THE CAMPUS LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA

1 THE UNIVERSITY COAT-OF-ARMS AND BANNERS

In 1890, at the request of Leslie Lyle Campbell, Class of 1887, Professor W. G. Brown designed a white silk banner bearing the words Washington and Lee University embroidered in gold letters on a blue scroll. Below the scroll was a composite shield made up of heraldic elements from the coats-of-arms of the Washington family and the Lee family. !e shield has survived the years, but the original banner has not. Before 1903, Professor Brown designed a full coat-of-arms with crest and motto. !e black raven rising out of the golden ducal coronet comes from the Washington crest. !e upper left quarter of the arms depicts an open book with an injunction from I !essalonians to “test all things.” !e upper right quarter exhibits the arms of Washington of Sulgrave, and the lower left quarter the arms of Lee of Coton. !e arms in the lower right quarter are those of Astley of Staﬀordshire, and signify a marriage between the Lee and the Astley families. !e motto, non incautus futuri, based on a phrase from Horace’s Satires and translated “not unmindful of the future,” comes from the Lee family arms. In 1998, in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the University, David D. Brown, Law School Class of 2000, designed four banners that draw upon the original heraldic design of 1890. !e new University banner is a revised version of the design by Professor W. G. Brown. !e banners for the College, the Ernest Williams II School of Commerce, Economics, and Politics, and the School of Law derive their separate designs from the University banner.

THE UNIVERSITY MACE

A mace is a ceremonial staff and a symbol of authority. !e mace is carried by the Marshal to denote that the University is in session. It was designed in 1951 by Marion Junkin, Class of 1927 and Head of the Department of Fine Arts, and carved by Mary Barclay, a member of the staff of the Alumni Office, from a 150-year-old walnut beam taken from the old Lexington firehouse. !e University coat-of-arms is carved on opposite sides of the urn-shaped head and painted silver, blue, red, and gold. Below the arms are the scroll and the motto. Atop the mace are the coronet and raven from the University crest.

ACADEMIC COSTUME

In the procession of the Faculty, guests will see a variety of academic costumes. !e design of the gowns has evolved over centuries from medieval origins. Most of the regalia seen today represent the Doctor of Philosophy degree. Traditionally, the doctoral gown is black, has full sleeves gathered at the wrists, velvet bars on the sleeves and velvet panels on the front. !e colors on the hood, which is worn around the shoulders, designate both the academic discipline of the degree earned by the wearer and the university that awarded it. !e gold tassel on the hat is another sign that the wearer holds a doctoral degree. Over the years some universities have adopted gowns in colors that complement their hoods.

THE FLAGS

!e international ﬂags on display represent the graduates from Bolivia, Bulgaria, Canada, Ecuador, Ghana, Hong Kong, India, Kyrgysztan, Panama, Poland, Romania, Serbia, South Africa, South Korea, !ailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States of America. !e University is grateful to the family of Douglas Panzer, Class of 1998 and Class of 1999, for its generosity in providing the ﬂags.

35 ARRANGEMENTS ON W&L’S COLONNADE

FIRST AID: !e Student Health staﬀ is available in the lobby of Washington Hall at each ceremony to assist those who need ﬁrst aid. !ey are also able to contact a local rescue squad in case of an emergency.

PHOTOGRAPHS: A “Class of 2008” banner has been set up on the Colonnade for individuals, families, and other groups who may want a “photo op.” !ere are locations near the line-up area and along the procession route that might offer other opportunities for photographs. Amateur photographers are asked to respect others, including the professional photographers. An area near the stage is reserved for guests who want to take pictures of graduates receiving their diplomas. Space and line-of-sight limitations prevent us from accommodating video tripods near the stage during the ceremony. Families or friends of graduates from the Williams School (BS or BA degrees) may find the best vantage point is left of the stage facing the chapel; those of graduates receiving BA or BS degrees from the College may find the best spot is right of the stage facing the chapel. Photographs may also be viewed and purchased online at photostore.wlu.edu.

REST ROOMS: Rest rooms for guests are available inside the main lobby of Washington Hall, the central building on the Colonnade and at adjacent buildings.

SAFETY: Members of the Public Safety staﬀ are in uniform and scattered about the campus during the ceremonies. If you have questions or need assistance, please feel free to seek them out. You may reach a member of the public safety staﬀ at 540.458.8999.

WATER: !e University provides complimentary water stations to the sides and rear of the seating area. Faculty and graduates also have bottled water at their seats.
