ALMA MATER

Faithful and devoted be Thy Sons and Daughters forever, Hail to Thee dear Alma Mater, Hail to Thee. All Hail.

Onward ever Longwood, Proud and true eternally, Thy love will always guide and protect and keep them faithful to Thee, Thy love will always guide and protect and keep them faithful to Thee.

by Louard Egbert and Quentin Vest

LONGWOOD UNIVERSITY MACE

SYMBOLIC OF AUTHORITY, a mace is an object carried by officials on ceremonial occasions. The honor of carrying Longwood’s mace is bestowed upon a senior faculty member chosen as chief faculty marshal by the university president. The chief faculty marshal leads the procession of faculty during Convocation, Commencement and other special occasions. The university’s mace acknowledges Longwood’s 2002 designation as a university. The architectural elements employed in the design represent Longwood physically and metaphorically. Specifically, the design recalls the Rotunda, the historic heart of Longwood’s campus. The mace’s fluted shaft recalls the Rotunda’s columns and symbolizes the pillars of knowledge. The cube adorned with the Longwood University Seal, the Seal of the Commonwealth of Virginia and Joan of Arc’s coat of arms represents the university’s mission to inspire leadership in service of the common good. Encased within the cube are objects from the university’s past, including a minié ball that struck the Rotunda during the Civil War as well as a piece of wood that remained when the building burned to the ground in 2001. The top of the mace depicts the Rotunda (rebuilt and rededicated in 2005), which is emblematic of Longwood’s spirit of perseverance. By tradition, a mace is surmounted with an orb, symbolizing the cosmos. Here, the Rotunda dome serves this purpose and also symbolizes Longwood’s role as a sanctuary for learning.

ACADEMIC REGALIA
