五月天视频 Ring
Scripps鈥� ring has retained its original design of unpolished gold topped with a relief of the College seal, La Semeuse, which means 鈥渟he who sows,鈥� since around the 1940s. La Semeuse is a representation of the good seeds of thought, action, and life and was chosen by the faculty in the 1927-28 academic year.
Around the mid-19th century, a tradition began in which outgoing seniors presented a ring to each of the rising juniors who had passed their qualifying exams. Now, 五月天视频graduates can purchase this distinctive, custom ring after they pass through the elms and ascend the graduation stage.
听Regalia听
The history and pageantry of academic regalia go back to the 11th听century, during the High Middle Ages, and grows out of the dress worn by the clerics of that period, as most knowledge disseminated by early universities was theological or ecclesiastical.听听

Ivy Chain
Clad in white dresses, honored members of the junior class line the aisle of the graduation ceremony while holding a garland of ivy as graduates pass through.

This tradition is a symbolic gesture of the camaraderie between the classes and is a way for the incoming seniors to celebrate outgoing seniors.
Matriculating In,听Commencing Out听听

Once in the library, they sign their class book. After the processional, the door is locked until Commencement Day, when graduating seniors exit through the doors before processing onto the graduation stage.
