This tradition dates from the late 1880s, when second-
year students decorated the Chapel for Class Day with
daisies picked in nearby fields. The decorations later
took the form of a floral rope. Today, the Daisy Chain

is displayed for the graduates and their guests.2022 ALANA

The custom of wearing academic dress stems from the Middle Ages when scholars were also
clerics and wore the costumes of their monastic orders. Significant parts of academic dress are
the gown, the hood, and the cap. Each has a particular significance and is worn in accordance
with standards established by the Academic Costume Code of the American Council on Education.

The President and Board of Trustees of Vassar College
in the State of New York send greetings
to all those who will read this document.
Be it known that we, with the approval of the Faculty
have conferred upon
38
the title and degree commonly called Bachelor of Arts
and with it all the rights,
honors, privileges, universally attendant upon it.
In witness whereof let this document stand, with the seal of
the College and the signatures of the Chairman of
the Board of Trustees and of the President.
Date
Chairman, Board of Trustees
PresidentLAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT We acknowledge that Vassar stands upon the homelands of the Munsee Lenape, Indigenous peoples who have an enduring connection to this place despite being forcibly displaced by European colonization. Munsee Lenape peoples continue today as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community in Wisconsin, the Delaware Tribe and the Delaware Nation in Oklahoma, and the Munsee- Delaware Nation in Ontario. This acknowledgment, however, is insufficient without our reckoning with the reality that every member of the Vassar community since 1861 has benefited from these Native peoples’ displacement, and it is hollow without our efforts to counter the effects of structures that have long enabled— and that still perpetuate—injustice against Indigenous Americans. To that end, we commit to build and sustain relationships with 39 Native communities; to expand opportunities at Vassar for Native students, as well as Native faculty and other employees; and to collaborate with Native nations to know better the Indigenous peoples, past and present, who care for this land.
