Academic Symbolism

The University Mace

The Academic Ceremonial Mace represents the authority of the Chief Executive Officer of the University. The Mace of the University of The Bahamas measures three feet in length and is made from native mahogany for its strength and beauty. It is topped by the University crest flanked by two flamingoes, a symbol of our heritage and brilliance and the national bird of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. The Mace was designed and carved by Andret John, a noted Bahamian artist who is famous for his sculptures.

The Presidential Chain and Medallion

The Presidential Chain and Medallion are symbols of the rank of President and the authority of the Office of President. The bronze medallion is antique silver-plated and depicts the University’s crest. The chain, plain and unadorned, is joined to the medallion by the President’s banner, engraved with the name of the University’s President. Together with the Mace, the chain and medallion symbolize the continuing authority of the President of the University of The Bahamas.

Academic Dress

The wearing of caps, gowns and hoods at college and university functions dates back to the earliest days of the oldest universities. Modern academic regalia evolved from the kinds of apparel worn by monks and students in the eleventh and twelfth centuries to keep warm in the medieval castles and halls in which they studied.

The Gown

The gown has become symbolic of the democracy of scholarship, for it completely covers any dress or rank or social standing. The sleeves of the gown indicate the level of the degree held by the wearer. A long pointed sleeve indicates the bachelor degree. The master’s degree gown has an oblong sleeve cut in an arc with a slit at either the upper arm or wrist. The doctoral gown has bell shaped sleeves and may also have velvet facing and three sleeve bars or chevrons. The sleeves of a university president’s gown bear four chevrons. The trimming may be black or it may match the degree colour on the gown’s edging.

The Cap

The academic cap is a sign of the freedom of scholarship and responsibility and dignity with which scholarship endows the wearer. Old poetry records the cap of scholarship as square, symbolizing the book, although other authorities claim that it is a mortarboard, the symbol of the mason, a privileged guild. Trustees wear a six-sided cap, while the President’s is eight-sided. The colour of the tassels on the cap denotes the discipline. The tassels on the mortarboards worn by faculty may be black or a colour indicating the degree. Those who hold a doctoral degree may wear a gold tassel.

Tassel colours worn by graduates can include:

Accounting – Drab Agriculture – Maize Architecture – Blue Violet Arts – White Business Studies – Drab Economics – Copper Education – Light Blue Engineering – Orange Finance – Drab General Studies – White Geography – White History – White Journalism – Crimson Language and Literature – White

Law/Criminal Justice – Purple Library Science – Lemon Marketing – Drab Mathematics – Gold Nursing – Apricot Psychology – Gold Public Administration – Peacock Sciences – Gold Social Studies – Citron Sociology – Citron Technology – Gold

The Hood

The hood is the most prominent feature of the academic costume and is lined with the official colours of the institution conferring the degree. It is edged and bound with velvet or the colour appropriate to the degree. At University of The Bahamas, the lining of the hood is royal blue and white representing the University’s colours.

The Cord

The gold cord is worn by candidates graduating with distinction. The cumulative grade point average required for the award of distinction is 3.51 – 4.00, effective Fall 1998.

University of The Bahamas Honorary Degree Recipient

Sir Lynden Oscar Pindling

One of the longest serving heads of government in the Commonwealth, Sir Lynden O. Pindling served as Prime Minister of The Bahamas for nearly 26 years, during which he led the country to independence from Great Britain on 10th July 1973. Additionally, he served as a Member of the House of Assembly for 41 consecutive years. Sir Lynden is widely regarded as the Father of the Nation and the architect of the modern Bahamas.

The grandson of a Bahamian seaman and son of a retired policeman (Arnold F. Pindling), Sir Lynden was born 22nd March 1930. He attended Government High School from 1943 to 1946. At the age of 18, Sir Lynden left The Bahamas to attend the King’s College London, where he received his Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) in 1952. He was called to the English Bar, Middle Temple, as a barrister-at-law in January 1953 and to The Bahamas Bar in August of the same year.

Sir Lynden joined the minority Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) shortly after its formation in 1953 and in 1965 was elected to the House of Assembly for the Southern District, New Providence. He was elected senior member for the South Central District in 1962 and the following year became chairman of the PLP. In the general election of 1967, he chose to run in an Out Island constituency and his victory helped secure a majority for his party, without which, the formation of a government would have been impossible.

Under Sir Lynden’s leadership, The Bahamas became a sovereign nation on 10th July 1973. The following year, the College of The Bahamas was established through an Act of Parliament and in February 1977, Sir Lynden officially opened the institution foreshadowing that it would one day become the University of The Bahamas.

Sir Lynden led the PLP to election victories in six successive polls: 1967, 1968, 1977, 1982 and 1987. On 9th July 1997, one day before the 24th anniversary of independence, Sir Lynden resigned from Parliament, bringing to an end a political era in The Bahamas.

Sir Lynden married the former Marguerite McKenzie of Long Bay Cays, Andros, on 5th May 1956 in Nassau. The union reared two sons, Obafemi (1959) and Leslie (1961) and two daughters, Michelle (1962) and Monique (1967).

He is a world-renowned expert in information security and has co-authored four bestselling books, more than 100 academic and industrial publications and frequently writes for such industry publications as the New York Times, Scientific American and Forbes.

Dr. Thompson was named one of the “Top 5 Most Influential Thinkers in IT Security” by SC Magazine and the Financial Times calls him “one of the world’s foremost cryptology and internet security experts.” He has been interviewed by top news organizations including BBC, Bloomberg, CNN, CNBC, Fox News, CBS Evening News, HBO, BusinessWeek, Forbes, Associated Press and the Washington Post.

Dr. Crystal A. deGregory

Dr. deGregory is the founder and executive editor of HBCUstory, Inc., an advocacy initiative preserving, presenting and promoting inspiring stories of Historically Black Colleges and Universitys (HBCU) past and present, for their future. A passionate believer in the historic mission and contemporary vision for HBCUs, she convened the third annual HBCUstory Symposium on October 9 & 10, 2015 in Nashville, Tennessee in partnership with Fisk University.

A native of Freeport, The Bahamas, Dr. deGregory is a proud alumna of the historic Fisk University. She holds a Master of Education from Tennessee State University and received masters and doctoral degrees in history from Vanderbilt University. Entitled “Raising a Nonviolent Army: Four Nashville Black Colleges and the Century-Long Struggle for Civil Rights, 1830s – 1930s,” her dissertation focuses on the role of these colleges and their students in the struggle for equality, justice and civil rights in Nashville, Tennessee.

Dr. deGregory’s research and teaching interests include black Nashville and black education in the 19th and 20th centuries, with special attention to black colleges, as well as their relationship to the modern Civil Rights Movement. She continues to explore interrelationships of these institutions and their civil rights efforts to the wider African Diaspora where they helped engender the social and political development of fledging black nations such as the modern Bahamas.

Her newest work is an epilogue for The Athletic Experience at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. She has also written the book chapter, “The Relation-ships of Revolution: Martin Luther King, Jr., the Civil Rights Movement and Political Change in The Bahamas”.

Her advocacy work includes serving as one of four doctoral-holding black female hosts of Black Docs Radio and she is a member of several professional and service groups including Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated.

University of The Bahamas Alma Mater

We’ve come to build together a dream for this great land, Like palm trees tall upon this landfall called Bahamaland. The future is before us like endless sea and sand. We’ll chart a course with alma mater proudly we will stand.

A beacon for these islands embraced in shallow seas, UB will lift our spirits high for all the world to see. With hands and hearts together we’ll be a guiding light, We’ll live to praise our alma mater ‘neath the clear blue skies. We’ll live to raise our alma mater’s banner waving high!
