Bergen Community College Bergen Community College was founded in 1965 and admitted its first class of students in September 1968. The first class graduated in June 1970. Bergen is a comprehensive community college offering liberal arts, transfer and career programs and a wide range of community services. The College seeks to provide a higher education for all that can benefit from it.
The Seal
In 2007, Bergen Community College retired the original seal that had proudly represented the institution since 1970. With a team of designers and creative professionals, the College unveiled its new seal, which maintains elements of the past and adds new components as well. The torch, the focal point of the Bergen seal, both past and present, symbolizes the College and the light of learning that the institution provides. A book, emblazoned with the College’s year of inception – 1965 – symbolizes the pursuit of education. The torch’s rays illuminate the area to provide the means for education. In whole, the seal represents the College’s mission to impart the benefit of education to its students.
The Medallion The Mace
The bronze medallion, to be worn by the president at all formal ceremonies, bears
the new Bergen seal.
Originally, the mace was a weapon of war and was so used as late as the sixteenth century. Its use as a ceremonial standard probably began during the reign of Richard I of England in the thirteenth century. The mace, carried by the grand marshal of the academic procession, is a symbol of authority of the office of the president of the college. The styles of caps, gowns and hoods worn at academic functions date back to the Middle Ages. Then, monks and students wore them to keep warm in damp, drafty castles and halls of learning.
Academic Heraldry The gowns for the bachelor’s degree have long, pointed sleeves and are designed to be worn closed. The holder of the master’s degree wears a gown with an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist. The sleeve base hangs down, and the rear part of its oblong shape is square-cut. The gown may be worn open or closed. Another, older, master’s gown is always worn open, has a long sleeve that is square and closed at the end and has a slit near the elbow that permits the forearm to come through. Gowns for the doctor’s degree may also be worn open or closed, but they carry broad velvet panels down the front and three velvet bars on the full, round, open sleeves. The velvet trimming may be either black or the color distinctive of the field of learning to which the degree pertains. Academic gowns for each level are black, although there are a few institutions that permit doctoral recipients to have gowns of the characteristic institutional color. Academic protocol allows trustees, presidents and marshals of higher education institutions to wear gowns that are specially designed and colored. Caps may be of serge, broadcloth – or for the doctor’s regalia only – of velvet. The tassel is black or the color appropriate to the subject, except the doctor’s cap may have a tassel of gold bullion. It is the hood that gives color and real meaning to the academic costume. A black shell, of varying size for the three degrees, and of material to match the gown, is silk lined with the color or colors of the institution conferring the degree. The hoods for the bachelor’s and master’s degrees are the same shape, while the doctor’s hood is both larger and of a different style, having a flat panel at the back. The hood is bordered with velvet, of the proper width to indicate the degree and of the color signifying the field of learning to which the degree pertains.
