Lake Forest dear, our Alma Mater, Thy praise we sing with heart and voice, Thy Red and Black floats proudly o’er us, While in thy glory we rejoice.

COMMENCEMENT NOTES

Caps and Gowns Academic dress represents a tradition which has come down from the Middle Ages. The scholars in the early European universities were clerics and wore robes similar to those of the monastic orders. The custom has been continued by American universities since colonial times, in a uniform manner only since the early 1900s.

The standard cap is black. The tassel is also black, except that the doctor’s may be of gold bullion. A few universities provide a velvet cap for the doctor’s outfit. Undergraduates customarily wear the tassel on the right side of the cap, moving it to the left after conferral of the degree. President Schutt wears a presidential gown of red and black, the colors of the College.

The Procession The procession is led by the Faculty Marshal, followed by the Platform Committee. The Marshal carries a George III Sheffield plate beadle staff or mace, circa 1800, presented as a gift to the College in 1975 by Professor Rosemary E. Cowler. The Faculty marches according to years of service to the College. The audience stands as the Marshal passes and remains standing until the Platform Committee is seated on stage.

Flags In addition to the flag of the United States of America and the flag of the College, we are flying the national colors of the countries and territories whose citizens or subjects are graduating today. They include the flags of Afghanistan, Armenia, Austria, Belgium, Belize, Botswana, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Estonia, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Lebanon, Mexico, New Zealand, Pakistan, Portugal, Russia, Sudan, Sweden, and United Kingdom.

The Grace Elizabeth Groner Foundation was established by Ms. Groner, a 1931 graduate of Lake Forest College. She was a loyal alumna who highly valued her own college education and who cared deeply about Lake Forest College students and the community. Her vision was to provide Lake Forest College students with valuable service learning opportunities to encourage them to prepare for their careers and lives of service to their community and alma mater.
