THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDALLION
The first presidential medallion was presented
to former President Foster F. Diebold during the
May, 1981 commencement ceremonies. Designed
and executed by Professor Henry Katzwinkel, the
sterling silver medallion consists of a three and
one-half inch pectoral pendant featuring on its face
the figure of a Gordon Highlander with pipes. To
the right of the piper is the Cross of St. Andrew. To
the left is the Cross of England. Flanking the figure
is the date 1857, the opening year of the University,
and garland thistles. In the background are the
hills of Scotland, and beneath the piper is an open
book, a symbol of knowledge. On the reverse side
is the simken crest of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
shields, alternately bearing three different designs:
the meigle, an interlacing knotwork peculiar to the
Pictish school of Celtic art; the Tudor rose design;
and "ESC" in interlocking letters on a background
of tabby weaving. Connecting each of the collar
shields is a Cross of St. George, representing the
union of Scotland and England. The entire
medallion was fabricated and cast in the cire
perdue (lost wax) process.
Surrounding the silver medallion is a gold
crafted circle which reads "Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania." Professor Katzwinkel, now retired,
added this piece to the medallion especially for the
Inauguration of President Frank G. Pogue in 1997,
and it is now a permanent fixture to the medallion
representing the school's current status as a
University.
The pendant descends from a shield
containing a triple-towered castle. The collar of the
medallion is comprised of a series of two-inch
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.
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 of the
hood lining. The velvet trim of the hood indicates
the field in which the degree was granted.
GOWN
Although the gown is more frequently black,
certain universities have authorized the use of
colored gowns. The bachelor's and master's gowns
are fashioned from black serge. The yoke for the
bachelor's gown is designed to be worn closed and
features long, flowing and pointed sleeves. The
master's 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's 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
CAP
The standard cap is the mortarboard, usually
the color of the gown. The tassel is black for the
baccalaureate and master's 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.

THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDALLION
The first presidential medallion was presented
to former President Foster F. Diebold during the
May, 1981 commencement ceremonies. Designed
and executed by Professor Flenry Katzwinkel, the
sterling silver medallion consists of a three and
one-half inch pectoral pendant featuring on its face
the figure of a Gordon Highlander with pipes. To
the right of the piper is the Cross of St. Andrew. To
the left is the Cross of England. Flanking the figure
is the date 1857, the opening year of the University,

shields, alternately bearing three different designs:
the meigle, an interlacing knotwork peculiar to the
Pictish school of Celtic art; the Tudor rose design;
and "ESC" in interlocking letters on a backgroimd
of tabby weaving. Connecting each of the collar
shields is a Cross of St. George, representing the
union of Scotland and England. The entire
medallion was fabricated and cast in the cire
perdue (lost wax) process.
Surrounding the silver medallion is a gold
crafted circle which reads "Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania." Professor Katzwinkel, now retired,
added this piece to the medallion especially for the
Inauguration of President Frank G. Pogue in 1997,

University.
The pendant descends from a shield
containing a triple-towered castle. The collar of the

THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDALLION
The first presidential medallion was presented
to former President Foster F. Diebold during the
May, 1981 commencement ceremonies. Designed
and executed by Professor Henry Katzwinkel, the
sterling silver medallion consists of a three and
one-half inch pectoral pendant featuring on its face
the figure of a Gordon Highlander with pipes. To
the right of the piper is the Cross of St. Andrew. To
the left is the Cross of England. Flanking the figure
is the date 1857, the opening year of the University,
and garland thistles. In the background are the
hills of Scotland, and beneath the piper is an open
book, a symbol of knowledge. On the reverse side
is the simken crest of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
shields, alternately bearing three different designs:
the meigle, an interlacing knotwork peculiar to the
Pictish school of Celtic art; the Tudor rose design;
and "ESC" in interlocking letters on a background
of tabby weaving. Connecting each of the collar
shields is a Cross of St. George, representing the
union of Scotland and England. The entire
medallion was fabricated and cast in the cire
perdue (lost wax) process.
Surrounding the silver medallion is a gold
crafted circle which reads "Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania." Professor Katzwinkel, now retired,
added this piece to the medallion especially for the
Inauguration of President Frank G. Pogue in 1997,
and it is now a permanent fixture to the medallion
representing the school's current status as a
University.
The pendant descends from a shield
containing a triple-towered castle. The collar of the
medallion is comprised of a series of two-inch
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.
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 of the
hood lining. The velvet trim of the hood indicates
the field in which the degree was granted.
GOWN
Although the gown is more frequently black,
certain universities have authorized the use of
colored gowns. The bachelor's and master's gowns
are fashioned from black serge. The yoke for the
bachelor's gown is designed to be worn closed and
features long, flowing and pointed sleeves. The
master's 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's 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
CAP
The standard cap is the mortarboard, usually
the color of the gown. The tassel is black for the
baccalaureate and master's degree and is worn
over the left front quarter of the cap. The tassel for

Undergraduates wear the tassel on the right side of
the cap until the moment the degree is conferred
by the president.

and executed by Professor Flenry Katzwinkel, the
sterling silver medallion consists of a three and
one-half inch pectoral pendant featuring on its face
the figure of a Gordon Highlander with pipes. To
the right of the piper is the Cross of St. Andrew. To
the left is the Cross of England. Flanking the figure
is the date 1857, the opening year of the University,

the meigle, an interlacing knotwork peculiar to the
Pictish school of Celtic art; the Tudor rose design;
and "ESC" in interlocking letters on a backgroimd
of tabby weaving. Connecting each of the collar

union of Scotland and England. The entire
medallion was fabricated and cast in the cire
perdue (lost wax) process.
Surrounding the silver medallion is a gold
crafted circle which reads "Edinboro University of

added this piece to the medallion especially for the
Inauguration of President Frank G. Pogue in 1997,
