Graduation – November 2018 | 3
A BRIEF HISTORY OF GRADUATION The graduation ceremony is one of great antiquity. Its essential features have been the same since the 12th century when the first universities came into existence. It is necessary constituents are the Chancellor or his or her Deputy, the academic staff, the graduates, and the public. The church had a monopoly of education, partly because it was the guardian of true doctrine, and partly because clerics were almost the only people who could read and write. As a result, the only person who could license a teacher was the bishop of a diocese until, under pressure of other business; he deputed the task to his chief secretary or chancellor. The second group participating in the ceremony is the academic staff. In the 12th century they would all have been called “masters” or MAs. At that date they were paid no salaries, but hired their own lecture rooms and charged their own fees. But they also formed themselves into a guild or union, which is what universitas originally meant. In the 13th century they won a great victory when they persuaded the Pope to decree that chancellors were obliged to confer degrees on all those nominated by the masters. That is why the masters examine the candidates, why the Dean, acting as their spokesperson, reads out the names of those who are to receive degrees, and why the masters at this ceremony watch to see that the Chancellor or his Deputy does what is required of him. Thirdly the graduates. The word “degree” comes from the Latin gradus, which means “a step”. When students are admitted to a bachelor degree they move one step

up towards the mastership. When they are admitted to a master’s degree they climb another step and come up on a level with the masters, who then receive them into their guild or universitas. The academic gowns are derived from the everyday dress of the medieval clergy. In the Middle Ages they were not open in front, but closed like a clergyman’s cassock. It was in about 1500 that academics had the front opened up so as to display the fine clothes which they were wearing underneath. The hood was the normal medieval headwear, but it soon acquired a coloured lining. By the 17th century, if not earlier, these colours were strictly controlled so that anyone could identify from the colour of a graduate’s hood, the university and the degree. The public is the fourth participant. It has an important function because the whole point of the proceedings is that they should be seen and heard by valid witnesses. The public hears the words of the Dean and the Chancellor and sees the new graduates dressed in their respective gowns or robes. The foregoing is an adaptation of an address given at a graduation ceremony at the University of Birmingham by Emeritus Professor R H C Davis and reprinted in his book ‘From Alfred the Great to Stephen’ (Hambledon Press, 1991), pp. 307-309. It is reproduced with kind permission of the author’s widow.
THE GRADUATION CEREMONY THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE FANFARE
WITH DISTINCTION
The Fanfare is played at all ceremonial functions to herald the entry and departure of the Chancellor and other members of the Council. It was composed by Professor Robert Constable and first performed in 1994.
A bachelors or masters degree is conferred with distinction in cases where a candidate has achieved a Grade Point Average of 6.0 or above in the degree, out of a maximum of 7.0.
THE UNIVERSITY MEDAL
COMBINED DEGREE
The award of a University Medal is an honour made only when there is a candidate of sufficient merit. To be considered for this award, a graduate must have a consistent record of exceptional academic achievement at all levels of their degree program, and qualify with the highest level of that degree.
A combined degree is one where a student studies for two separate degrees at the same time. It is possible for the student to complete the degree requirements for one degree ahead of the other. The student receives a testamur for each degree. Places for combined degrees are very competitive and offered to the highest performing students who apply.
HONOURS The award of Honours is given to students who complete an additional year of study after the completion of a bachelor’s degree. Some bachelor’s degrees, such as Engineering or Education, have Honours embedded in the four year degree program. Honours generally consists of part coursework and part research requiring submission of a thesis. Honours can be awarded as Class I, Class II Division 1, Class II Division 2, or Class III.

Mr CHOO Heng Thong graduated from the University of Newcastle in 1977 and founded Spindex Industries Ltd in 1981. He started the firm as a one-man-one-machine outfit and, over the course of 25 years, Mr Choo built the company to become one of the leading manufacturers of high-precision bar-machining in the region. The company was listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange in 1998. Today, the Spindex Industries Ltd manufacturing plants operate in Singapore, Malaysia, China and Vietnam. With thousands of employees, the company serves diverse global markets including imaging and printing, consumer electronics, data storage, automotive systems and telecommunications. Throughout his career, Mr Choo has been inspired by many – but one person who has had an enduring impact is his former engineering professor, Alan Roberts. The friendship between Mr Choo and Emeritus Professor Roberts has continued for more than 40 years. Inspired by his former professor’s leadership, scholarship and humanity, Mr Choo has generously established a scholarship in his name for academically gifted engineering students at the University of Newcastle who face financial hardship. Mr Choo’s reflections on his life, which followed a path from humble beginnings in Johor Bahru to become a leading entrepreneur, are documented in his memoir The Accidental Entrepreneur published in 2011. Mr Choo graduated from the University of Newcastle in 1977 with a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours).
