ACADEMIC HERALDRY

‘The caps, gowns, and hoods worn at college and univer-
sity functions date back to the Middle Ages. Monks and
students of those days wore them to keep warm in the
damp and drafty 12th-century castles and halls of learn-
ing. The gowns for the bachelor’s degree, earned after
undergraduate study, have long, pointed sleeves and are
designed to be worn closed.

‘The holder of the master’s degree wears a gown with an
oblong sleeve open at the wrist. The sleeve base hangs
down, and the rear part of its oblong shape is worn square
cut. The gown may be worn open or closed. An alternate
and older master’s gown is also permissible. The gown is
always worn open, has a long sleeve, which is square and
closed at the end, and has a slit near the forearm.

Gowns for the doctoral degree may also be worn open or
closed, but they carry broad velvet panels down the front
and three velvet bars on the full, round, open sleeves. The
velvet trimming may be either in black or the color distine-
tive to the field of learning to which the degree pertains.

Academic gowns for each level are black, although a few
institutions permit doctoral recipients to wear gowns of
the characteristic institutional color.

Academic protocol allows trustees, presidents, and mar-
shals of higher education institutions to wear gowns which

are especially designed and colored. The president of the

4 Commencement 2010

University at Albany wears a black and royal purple gown
bearing four horizontal royal purple and gold bars on the
sleeves. The marshals’ gowns at UAlbany are gold and blue.
Caps may be of serge, broadcloth, or, for the doctoral out-
fic only, of velvet. The tassel is black or the color appropriate
to the subject, except the doctoral cap may have a tassel of
gold or bullion.

Ieis the hood that gives color and real meaning to the aca-
demic costume. The hoods of the master's degree recipients
are a black shell made of material to march the gown and
use the institutional colors. The doctoral hood, which uses
the same institutional colors, is larger and of a different
style, having a flat panel at the back. The hood is bordered
with velvet of the proper width to indicate the degree and
of the color signifying the field of learning to which the
degree pertains.

If more than one degree is held, the gown and hood of
the highest degree are worn. Holders of several doctoral
degrees may make a choice of hood for any particular
occasion. The colors indicative of the various fields of learn-

ing are as follows:

Arts, Letters, Humanities: White
Accountancy, Business, Commerce: Dusk
Economies: Copper

Education: Powder Blue

Fine Arts: Brown

Journalism: Crimson
Library Science: Lemon Yellow

Music: Pink

Philosophy: Royal Blue

Public Administration,

including Foreign Service: Teal Blue
Public Health: Salmon Pink

Science: Golden Yellow

Social Science and Social Work: Citron

Graduating students at UAlbany wear tassels of the
color representing their field of study. Honors graduates

of the baccalaureate program also wear honor medallions.

Candidates for degrees are listed as of April 5, 2010.
No changes in status could be made after this date. Honors
for degree candidates were computed using the cumulative
grade point average as of December 24, 2009, and a projec-
tion thae the student will have earned 56 or more credits at
UAlbany, of which a minimum of 40 credits are A-E graded.
Official honor status will be recalculated when spring
2010 grades are recorded and will appear on the diploma.
*** Summa Cum Laude: signifies a cumulative
grade-point average of 3.75 or above
** Magna Cum Laude: signifies a cumulative
grade-point average of 3.50-3.74

* Cum Laude: signifies a cumulative
grade-point average of 3.25-3.49

GRADUATE CEREMONY SPEAKER

Honorable Paul D. Tonko, Congressman for the 21st District of New York

Congressman Paul D. Tonko is serving his first term in
Congress representing the 21st District of New York,
which includes the state's capital city, Albany. Paul comes
to Washington, D.C. with more than two decades of admin-
iserative, legislative and policy experience, having served in
the New York State Assembly from 1983 to 2007, and as
President and CEO of the New York State Energy
Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA)
from 2007-2008.

Congressman Tonko is a nationally recognized expert on
energy issues. An engineer by training, he served as chairman
of the New York State Assembly Standing Committee on
Energy prior to leaving the Assembly to join NYSERDA.
As chairman, Paul fought ro protect consumers, fought
against utility deregulation and worked ro upgrade our
aging energy infrastructure. While at NYSERDA, Paul
worked to advance an aggressive green agenda for businesses
and residents throughout New York State.

Congressman Tonko has been a strong voice for respon-
sible energy policy, job growth in upstate New York,
unionized labor and affordable and accessible healthcare

for all. In Congress, he is a member of the House Com-

mittee on Education and Labor, and serves on the sub-
committees for Higher Education and Healthy Families
and Communities. Building on his work in the New York
State Assembly, where he fought for one of the nation’s
strongest mental health parity laws (known as”Timothy's
Law”), he has always promoted fair and equitable health-
care policies that strengthen our communities and protect
our most vulnerable citizens.

Congressman Tonko is also a member of the Committee
on Science and Technology, which merges his energy
expertise with his environmental agenda. Serving on sub-
committees for Energy and Environment, Research and
Science Education, Technology and Innovation, he hopes
to spur an environment where innovation and
cutting-edge research and design spur economic develop-
ment in the 21st Congressional District.

An advocate for a “green economy” and “green-collar
jobs” Congressman Tonko has promoted wind development
in Upstate New York and successfully lobbied G.E. to
locate its growing G.E. Wind operations in Schenectady,
N.Y. In the New York Stare Assembly, he was a lead

sponsor of the Power for Jobs program, which provides

low cost power to employers throughout New York State
and has retained or created 300,000 jobs statewide. In
2006, he successfully negotiated for Beech-Nut to keep its
plane in Montgomery County, and expand their operation
by relocating its corporate headquarters. The new Beech-
Nut headquarters will be a green building and retain 356
jobs while creating 135 new positions.

Congressman Tonko also has strong ties to local govern-
ment, which he sees as a crucial partner in delivering
programs and services to constituents. At age 26, Paul was
the youngest person in the history of Montgomery County
to be elected to the county's Board of Supervisors. He
served as chairman of that body until 1981. Prior to his
election to the Assembly in 1983, he was an engineer in
the New York State Department of Transportation and
also served on the staff of the Department of Public
Service. Tonko has been a longtime member of the Public
Employees Federation (PEF) and proudly serves as the
first PEF member elected to Congress.

He graduated from Clarkson University with a degree
in mechanical and industrial engineering. He is a lifelong
resident of the city of Amsterdam, New York.
UNDERGRADUATE CEREMONY SPEAKER

Joseph E. Persico '52, Historian and Biographer

Joseph E. Persico, author and former speechwriter
for New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, was born to
‘Thomas and Blanche Persico of Gloversville, New York,
on July 19, 1930. In 1952, after receiving a B.A. in both
English and Political Science from the New York State
College for Teachers (now known as the University at
Albany), he entered the U.S. Navy and remained in the
military for three years. Persico served as a Lieutenant
Junior Grade aboard a minesweeper and also with NATO
(North Atlantic Treaty Organization) Headquarters in
Naples, Italy. Returning to the U.S. in 1956, Persico
matriculated at Columbia University in New York for his
graduate work.

In 1956, Persico began his political writing career,
serving Governor W. Averell Harriman as a writer and
researcher. After three years with Harriman, Persico
then became a Foreign Service Officer for the United
States Information Agency (USIA) working in Argentina,
Brazil, and Washington. Between 1963 and 1966, Persico
served as Executive Assistant to New York State Health
Commissioner, Hollis Ingraham. In 1966, Persico became
the chief speechwriter for New York Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller. Continuing in this position for seven years, he

remained Rockefeller’s primary speechwriter as the gov-

ernor assumed the office of Vice President of the United
States ftom 1974 to 1977.

In 1977, Persico transitioned into a full-time author,
focusing on historical subjects. In that year, his Civil
War piece, My Enemy My Brother: Men and Days of
Gettysburg, was released. ‘Two years later, he followed up
this work with a novel, The Spiderweb, and a nonfiction
study, Piercing the Reich: The Penetration of Nazi Germany
by American Secret Agents During World War IT. In 1982,
Persico focused on Nelson Rockefeller’ life and published
the biography, The Imperial Rockefeller. During the 1990s,
Persico created other historical works on both American
espionage and the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials fol-
lowing World War II. These works were Casey: From the
OSS to the CIA and Nuremberg: Infamy on Trial. Persico
also targeted renowned broadcast journalist Edward R.
Murrow for a biographical sketch in 1990. In addition ro
his books, Persico has also published numerous articles on
American history:

Persico collaborated with former Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff and laver Secretary of State Colin
L. Powell on his biography. Between 1994 and 1996, the
author developed a personal relationship with his subject,
occasionally addressing Powell as “Sit Colin,” and “Mon

General,’ from “The Hired Pen.’ Persico continues to
publish books on historical subjects. In November 2001,
Random House Inc. released Roosevelt's Seeret War: FDR
and World War IT Espionage and in 2004, Eleventh Month,
Eleventh Day, Eleventh Hour: Armistice Day, 1918, World
War I and Its Violent Climax was published. His words
live and breathe in granite as well as on paper. Throughout
his career, Joe has penned thousands of words. There are
seven however that touch the lives of many, on a daily
basis, who visit the World War IT Memorial in our nation’s
capital. Underneath the 4,000 gold stars, each one repre-
senting 100 US soldiers who died in the country’s service
during World War IT is inscribed:

“Here We Mark The Price Of Freedom’

He is a frequent reviewer for The New York Times Book
Review and the Washington Post Book World and is a commen-
rator on several PBS and History Channel documentaries.

Persico was born and grew up in Gloversville, N-Y., is
married to the former Sylvia LaVista, has two daughters,
five grandchildren and divides his time between upstate
New York and Mexico. #

CONGRATULATIONS

When you start your career, it’s nice to know a network of 147,000 alumni is ready to
help you get your big break.

Dear Graduate,

“These are challenging times in our world, and the time after graduation can be a particularly stressful one. I want you to know that help
is available and the UAlbany Alumni Association stands ready to assist you.

At the same time, I want to issue a challenge to you to stay connected to UAlbany, because I have found in life you often get out of an
experience what you put into it. So, I ask you to stay connected because it will help you in your career and because it will help build a
stronger UAlbany, too. Here are a few ways your Alumni Association can help you on your way.

Tencourage you to log onto wwwalbany.edu/alumuni to access the alumni career center: I also invite you to join our Facebook group and
get LinkedIn to expand your professional network, taking advantage of the adage-it’s not just what you know, but who you know.

Your fellow young alumni have formed a group called GOLD (Graduates Of the Last Decade), which meets professionally and socially
throughout the year. Please be on the lookout for future Gold Reunion events.

On behalf the University at Albany Alumni Association, it is a pleasure and a privilege to welcome you into the University at Albany
alumni community. Congratulations and best wishes in all that you do.

With warm regards and yours in UAlbany,

William J. McCann Jr., Esq.'86,'87
President, University at Albany Alumni Association

ALMA MATER

College of the Empire State
Mother of an army great,

Thou the molder of our fate,

Thee we sing today.

Thine the hand we clasp so strong,
Holding tho’ the years be long,
Thou the burden of our song,
Thee we sing today.

Ways of pleasantness are thine,
Leading where in wisdom's shrine,
Joy and cheer, and hope divine,
Ever dwell for aye.

Thine the voice whose call we hear,
Thine the hand which holds us near,
Thine the heart, so true, so dear,
Cherished, loved alway.

Wisdom’s duty heeds thy call,

Ever in Minerva’s thrall,

Pass the torch from one to all,
Guide each destiny.

‘Neath the Purple and the Gold,

Let thy history unfold,

Sons and daughters, young and old,
Hail to Albany.
