2020 GRADUATION CELEBRATION SATURDAY, MAY 16, 2020 SEAL OF THE COLUMBIAN COLLEGE

In 1819, the Reverend Luther Rice, Obadiah B. Brown, Spencer H. Cone, and Enoch Reynolds (all Baptist ministers) set in motion the reality of a college in the District. These men raised the needed funds to purchase land in the nation’s capital, petitioned the Congress for a charter, and began organizing a college.

On February 9, 1821, President James Monroe signed the Act of Congress which created the College. By design of the Congress, a special provision was included which required that “persons of every religious denomination shall be capable of being elected Trustees; nor shall any person, either as President, Professor, Tutor or pupil, be refused admittance, or denied any of the privileges, immunities, or advantages thereof, for or on account of his sentiments in matters of religion.”

The original seal was designed by James Peale in 1821, at the time of the founding of the Columbian College. This is the seal that the graduates are wearing today as medals. The seal features a Biblical lion lying down with a lamb and Greek text in an open book. The Greek translates to “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God.”

In 1873, the name Columbian College was changed to Columbian University and the seal was changed slightly to reflect this. The Latin text around the outside was changed from “Columbiani Collegii” to “Universitatis Columbianae Sigillim.” In addition, some text was added to fill up the rest of the open book, since the Greek phrase only took up part of one page. In 1905, after the name changed to the George Washington University, the old seal was replaced by a completely new one.

The original Columbian College seal is currently on display in the Memorabilia Room of Gelman Library.

Zach Hollander, a San Francisco native, transferred to GW as a sophomore. In his year between transferring, he worked as a barista at Philz Coffee and at the St. Anthony’s Foundation, a nonprofit in San Francisco that provides services to people experiencing homelessness and poverty in the city. His passion to address the injustice of homelessness across the United States inspired him to volunteer and subsequently serve as a student leader for EngageDC at Miriam’s Kitchen. In working with California State Senator Scott Wiener and Congressman Ro Khanna, he continued his service and advocacy while also helping craft structural policy solutions.

Since coming to GW, he has consistently combined his academic studies with his dedication to service-based work within communities. As a Presidential Fellow for the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress, he examined the historical features of federal low-income housing assistance and how it has fed the country’s homelessness and eviction crises. His philosophy thesis, rooted in his direct service Zachary Hollander, experiences, explored the dehumanization of people experiencing homelessness and B.A. ’20 the need for political action to overcome a solvable injustice. Through classes and 2020 Distinguished Scholar professors in both the Political Science Department and the Philosophy Department, he has been able to attain higher levels of insight into the complex factors underlying inequality and poverty in the United States and around the world. And lastly, he still loves to laugh, appreciate art, and find joy and goodness in the world: since coming to GW, he has been a member of an improv comedy group on campus.

This fall, Mr. Hollander will continue his examination of housing policy, poverty, and inequality at the University of Oxford where he will study for an MSc in Comparative Social Policy.

He would not be where he is without community. Words cannot adequately capture how grateful he is for all the friends, family, colleagues, professors, and advisors who have challenged, supported, listened to, and encouraged him.

26 | GRADUATION CELEBRATION 2020 NATIONAL COUNCIL LETTER

Dear Graduate:

On behalf of the Columbian College National Council for the Arts and Sciences, I offer my congratulations on your significant achievement and welcome you to the George Washington University alumni community.

As an alumnus of this great institution, I can fully appreciate the excitement of this very special moment in your lives. You are now a member of a select group of accomplished individuals, bonded by a college for which you will forever be proudly associated. I encourage you to remain involved in the life of the university and become engaged in activities of interest to you. The opportunities to make a difference are endless—from becoming an active member in the Alumni Association and organizing regional and local alumni events, to mentoring a student, offering services as a career Benjamin Klubes, advisor or guest lecturer, and providing philanthropic support. Esq., B.A. ’87 My work as a volunteer in the National Council—which is comprised of alumni, parents, and friends who advise the Dean of the Columbian College—has been an incredibly rewarding experience for me. I hope you find similar avenues of engagement and have a role in advancing GW’s promise and potential.

Finally, we recognize your time here has required a high level of personal dedication and financial commitment. We are grateful for your investment and hopeful that your degree will lay the groundwork for future success in whatever career you choose to pursue.
