sO u tHe rn Me tHO d ist univ er sit y
In 1911, a Methodist education commission made
a commitment to establish a major Methodist
university in Texas. More than 600 acres of open
prairie and $300,000 pledged by a group of Dallas
citizens secured the university for Dallas, and it
was chartered as Southern Methodist University. In
appreciation of the city’s support, the first building
to be constructed on the campus was named Dallas
Hall. It remains the centerpiece and symbol of SMU.
When the University opened in 1915, it consisted of
two buildings, 706 students, a 35-member faculty
and total assets of $636,540. The original schools of SMU were the College
of Arts and Sciences, the School of Theology and the School of Music.
Today SMU offers more than 117 undergraduate majors, master’s degrees
in more than 122 areas, doctoral degrees in 35
fields and more than 77 certificate programs.
Enrollment for the spring 2023 term was 11,597,
including 6,879 undergraduate students and 4,718
graduate students. SMU students come from 50
states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and
90 countries. About 73% of first-year students
received some form of financial assistance for spring
2023.
In addition to preparing students for graduate
and professional schools, or more directly for their
life’s work, the University strives to enhance their social, moral, intellectual
and religious development so that they may lead worthy lives as individuals
and citizens of the nation and of the world.
ac a deM ic prOc e ssi On, reg al ia tr adi tiO n an d sMu rega li a
The academic procession and the regalia worn by the faculty and officers of
the University symbolically represent the continuing link between the modern
American university and the founding of the great medieval universities in
Europe – chief among them Bologna, Paris and Oxford. As those institutions
were derived from the Catholic Church, the universities adopted many of the
ceremonial trappings of the church in their official public functions.
The caps and gowns worn in the procession vary from place to place.
There are variations in design to indicate the degrees held by the wearers,
and many universities in America have introduced colorful gowns and other
distinguishing details (in place of the customary clerical black from which all
originated). The caps, too, vary according to the customs of the university
from which the wearer received a degree. While most American universities
adopted the “mortarboard” style of Oxford, others have chosen styles based
on other European institutions. The color of the tassel worn with the cap
may be black for any degree, or the color may be that of the faculty of the
major field of learning (e.g., arts, engineering, law). Persons holding doctoral
degrees and governing officials of institutions are entitled to wear tassels of
gold metallic thread.
Within the great varieties of styles and colors in gowns and caps, there
has been one universally accepted code for the hood worn trailing down the
wearer’s back. Originally, it was like the hood on the habit worn by monks
and very useful for protection against the weather and even for begging for
alms. Nowadays, the hood through length and color shows the degree and the
specialization of the wearer, and the university that granted the degree.
Candidates for degrees at SMU are robed in custom regalia, designed to
incorporate SMU’s colors and symbols.
The doctoral gown in dark blue includes velvet chevrons on each of the
bell sleeves. The front velvet panels are embroidered in gold thread with the
SMU seal, and gold braid outlines the chevrons and panels. An eight-sided,
crimson red velvet tam with a gold silk tassel completes the regalia.
The master’s gown, also in dark blue, has a front yolk outlined in red
braid, and the SMU seal is embroidered in red on the left side. Gowns have
a long sleeve through a slit at the wrist. A mortarboard with a colored tassel
representing the discipline in which the degree is earned also is worn.
Doctoral and master’s candidates wear hoods that are 3½ feet long and 4
feet long, respectively. SMU’s hood lining is blue with red chevron.
The bachelor’s gowns’ distinguishing characteristics are the long pointed
sleeves and full front pleats. A red silk Stole of Gratitude embroidered in blue
with the SMU seal is worn across the shoulders. It is tradition for graduates
to present their stoles to individuals who have made a positive impact in their
lives. Bachelor’s gowns are worn with a tassel and mortarboard.
Through these colorful ceremonies, SMU symbolically displays the
continuity of its educational purposes with the origins of organized learning
in the Western world.

Chains of office, also known as collars, were used
as badges of office in the Middle Ages. Today they
are custom-designed metal necklaces worn by the
president during academic ceremonies as part of
his or her regalia.
The chain of office designed for the 10th president
of SMU, R. Gerald Turner, is made of bronze,
a strong and durable metal. The medallion of
the necklace is dominated by the University seal
design, just as the seal is the centerpiece in the floor
of the Rotunda in Dallas Hall, SMU’s historic
first building.
The bail, joining the medallion and the chain,
represents the institution’s bond between the faculty
and the student body. Equally, the 32-inch chain, a work
of art whose two ends are clasped together, represents
the joining of the desire to teach and the eagerness to
learn demonstrated by SMU’s faculty and students.
tH e HO war d lan ter n
The Howard Lantern is dedicated to Professor Lorn
Lambier Howard, chief marshal emeritus of SMU from
1978–1987. Crafted out of steel, aluminum and water
glass, the lantern depicts the Rotunda of Dallas Hall.
Engraved around the base is the University’s motto,
Veritas Liberabit Vos, which means “The truth will
make you free.”
Around the top band are the words to Varsity,
SMU’s alma mater. The lantern serves as a reminder of
the important traditions that make up our University life
and the light of learning and intellectual curiosity that
shines within the students, faculty and staff at SMU.
tH e un ive r sit y Ma ce
Staffs that call groups to order are as old as civilization
itself. Today’s ceremonial maces descend particularly
from medieval armor-piercing clubs topped by
bludgeoning balls. These fierce weapons swiftly
acquired symbolic meaning. By the 14th century,
a mace, carried at the front of formal processions,
required bystanders to note the authority and integrity
of the event. In the 16th century, this formidable
weapon lost its battle utility but took a symbolic turn:
the spiked head evolved into a decorative orb. The
European tradition by which universities presented
maces on solemn occasions to signify their independence and protective
power was adopted by their successors worldwide. The mace-bearer, who
is the president of the Faculty Senate, leads formal
ceremonies carrying this visible reminder of the
University’s history and status.
The 22-pound mace currently in use at SMU
is linked to the inauguration of President Willis M.
Tate (1954–1972 and 1974–75) and is known as the
Tate Mace. The 57-inch staff is topped by a 10½-inch
orb that represents not only the University’s worldly
authority but also echoes its distinctive neoclassical
style. The orb is impressed with the seal of the
University and is encircled with SMU’s motto, Veritas
Liberabit Vos (“The truth will make you free”). Surmounting the orb is a cross
painted vividly in SMU red, a reminder of SMU’s religious heritage.
tH e Br adl e y ke nt cart e r Bat O n
The Bradley Kent Carter Baton is carried by the chief
marshal during academic ceremonies and represents
the authority of the collective faculty in the academic
life of the institution and of the role of chief
marshal as master of ceremonies at formal university
convocations.
A tradition dating back 500 years ago to the
University of Oxford, the chief marshal oversees the
faculty members of the Guild of Marshals. Faculty
marshals are responsible for the execution of the
ceremony, the upholding of decorum and traditions,
and the processions of candidates, faculty and the platform party. SMU’s
marshals are identified by their bright red gowns with black chevrons.
The Carter Baton is dedicated to Associate Professor Emeritus of Political
Science and chief marshal Emeritus Bradley Kent Carter, who served for
many years in the Guild of Marshals before serving
as chief marshal from 1991–2008. Professor Carter
is a staunch supporter of the traditions and customs
of academic ceremonies, but also added his own
mark in fostering a number of the traditions now
celebrated.
Made from rosewood, the Carter Baton initially
served as the University’s first official academic
ceremonial mace until it was replaced in 1954 by the
Tate Mace, currently still in use. The orb of the Carter
Baton bears the seal of SMU. In the fall of 2017, it was
refurbished with bronze bands honoring all known chief marshals in SMU’s
history. During the ceremony it is placed on a custom stand. The original
designer and manufacturer of the baton are unknown. Refurbishment was
completed by Medallic Art Company.
SMU is the nationally ranked global research university in the dynamic city of Dallas. SMU’s alumni, faculty and more than 12,000 students in
eight degree-granting schools demonstrate an entrepreneurial spirit as they lead change in their professions, communities and the world.
Building on its history of excellence, the University has launched SMU Ignited: Boldly Shaping Tomorrow – a multiyear $1.5 billion campaign
to empower outstanding students, to enrich teaching and research, and to enhance our campus and community.
