Oarlc "All for Jesus" Professor Brian F. Crossman Mr. Frantz Professor Friberg Academic dress in America dates back to colonial times, and in 1895 a uniform code was adopted for the design of caps, gowns, and hoods, and for the colors to be used for the various degrees. The bachelor's and the master's gowns are black and have a stiff yoke, shirring across the shoulder, and pleated front panels. The doctor's gown is much fuller and may be in ornamental colors. Velvet panels around the neck extend down the front edges to the hem, and three horizontal bars decorate the sleeves. The hood was originally used as a head covering or shoulder cape, and is retained today for the sake of tradition. Hoods are lined with colored silk representing the colors of the institution awarding the degree. The outside velvet border of the hoods marks the area of study, for example, white for liberal arts, scarlet for theology, yellow for science. The cap is usually black, and is often referred to as the "mortarboard," since its shape is much like that of the square board used for mixing mortar. The tassel hangs from the left. In today's ceremony, graduates wearing blue and gold cords are members of Psi Chi, the national honor society for psychology.
Lead On, 0 King Eternal Lead on, 0 King eternal, The day of march has come; Henceforth in fields of conquest Thy tents shall be our home: Through days of preparation Thy grace has made us strong, And now, 0 King eternal, We lift our battle-song. Lead on, 0 King eternal: We follow, not with fears; For gladness breaks like morning Where'er thy face appears; Thy cross is lifted o'er us; We journey in its light: The crown awaits the conquest; Lead on, 0 God of might Amen. Lead on, 0 King eternal, Till sin's fierce war shall cease, And Holiness shall whisper The sweet amen of peace; For not with swords loud clashing, Nor roll of stirring drums, But deeds of love and mercy, The heavenly kingdom comes. Take My Life and Let It Be Consecrated Take my life, and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to thee. Take my moments and my days; Let them flow in ceaseless praise. Take my hands, and let them move At the impulse of thy love. Take my feet, and let them be Swift and beautiful for thee. Take my voice; and let me sing, Always, only, for my King. Take my lips, and let them be Filled with messages from thee. Take my silver and my gold; Not a mite would I withhold. Take my intellect, and use Every power as thou shalt choose. Take my will, and make it thine; It shall be no longer mine. Take my heart, it is thine own; It shall be thy royal throne. Take my love; my Lord, I pour At thy feet its treasure-store. Take myself, and I will be Ever, only, all for thee. Amen
All for Jesus All for Jesus! All for Jesus! All my being's ransomed powers, All my thoughts, and words, and doings, All my days and all my hours. Let my hands perform His bidding, Let my feet run in His ways, Let mine eyes see Jesus only, Let my lips speak forth His praise. Worldlings prize their gems of beauty, Cling to gilded toys of dust, Boast of wealth, and fame, and pleasure; Only Jesus will I trust. Since mine eyes were fixed on Jesus, I've lost sight of all beside- So enchained my spirit's vision, Looking at the Crucified. Oh, what wonder! How amazing! Jesus, glorious King of kings, Deigns to call me His beloved, Lets me rest beneath His wings. Amen.
