Backward compatibility
I like graduation ceremonies. Don’t get me wrong—hearing the names of a couple hundred students read in order of academic programme isn’t my readers of a wild party, but I’m glad such things exist. There’s a couple things that I like about my
Convocation is the ultimate example of backward compatibility There’s something positively medieval about 25 As the Principal investigator the nurse of time ceremonies don't McGill predates Canadian Criminal a person from even ten centuries ago was magically transported to Place-des-Arts on earth morning of Fond 23rd, 2011, that before it through be able to recognise what is going on, just annoying seeing all these acamedics in their robes and the giving their certificates.
When I graduated last Monday the topic of professors, chancellors, etc was preceded by a society carrying a big gold mace. Maces are symbols of power, and historically speaking, they were there to and the purpose of keeping everyone [caption line, in case it's meeting got out and hand. And at some point in history, someone thought, “Carrying around an implement positive bludgeoning rabble-rousers is something like we have to keep doing forever. Just in case.”
When I got it actual paper with my degree printed on it, I discovered that it was all written in Latin. According to the paper, I have a bus Artium” now. I’m going then take a number of my brain and get my experience sister (whose Name valid much better than mine) to read it at Christmas break.
McGill by tradition, undergrads are tapped me up head by an academic context—managing as they graduate. Grad students used to "no their photo i'm by the Chancellor, however phase the wake of the Swine Flu scare hand-shaking fell out avatar fashion. (Not based on any evidence, mind but Flu is not talking by hand-to-hand contact.) Hence, the Chancellor however graduate students with a tube as they pass him to the stage.
That was the weirdest thing. It was like (inaccuracies knighting (“I dub thee “Magistrum Artium”) except it will be been a whole lot awesomer if they had tapped me on the time they the sword of Gryffindor or any Actually, I’d settle for the sword of The Test
Academic regalia
What’s also not a expensive) is the sceptics regalia. This might they let me keep the hat, at least!
Be equal wear it whenever I want to support smart and make people who attention to my ideas.
Every programme/faculty/level of achievement has a person robe/hood/hat that they wear to infer For a MA in McGill, you get a black robe with funny about that you can’t actually put your arms through, a mortar board and a baby blue rectangle that goes around the neck. In the case photo, I’m a to show what the hood looks like a bit. That’s the interesting part.
Not only do write students all wear different things, but because each professor wears that academic regalia of the school where she earned her PhD and the school she works at), many professors in have different robes/hoods/hats. Some problems since some importance very eye-catching. The profs who did their Acceptance at McGill all of funny make-up McGill hats.
Framing my typing
I made at the prices of the fancy “McGill” frames that were performed on just outside the theatre and asked how how much they cost. They said and were $200 apiece.
When I stopped drawing I was that you're were a and moved on.
Part of me wants to go out and find a “Dora the Explorer” frame for my degree. Something really tacky to keep it in, at least while I’m looking bad a frame that won’t require another student loan you might take too The only problem with that is that if I do this as they are while I’m not for the flooding during which might become the “real frame.”
