A Brief History of the University of Louisville
The University of Louisville traces its roots to 1798 when the Jefferson
Seminary was established.
During the early 19th century, the growing importance of river navigation,
coupled with a strategic location at the falls of the Ohio River, made Louisville
a commercial hub for the South and West. As the city’s population and
economy grew, so did the demand for higher education.
In 1837, the Louisville Medical Institute opened for its first class, and the next
year the city created the Louisville Collegiate Institute. In 1846, the General
Assembly merged the Medical and Collegiate Institutes as the University
of Louisville. The Assembly created a common board of trustees, but each
division retained financial autonomy. The medical school prospered, and a
newly added School of Law brought in a number of students. By the 1880s and
1890s however, the university felt some pressure from education reformers
who not only believed schools should employ full-time instructors, but also
advocated well-enforced national standards for academic training. In 1907,
this trend contributed to the revival of the College of Arts and Sciences. Over
the next three decades, the university added new programs – the Graduate
School (1915), the School of Dentistry (1916), the Speed Scientific School
(1928), the Louisville Municipal College (1931), the School of Music (1932) and
the Kent School of Social Work (1936).
World War II and the postwar era brought major changes to UofL. Shortly
after the war, the movement began to close the all-Black Louisville Municipal
College and desegregate the university on all levels. This was accomplished
in 1950 and 1951. The School of Business was established in 1953. In 1965,
a governor’s task force suggested the possibility of the university’s joining
the state system of higher education, which it did five years later. Since 1968
the university has added several new academic units including the School of
Education (1968), the School of Nursing (1979), the School of Allied Health
Sciences (1996-2002) and the School of Public Health and Information
Sciences (2002).
The university continues to grow to meet the changing needs of the
commonwealth. New academic programs and innovative forms of instruction
along with expanded and improved campus facilities further UofL’s place
in helping meet the needs of students and of the 21st-century economy.
Student success remains priority No. 1 for the university and, in fall 2024, UofL
enrolled a record-breaking 24,703 students. The university remains uniquely
positioned to create a thriving future for Louisville, for Kentucky and for the
world, and looks forward to the successes of its newest graduates.

University and as dean of the University of Michigan-Dearborn College of
Business.

Before serving in higher education, Schatzel spent more than 20 years as a

corporate leader and serial entrepreneur in the technology and advanced

Commencement Symbols and Traditions
University commencement ceremonies are important symbols of the continuity of university education
and the traditions that underlie this education. Participants will notice at least three unique qualities to
the University’s commencement—the mace, the regalia, and the processionals.

The Mace
The mace has an ancient history as a symbol of authority. Originally it was a weapon of offense, made
of iron and capable of breaking armor. It was a giant club which came to be associated with brave men
who fought to protect the king’s person. Maces were borne by sergeants-at-arms to protect Phillip II of
France and Richard I of England.
The use of maces for civic purposes began about the middle of the thirteenth century. By the sixteenth
century they were covered with silver and used by several cities. In 1649, the House of Commons
obtained a mace and in 1756, a silver mace was made for the Colony of South Carolina, which is still
used in the state capitol of Columbia. As a symbol of authority, the mace usually has arms engraved on
or near the top and these or a cross may be protected by a coronet or arched crown.
In commencement processions, the mace is carried in before the president or chancellor and the
dignitaries composing the platform party. Along with historic and colorful costumes, flags, and regalia
of office, it stands for order and authority.
In the fall of 1966, the University of Louisville commissioned John Prangnell, sculptor and assistant
professor of Fine Arts, to prepare a university mace. Prangnell’s approach was to avoid the standard
format used for such maces and to develop an instrument to convey the University’s involvement with
the future. The result is a gold-plated mace, the head of which maintains free-flowing upswept lines with
a number of indentations and inserts, one of them cherry wood, to symbolize the uncertainties and the
hidden beauties of the future and higher education’s part in it. The mace is therefore a piece of modern
symbolic art rather than a replica of standard medieval forms. The mace was accepted by the UofL
Board of Trustees on June 11, 1967.

The Academic Regalia

The tradition of gowns and hoods being worn as academic regalia at graduation ceremonies stems
from a distinctive style of academic dress that emerged in the first universities in Europe in the twelfth
century. The style was influenced by the fact that masters and scholars at that time were usually
members of the clergy. For example, in 1222 at the Council of Oxford, the Archbishop of Canterbury
ordered English clerics to wear the cappa clausa - a closed, flowing gown based on a lay fashion of the
period. As a result, this garment came to be regarded as academic dress for university masters who, as
clerics, wore it. Later, when the clergy neglected the rule in general, the garment was recognized as an
exclusively academic one.
The pileus, a common headdress of medieval laymen, was adopted by the Church at the Synod of
Bergamo (1311) and became typical headwear at the universities. The caps and tams worn by faculty are
a direct descendant of the pileus. The pileus quadratus, or square cap, is today’s mortarboard worn by
most graduates.
The hood as an academic vestment originated from the cowl worn by monks in the Middle Ages as
protection against inclement European weather. It was worn over a short cape known as a tippet, and
had a tail, known as a liripipe, which was used to pull the hood over the head and wrapped around the
throat to keep the hood in place. Today the tippet remains as part of the hood and, although the hood
is never worn on the head, the liripipe is retained as the funnel-shaped hood.
The tradition of wearing the hood hanging down the back is said to be derived from the practice of
medieval monks, many of whom were solicitors in the King’s Court, who used the bag-like hanging hood
as a “contribution bowl” for clients and well wishers. Early scholars used the hood to collect the fees
for lectures.
Colors have long been significant in denoting different academic disciplines and, more recently, levels
of scholastic achievement. Standard gowns of different shape, length and sleeve design indicate the
degrees of Bachelor, Master and Doctor. The robes of the President, Provost, Chair of the Board of
Trustees, and Grand Marshal represent the office, not the degree.

Hoods and Tassels
The distinctive colors in the hoods and the tassels of the caps accord with the following table:

Audiology Spruce Green Library Science Lemon

Business Drab Medicine Kelly Green
Dentistry Lilac Music. Pink
Education Light Blue Nursing Apricot
Engineering Orange Philosophy Dark Blue
Fine Arts Brown Public Administration Peacock Blue
Information Sciences Gold Public Health Salmon Pink
Law Purple Science Gold
Liberal Arts White Social Work Citron

The tassels on the caps of the seniors indicate by this table the nature of their degrees. In the hoods of the fac-
ulty and guests, the color of the border indicates the type of degree, while the lining of the hood shows colors
of the university which bestowed the degree.

Banners
The school and college banners display the colors of the academic units. The red and black border represents
the University and the diagonal stripes display the following colors:

Arts and Sciences White and Gold

Business Drab
Dentistry Lilac
Education and Human Development Light Blue

Alma Mater & Alumni Song
We thy sons and daughters stand,
To sing thy highest praise,
With deepest rev’rence in our hearts,
For these our college days.
Thy honor true we all defend,
‘Tis known we love thee well.
Our thoughts for years to come will be
Of thee, our UofL.
Now our thoughts go back to you,
Our Alma Mater dear,
To days gone by with friends we loved
Now scattered far and near
On shaded walks and campus green,
Your sons and daughters true,
With voices raised and spirits high
Sing loud their praise to you.
