Niswonger Executive Chairman of Landair Transport, Inc. and Chairman Emeritus of Forward Air Corporation Scott Niswonger was born in Van Wert, Ohio, where he learned to fly, soloing on his 16th birthday. During his aviation career, he has flown everything from J-3 Cubs to the Boeing 747. He currently enjoys flying his Gulfstream IV and his aerobatic Navy T-34 trainer. He is a graduate from Purdue University with a degree in Aviation Technology and was awarded a Doctorate of Technology in 2004. In addition, Mr. Niswonger earned a BSBA from Tusculum College in 1986 and later was honored with a Doctorate of Human Letters in 2006. After graduation from Purdue University, Mr. Niswonger moved to Greeneville, Tennessee, as the corporate pilot for the president of the Magnavox Company. In 1973, Niswonger started a cargo airline, General Aviation, Inc. After selling that company, he became the Vice President of North American Operations for Flying Tiger Lines – a military contractor and global cargo airline. He later co-founded a second transportation company, Landair Services, with an initial investment of $2,000, and in 1990 formed Forward Air Corporation. Those companies today have annual sales of over $1 billion. It’s impressive to note that he founded the first two companies to ever be taken public in Greene County’s 233-year history. Niswonger currently serves as Executive Chairman of Landair Transport, Inc. and Chairman Emeritus of Forward Air Corporation. He is a member of the Executive Committee and board of directors of First Horizon National Corporation (NYSE: FHN), the parent of First Tennessee Bank, a $26 billion financial services company. He is especially proud of The Niswonger Educational Foundation that he established in 2001 to create opportunities for individuals and regional growth through educational programs, scholarships, and other charitable activities. This educational operating foundation currently has 20 scholars in universities across the United States and 57 alumni. The Foundation has an annual program budget of more than $5 million and has invested more than $43 million in our region. Niswonger is the lead benefactor for the Niswonger Children’s Hospital, which is home to one of only six St. Jude Affiliate Clinics in the world. With an exceptional level of involvement, businessman and philanthropist Scott Niswonger has made a positive impact for those who will follow.

48 ACADEMIC REGALIA

The three academic degrees generally recognized are the bachelor’s, the master’s and the doctor’s. The name of each degree seems to have been determined by medieval university custom. The bachelor’s degree, the baccalaureate, takes its name directly from the medieval practice of “bachelors” wearing a garland of bayberries. The master’s degree was equivalent to a license to teach, and sometimes was followed by the express words Licentia Docendi. The doctor’s degree was originally a title of respect and a recognition of great learning. Today the doctor’s degree indicates advanced study and independent research in a specialized field of learning, whereas honorary degrees are granted for meritorious service and for distinction in public or private endeavor. In the medieval university, students and teachers wore gowns indicating their status and scholastic achievement. In 1895, an intercollegiate commission drafted a uniform code for the use of academic caps, gowns and hoods in the United States. This code is followed by approximately 95 percent of all colleges and universities. In 1932 and 1935 the American Council on Education reviewed and refined the American academic costume. Those holding a bachelor’s degree traditionally wear a gown of worsted material, fas- tened at the top, and distinguished by long pointed sleeves hanging nearly to the knees. The master’s gown, worn open, is made either of worsted or silk, and has long closed sleeves with an arc appearing near the bottom and a slit for the arm near the middle of the sleeves. The doctor’s gown, also worn open, is made of silk, faced with a broad strip of velvet, and has three bars of velvet on each sleeve. A hood may be worn with the gown and is made of the same material. The master’s hood is three and one-half feet long, faced with a three-inch strip of velvet; the doctor’s hood is four feet long, faced with a five-inch strip of velvet.

Those holding a doctor’s degree may wear a soft velvet cap of the color indicating their field of study, or with the “mortarboard” may wear a tassel in whole or in part of gold thread.

The Presidential Medallion The presidential medallion is the traditional symbol of office worn at official functions. The design features a torch symbolizing learning; a wreath, symbol of victory, while the star ruby symbolizes excellence. The Mace The East Tennessee State University mace is an organic design in forged silver with an ebony handle. The form gives a circular impression, referring to the medieval concept of a heavy armor-breaking club yet losing its warlike appearance by becoming less solid and a more decorative symbol of the university as it encompasses global thinking. A central staff radiates the thrust of the rhythmical branches of the tree of knowledge; the heavier branches representing the well-established disciplines and the more delicate ones the beginnings and growth of the new. The Flag The flag of East Tennessee State University is of simple conception, yet representative of the rich heritage of the area and the aspirations of the university.

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

In thy halls we formed our friendships, Dear old college home; And to thee we pledge our hearts, Wherever we may roam, Sound the chorus, speed it onward; Thee we’ll never fail! Hail to thee, our Alma Mater— Hail to thee, all hail!
