In 1911, a Methodist education commission made a commitment to establish a major Methodist

university in Texas. More than 600 acres of open prairie and $300,000 pledged by a group of

Dallas citizens secured the university for Dallas, and it was chartered as Southern Methodist

University. In appreciation of the city’s sup port, the first building to be constructed on the campus

was named Dallas Hall. It remains the centerpiece and symbol of SMU. When the University

opened in 1915, it consisted of two buildings, 706 students, a 35-mem ber faculty, and total assets

of $636,540. The original schools of SMU were the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of

Theology, and the School of Music.

SMU is owned by the South Central Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church. The first

charge of its founders, however, was that it become a great university, not necessarily a great

Methodist university. From its founding, SMU has been nonsectarian in its teaching and committed

to the values of academic freedom and open inquiry.

Today, Southern Methodist University offers a comprehensive curriculum through Dedman

College – the college of humanities and sciences – and six schools: Meadows School of the Arts,

Edwin L. Cox School of Business, Bobby B. Lyle School of Engineering, Perkins School of

Theology, Dedman School of Law, and Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and

Human Development.

The University offers over 100 undergraduate majors, Master’s degrees in over 100 areas,

professional degrees in two disciplines, Ph.D. degrees in 24 fields, and 30 certificate programs.

Enrollment for the Spring 2010 term was 10,486, including 5,950 under graduate students and

4,536 graduate and professional school students. SMU students come from all 50 states, the

District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and 86 countries. About 76 percent of first-year students

received some form of financial assistance for Spring 2010. About 19 percent of the student body

are minorities; 64 percent of undergraduates and 54 per cent of graduate students report religious

affiliation; 14 percent are Roman Catholic, and 11 percent are Methodist. Also represented in

the student body are other Protestant denomina tions and other religions, including Judaism,

Buddhism, and Islam.

In addition to preparing students for graduate and professional schools, or more directly for their

life’s work, the University strives to enhance their social, moral, intellectual, and religious

development so that they may lead worthy lives as individuals and citizens of the nation and

of the world.

The academic procession and the regalia worn by the faculty and officers of the Universitysymbolically represent the continuing link between the modern American university and thefounding of the great medieval universities in Europe – chief among them Bologna, Paris, andOxford. As those institutions were derived from the Catholic Church, the universities adoptedmany of the ceremonial trappings of the church in their official public functions.

The mace of the University, a symbol of the authority vested in the president by the Boardof Trustees and representing the covenant between the president and the faculty, isborne by the president of the Faculty Senate. Though the order of the procession varies from university to university, at SMU it proceeds from the Chief Marshal through the ranks of the faculty and the officers of the University to the president, who is preceded by the mace-bearer.

The caps and gowns worn in the procession also vary from place to place. There are variationsin design to indicate the degrees held by the wearers, and many universities in Americahave introduced colorful gowns and other distinguishing details (in place of the customaryclerical black from which all originated). The caps, too, vary according to the customs of the university from which the wearer received a degree. While most American universities adoptedthe “mortarboard” style of Oxford, others have chosen styles based on other European institutions.The color of the tassel worn with the cap may be black for any degree, or the color may be that of the faculty of the major field of learning (e.g., Arts, Engineering, Law, etc.). Persons holding doctoral degrees and governing officials of institutions are entitled to wear tassels of gold metallic thread.

Within the great varieties of styles and colors in gowns and caps, there has been one universallyaccepted code for the hood worn trailing down the wearer’s back. Originally, it was like the hood on the habit worn by monks and very useful for protection against the weather and even for begging for alms. Nowadays, the hood through length and color shows the degree and the specialization of the wearer, and the university that granted the degree.

Through these colorful ceremonies, SMU symbolically displays the continuity of its educationalpurposes with the origins of organized learning in the Western world.

Candidates for degrees at SMU are robed in custom regalia, inaugurated in 2009, speciallydesigned to incorporate SMU’s colors and symbols.

The Doctoral gown in dark blue includes velvet chevrons on each of the bell sleeves. The gown ismarked by velvet panels down the front and around the neck. The front panels are embroidered ingold thread with the SMU seal, and gold braid outlines the chevrons and panels. It is cut muchfuller than the other gowns and may be ornamented in color. Replacing the traditional mortarboard, an eight-sided, crimson red velvet tam with a gold silk tassel completes the regalia.

The Master’s gown, also in dark blue, has a front yolk outlined in red braid and the SMU seal isembroidered in red on the left side. Like traditional Master’s robes, gowns are arranged so that thearm emerges from a long sleeve through a slit at the wrist. A mortarboard with a colored tasselrepresenting the discipline in which the degree is earned is also worn.

Doctoral and Master’s candidates wear hoods which are 3 ½ feet, and 4 feet long, respectively.The velvet trimming in the same order is 3 and 5 inches wide. The color of the trim identifies thefaculty. A partial list of faculty colors follows: Arts, Letters, Humanities – White; Music – Pink;Business – Drab; Philosophy – Dark Blue; Engineering – Orange; Science – Golden Yellow; FineArts – Brown; Theology – Scarlet; Law – Purple. The lining of the hood – the portion most visible from the rear – indicates the institution awarding the degree. SMU’s hood lining is bluewith a red chevron.

The Bachelor gown in dark blue has the traditional characteristics of a Bachelor robe includingfull front pleats, and balanced fluting. Its distinguishing characteristic is the long pointedsleeves. A red silk stole embroidered in blue with the SMU seal is worn across the shoulders.Bachelor gowns are worn with a tassel and mortarboard.

SMU’s regalia visually honor the University’s traditions and spirit which we celebrate this morning.

The Howard Lantern is dedicated to Professor Lorn Lambier Howard, Chief Marshal Emeritus ofSMU from 1978-1987, in honor of his role in shaping the traditions and protocol of SMU’s modern-day academic ceremonies. Designed in 2008 and crafted out of steel, aluminum and waterglass, the lantern symbolizes the Rotunda of Dallas Hall, the University’s oldest building and centerpiece of our campus. Engraved around the top band is the University’s motto, “veritas liberabit vos,” which means “the truth will make you free.” Around the base are the words toVarsity, SMU’s alma mater. Each year during the May Baccalaureate Service this lantern is handed down by the Senior Class President to a representative of the Junior Class, a symbolicpassing of the light that sustains our University. The Howard Lantern serves as a reminder of theimportant traditions which make up our corporate University life and of the light of learning and intellectual curiosity which shines within the students, faculty and staff here at SMU.

He leads an international team that studies distant explodingstars to measure how fast the universe was expanding at different times in its history. His work, usingnovel observational techniques, contradicted the long-held assumption that expansion of the universeis slowing due to gravity. Perlmutter’s research provided firm evidence for the existence of dark energyas the majority substance of the universe, a substance whose precise nature remains a major mysteryin physics. For his contributions to understanding of the fundamental nature of the universe,Southern Methodist University is honored to confer upon Saul Perlmutter the degree of Doctor ofScience, honoris causa.

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,

O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

VA R S I T Y

Oh we see the Varsity,

Varsity, Varsity,

As she towers o’er the hill

Over there.

And our hearts are filled with joy,

SMU, SMU,

Alma Mater, we’ll be true

Forever!
