ACADEMIC DRESS IN THE UNITED STATES

The ceremony of commencement is the most formal occasion celebrated by the university, and the partici-pants traditionally wear academic dress, their official robes of office.

The origins of academic dress date back to the Middle Ages, when learning was largely confined to the church. The cap, gown and hood of modern usage descended from articles of dress worn by church dignitaries, likely for warmth in unheated buildings.

The cap, of serge or broadcloth, is worn by holders of all degrees, but those with doctorates are entitled to wear a gold tassel and may substitute a velvet tam.

Gowns for the bachelor’s degree have pointed sleeves; for the master’s degree, oblong sleeves; and for the doctoral degree, round, bell sleeves with bars of velvet either in black or in the degree color.

Bachelor’s recipients have the option of wearing a Stole of Appreciation decorated with the university seal as a symbol of achievement. Holders of higher degrees wear the hood, which represents a cowl that was used at one time to cover

the head. The doctor’s hood is slightly longer than the master’s and has a rounded shape. Each has a silk, satin or velvet border on the outside in colors representing the discipline in which the wearer received his or her degree. The assignment of those colors was standardized in the United States in the late 19th century and includes green, the color of medieval herbs, for medicine, maize for agriculture and golden yellow, standing for the wealth that scientific research has produced, for the sciences. The trim for Doctor of Philosophy is dark blue. Some other examples are:

Arts and Letters ......................white Business .................................. beige Education .........................light blue Engineering ..........................orange Fine Arts ................................brown Law ....................................... purple Veterinary Medicine ................ gray

The hoods are lined in the school colors. The University of California colors are blue and gold. Here are some examples of others:

Chicago ...............................maroon Columbia .......... light blue and white Cornell .............carnelian and white Harvard ............................... crimson Illinois ........... navy blue and orange Indiana .............. cream and crimson Michigan.................. maize and blue Minnesota ..............gold and maroon Pennsylvania ..cardinal and navy blue Princeton ..............orange and black Stanford ..............................cardinal Washington ............ purple and gold Wisconsin ...........................cardinal Yale ...........................................blue

HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS

For more than a century, the University of California, Davis, has prepared and inspired students and discovered solutions to some of society’s most pressing problems. Now ranked among the top 10 public research universities in the nation, according to U.S News and World Report, UC Davis has a long history of fulfilling its land-grant mission of improving lives through scholarship, research and service.

The roots of UC Davis reach back to the late 19th century, when Peter J. Shields, a Sacramento judge and former secretary of the California State Agricultural Society, tirelessly advocated for the improvement of agricultural education at the University of California. Due in large part to his leadership, in 1905 the California Legislature approved the establishment of a state agricultural school as a branch of the university.

The location of the agricultural school was not decided, however, until 1906, after George Washington Pierce, Jr., a prominent local farmer and the first University of California graduate from the Sacramento Valley, lobbied Governor George Pardee and others and rallied local boosters to contribute land and water rights to establish the school in Davisville. Pierce secured the deeds to the land,

the water rights, titles and abstracts, and delivered them to Governor Pardee on June 25, 1906.

In 1907, the first campus structures were built—the judging pavilion, the water tower and the creamery building—and the town’s name was changed to Davis. In October 1908, the University Farm opened to provide farmers short courses in the latest agricultural methods and technology. The following January, the campus welcomed the inaugural class of 18 students, nine of whom would graduate in 1911.

Research to serve the state’s burgeoning agricultural industry began on the campus even before classes opened, with an immediate focus on cereal crops and irrigation, along with investigations launched in the creamery and laboratory. The first set of courses covered animal husbandry, crops, horticulture and viticulture, irrigation and veterinary science. And in these early days began the strong interdisciplinary collaboration that would come to

characterize the research enterprise at UC Davis.

During the next decade and a half, the campus grew from a small school offering practical opportunities for young farmers into a four-year institution prepared to educate California’s future agricultural leaders. The first women students arrived on campus in 1914. The campus name changed from University Farm to Northern Branch of the College of Agriculture in 1922. Later that decade, the humanities and engineering departments and band were created, and the students chose the mustang for their mascot and adopted the Aggie nickname. By that time, the school had already attracted international attention, enrolling students from Australia, Chile, China, Mexico, India, Germany and the Philippine Islands.

The university continued to grow throughout the 1930s despite the Great Depression. In 1938, as the national economy began to revive, the campus completed a modern gymnasium with the first swimming pool in Davis. Interest in sports, particularly boxing, football and baseball, picked up. Then, with the United States’ involvement in World War II, campus life was disrupted. From January 1943 until November

9COM M E NC E M E N T

1944, the campus was converted into a training ground for the Western Army Signal Corps.

The late 1940s and 1950s saw rapid growth and change for the university. The School of Veterinary Medicine was founded in 1948 and the College of Letters and Science in 1951. In 1948, 101 Bachelor of Science degrees and 195 certificates of graduation from the two-year curricula were awarded at the first commencement ceremony held on campus. In 1949, the university had the highest growth rate of any campus in the university system and, in 1950, the Davis campus conferred its first Ph.D.s—in plant physiology, comparative pathology and genetics.

In October 1959, more than 50 years after its founding, the UC Regents officially declared the University of California farm school a general campus—the University of California, Davis.

Since then, UC Davis’ prestige and academic programs have only grown. The 1960s welcomed the School of Law, the School of Medicine and a graduate studies division. The campus’s art department was catapulted into the national spotlight in the 1960s by faculty members Wayne Thiebaud, Robert Arneson, Roy DeForest, Manuel Neri and William T. Wiley, who founded an art movement known as California Funk that challenged the pretentiousness of art at the time. The department’s impact on art in the U.S. remains strong.

UC Davis has become a national leader in science, human and veterinary medicine, biological sciences and engineering. The UC Davis Medical Center, founded in 1973, has since become recognized as one of the premiere

research and teaching hospitals in the nation. Additionally, UC Davis has been an integral partner with industry in develop-ing energy efficient transportation technologies, including hybrid and electric vehicles. And the Graduate School of Management, founded in 1981, now draws daytime and executive M.B.A. students to its three campuses in Davis, Sacramento and the Bay Area.

In 2003, UC Davis joined the Big West Athletic Conference, moving to Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, continuing a long tradition of athletic success coupled with academic success.

In 2010, the campus launched its first comprehensive fundraising campaign, The Campaign for UC Davis, and raised $1 billion in contributions from over 100,000 donors in 2013.

Today, UC Davis is physically the largest of the 10 campuses of the University of California with 5,300 acres. The campus has more than 34,000 students, an annual budget of nearly $3.8 billion, including research funding nearly $750 million, a comprehensive health system and 13 specialized research centers.

The university offers interdisci-plinary graduate study and more than 99 undergraduate majors in four colleges—Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Biological Sciences, Engineering, and Letters and Science—and advanced degrees from six professional schools— Education, Law, Management, Medicine, Nursing and Veterinary Medicine.

Graduate Studies offers advanced study and research opportunities in over 90 programs. And UC Davis is one of only 62 universities admit-ted to the prestigious Association of American Universities.

Distinguished UC Davis faculty and emeriti faculty have garnered many prestigious national and international awards. UC Davis boasts 22 National Academy of Sciences members; 13 National Academy of Engineering members; 13 Institute of Medicine members; 24 American Academy of Arts and Science members, including current UC Davis Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi; two American Academy of Arts and Letters members; three MacArthur fellows; two Pulitzer Prize winners; and five Royal Society members.

The university’s distinguished alumni include former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and former Executive Director of UNICEF Ann Veneman, celebrity chef Martin Yan of “Yan Can Cook,” California Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, NASA astronaut Tracy Caldwell and former astronaut and now professor Steve Robinson.

UC Davis is ranked first among world research universities in the agricultural sciences (Quacquarelli-Symonds World University Ranking, 2013).

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERINGThe College of Engineering at UC Davis, established in 1962, can trace its roots to the first engineering program at Davis offered in 1915, with joint degrees through UC Berkeley offered in 1926.

University of California President Clark Kerr set up a systemwide committee to look into the future of engineering in the university in 1959. Roy Bainer, who represented UC Davis on the committee, worked with the engineers teaching at Davis to create a core curriculum with options in agricultural, chemical,

civil, electrical and mechanical engineering that could be offered at UC Davis by 1962.

The UC Regents authorized the engineering faculty at Davis to operate as a department of the College of Engineering at Berkeley. The following year they authorized a separate college at UC Davis and named Roy Bainer as its first dean.

Roy Bainer served as dean of the College of Engineering from 1962 to 1969; John D. Kemper served from 1969 to 1983; M.S. Ghausi from

1983 to 1996; Alan J. Laub from 1996 to 2000; Zuhair A. Munir from 2000 to 2002; Enrique J. Lavernia from 2002 to 2010; Bruce R. White from 2009 to 2010; and Lavernia, again, since 2011.

The UC Davis College of Engineering has awarded more than 22,500 degrees to students from around the world.
