THE UNIVERSITY

The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor (UMHB) was chartered in 1845 by the Republic of Texas as the Female Division of Baylor University. In 1866, it became Baylor Female College, operating under its own charter and board. The school moved in 1886 from Independence to Belton. In 1925, the name was changed to Baylor College for Women and, in 1934, to Mary Hardin-Baylor College in honor of a benefactor. Once the oldest school for women west of the Mississippi River, Mary Hardin-Baylor College began offering degrees to men in 1968 and, in 1971, became fully coeducational. In 1978, Mary Hardin-Baylor College became the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. The university, with a current student population of almost four thousand, offers eleven bachelor’s degrees with fifty majors, ten master’s degrees with sixteen majors, and three doctorate degrees with five majors.

MACE

Historically, the use of a mace dates back to the Middle Ages. The mace was carried before or placed near a dignitary as a sign of protection. It came to symbolize strength and authority. Over the centuries, the mace was incorporated into processions as a symbolic item. Gradually, universities adopted the use of the mace to show the authority of the university invested in the president by the board of trustees. Today, the university’s mace is carried by the marshal before the president and other dignitaries of the platform party during commencement processions.

ACADEMIC ROBES AND REGALIA

The pageantry and color of an academic convocation, such as today’s commencement, come to us from medieval times when academic robes and regalia were adapted from ecclesiastical garb. Most robes are black to symbolize the democracy of scholarship since they cover any dress or rank of social standing worn beneath. Bachelor gowns are cut with long pointed sleeves, master’s gowns feature closed slit sleeves, and doctoral gowns are full-cut with double-belled sleeves and bars of velvet trim. Some universities have authorized doctoral gowns in a single color representative of the institutions. The hood, originally a simple cowl attached to the gown, bears the heaviest symbolism of the academic costume. Its lining displays the colors of the university that granted the degree, and the bordering color indicates the field of learning (or faculty) in which the degree was earned. The square cap, or mortarboard, originated in the 13th century at the University of Paris and came to England in Tudor times. Earlier caps were round and reserved for doctoral degree holders. This velvet cap is still worn by doctors. Doctoral tassels are usually gold, while other degrees are represented by black. Some of the colors you may see in today’s processional are:

Arts, Letters, Humanities-White Business-Drab Communication-Silver Gray Economics-Copper Education-Light Blue Exercise & Sport Science-Sage Green Music-Pink Nursing-Apricot Physical Therapy-Teal Social Science-Cream Social Work-Citron Theology-Scarlet

UP WITH THE PURPLE

Up with the Purple, the Gold and the WhiteHigh o’er the college towerForth from her portals we step in her might,Men and women great in power.Yes, we come from old Baylor,Her loyal sons and her daughters true,And proudly each one hails the memoryOf Baylor College, for we love you.

All hail to thee, old Baylor,Proud daughter of the SouthWith heart and voice we praise theeAs we go marching forth.

Up with the Purple, the Gold and the WhiteHigh o’er the college towerForth from her portals we step in her might,Men and women great in power,Yes, we come from old Baylor,Her loyal sons and her daughters true,And proudly each one hails the memoryOf Baylor College, for we love you.
