Salem, Virginia

DEAR CLASS OF 2020 GRADUATES,

I am absolutely thrilled to welcome you to an in-person graduation ceremony today.

Rescheduling the Class of 2020 graduation last year was heartbreaking for all of us. But we persevered.

When I think back on how Roanoke College fared during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, I recall the tenacity of our students, faculty and staff, which led to many bright spots and positive experiences during an otherwise very bleak, very trying year.

We all remember having to quickly close campus and move to remote learning. We all have personal memories connected to quarantining, social distancing, mask wearing, sanitizing and testing — in the face of a frightening disease about which we knew very little.

I have spoken about past Roanoke College presidents and recounted all they had to endure — from Civil War to World Wars, global economic depression, and pandemics. Through the better part of two centuries, Roanoke celebrated great triumphs and suffered its share of difficulties. These words, from Dr. Mark Miller, professor of history and David F. Bittle College Historian at Roanoke College, are important to remember: “We have endured them all through our steadfast dedication and belief in one another. We emerged stronger every time, and we will again now.”

Here we are celebrating the Class of 2020 — ending on a high note due to the creative, diligent and resilient work of all of you.

Many Maroons helped in our efforts to overcome challenges and contribute positive solutions. For that, I am grateful. The lessons we learned will carry us well in the future.

We will never forget the Class of 2020. Your place in Roanoke College history is established to build upon for the rest of your days.

Congratulations to all of you!

Deep in our hearts, a flame is softly burning. Deep in our thoughts, the mem’ries are returning. Bells that are ringing, choirs that are singing, Bring back the joys that we have known.

Learning to live, and loving as we’re learning. Seeking to find the truths for which we’re yearning. Years come and go, but we’ll always know That dear old Roanoke served us well.

To live once more, here in these hallowed halls. To know once again all the joys that we used to know!

Some day the winter of life will pass before us. Then we’ll remember the place that proudly bore us. Then we’ll remember Alma Mater. Then we’ll remember Thee.

TOM T. HALL

Tom T. Hall is a songwriter, author and musician in Nashville, Tennessee. He was born in Olive Hill, Kentucky and showed a love for music from an early age, composing his first song at age 9. His first band, Kentucky Travelers, performed before movie showings in a traveling theater.

Hall joined the U.S. Army in 1957. While in the Army, he performed on Armed Forces Radio Network and wrote songs about the Army experience. He enrolled at Roanoke College using the G.I. Bill to pursue writing. While at Roanoke, he worked as a disc jockey at a country music station and wrote songs. His compositions gained the attention of music publishers in Nashville. One company, New Keys, encouraged Hall to relocate to Nashville.

His songwriting led to his nickname — “The Storyteller.” Throughout his career, his songs were recorded by dozens of country music artists, including Johnny Cash, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Waylon Jennings, and Alan Jackson. One of his earliest songs, “Harper Valley PTA,” was a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit. The song also inspired a motion picture and TV program of the same name. His song “Hello Vietnam” was a No. 1 hit recorded by Johnnie Wright and later used as the opening theme for the film Full Metal Jacket.

Hall’s own recording career included country music hits “I Love,” “Country Is,” and “I Like Beer.” His song “(Old Dogs, Children and) Watermelon Wine,” was included on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 100 greatest country songs.

Hall won a Grammy Award for Best Album Notes for Tom T. Hall’s Greatest Hits. He has been inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2019, an honor he has said to be his proudest moment and the pinnacle of his career.

Along with his wife, Dixie Hall, an influential songwriter who died in 2015, he won the Bluegrass Song Writer of the Year Award 12 times.

Hall has a son, Dean Hall, who is a singer, musician and songwriter.

Mr. Hall’s time at Roanoke College was short but influential to his life. As his music and writing career progressed, he often includes his time at Roanoke College in interviews about his early career. HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT Doctor of Science

Kivior Ms. Carter E. Smith ACADEMIC REGALIA Ceremonial robes worn in the academic procession during Commencement exercises convey the breadth and intricate structure of the academic world. Colors of diverse institutions and academic fields stand in high relief against the basic black of the caps and gowns. By its color(s), the lining of the hood represents the college or university that is conferring the degree. Note the royal blue and gold of Roanoke College. Gowns themselves are different shapes for bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees. The typical American cap is flat with a tassel draped over its front edge. Some colleges and universities in the United States and abroad use caps that are softly peaked or round and stiff. In addition to traditional regalia, you will see some students at Roanoke’s Commencement ceremony wearing honor cords and graduation stoles. Honor cords consist of colorful twisted cords with tassels on the ends. The cords signify academic achievement or membership in a recognized academic honor group or society. For graduates earning Latin honors, you will see specific solid-color honor cords: gold for summa cum laude, silver for magna cum laude, and white for cum laude. Graduation stoles are decorative vestments worn by members of a college organization. The stoles recognize membership or participation. The cord and stole color and design are specific to a recognized academic honor or group. Hoods also differ in shape for each of the traditional degrees. The edge of the hood and the chevrons and piping of the gown mark the field of study, according to the following scheme:

Agriculture – Maize Medicine – Green Arts, Letters, Humanities – White Music – Pink Commerce, Business – Drab and Sapphire Blue Oratory – Silver Gray Economics – Copper Philosophy – Dark Blue Education – Light Blue Physical Education – Sage Green Engineering – Orange Public Administration – Peacock Blue Fine Arts, Architecture – Brown Science – Golden Yellow Journalism – Crimson Social Work – Citron Law – Purple Theology – Scarlet Library Science – Lemon The Roanoke College Mace The Roanoke mace was presented to the College in 1996 by the four daughters of Hartselle DeBurney Kinsey 1921. The mace is dedicated to Mr. Kinsey, who was devoted to Roanoke College as a student, teacher, advocate and trustee. Maces date back to the Middle Ages, when they were used as weapons. Today, they are primarily symbols of academic authority used at formal convocations and commencement ceremonies. Roanoke College’s mace was designed by Susannah Wagner, a British-trained goldsmith and jeweler in Ashland, Virginia. Also involved in its making were a jeweler, engraver, stonecutter, glass- blower and wood crafter. The mace features a sterling silver headpiece, which is adorned with garnets and engraved symbols representing subjects cherished by Mr. Kinsey, an American walnut baluster (or wooden stem) and a medallion engraved with a replica of the College seal on one side and the symbol of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America on the reverse. A maroon hand-blown glass globe honoring the College colors rests inside the sterling silver cage of the headpiece. The cage features architectural elements from Miller Hall and rests on a base that includes a fleur-de-lis pattern found in wrought ironwork around campus.

The Roanoke College Seal The seal of the College was approved by the Board of Trustees in April of 1964. It features a shield in national blue emblazoned with a mandarin yellow cross, representing Roanoke College’s relationship with the Lutheran Church. The cross symbolizes the Christian values inherent in our culture, and above it is the lamp of knowledge. The white dogwood flower on the shield symbolizes the Commonwealth of Virginia. The motto, “PALMAM QUI MERUIT FERAT,” means “Let him who earns the palm wear it.” The palm is symbolic of the palm leaf that was given in honor of excellence in ancient Greece. Roanoke has a special Snapchat filter for 2020 graduates. It’s only available until midnight on Saturday. The official hashtag for the Roanoke College Class of 2020 is #maroons2020. Go Maroons!
