degrees only if they meet all academic and financial requirements.

PROGRAM NOTES
THE CEREMONIAL MACE
The Ceremonial Mace, a symbol of presidential authority, is carried at the head of
the academic procession by the College Marshal, Mrs. Elsie Earlley. The Mace, a gift
of the Alumni Association, was designed and executed by Dr. Seymour Blinderman,
formerly of the Art faculty, and Mr. Henry Katzwinkel. The Mace was first used at the
inauguration of President Chester T. McNerney.
The Mace, twenty-seven inches high, is topped by a sterling silver sphere studded by
cone-shaped rubies. The neck of the Mace is inlaid with rosewood, alternated with silver
fleur-de-lis. Cultured pearls mounted on cups encircle the top of the shaft. Discs of silver
interspersed with rosewood compose the shaft which ends with tip-casted silver. Sunken
cultured pearls encircle a rounded cone with textured silver to end in a small globe.

PROGRAM NOTES

Academic Vestments
The gown, the cap and the hood, representing the major components of the academic
dress, are a ceremonial inheritance from the medieval universities of the eleventh and
twelfth centuries, where dress was the outward sign of privilege and responsibility. The
academic dress worn by those participating in today’s academic processional symbolizes
the level of their academic attainment and the institution they attended.

Gown
Although the gown is more frequently black, certain universities have authorized
the use of colored gowns. The bachelor and master gowns are fashioned from black serge.
The yoke for the bachelor gown is designed to be worn closed and features long, flowing
and pointed sleeves. The master gown is designed to be worn open or closed. Its sleeves
are very long with square ends, and the front part has an arc cut away. The arms protrude
through a slit at the elbow. The gown for the doctor degree is made of wool, serge, or silk
with an open front faced with wide velvet panels. The sleeves are loose and bell-shaped
with three bars of velvet in black or the color of the discipline in which the doctorate
was obtained.

Hood
The most outstanding feature of the academic dress is the hood. It is usually worn
only for the master’s and the doctor’s degrees. The doctor’s hood is longer than the
master’s hood and has distinguished panels. The college or the university granting the
degree is indicated by the color or coloring of the hood lining. The velvet trim of the hood
indicates the field in which the degree was granted.

Cap
The standard cap is the mortarboard, usually the color of the gown. The tassel is
black for the baccalaureate and master degree and is worn over the left front quarter of
the cap. The tassel for the doctor’s mortarboard is of gold thread. Undergraduates wear
the tassel on the right side of the cap until the moment the degree is conferred by the
president.

MEMORIAL FOUNDATIONS GIFTS
“They received, each for his own memory, praise that grows not old, and with it the
grandest of all sepulchres, not that in which their mortal bones are laid, but a home in the
minds of men, where their glory remains fresh to stir to speech or action as the occasion
comes by. For the whole earth is the sepulchre of famous men; and their story is not
graven only on stone over the native earth, but lives on far away, without visible symbol,
woven into the stuff of other men’s lives.” — Thucydides

AMSCO Founders Memorial Fund Scholarships
The trustees of the American Sterilizer Company Founders Memorial Fund make
three awards available for outstanding students who have graduated from Erie County
high schools.

Jack Finegan, April 1969
Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Finegan provide a $50 annual award to an outstanding male
English student who shows a tendency to write prose or poetry that is intended to make
mankind aware of the needs of his fellow-man and that places an emphasis on the desire
to make the world a better place in which to live. This award was established in memory
of their son. Jack Finegan, a former student at Edinboro State College.

Mildred Forness Memorial Loan for Library Science Students
Miss Forness held a position at the College from 1922 until her retirement in 1969.
During that time she served in many capacities, including head of the Library and head
of the Library Science department. Her relatives and friends have contributed to
establish loans for library science students.

Lois Caldwell North, Class of 1886
Two $100 annual scholarships have been endowed in memory of Mrs. Lois Caldwell
North by her daughter, Eleanor North of State College, Pa. The awards are made each
year to students who plan to enter the ministry upon completion of their education.

Helen Sabin Reed, October 1966
A $10,000 endowment was given to Edinboro State College in memory of Mrs. Helen
Sabin Reed, a member of the education faculty since 1961. Because Mrs. Reed was a
specialist in the reading field, the yearly $500 scholarship will be awarded to an element­
ary education major. Mrs. Theo Sabin Meyer of Erie; Mrs. Mildred Sabin Young, Los
Angeles, California, sisters; and a brother, Robert W. Sabin, Long Beach, California,
established the gift.

Vlahakis Award, January 1972
Each year a $300 scholarship award is made available to a student of Edinboro State
College who is majoring or planning to major in chemistry. The award has been estab­
lished by Mrs. Thekla Vlahakis of Pittsburgh in memory of her late husband, George K.
Vlahakis, and two sons, Walter and William.

SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS
Chess Club Scholarship
Each year the Chess Club offers a prize for active student members. The award is
based upon academic standing and United States Chess Federation ratings. The Chess
Club Scholarship is funded through monies earned from sponsoring chess competition
on the college campus.

FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM
Programs of financial assistance and the low cost of attending Edinboro State
College have made higher education a reality for most students possessing the desire
and ability to achieve such a goal.
Over $5,400,000 in financial assistance has been received by students at Edinboro
State College during the 1975-1976 academic year through the following programs:

The Bruce Manville Morrison Fund
The fund was established by the estate of the late Bruce Manville Morrison to pro­
vide financial support for Edinboro State College graduate students. Awards are made
on a continuing basis to graduate students who can document financial need. The
Morrison Fund also has provisions for the acquisition of rare books for the College
Library.

Russian Language and Area Study Scholarships
Eight Russian Language and Area Study Scholarships were granted this year to
promising high school seniors desiring to combine a major in Russian with a secondary
specialization in either Economics, Business, Accounting, or Engineering. This pro­
gram, funded in part by industrial firms, is intended to prepare the scholarship winners

PROGRAM NOTES

MEMORIAL FOUNDATIONS GIFTS

Academic Vestments

“They received, each for his own memory, praise that grows not old, and with it the grandest of all
sepulchres, not that in which their mortal bones are laid, but a home in the minds of men, where their
glory remains fresh to stir to speech or action as the occasion comes by. For the whole earth is the
sepulchre of famous men; and their story is not graven only on stone over the native earth, but lives on
far away, without visible symbol, woven into the stuff of other men’s hves.”—Thucydides

The gown, the cap and the hood, representing the major components of the academic dress, are a
ceremonial inheritance from the medieval universities of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, where dress
was the outward sign of privilege and responsibUity. The academic dress worn by those participating in
today’s academic processional symbolizes the level of their academic attainment and the institution they
attended.

AMSCO Founders Memorial Fund Scholarships
The trustees of the American Sterilizer Company Founders Memorial Fund make three awards
available for outstanding students who have graduated from Erie County high schools.

Jack Finegan, April 1969
Gown
Although the gown is more frequently black, certain universities have authorized the use of
colored gowns. The bachelor and master gowns are fashioned from black serge. The yoke for the
bachelor gown is designed to be worn closed and features long, flowing and pointed sleeves. The master
gown is designed to be worn open or closed. Its sleeves are very long with square ends, and the front part
has an arc cut away. The arms protrude through a slit at the elbow. The gown for the doctor degree is
made of wool, serge, or silk with an open front faced with wide velvet panels. The sleeves are loose and
bell-shaped with three bars of velvet in black or the color of the discipline in which the doctorate was
obtained.

Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Finegan provide a $50 annual award to an outstanding male English student who
shows a tendency to write prose or poetry that is intended to make mankind aware of the needs of his
fellow-man and that places an emphasis on the desire to make the world a better place in which to live.
This award was estabUshed in memory of their son. Jack Finegan, a former student at Edinboro State
College.

Mildred Fomess Memorial Loan for Library Science Students
Miss Forness held a position at the College from 1922 until her retirement in 1969. During that time
she served in many capacities, including head of the Library and head of the Library Science depart­
ment. Her relatives and friends have contributed to establish loans for hbrary science students.

Lois Caldwell North, Class of 1886
Hood
The most outstanding feature of the academic dress is the hood. It is usually worn only for the
master’s and the doctor’s degrees. The doctor’s hood is longer than the master’s hood and has distin­
guished panels. The college or the university granting the degree is indicated by the color or coloring of
the hood lining. The velvet trim of the hood indicates the field in which the degree was granted.

Cap
The standard cap is the mortarboard, usually the color of the gown. The tassel is black for the
baccalaureate and master degree and is worn over the left front quarter of the cap. The tassel for the
doctor’s mortarboard is of gold thread. Undergraduates wear the tassel on the right side of the cap until
the moment the degree is conferred by the president.

Two $100 annual scholarships have been endowed in memory of Mrs. Lois Caldwell North by her
daughter, Eleanor North of State College, Pa. The awards are made each year to students who plan to

Helen Sabin Reed, October 1966
A $10,000 endowment was given to Edinboro State College in memory of Mrs. Helen Sabin Reed, a
member of the education faculty since 1961. Because Mrs. Reed was a specialist in the reading field, the
yearly $500 scholarship will be awarded to an elementary education major. Mrs. Theo Sabin Meyer of
Erie; Mrs. Mildred Sabin Young, Los Angeles, California, sisters; and a brother, Robert W. Sabin, Long
Beach, California, established the gift.

ALMA MATER
Hail to Thee, our Alma Mater Glorious,
Fresh Wreaths we bring to bind Thy brow
Trials have past and Thou hast stood victorious
Never fairer never statelier than now,
O Edinboro, Edinboro
Ever praising Thee in song
While class speeds class as swift years pass
To Thee our hearts belong.
