Encaenia - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography At certain universities Encaenia is an annual ceremony typically involving the presentation of honorary degrees to famous alumni and to leading public figures. The word is derived from the Greek, meaning a festival of renewal or dedication, and corresponds to the Latin term Commencement, which will perhaps be more familiar to most people, especially in north America. The most famous Encaenia is the ceremony at the University of Oxford, traditionally taking place on Wednesday of the ninth week of Trinity Term (meaning, typically, a Wednesday in the latter part of June). arikah.com /encyclopedia/Encaenia   (222 words)

The Encaenia Ceremony : University of Oxford 'Encaenia' is the ceremony held annually on the Wednesday of ninth week of Trinity Term at which the University awards honorary degrees to distinguished men and women and commemorates its benefactors. Encaenia is a Greek word for a festival of renewal; in St John's gospel it is traditionally translated 'festival of dedication'. The Oxford Encaenia is the surviving part of a more extensive ceremony called 'The Act', which used to include ambitious musical works, often composed for the occasion, and such traditional features as a satirical speech, often scurrilous and sometimes scandalous, by an anonymous speaker known as Terrae Filius, 'Son of the Earth'. www.ox.ac.uk /aboutoxford/encaenia.shtml   (412 words)

Constantine and the Encaenia The urgency, however, with which Constantine commanded the bishops to assemble in Jerusalem for the Encaenia is something to consider when discussing possible reasons behind the timing of the Encaenia.  The Encaenia was further associated with the emperor and his tricennalia by the presence of the notary Marianus who arranged the episcopal banquets, money and clothes for the impoverished, and rich offerings for the basilica itself. Not only was it the first imperial Encaenia but the feast brought together connections between the cult of Jupiter, the days of Atonement and Tabernacles, the Cross of victory, the death and resurrection of Christ, the victory of Constantine over Licinius, and an offering of thanksgiving for a thirty year reign. users.ox.ac.uk /~mikef/pubs/Studia_Patristica_39_Fraser.html   (1554 words)

Untitled Document   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17) The time for Encaenia has been altered so as to be more convenience for the parents and guests of the Seniors. In the Bible we find the term Encaenia applied especially to the feast established by Judas Machabeus at the re-concentration of the temple, when Judas and his brothers dedicated the altar and ordered that this feast be observed for eight days each year.

Beerbohm-The Encaenia of 1908 The Encaenia of 1908 was drawn in response to Oxford’s annual conferring of honorary degrees in 1907. If Oxford wished to honor a writer of fiction, she should have selected someone working on a less popular, a higher plane of art.”[ii] Thus the “comic Encaenia” was born. They were as long as himself and the walk he managed in them was, well, incommunicably funny.”[iii] Max’s choices for his version of the Encaenia of 1908 would certainly not have been contenders for an honorary degree. www.arthistory.upenn.edu /ashmolean/Beerbohm/Beerbohm_entry.html   (965 words)

Encaenia – University of Oxford - June 2005 By 1760 the Encaenia had assumed a form very like that which it has today.

Furman: Engaged Learning at a Leading Liberal Arts University In any event, we have developed our own tradition: we are conducting not just an Encaenia, but also what is known at Oxford as a matriculation ceremony, in which the candidates for instruction are officially presented to the Vice-Chancellor at the beginning of the academic year. Thus, the answer to the question, "What are we doing here?" may arguably begin with the humanities or in Furman Hall, but eventually embraces not only all academic disciplines, departments, and majors, but the germination and circulation of all human ideas, and thus marks the success of all human interaction. This Convocation, this Encaenia, this Commencement, is commencing not only the 2005-2006 academic year, but also the Year of the Humanities at Furman. www.furman.edu /press/pressarchive.cfm?ID=3687   (1415 words)

Oxford University Gazette: Encaenia 2005 THE PUBLIC ORATOR: Encaenia, as our programme books helpfully inform us, means a festival of renewal: on this day we slough off our old skin and emerge glittering in silk, velvet and polyester, in red and pink and gold. But the gold medallist for getting himself remembered is surely Dr John Radcliffe, physician to Queen Anne, who to date has had named after him two libraries, two hospitals, a square, and a quadrangle, thus establishing the important principle that medics expect to be rewarded at a higher rate than the rest of us. Encaenia itself has changed over the years: it was not always the decorous occasion that we present today. www.ox.ac.uk /gazette/2004-5/supps/1_4739.htm   (9472 words)
