The Ceremonial Mace, a symbol of presidential authority, is carried at the head of the academic
procession by the College Marshal, Dr. Leo J. Roland. A gift of the Alumni Association, the Mace
was designed and executed by Dr. Seymour Blinderman, formerly of the Art faculty, and Mr.
Henry Katzwinkel. It was first used at the inauguration of President Chester T. McNemey.
The Mace, twenty-seven inches high, is topped by a sterling silver sphere studded by coneshaped 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.

today’s spring commencement exercises. His
address is entitled, “Some Retrospective
Introspection.”
Governor Richard Thornburgh appointed Dr.
Sommers as the state’s Higher Education
Commissioner on September 6, 1979. “The
individual charged with leadership responsi
bilities for higher education in Pennsylvania
must possess both excellent qualifications and
character,” said Thornburgh when announcing
Sommers’ selection. “Education Secretary Bob
Scanlon and I are confident that we have found
these qualities in Dr. Sommers,” he added.
Prior to his appointment as Commissioner, Dr. Sommers had served as President of Clarion
State College since March of 1977. Previously, he had been State University Dean of Faculty
Affairs in the Chancellor’s Office for the California State Universities and Colleges.
From 1961 to 1971, he was a professor of business administration at California State University,
Northridge, where he developed a course in the analysis of business operations for graduating
seniors. He also taught business and labor relations law.
At California State University and Colleges, his responsibilities included developing policies for
appointments, tenure, and promotion of all academic employees in the system; coordinating and
planning personnel policies; faculty development; programming administration budget request;
preparing salary and benefit proposals for faculty and other academic employees; management
review; coordinating grievance and disciplinary procedures, as well as analyzing collective
bargaining legislation.
During the 1968-69 school year. Dr. Sommers was Associate Dean of the California State School
of Business and Associate Dean of Instructional Resources in the Office of the Chancellor at
California State University and Colleges. While at California State, he also served as president of
the general faculty and as a member of the committee which developed a master’s program for
faculty research grants, personal planning and review. In 1966, he received the first distinguished
teaching honor to be awarded by the California State College and University’s Board of Trustees.
A native of Chicago, Illinois, he was graduated with honors from Harvard University in 1953
with a bachelor of science degree in economics and received his law degree from Harvard Law
School in 1956. He practiced law and served as deputy county council in Los Angeles County from
1959 to 1961.
In 1957, Dr. Sommers was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine
Corps Reserve. He was activated in 1958 as infantry platoon commander and later served as a
prosecuting attorney before general courts-martial. He was also Legal Assistance Officer for the
Marine Corps Base at Camp Pendleton, California. After his release to the inactive reserve, he left
the Marine Corps in 1962 with the rank of Captain.
Dr. Sommers and his wife, Janet, who now reside in Wormleysburg, Pa., have three daughters,
Cary - 22, Melanie - 20, and Valery - 18.

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.

Because of the demand to meet a deadline to print this program and the short period of time
between the end of classes, review of all academic programs, delays caused by such factors as
illness of some students and evaluation by the Office of Academic Affairs, the College does not
claim the list of degree candidates is absolutely accurate. Students are granted degrees only if they
meet all academic and financial requirements.

The Ceremonial Mace, a symbol of presidential authority, is carried at the head of the academic

was designed and executed by Dr. Seymour Blinderman, formerly of the Art faculty, and Mr.
Henry Katzwinkel. It was first used at the inauguration of President Chester T. McNemey.
The Mace, twenty-seven inches high, is topped by a sterling silver sphere studded by coneshaped 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.

of Business and Associate Dean of Instructional Resources in the Office of the Chancellor at
California State University and Colleges. While at California State, he also served as president of
the general faculty and as a member of the committee which developed a master’s program for
faculty research grants, personal planning and review. In 1966, he received the first distinguished
teaching honor to be awarded by the California State College and University’s Board of Trustees.
A native of Chicago, Illinois, he was graduated with honors from Harvard University in 1953
with a bachelor of science degree in economics and received his law degree from Harvard Law
School in 1956. He practiced law and served as deputy county council in Los Angeles County from
1959 to 1961.

prosecuting attorney before general courts-martial. He was also Legal Assistance Officer for the
Marine Corps Base at Camp Pendleton, California. After his release to the inactive reserve, he left
the Marine Corps in 1962 with the rank of Captain.
Dr. Sommers and his wife, Janet, who now reside in Wormleysburg, Pa., have three daughters,
Cary - 22, Melanie - 20, and Valery - 18.

An endowment fund was provided to Edinboro State College in memory of Mrs. Helen Sabin

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.

Because of the demand to meet a deadline to print this program and the short period of time
between the end of classes, review of all academic programs, delays caused by such factors as
illness of some students and evaluation by the Office of Academic Affairs, the College does not
claim the list of degree candidates is absolutely accurate. Students are granted degrees only if they
meet all academic and financial requirements.
