THE COLLEGE SEAL
THE INTERNATIONAL FLAGS
Among the first tasks of Hamilton’s original Board of Trustees in 1812 was to create a College seal that called for “the emblematical figure of a Celestial Being or angel, raising a veil from the vision of a pupil or novitiate.” The angel’s other hand rests on the “Book of Knowledge,” pointing to the Latin Lux et Veritas (Light and Truth). The College’s motto, Know Thyself, appears above the figures in Greek.
In addition to the American flag and the Hamilton flag, we display flags representing the home countries of the inter national students who studied on F-1 visas. Members of the Class of 2020 came to Hamilton from Argentina, Bhutan, Canada, China, Ghana, Iran, Ireland, Pakistan, Spain, South Korea, Sudan, Switzerland, Thailand, and Tunisia.
THE SENIOR CANES The senior cane is awarded to each graduate and is intended to serve as a tangible reminder of the Hamilton e xperience and as a token of the College’s affection. The head of the cane forms a Continental tricorn hat in honor of Baron von Steuben, who served as drillmaster of Washington’s Continental Army and who laid the cornerstone of the Hamilton-Oneida Academy in 1794. Funding for the canes is provided by the Lee H. Bristol, Jr. ’45 Canes Fund, established by his wife, Louise Bristol, in memory of her husband. Members of the Class of 2020 received their Hamilton canes in 2020.
THE GREEN APPLE PINS Kirkland College was founded as a women’s college in 1968, and until it merged with Hamilton a decade later, it offered alternative educational opportunities for both women and men on the Hill. Built on an apple orchard, Kirkland College took the green apple as its emblem.
THE CLASS OF 2020 MEDALLION Hamilton College has commissioned a special medallion to commemorate the Class of 2020 on the occasion of its Commencement. The medallion features the College seal on one side and the notation “Hamilton College Class of 2020” with a representation of a tricorn hat on the other. Each member of the class will receive a medallion from the president of the College at today’s ceremony. Those unable to be present this morning will receive their medallion in the mail.
ACADEMIC REGALIA Academic regalia derive much of their general style and symbolism from the gowns, cowls, and caps of the medieval universities of Paris, Bologna, Oxford, and Cambridge. In 1895, most colleges and universities in the United States agreed to a common intercollegiate code. The bachelor’s gown has long pointed sleeves, and the master’s has long squared sleeves with a slit for the arm. The doctor’s gown is faced with velvet and has three velvet bars on each sleeve. Historically, the gown was black, but many degree-granting institutions now allow gowns in their own colors. The president and the dean wear caps and gowns designed for Hamilton College. The president also wears a medallion created as a symbol of his office by Ralph Menconi ’36. The academic hood, a descendant of the medieval cowl, indicates the wearer’s degree and field of study, as well as the degree-granting institution. The width of the velvet facing indicates the degree and its color the field of study: white for arts and letters; dark blue for philosophy; scarlet for theology; golden yellow for science. The lining of the hood is the color of the d egree-granting institution: Hamilton’s is blue with a buff chevron. A poem popular in the 16th century says of the cap that “’Tis square like scholars and their books.”
THE HAMILTON DIPLOMA The Hamilton diploma, written in Latin, is in the medieval tradition that considers undergraduates as apprentices. Once their apprenticeship is complete, they are allowed to “commence.” Here is an English translation of the diploma, which was presented to the class in 2020, as if it were being presented to Alexander Hamilton himself: Hamilton College in the State of New York extends its most cordial greetings to all who witness this document. Know ye that ALEXANDER HAMILTON has studied the best of the sciences and arts with sufficient enthusiasm to be recognized as someone worthy of receiving the customary rewards of distinction. Wherefore Hamilton College declares and appoints this person BACHELOR OF ARTS and by virtue of this diploma confers upon him the power to enjoy the rights and privileges unique to that title. In witness whereof the trustees of this College have caused their seal and the signatures of the president and dean to be affixed at the foot of this document.
David Wippman President
Suzanne Keen Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty
Bestowed in the chambers of the College on the 24th day of May, 2020, the 208th year of the College. For those who have done exceptionally well, the diploma reads BACHELOR OF ARTS WITH THE HIGHEST DISTINCTION (summa cum laude), BACHELOR OF ARTS WITH GREAT DISTINCTION (magna cum laude), or BACHELOR OF ARTS WITH DISTINCTION (cum laude). Members of the Class of 2020 received their Hamilton diplomas in 2020. A commemorative medallion will be presented to each member of the class at today’s ceremony and mailed to those who are unable to be present.
WELCOME Welcome to Hamilton College’s in-person Commencement ceremony honoring the Class of 2020. Hamilton College was chartered by the Regents of the State of New York in 1812. The first formal commencement ceremony was held in 1815 for six seniors, although two students who had transferred to Hamilton became the College’s first graduates a year earlier. In 1816, 17 students received their diplomas, representing the first graduating class to attend Hamilton for four years. For about 70 years starting in 1815, every senior spoke at Commencement, a ceremony that lasted all day and was held in the church on the southern end of the Clinton Village Green. As reported in On the Hill: A Bicentennial History of Hamilton College, most of the students who attended Hamilton in its early years were from Oneida County and elsewhere in New York, with the rest coming from New England, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Members of the Hamilton College Class of 2020 came to College Hill from 37 states, one U.S. territory, the District of Columbia, and 15 countries. We congratulate the class and are delighted to welcome their families and friends to today’s ceremony.
BIENVENUE Bienvenue à la cérémonie de remise des diplômes en personne de Hamilton College honorant nos finissants et finissantes de 2020. Hamilton College a été enregistré par les autorités de l’État de New York en 1812. Bien que deux étudiants ayant transféré chez nous aient gradué en 1814, la première cérémonie de remise des diplômes s’est tenue en 1815 pour six finissants. En 1816, dix-sept étudiants ont terminé quatre années d’études au Hamilton College et ont reçu leur diplôme. Durant environ 70 ans à partir de 1815, chaque finissant s’est adressé à l’audience lors de la cérémonie de remise des diplômes qui durait toute la journée et était tenue à l’église à l’extrémité sud de Clinton Village Green. Comme rapporté dans Sur la colline : un rapport historique du bicentenaire de Hamilton College (On the Hill: A Bicentennial History of Hamilton College), la plupart des étudiants de Hamilton College les premières années provenaient du comté d’Oneida et ailleurs dans l’État de New York, avec le reste des étudiants provenant de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, de la Pennsylvanie et du New Jersey. Les étudiants de la promotion de 2020 sont venus à College Hill à partir de 37 États, d’un territoire américain, du District de Columbia, et de 15 pays. Nous félicitons les récipiendaires et sommes enchantés d’accueillir leurs familles et amis à la cérémonie de remise des diplômes.
BIENVENIDOS Bienvenidos a la ceremonia de graduación del Hamilton College en honor a la Generación de 2020. Los Regentes del Estado de Nueva York fundaron el Hamilton College en 1812. La primera ceremonia formal de graduación se llevó a cabo en 1815 para seis estudiantes de último año, aunque dos alumnos que se habían transferido a Hamilton se convirtieron en los primeros graduados de la institución un año antes. En 1816, 17 estudiantes recibieron sus diplomas, representando la primera generación graduada que asistió a Hamilton durante cuatro años. Durante unos 70 años, a partir de 1815, todos los alumnos de último año hablaron en la Graduación, una ceremonia que duraba todo el día y se llevaba a cabo en la iglesia que está en la punta sur de Clinton Village Green. Como se informó en On the Hill: Una historia bicentenaria del Hamilton College (On the Hill: A Bicentennial History of Hamilton College), la mayoría de los alumnos que asistieron a Hamilton en sus primeros años eran del condado de Oneida y de otras partes de Nueva York, y el resto provenía de Nueva Inglaterra, Pensilvania y Nueva Jersey. Los miembros de la Generación de 2020 del Hamilton College llegaron a College Hill desde 37 estados, un territorio de los Estados Unidos, el Distrito de Columbia y 15 países. Felicitamos a la generación y estamos encantados de dar la bienvenida a sus familias y amigos a la ceremonia de hoy.
