DECORUM Commencement is a special event to honor all students who have earned diplomas and certificates. The dignity of the university degree and of the academic community should be recognized. 1. Persons attending commencement are requested to remain at their seats during the entire commencement ceremony. Both still photographs of individual graduates and videotapes of the commencement ceremony are available for purchase. Please respect the rights of others to view the ceremony in its entirety without being distracted or having their view blocked by others. 2. Everyone is also asked to refrain from applauding except when invited to do so. Loud applause, cheers, etc. often drown out the names of the graduates as they are being read. 3. No reserved seating is allowed, except for graduates and commencement personnel. The awarding of a university degree comes at the end of many years of hard work and dedication. Each person who achieves this goal may view it in a slightly different manner. Each student must respect the rights of the other graduates and not celebrate in a way which infringes on the rights of others. We request that family members stand to honor their graduate as the diploma is awarded.

HISTORY Missouri Baptist College was founded during the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, through the desire of local pastors and laymen for an evangelical Christian institution in the St. Louis area. The idea of the founders was first expressed in the form of a seminary extension program teaching Bible classes followed later by an extension center offering liberal arts courses from Hannibal-LaGrange College. The written record shows that student influence and organizational work of St. Louis Baptist leaders, pastors, and laymen led the 1959 Missouri Baptist Convention to recommend the establishment of a college in greater St. Louis.

29970_MoBap_Forty-Eighth Comm_24pg Booklet_ManRoland_Perfect

In 1964, Missouri Baptist College was chartered as an evangelical Christian four-year liberal arts college. Classes continued to meet at Tower Grove Baptist Church until the West County campus could be constructed. Four years later, the Missouri Baptist Convention approved the consolidation of Missouri Baptist College with Hannibal-LaGrange College. It was operated as two campuses: Missouri Baptist College, St. Louis and Missouri Baptist College, Hannibal-LaGrange. Classes began in the fall of 1968 on the new campus, with 189 students enrolled. In 1973, Missouri Baptist College was re-established as a separate institution and granted its first baccalaureate degrees on the thirteenth day of May. Jessica Bay In 1980, Missouri Baptist College moved to resident college status with the opening of Pillsbury-Huff Sarah Bradshaw Hall and in 1995 opened North Hall,Coe doubling the housing capacity on campus. Kimberly Walter Ferguson Gammon Missouri Baptist College Chelsea was first accredited by the North Central Association (now the Higher Natalie Grimm Learning Commission) in 1978. The University received reaffirmation of its ten-year accreditation in the 2016-2017 academic year, with no additional monitoring or conditions. In April 2000, the college received NCA approval to offer the Master of Science in Education in Counselor Education and Classroom Teaching. In April 2002, approval was given to add Educational Administration to the Master of Science in Education offerings beginning with the fall 2002 semester. On August 29, 2002, Missouri Baptist College formally became Missouri Baptist University. In April 2004 Missouri Baptist University received approval for the Master of Arts in Christian Ministry and Master of Business Administration. In December 2005 approval was received to begin offering the Educational Specialist degree for the spring 2006 semester and in 2009 the University received approval to offer the Doctor of Education degree. Through the years Missouri Baptist University has expanded its course offerings at its regional learning centers in both Missouri and Southern Illinois. Today, locations in Missouri include Moscow Mills, Union, Farmington, and Arnold, as well as Plus-Two degree programs in cooperation with Jefferson College in Hillsboro. In Illinois, the University has centers at Lewis and Clark Community College in Godfrey, Rend Lake College in Ina, and Southeastern Illinois College in Harrisburg, which also are Plus Two programs, and at Williamson Baptist Association in Marion. A number of distance learning courses, in addition to online degree programs, are offered and the University maintains an active high school dual-credit program called the MBU Early College Partnerships. Missouri Baptist University has been served by seven presidents: Dr. L.A. Foster (1964-1970); Dr. Frank B. Kellogg (1970-1974); Dr. Robert S. Sutherland (1974-1982); Dr. Patrick O. Copley (1982-1990); Dr. J. Edwin Hewlett (1990-1991); Dr. R. Alton Lacey (1995-2018); and Dr. Keith L. Ross (2018-present). Dr. Thomas S. Field served as Interim President (1991-1995).

THE SYMBOLS AND ACADEMIC REGALIA The history of academic dress dates back to the Medieval European universities of the fourteenth century. European universities continue to follow varied patterns in cut and color of gown and type of headdress. In the United States, colleges and universities have standardized the academic dress so that its features are common and uniform throughout the country. The standard dress in the United States is as follows: The Gown: The color is usually black. The pattern varies with the degree held: pointed sleeves for the baccalaureate degree; oblong sleeve open at the wrist for the master’s degree; and a bell-shaped sleeve for the doctoral degree. The doctoral gown is faced down the front with velvet and has three bars of velvet across the sleeves. The velvet edging signifies whether the degree is J.D., M.D., Ed.D., Th.D., or Ph.D. – purple for law, green for medicine, light blue for education, scarlet for theology, and dark blue for philosophy, which may be earned in a number of subjects.

29970_MoBap_Forty-Eighth Comm_24pg Booklet_ManRoland_Perfect

The Hood: The hood is usually made of the same material as the gown, the length varying according to degree. All hoods are lined with silk in colors signifying the institution granting the degree, while the border of the hood, in velvet, indicates the academic discipline in which the degree was earned. MBU hoods are lined in blue and white. The standard colors, which represent the disciplines, are: Nursing, Pre-Nursing......................................................................................................................................................................................Apricot Behavioral Science, Human Services, Social Sciences, Social Work.........................................................................................Citron Economics.............................................................................................................................................................................................................

The Cap: The standard cap is the mortarboard, usually black, except that the doctoral cap has a gold tassel. The cap is an essential part of the academic dress and is retained on the head throughout all academic exercises, except that men remove theirs during prayer. Undergraduate students are wearing tassels in the color of their academic discipline (major). The Mace: The Faculty Marshal carries the ceremonial mace, an ancient sign of authority. It is displayed as the symbol of the University’s authority to confer degrees. The mace precedes the academic procession and its placement and removal from a position of honor indicates the opening and closing of academic ceremonies. The Missouri Baptist University mace was crafted of walnut by Mr. Sam Moon of Pacific, Missouri. It is adorned by the University seal. Presidential Chain of Office: The Missouri Baptist University Presidential Chain of Office represents the president’s authority as head of the University. The medal and the links of the chain are made of bronze. The medal depicts the University seal. The chain links embody two repeated motifs from the seal: a lamp symbolizing the illumination of the world through knowledge and wisdom, and an open book symbolizing the Bible.

THE UNIVERSITY SEAL The Missouri Baptist University Seal consists of three symbols – an arch, a lamp, and a Bible – surrounded by two concentric circles and a fluted edge. The arch identifies the University with St. Louis’ best-known landmark. The St. Louis Arch commemorates the westward expansion that earned the city its nickname, “the Gateway City.” The University moved to its present location the same year that the arch was completed. However, the arch is also a symbol of learning and identifies the University as a gateway to knowledge. The lamp represents the illumination of the work through knowledge and wisdom. It embodies the highest and most inspired purpose of education in replacing the darkness of ignorance and fear with the vision of truth and beauty. The Bible symbolizes the Christian dimension of the University. It is the adherence to its supreme standard that gives the University its distinctiveness. The wavy line depicts the rolling hills of the campus and also brings to mind the proximity of the University to the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers.

29970_MoBap_Forty-Eighth Comm_24pg Booklet_ManRoland_Perfect

The area between the circles contains the University’s motto, “Gateway to Knowledge for Service.”

MISSOURI BAPTIST UNIVERSITY TARTAN In 1964, St. Louis Baptist leaders founded Missouri Baptist University—then Missouri Baptist College—to be a light to our communities and beyond. Since then, the evangelical Christian university in St. Louis, Missouri has grown in students, programs and facilities, and remains true to its founding mission. By interweaving rigorous academics and Christian values, Missouri Baptist University continues to inspire graduates to become Christ-like influencers in their communities and careers. To commemorate the inauguration of Missouri Baptist University’s seventh president, Dr. Keith Ross, the University released a traditional tartan in the fall of 2018. The pattern, selected by a group of MBU faculty and staff, is a visual representation of MBU’s timeless values and the optimism of what is yet to come. Each color woven into the Tartan pattern represents one of the University’s Core Values:

29970_MoBap_Forty-Eighth Comm_24pg Booklet_ManRoland_Perfect

The crimson represents the blood of Christ, as we are serious and intentional about our Christian faith. The light blue resembles the sky and reminds us to look heavenward as we commit ourselves to freely and responsibly search for truth. The bold richness of the dark blue inspires us to strive for excellence as it symbolizes trust, loyalty and wisdom. The purity of the white represents integrity and honesty, as we believe in the importance and cultivation of character. The sterling gray represents social change, which is achieved through alumni whose lives are distinguished by service and leadership. These colors interlaced together form the Missouri Baptist University traditional tartan. When this pattern is displayed, let it be a symbol of our commitment to be faithfully present to each other, our tasks and our chosen career so we may always be a light for Christ, and let His light shine brightly. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. … In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14 & 16
