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 sunken crest of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
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 medal
lion 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 contain
ing a triple-towered castle. The collar of the medal
lion is comprised of a series of two-inch shields.
ACADEMIC VESTMENTS
The gown, the cap, and the hood, representing
the major components of the academic dress, are a
ceremonial inheritance from the medieval univer
sities 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 dis
tinguished 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 col
ored 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.

procession
at
today's
Commencement ceremony is Dr. Anne Jedlicka,
professor of mathematics and computer science.
students have included words of thanks and
appreciation, such as: "Thank you for teaching
me to enjoy mathematics;" "I would not have
made it through the class without your help . . .
because of you I succeeded;" "Your class
encouraged me to come to school each day and
not drop out;" and "You really make the students
feel like they're capable to do anything."
Dr. Jedlicka joined the faculty of Edinboro
University (then Edinboro State College) in 1966
and was appointed to full professorship in 1988.

doctoral (1972) degrees from the University of
Pittsburgh.
One of the more important research papers
Dr. Jedlicka has published is entitled, "Why
Students Fail in College." In it, she concludes that
"students fail in college because they do not know
algebra, which is crucial to understanding the
sciences and mathematics. It is the language of
problem solving, and it expands students'
thinking and understanding skills. If a student
does not know algebra, then it limits what a
student can do."
Dr. Jedlicka's professional memberships
include the National Council of Teachers of
Mathematics, the Mathematical Association of
America, the Association for Women in
Mathematics, the American Cryptogram
Association, the American Association of
University Women, the State System of Higher
Education Mathematics Association,
the
Pennsylvania Association of Computer and
Information Science Educators, and the
Pennsylvania Association of Mathematics
Teachers of Two-Year Colleges.
Active in community service. Dr. Jedlicka for
20 years co-chaired the Edinboro High School

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 sunken crest of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.

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 medal
lion 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

lion is comprised of a series of two-inch shields.

the major components of the academic dress, are a
ceremonial inheritance from the medieval univer

hood lining. The velvet trim of the hood indicates
the field in which the degree was granted.

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

with an open front faced with wide velvet panels.
The sleeves are loose and bell-shaped with three

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 sunken crest of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
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 medal
lion 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 contain
ing a triple-towered castle. The collar of the medal
lion is comprised of a series of two-inch shields.
ACADEMIC VESTMENTS
The gown, the cap, and the hood, representing
the major components of the academic dress, are a
ceremonial inheritance from the medieval univer
sities 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 dis
tinguished 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 col
ored 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.

GRAND MARSHAL
Carrying the ceremonial mace and leading
the
academic
procession
at
today's
Commencement ceremony is Dr. Anne Jedlicka,
professor of mathematics and computer science.
students have included words of thanks and
appreciation, such as: "Thank you for teaching
me to enjoy mathematics;" "I would not have
made it through the class without your help . . .
because of you I succeeded;" "Your class
encouraged me to come to school each day and
not drop out;" and "You really make the students
feel like they're capable to do anything."
Dr. Jedlicka joined the faculty of Edinboro
University (then Edinboro State College) in 1966
and was appointed to full professorship in 1988.
She holds bachelor's (1961), master's (1963) and
doctoral (1972) degrees from the University of
Pittsburgh.
One of the more important research papers
Dr. Jedlicka has published is entitled, "Why
Students Fail in College." In it, she concludes that
"students fail in college because they do not know
algebra, which is crucial to understanding the
sciences and mathematics. It is the language of
problem solving, and it expands students'
thinking and understanding skills. If a student
does not know algebra, then it limits what a
student can do."
Dr. Jedlicka's professional memberships
include the National Council of Teachers of
Mathematics, the Mathematical Association of
America, the Association for Women in
Mathematics, the American Cryptogram
Association, the American Association of
University Women, the State System of Higher
Education Mathematics Association,
the
Pennsylvania Association of Computer and
Information Science Educators, and the
Pennsylvania Association of Mathematics
Teachers of Two-Year Colleges.
Active in community service. Dr. Jedlicka for
20 years co-chaired the Edinboro High School
Mathematics Conference and Contest in which
high school upperclass students within a 100-mile
radius were invited to the Edinboro University
campus for mathematical presentations, games,
puzzles and exams.
Her committee work at the University has
included membership on the Mathematics
Curriculum, Computer Science Curriculum,
Calculus,
Department
Chair
Selection,
Department Evaluation, Hiring, Promotions,
Tenure, Emeriti, Sabbatical Leave, University
wide Honors, Independent Study, and the Science,
Management and Technologies High School
Conference committees. She was a member of the
committee that developed the baccalaureate
degree program in Computer Science, which is a
two-tiered degree consisting of an application
track and a theoretical track. She wrote the
actuarial concentration program for the
mathematics degree, which is now being adopted
by her department. Courses she has developed
include Automata, Actuarial Mathematics, and

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,

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 medal
lion 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

ing a triple-towered castle. The collar of the medal
lion is comprised of a series of two-inch shields.

hood is longer than the master's hood and has dis
tinguished 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 col
ored 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
