. It is called a "mortar board" because it is shaped like the board of the mason which holds mortar. Recently we are seeing large velvet Tam-O-Shanter style of head pieces replacing the mortar board. Some of the velvet tams are brilliantly colored such as orange or bright blue.
The tassel on the doctor's cap is usually gold, and permanently fastened on the left side. The master's cap has a black tassel worn on the left. The bachelor's cap has a black tassel worn on the right prior to graduation then moved to the left during the ceremony.
The hood can be the most colorful part of the entire costume. The colors inside the hood are those of the college or university which is awarding the degree. The colors of the outside rim of the hood symbolizes one of the following departments of learning:
Agriculture Maize Arts, Letters, Humanities White Commerce, Accountancy, Business Drab Dentistry Lilac Economics Copper Education Light Blue Engineering Orange Fine Arts, including Architecture Brown Forestry Russett Geography Blue and Green Home Economics Golden Yellow Journalism Crimson Industrial Education Light Blue Law Purple Library Science Lemon
Medicine Green Music Pink Nursing Apricot Oratory (Speech) Silver Gray Pharmacy Olive Green Philosophy Dark Blue Physical Education Sage Green Public Administration, including Foreign Service Peacock Blue Public Health Salmon Pink Science Golden Yellow Social Work Citron Technology Golden Yellow Theology Scarlet Veterinary Science Gray
The gown is usually black. The traditional doctor's gown has velvet panels down the front and three velvet bars on the regular sleeves. The master's gown has no velvet, but does have unusually long sleeves. The bachelor's gown is similar to the master's gown but has regular long sleeves which tend to be pointed.
Some gowns may be in the color of the department granting the degree, such as "Education Blue." Others may be "Yale Blue" or "Harvard Crimson" for the graduates of these universities.
THE MACE
The mace is an ancient symbol of authority which is carried by the marshal ahead of the academic procession. The mace for Prairie View A&M University is four feet long and contains four bronze figures atop a Honduras mahogany base which tapers to fit into its stand. The four figures are symbolic of the four undergraduate academic years. Within the hollow area beneath the figures, and shared equally, is a flame which denotes knowledge and excellence. The base which serves as a grip and is carried by a faculty member, symbolizes the entire faculty; the stand which supports the mace characterizes the administration. The visual impact of the mace as a whole is "torch-like." The eight tassels represent the academic organization of the University.
THE MEDALLION
The President's Medallion, the official symbol of the Office of the President at Prairie View A&M University, was created especially to commemorate the lineage of the Presidency by the late Mr. Frank Hayden, nationally famous sculptor and Professor of Fine Arts at Southern University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The first medallion was presented to Dr. Percy A. Pierre, fourth president of Prairie View A&M University, on March 21, 1985. The medallion is designed to be worn with academic regalia at all official University programs. Abstract figures, representing the ten academic
disciplines in an attitude of celebration, encircle the outer rim. The inner circle symbolizes the pursuit of excellence throughout four years of teaching and learning. The weave of the chain is the facsimile of that used by the ancient Greeks.
A replica will be presented to each subsequent President during his inauguration. The medallion will ultimately reflect the history of the presidency, revealing names and dates of inauguration.
Alma Mater "Dear Prairie View"
Dear Prairie View, our song to thee we raise, In gratitude we sing our Hymn of praise, For mem'ries dear, for friends and recollections For lessons learned while here we've lived with thee. For these we pledge our hearts full of devotion, To serve thee now, and through eternity.
As days go by, our hearts will not grow cold, We'll love thy purple royal and thy gold We'll through our lives exemplify thy teachings, We'll always strive a blessing to be. Thy children we our love and pride confessing, We'll love thee now, and through eternity.
Words by O. Anderson Fuller Music from "Finlandia" by Sibelius
GOD OF OUR FATHERS
God of our fathers, whose almighty hand Leads forth in beauty all the starry band Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies, Our grateful songs before thy throne arise. Thy love divine hath led us in the past; In this free land by thee our lot is cast; Be thou our ruler, guardian, guide, and stay, Thy Word our law, thy paths our chosen way.
From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence, Be thy strong arm our ever sure defense; Thy true religion in our hearts increase, Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.
Refresh thy people on their toilsome way; Lead us from night to never-ending day; Fill our lives with love and grace divine, And glory, laud, and praise be ever thine. A-MEN.
