THE PROSSIONAL HYMN
Praise the Source of Faith and Learning arr. by Nancy Farndale
To the tune of “Hymn of Joy.”Congregation shall remain seated. Sung by Noah McLaughlin
Nancy Farndale, PianoPraise the source of faith and learning who has sparked and stoked the mind with a passion for discerning how the world has been designed. Let the sense of wonder flowing from the wonders we survey keep our faith forever growing and renew our need to pray.
God of wisdom, we acknowledge that our science and our art and the breadth of human knowledge only partial truth impart. Far beyond our calculation lies a depth we cannot sound where your purpose for creation and the pulse of life are found.
May our faith redeem the blunder of believing that our thought has displaced the grounds for wonder which the ancient prophets taught. May our learning curb the error which unthinking faith can breed lest we justify some terror with an antiquated creed.
Musical interlude
As two currents in a river fight each other’s undertow till converging they deliver one coherent steady flow, Blend, O God, our faith and learning till they carve a single course, while they join as one returning praise and thanks to you their source.
THE BACCALAUREATE LITANY
Please stand as you are able.
P: Lord God, you are a hidden God at work in all things.
C: Lord God, help us to trust when we cannot see.
P: Hidden God, you have been at work in all of our lives to bring us to this place that is Waldorf University.
C: Lord God, help us to trust when we cannot see.
P: Hidden God, you have been at work through all that happens here through professors, classmates, classes, practices, rehearsals, performances, completion, friendships, and life together with each other in community, to shape and mold us.
C: Lord God, help us to trust when we cannot see.
P: Hidden God, during the past year and a half we have had to adapt, think critically and creatively to fulfill the demands this world places on us in hew ways.
C: Lord God, help us to trust when we cannot see.
P: Hidden God, we have masked and socially distanced to love and protect our neighbors. May we always, in all things, live our lives to love and protect our neighbors.
C: Lord God, help us to trust when we cannot see.
P: Hidden God, we pray that in our time here you have molded us to be the people the world needs us to be when we leave this place.
C: Lord God, help us to trust when we cannot see.
P: May we all have a faith and courage to hear your call and to be who the world needs us to be.
C: Amen

O God, Our Help in Ages Past
THE RECESSIONAL HYMN
Sung by Noah McLaughlin Nancy Farndale, PianoO God our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home.
Under the shadow of your throne your saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is your arm alone, and our defense is sure.
Before the hills in order stood or earth received its frame, from everlasting you are God, to endless years the same.
A thousand ages in your sight are like an evening gone, short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun.
Time, like an ever rolling stream, bears all our years away; they fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the op’ning day.
O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, Still be our guard while troubles last and our eternal home.

DOCTORATE OF HUMANE LETTERS
Ray Beebe is being recognized for his outstanding achievement in his profession, service to his community, dedication to higher education, and support of Waldorf University.
Mr. Beebe received his Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Iowa State University in 1964 and his Juris Doctor degree with distinction from the University of Iowa College of Law in 1967. He was a founding member and first Chairman of the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) Lawyer’s Committee. In 1974 Mr. Beebe joined Winnebago Industries where he served as general counsel for 38 years. Mr. Beebe has received a number of prestigious awards for his professional work, including the Excellence in Legislative Advocacy Award by The Iowa State Bar Association and the RVIA National Legislative Award.
Mr. Beebe is an extraordinary volunteer within the community and has served a multitude of local organizations and charities, particularly with foster care, youth services and youth mentoring. His service has been recognized with his induction into the Forest City Education Hall of Fame, and the Forest City Chamber of Commerce Lifetime Achievement Award. He is an active member of Rotary Club of Forest City, Forest City Economic Development, and Immanuel Lutheran Church.
Mr. Beebe has invested his philanthropic energies toward supporting the youth of North Central Iowa. He chairs both the Forest City Educational Foundation and the Waldorf Lutheran College Foundation. These entities have increased in both their visibility and their assets under Mr. Beebe’s leadership. Through these foundations, Mr. Beebe has kept the dream of attending college, or at least making it much more affordable, for countless students.
Mr. Beebe’s investment in the youth is not merely an academic or financial one. Each year, he invites Waldorf students for a focus group and asks about their experience and interests. He uses this interaction for his article in the Waldorf Magazine. He continues to follow up with these students throughout their Waldorf career. In addition, Ray and his wife Joan have hosted students at their homes over breaks and longer periods of time. Ray also invites Forest City high school students to breakfast to mentor them and checks up with them when they return to Forest City on breaks from college.
Finally, Mr. Beebe has been a major advocate for Waldorf University in the larger community. He has written several editorials in the local paper noting the positive progression of Waldorf over the years. He continually speaks highly of Waldorf and the faculty, staff and students at Rotary and other public gatherings.

GRADUATION HONORS
Special honors are awarded to Bachelor level students at the time of graduation in recognition of high scholarship. These are designated by the terms cum laude (with distinction), magna cum laude (with high distinction), and summa cum laude (with highest distinction).
Summa Cum Laude (With Highest Distinction): 3.90 – 4.00 GPA, gold cords
Magna Cum Laude (With High Distinction): 3.70 – 3.89 GPA, silver cords
Cum Laude (With Distinction): 3.50 – 3.69 GPA, purple cord
Graduates wearing gold medallions with green and blue ribbon were selected into membership to Alpha Chi, the national scholastic honors society. Alpha Chi admits to membership students from all academic disciplines. Only students in the top ten percent of the junior and senior classes may be invited to join. As an honors society, Alpha Chi recognizes previous accomplishments and provides opportunity for continued growth and service. Students wearing gold honors medallions with gold ribbon are Waldorf Scholars, and graduates of the Waldorf Honors College. These scholars are students who were admitted to and successfully completed the program of the Honors College with a grade point average of at least 3.5.
Student Senate awards a white with purple lettering and script stole to student senators. The stole represents their dedication to the University for maintaining a GPA of 2.5 or higher and staying actively involved in Student Senate for at least two years. Student Senate plays a major role helping clubs and other organizations fund their activities.
BACCALAUREATE AND COMMENCEMENT
To signal the achievements of their students, American institutions of higher learning conduct formal ceremonies to award the appropriate degrees earned at the conclusion of prescribed study. The action of taking the degree, as well as the designation of the day itself, is Commencement.
Various explanations of the term Commencement are possible. The most likely is that centuries ago the bachelor, originally an apprentice, began his apprenticeship upon that day; and with the degree of M.A. and Ph.D., the masters and doctors commenced their work upon the day their degrees were conferred. So today, having finished their preliminary education, students set out to continue preparation for their vocation in life.
University’s such as Waldorf precede Commencement ceremonies with a worship service, Baccalaureate, also from the traditions originating in the early history of collegiate education and involving a formal academic procession. Since such education was originally conducted and/or sponsored by the Church, a sermon of commitment and challenge called the Baccalaureate is traditionally delivered to the graduates.
THE ACADEMIC PROCESSION
The academic processional that officially preludes the graduation ceremonies on college and university campuses is an old and colorful custom linking 21st century education to its origins in the Middle Ages.
Processions at Waldorf University are always led by the processional cross, symbolizing the centrality of the Christian faith to the mission of the University.
The processional cross is followed by Waldorf’s ceremonial mace, which symbolizes the authority and responsibility of the University. The mace is carried by Professor Julienne Friday.
Doctors Missy Reynolds and Paul Bartelt, professors Tiffany Olson and John Robinson serve as the Faculty Marshals. They direct the procession and guide members of the faculty, administration and students to their seats.
REGALIA
The academic regalia worn at commencement is of medieval origin. The scholars of Bologna, Salamanca, Paris, Oxford, Cambridge, Louvain and Heidelberg dressed to distinguish themselves from the merchants and other townsmen. Since the 11th century, when the rise of the universities began, “learned clerks” robed themselves in gowns, caps and hoods, thus marking a difference between “town and gown.”
By this apparel they were recognized as belonging to the teaching guild: the Guild of the Master of Arts. In this organization the bachelor was the apprentice of the master. This relationship was a forerunner of today’s academic structure, which often includes graduate and/or teaching assistants (usually studying for advanced degrees).
In our time customs vary as to the wearing of the academic gowns. In the older English universities the masters or dons continue to wear them while engaged in instructional duties; students are required to wear gowns while attending lectures or during tutorials. In many other European universities, academic regalia is worn only on certain stipulated occasions, as in America today.
Generally in Europe, the faculty member wears the type of garment customary in the university where the professor is lecturing. In the United States our tradition differs; our professors continue to wear the gown and hood of the university from which they received their highest degree.
The gown, in origin, may have been simply a type of overcoat to protect the teacher from the cold in unheated buildings; the cut or style seemingly derived from ecclesiastical attire. It has usually been black. The gowns of bachelors and masters were usually without trimmings, whereas those of doctors are faced down the front with velvet and adorned with three velvet bars on the bell-shaped sleeves. The master’s gown has pointed sleeves which reach nearly to the knees, while the bachelor’s gown has plain, straight sleeves.
The cap or “mortarboard” may have come from the squarish cap worn by the masons of the Middle Ages, or perhaps was suggested by the shape of the scholar’s books. Attached to a button atop the mortarboard is a tassel; bachelor’s and master’s tassels are black. Gold tassels are worn only by holders of doctoral degrees and by heads of institutions. The tassel is worn on the left side by those who have received a degree.
The hood, a triangular fold of cloth worn over the back of the gown, is faced with colors which denote the field of study represented by the wearer’s degree; the colors of the lining are those of the college or university by which the degree was granted. The length of the hood is correspondingly longer with each higher degree.
The wide velvet borders extending down the front of the doctoral gown, the velvet bars on the sleeves, and the borders of most hoods, are colored according to the scholarly field of the wearer. For all academic purposes, the colors associated with the different disciplines are as follows:
White – Arts, English, History, Humanities, Letters, Literature
Sage Green – Physical Education
Copper – Economics
Gold – Anthropology, Biochemistry, Physics, Science
Orange – Civil Engineering, Engineering
Scarlet – Divinity, Theology

THE WALDORF SEAL
Waldorf’s seal bears the symbol of the lamp and the book. The motto of the University is “Light and Truth.” As an educational institution, Waldorf is dedicated to the truth in all branches of human knowledge and the sharing of this truth through its work of teaching. As a University of the Christian church, Waldorf is founded upon and guided by the truth of God’s Word and is committed to the task of letting that truth light up the lives of all who come within its influence.
THE PROCESSIONAL MACE
Once a familiar weapon in medieval combat, the mace evolved over time into a symbol of authority and became associated with the pride of a nation and its origins. Later, the mace was adopted by universities as a symbol of the power of the academic pursuit of wisdom and truth. It is carried in academic processions to bring authority to ceremonial occasions and to symbolize the unity and aspirations of the collegiate community.
Waldorf’s processional mace was designed and presented to the University by Dr. James Roy in 1994. Dr. Roy is a prominent artist and former faculty member of Waldorf University, who later became chair of the Department of Art at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota.
Carried vertically, the mace stands four feet high and is constructed of walnut and oak wood. The triangular head of the mace symbolizes the triune God, and a sterling silver medallion graces each of the three sides of the mace head. One medallion is a stylized version of the University’s Seal, which includes the “lamp of learning,” the motto “Lux et Veritas” (Light and Truth), the date of founding (1903), and two crosses. Another places the Greek letters chi and ro, which are the first two letters in the Greek word for Christ, over a stylized section of Salveson Hall, the University’s original building. The third medallion is the seal of Martin Luther, which symbolizes the University’s commitment to the Lutheran understanding of the Christian faith. Several semiprecious gems stones adorn and decorate each of the medallions.
The Processional mace is carried in all formal academic processions of the University. The mace is carried by the University Marshal, and it follows the cross, which leads the procession.
THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDALLION
The tradition of a symbol of office is rooted in the colorful life of towns in the Middle Ages. The symbol of communal harmony was the mayor, who at his investiture was given a chain with a medallion that represented all the guilds working together for the welfare of the town. In the medieval university, the chief official, or rector magnificus, held authority similar to that of the mayor in civil society. Thus, he, too, was honored with a medallion, but his consisted of insignia of all the colleges of the university.
Waldorf University’s presidential medallion was created by artist James Roy in 1968. Dr. Roy had been a professor of art at Waldorf, and was at the time professor of art and chair of the Art Department of St. Cloud State University in Minnesota.
The medallion is made of sterling silver and is decorated with several garnets and pearls. The medallion’s face includes the lamp of learning set on an opened Bible, both symbols form the University’s Seal. The University’s name and its motto, Lux et Veritas (Light of Truth), surround the circular center of the medallion.
Rather than the more traditional chain, Roy designed a purple velvet shawl to hold the medallion. The fabric and color represent the historic commitments of the University to the Christian faith.
The presidential medallion is the official symbol of the office of the president of Waldorf University and is donned by the president when academic apparel is worn at formal academic celebrations.
