22 HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY HOFSTRA HERITAGE
he history of athletics at Hofstra is as old as the The Hofstra Flag University itself, and is steeped in the Dutch heritage that The Hofstra storm flag is modeled after an actual Dutch geus, a TThelps to make Hofstra such a unique school. privateer’s flag. In 1991 a representative of Holland’s Queen Beatrix presented the banner to then Hofstra President (now Hofstra has always had strong roots in tradition. Ties to Dutch President Emeritus) James M. Shuart. The history of the flag heritage and the Netherlands began with William S. Hofstra, after dates back to 1572, when a group of Dutch loyalists called whom the school is named and on whose property the University Watergeuzen used the flag’s mast to ram the gates of a Dutch was started. When the doors opened in 1935, the sole building city in their opposition to Spanish rule. While the Netherlands on campus was Hofstra’s mansion, which he had affectionately Royal Navy flies the original red, white and blue geus, the Hofstra named the Netherlands after his homeland. The mansion, which version has been redesigned in the school colors of gold, white houses administrative offices, is now the center of Hofstra’s 240- and blue. acre campus, and has been renamed Hofstra Hall. The gold, white and blue Hofstra colors themselves spring from Dutch roots. The first official Hofstra flag appeared on April 19, Also adopted in this early stage of Hofstra’s history was the 1940, when Dr. Alexander Loudon, an envoy for Queen school alma mater, “The Netherlands.” The lyrics were written by Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, presented his country’s flag to a faculty member to the music of the Dutch national anthem by Hofstra in a special ceremony. However, the flag he presented the 16th-century Dutch composer Valerius. was not the red, white and blue flag of the Netherlands, but the orange, white and blue banner of William of Nassau with a Hofstra emblem placed on the flag. The University has used the design ever since, although President Shuart, after researching the colors, replaced the orange hue with gold, making the flag truer to the original House of Nassau. The flag is one of Hofstra’s most recognizable symbols, utilized in publications, pins and souvenirs.
The Hofstra Seal The Hofstra seal, another easily recognizable emblem, was designed from the royal Dutch emblem by art instructor Constant Van de Wall. The seal is modeled on the coat of arms of the House of Orange-Nassau. The round seal includes the coat of arms, flanked by lions on either side. A lion also stands in the center of the coat of arms, holding a sword in its right claw and a bundle of seven arrows, which represent the seven provinces of Holland, in its left. The seal also carries the motto of the House of Orange-Nassau in Old French: “Je maintiendray” (I stand steadfast). In 1988 one of the two lions on the seal was officially replaced with a lioness. The seal is now the focal point of the “Hofstra Pride” logo.
WOMEN’ S SOCCER 23 HOFSTRA HERITAGE
The Hofstra Nicknames The Hofstra nickname has also evolved over the years. For decades, Hofstra athletic teams have used the nicknames Flying Dutchmen, Dutchmen, or Dutch. Recently, an additional nickname of The Pride has become popular. We have not changed our nickname. We are both the Dutch (and its variations) and the Pride.
The Pride nickname started during the University’s dramatic recovery and growth in the mid to late ‘80’s from a major fiscal crisis during the previous decade. The first consistent use of the word “Pride” relating to athletics started in 1989 when the University’s athletic booster club was founded and called itself The Pride Club. At that time it had no meaning associated with our teams. It was simply consistent with a general feeling about all of our efforts.
The Pride nickname has also evolved over the past decade in a more specific fashion than just the expression of the feeling. The word pride is used to describe a sense of having strong self- respect or a sense of accomplishment. But in 1988 the lion on the right side of the shield on the Hofstra seal was changed into a lioness to symbolize gender equity. This, in turn, led to the development of the University mascots — Kate and Willie Pride, a lion and lioness. The two lions led to extensive use of the word “Pride” in talking about Hofstra, as a group of lions is called a pride. In 1995 bronze reproductions of the lion and lioness were Venus agreed, and gave him three golden apples, which added to the campus scenery. In fact, there are now four such Hippomenes was to throw in front of Atalanta during the race. pairs of sculptures on campus. The apples were so desirable it would be impossible for her to resist picking them up, and thus she would lose the race. All this However, the evolution continues even further. In 1997, the came to pass, and when the race was over and won by University purchased a sculpture by Paul Manship of “Atalanta,” Hippomenes, they fell deeply in love and the youth carried off his a figure from Greek mythology. It is an impressive 14-foot tall prize. However, they angered Venus for their failure to thank her. figure of a running woman. It is on the west side of Hofstra As punishment, she turned Hippomenes into a lion and Atalanta Stadium. To complement this figure, in 1998, the University into a lioness. commissioned Gregg Wyatt to sculpt a similarly sized figure of a running man. In this case it was a representation of With this strong identification with lions and the multiple “Hippomenes” who was a central figure in the myth. The myth of meanings of the word pride, our coaches and players, as well as Atalanta and Hippomenes relates closely to Hofstra symbology. the sports media, have begun to use it extensively over the last several years. Our women’s teams especially are more As the myth goes, an Oracle told Atalanta, as a young girl, that comfortable calling themselves The Pride, which is genderless, she must never marry. Thus, Atalanta avoided men and devoted than they are calling themselves The Flying Dutchwomen or the herself to the chase. Soon she could outrun any man. Yet Lady Dutch.
