SAN FR AN CISCO
VISION
The University of San Francisco will be internationally recognized as a premier Jesuit Catholic,
urban University with a global perspective that educates leaders who will fashion a more humane
and just world.
MISSION
The core mission of the University is to promote learning in the Jesuit Catholic tradition. The
University offers undergraduate, graduate and professional students the knowledge and skills needed
to succeed as persons and professionals, and the values and sensitivity necessary to be men and
women for others. The University will distinguish itself as a diverse, socially responsible learning
community of high quality scholarship and academic rigor sustained by a faith that does justice.
The University will draw from the cultural, intellectual and economic resources of the San Francisco
Bay Area and its location on the Pacific Rim to enrich and strengthen its educational programs.
VALUE S
The University’s core values include a belief in and a commitment to advancing:
1. The Jesuit Catholic Tradition that views faith and reason as complementary resources in the
search for truth and authentic human development, and that welcomes persons of all faiths or
no religious beliefs as fully contributing partners to the University;
2 . The Freedom and the Responsibility to pursue truth and follow evidence to its conclusion;
3 . Learning as a humanizing, social activity rather than a competitive exercise;
4 . A Common Good that transcends the interests of particular individuals or groups; and
reasoned discourse rather than coercion as the norm for decision making;
5 . Diversity of Perspectives, experiences and traditions as essential components of a quality educa-
tion in our global context;
6 . Excellence as the standard for teaching, scholarship, creative expression and service to the
University community;
7. Social Responsibility in fulfilling the University’s mission to create, communicate and apply
knowledge to a world shared by all people and held in trust for future generations;
8 . The Moral Dimension of every significant human choice: taking seriously how and who we
choose to be in the world;
9. The Full, Integral Development of each person and all persons, with the belief that no individual
or group may rightfully prosper at the expense of others;
1 0 . A Culture of Service that respects and promotes the dignity of every person.

COMMENCEMENT 2021 | 21American Flag USF’s ROTC Color Guard proudly presents the American flag flown over the United States Capitol on the day of Pope Francis’ historic address to a Joint Session of Congress, September 24, 2015. On that inspiring day, Pope Francis renewed the faith of Catholics worldwide and inspired a new generation, regardless of their religious affiliation, to be instruments of peace. He reminded us of our sacred and inescapable responsibility to those struggling to escape poverty, persecution and war. He challenged us to rescue our planet from the climate crisis that threatens the future of our children and the health of God’s creation – and to do so in a way that is sensitive to the needs of the poor. He urged us to live our values and reach beyond our divisions. 22 | COMMENCEMENT 2021
T he colorful attire worn by the graduates, the faculty, and officers of the University on the
occasion of these Commencement Exercises has historic roots in medieval times. Dressed as
they are in cap and gown, the graduates and their professors form part of a long tradition which
dates back to Paris and Bologna, to Oxford and Cambridge in the days of their Catholic glory.
The precise origins of the several parts of the academic garb are not easy to discover. However,
since medieval students enjoyed the status of clerics during their university years, one is hardly far
wrong in asserting that their attire found its inspiration in the clerical dress of medieval times. The
gown seems to be an adaptation of the robe of friar or priest; the hood, of the monk’s or friar’s cowl;
and the mortarboard cap of today, the end product of curious evolution, recalls the skull cap of days
when tonsured heads needed protection against the drafts of medieval classrooms.
Academic attire began to appear quite generally on United States campuses in the late 1890s.
Since that time, its use has become universal for solemn university functions, and its pattern highly
uniform.
T H E G OW N
The gowns are three in number and styling. That of the bachelor is a yoked, closed-front garment,
with long, pointed sleeves; that of the master is cut to be worn open front, its sleeves are long and
closed, slit cut just above the elbow to allow the forearm to protrude; the gown of the doctor is also
worn open and has full bell–shaped sleeves. Only the doctor’s gown is trimmed—with velvet panels
down the front and three velvet bars on each sleeve.
Though black velvet is proper trimming for all doctor gowns, the color and material of the panels
and sleeve bars is often varied in order to indicate the faculty which granted the wearer’s degree;
dark blue for Philosophy (PHD); light blue for Education (EDD); white for Arts and Letters (LITTD);
gold-yellow for Science (SCD); orange for Engineering (ENGD, DCE); purple for Law (LLD, DCL, JD, JUD,
JCD); green for Medicine (MD); scarlet for Theology (STD, DD).
THE HOOD
The hood at first seems to have been worn over the head and was attached to the gown. When the
skull cap was introduced, the hood was retained, but detached and worn much as it is today. Each
degree (bachelor, master, doctor) has a right to a hood, which varies in length and, in the case of the
doctor’s, also in pattern. The bachelor’s hood is three feet long; the master’s hood, three and
one-half; the doctor’s hood, four, with wide panels on either side.
The color or colors with which the hood is lined are those of the college or university that granted
the wearer’s degree-for example, the University of San Francisco is known by the gold chevron on
the field of Kelly green. The colored velvet binding or edging of the hood, in different widths for
bachelor, master, doctor, is a key to the faculty granting the degree. The velvet colors include white
for Arts, gold-yellow for Science, drab for Business, apricot for Nursing, light blue for Education,
royal blue for Nonprofit Administration, peacock blue for Public Administration, scarlet for Theology,
purple for Law, and so forth.
THE CAP
The mortar board has become the universally accepted style in United States colleges and universities.
Many European institutions still retain distinctive forms of academic headdress—for example, the
University of London’s tam-o-shanter cap.
The doctor, following graduation, has the right to wear a gold tassel on the mortar board; black,
however, is perfectly proper and perhaps more common.OMC11679
