America the Beautiful
1 4
0 beautiful for spacious skies, 0 beautiful for patriot dream,
For amber waves of grain, That sees beyond the years
For purple mountain majesties Thine alabaster cities gleam
Above the fruited plain! Undimmed by human tears!
America! America! America! America!
God shed His grace on thee God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea! From sea to shining sea!
KatharineLee Bates, Class of 1880

 The Anna and Samuel Pinanski Teaching Prize
The Pinanski Teaching Prize is awarded annually to members of
the Wellesley College faculty to honor fine teaching. The Prize may
be awarded to as many as three members of the faculty each year,
preferably one in each of the College's three academic areas: the
humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences. The Prize is
meant to recognize some particular strength, some style or method or
course, or other describable event that has been especially successful.

Nominations are submitted by the College community. The selection

is made by the President in consultation with the Pinanski Prize
Committee. The prizes are awarded in recognition of the high quality
of teaching at Wellesley. The community does not know the names of
the recipients until they are announced at Commencement.

 Academic Regalia
The Commencement Procession is one of the few remaining occasions for which the faculty
of American colleges and universities still wear formal regalia. Participants in Wellesley's
Commencement Procession this morning reflect the colors, chevrons, velvets, and wools of
diverse degrees earned here and abroad.

Perhaps the most readily identified of American regalia is the crimson robe bedecked with three
black velvet stripes on the sleeve, denoting the doctoral degree of Harvard University. Although
most American universities observe the traditional black robe, distinguishing among levels of
education by the cut of the robe and the colors on the hood trim, Harvard is one of a number of
institutions permitting colored robes (others include Yale, Brown, Boston, and Johns Hopkins
Universities).

Those in the audience today will observe, among others, a burgundy robe with blue satin
panels and a hood, which signifies Southampton University. Another colorful robe, this time
bright red with royal blue sleeves, will be seen on a doctor of Political Science from Oxford
University. The hood, also red, identifies the university, while the blue silk interior denotes the
academic field. The wearer of this robe has lightly suggested that rather than bearing any
medieval significance, the red of the robe might be the result of some London tailor's having
been in possession of a surplus yardage of red wool.

Among the Trustees, one can note a gold robe draped with black panels and three black doctoral
stripes. A hood trimmed in green, signifying the degree in Medicine, and lined with gold and
black is draped at the back; the whole garment completed by a soft black cap with a gold tassel.
Gold is the signifying robe of Johns Hopkins University.

Most gowns reflect degrees earned in the United States and are prescribed by the American
Council of Education; the present form was adopted in 1932 and revised in 1959.

According to this form, observed by most members of the Wellesley College faculty as degree
recipients from American universities, the bachelor's gown is plain with long pointed sleeves.
The master's gown is slightly fuller in cut and has long oblong sleeves open at the wrist with an
arc cut in the front. The doctor's gown is still fuller with bell shaped sleeves. It is faced down
the front with black velvet and has three bars of black velvet on the sleeve, although the velvet
and bars may be in the color representing the bearer's academic field, as in the British system.

Hoods are the most distinctive part of the American academic dress. The exterior of the hood
is black; its length is three feet for the bachelor's degree, three and one-half feet for the master's
degree, and four feet for the doctor's degree. Hoods are lined with the official colors of the
college or university conferring the degree, and the trimming is velvet, reflecting the color of the
bearer's academic field.

For all academic purposes, including trimming of the doctor's gown and edging of hoods,
the color indicating the Fields of Learning are: Art, Letters, Humanities-White; Economics-
Copper; Education-Light Blue; Fine Arts-Brown; Music-Pink; Philosophy-Dark Blue;
Physical Education-Sage Green; Science-Golden Yellow; Theology-Scarlet.
