resources into one of the largest universities in New York State, with a multimillion dollar physical plant, an endowment of more than $100 million, and a reputation for strong academics and talented, ambitious graduates. At the heart of Pace’s academic values is a historic commitment to excellence in teaching, as manifested by small classes, an emphasis on skill development and critical thinking, special tutoring and support services, and academic advising. Academic experiences and experiential learning at Pace emphasize teaching from both a practical and theoretical perspective, drawing on the expertise of full-time and adjunct faculty members who balance academic preparation with professional experience to bring a unique dynamic to the classroom.


Marvin Krislov President u

M

arvin Krislov became the eighth President of Pace University on August 1, 2017. Prior to President Krislov’s appointment at Pace, he served for 10 years as the president of Oberlin College

where he led collaborative, consensus-driven efforts to make the College and Conservatory of Music more rigorous, diverse, inclusive, and accessible to students from every socioeconomic background. His creation of the Oberlin Access Initiative, which removed the loan burden for hundreds of Pell Grant-eligible students, reflects his abiding commitment to surmounting the challenges facing low-income, first-generation students. Through his writings, his speeches and public appearances, and his membership on the National Council on the Humanities, Krislov raised Oberlin’s international and national profile while championing the value of liberal arts education. His op-ed pieces on topics including his commitment to teaching, student voting rights, colleges’ role in driving sustainable economic development, and student mental health have been published in The Washington Post, USA Today, The Columbus Dispatch, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and Crain’s Cleveland Business. He also co-edited The Next Twenty-five Years—Affirmative Action in Higher Education in the United States and South Africa, published by the University of Michigan Press in December 2009. Krislov went to Oberlin from the University of Michigan, where he had been vice president and general counsel since 1998. During his tenure there, he led the University of Michigan’s legal defense of its admission policies, resulting in the 2003 Supreme Court decision recognizing the importance of student body diversity. Krislov earned a bachelor’s degree, summa cum laude, at Yale University in 1982, and was named a Rhodes Scholar. He earned master’s degrees at Oxford University and Yale, and a juris doctor degree at Yale Law School in 1988. Prior to entering academic life, Krislov served as acting solicitor from 1997 to 1998 in the US Department of Labor, and as deputy solicitor of national operations from 1996 to 1998. He had previously served as associate counsel in the Office of Counsel to the President during the Clinton administration.

A cademic R egalia

he history of academic dress dates back to the early days of the oldest universities. A statute of 1321 required all “Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors” of the University of Coimbra to wear gowns. In England, during the second half of the 14th century, the statues of certain colleges forbade “excess in apparel” and prescribed the wearing of a long gown. It is still a question whether academic dress finds its sources chiefly in ecclesiastical or in civilian dress. Gowns may have been worn for warmth in unheated buildings frequented by medieval scholars while hoods seem to have served to cover the tonsured head until replaced by the skull cap. In time, the skull cap was replaced by the mortarboard caps that are used widely today. In 1895, the Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume was formed to establish a suitable code of academic dress for the colleges and universities of the United States. The academic costume code recognizes three types of gowns, usually black. The gown for the bachelor’s degree has pointed sleeves. The gown for the master’s degree has long, closed sleeves with the arc of a circle near the bottom. A doctor’s gown is faced with velvet, and has full, round, open sleeves bearing three bars of velvet on each sleeve. The velvet facing bars may either be black or the color distinctive to the subject to which the degree pertains. The hood is made of a material identical to the gown and is lined in the official academic color of the institution conferring the degree. When the institution has more than one color, the chevron is used to introduce the second color. For Pace University, the official colors found in the hood are blue and gold. Colored velvet or velveteen binds the hood and indicates the subject to which the degree pertains.

For all academic purposes, the colors associated with the various subjects at Pace University are as follows: Arts, Letters, Humanities White Commerce, Accountancy, Business Drab Education Light Blue Fine Arts Brown Health Professions, Nursing Apricot Health Professions, Physician Assistant Gold Journalism, Publishing Crimson Law Purple Psychology Royal Blue Public Administration Peacock Blue Science Golden Yellow (Adapted from American Colleges and Universities, 11th edition, 1973)

M arshals

T

arshals serve as escorts, leaders of groups, attendants to processions, and aides to honored guests. Their purpose is to add dignity, solemnity, and pageantry to academic ceremonies. Marshals are dressed in doctoral caps and gowns and wear a University scapular. The Grand Marshal is appointed by the President and is assisted by two marshals from each school or college.

I

he verge, an elongated mace or staff carried by the grand marshal, is made of Honduran rosewood. It is topped by a replica of a bronze-coated copper globe made in 1510, which is the earliest existing representation depicting European contact with the Western Hemisphere. Beneath the globe, each Pace campus is represented by ribbons of the campus color: green for New York City, blue for Pleasantville, and red for White Plains. The upper section of the shaft is inlaid with rare woods representing the four reaches of the world: ebony, teak, olive, and oak.

T raditional S ymbols

n addition to the regalia and finery customarily worn by University faculty and officers, formal academic ceremonies often include colorful signs and symbols representing the history and traditions of university life as well as specific aspects of the university being celebrated.

T

t Pace ceremonies, in addition to the flags of the United States, the state of New York, and the University, the president is represented by a swallowtail flag of a blue field with a gold border bearing the University seal in pale blue ringed by the inscription “Office of the President.” Each school/college within the University (College of Health Professions, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences, Elisabeth Haub School of Law, Lubin School of Business, School of Education, and the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems) is signified by a blue and gold banner with the school/college name and University logo.

T he P residential M edallion

he Presidential Medallion is made of bronze, layered by silver plate, and finished in rhodium. The face of the medallion is the Pace University seal and the reverse bears the engraved legend: “Struck on the occasion of the inauguration of the fifth president, November 3, 1990.” The horizontal scroll chain links are of sterling silver and are engraved with the names of former Pace presidents and their dates of tenure. The Presidential flag, the verge, and school/college batons were designed by Professor of Fine Arts John Mulgrew.

Inauguration Committee

M aces

t Pace University, the dean for students carries two maces. One is a replica of a Gothic battle mace with a head formed by five flanges, topped by a fluted conical finial. The mace was introduced in 1968 at the first commencement held on the Pleasantville Campus. The second mace was first used in 1927 at commencement exercises of Good Counsel College, which became the College of White Plains and which was consolidated in 1975 with Pace University. The brass and wood mace is topped by a sphere and a formée cross with a garnet at its center. The rondel, consisting of two brass sections separated by a ribbed wooden grip, has a sphere at its base, which bears the inscription “Pace University.” University marshals carry batons that represent the schools/colleges of the University. The University seal is mounted on each end of the baton, which is made of American walnut. The name of each person who has served as dean of the school/college is engraved on a brass plate affixed to the school/college baton.

Alma Mater, hearts and voices sing to thee our everlasting praise; Each and every heart rejoices at the thought of happy days. Pace, Oh Pace, we’ll ne’er forget you, nor the friends we hold so dear; Memories will linger ever and will brighten coming years. Alma Mater, stand forever, love is strong as we go marching by; So to thee, we raise our voices with your standard held on high. Pace, Oh Pace, we’ll ever follow where thy beacons show the way; True to thee we’ll be forever as we labor day by day.
