WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY Commencement Exercises !ursday, June the Fifth Two !ousand and Eight 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. 2 THE COMMENCEMENT ACADEMIC PROCESSION B INVOCATION W C.
