The Academic Dress<br />
Modern American academic dress follows a custom that preserves many <strong>of</strong> the features that originated in the<br />
Middle Ages, when cap, gown, tunic and hood were ordinary clothing for men <strong>of</strong> all ranks, inside and outside the<br />
universities. The people <strong>of</strong> the Middle Ages associated particular styles <strong>of</strong> gowns and hoods with scholars <strong>of</strong> varying<br />
degrees <strong>of</strong> prestige.<br />
President Lindgren’s black woolen gown with purple velvet chevrons and panels is the juris doctor gown <strong>of</strong> the<br />
University <strong>of</strong> Florida.<br />
The velvet bindings seen in various colors on the hoods worn in <strong>Randolph</strong>-<strong>Macon</strong>’s academic procession<br />

The Simpson Mace<br />
The Simpson Mace is a symbol <strong>of</strong> academic authority at <strong>Randolph</strong>-<strong>Macon</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Dr. W. Schuyler Miller<br />
carried it for the first time on September 16, 1988, as the faculty processed to the fall convocation and dedication<br />
ceremony for the McGraw-Page Library.<br />
Dr. and Mrs. Grellet C. Simpson presented the mace in honor <strong>of</strong> Dr. Thomas McNider Simpson, Jr., Class <strong>of</strong><br />
1901, a <strong>Randolph</strong>-<strong>Macon</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> mathematics and dean <strong>of</strong> the faculty, and the sixteen members <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Simpson family who attended the college between 1894 and 1984. Grellet Simpson, a member <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Randolph</strong>-<br />
<strong>Macon</strong> <strong>College</strong> Class <strong>of</strong> 1930, was a pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> English and dean <strong>of</strong> the faculty at his alma mater.<br />
The Presidential Medallion<br />
Susannah Wagner, a registered British silversmith <strong>of</strong> Ashland, Virginia, created the Presidential Medallion in<br />
1998 using a silver representation <strong>of</strong> the college’s seal created by the Franklin Mint. The chain and frame around<br />
the seal are silver; the oak and maple leaf insets within the chain are gold. The medallion, which symbolizes the<br />
<strong>of</strong>fice <strong>of</strong> the president, was a gift to the college from Mr. and Mrs. John B. Werner <strong>of</strong> Richmond, Virginia.<br />
Mr. Werner is a member <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Randolph</strong>-<strong>Macon</strong> Class <strong>of</strong> 1953.<br />
The <strong>College</strong> Seal<br />
The <strong>of</strong>ficial college seal depicts <strong>Randolph</strong>-<strong>Macon</strong>’s first building, a four-story brick structure built in 1832,<br />
which still stands today on the school’s original campus in Boydton, Virginia. Encircling this image are the words<br />
Sigillum Collegi <strong>Randolph</strong>-<strong>Macon</strong>ensis in Virginia—“Seal <strong>of</strong> <strong>Randolph</strong>-<strong>Macon</strong> <strong>College</strong> in Virginia.” The seal<br />
appears on all <strong>Randolph</strong>-<strong>Macon</strong> <strong>College</strong> diplomas and other <strong>of</strong>ficial documents <strong>of</strong> the college.<br />
Honors Program Medals<br />
The medals worn by graduates <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Randolph</strong>-<strong>Macon</strong> <strong>College</strong> Honors Program consist <strong>of</strong> a pewter medal on<br />
a black ribbon. The medal has the college seal in the center and “Honors Program Graduate” in the perimeter.<br />
The United States Flag<br />
The United States flag located on the Commencement stage was flown over the United States Capitol on<br />
February 3, 2003, at the request <strong>of</strong> the Honorable John Warner, United States Senator, in recognition <strong>of</strong> the<br />
anniversary <strong>of</strong> the founding <strong>of</strong> <strong>Randolph</strong>-<strong>Macon</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />

<strong>Randolph</strong>-<strong>Macon</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
By the 1820s, clergy <strong>of</strong> the Virginia Conference <strong>of</strong> the Methodist Church had recognized a need to educate<br />
prospective clergymen in the fields <strong>of</strong> English, history and geography, so they could pass required examinations<br />
for entrance into the ministry. This growing need, coupled with the rise <strong>of</strong> more cities with more learned<br />
congregations, called for the establishment <strong>of</strong> a liberal arts college where prospective ministers could study and<br />
learn the art <strong>of</strong> communication with urban townspeople.<br />
In 1830, the Virginia legislature approved a charter for <strong>Randolph</strong>-<strong>Macon</strong> <strong>College</strong>, which would be located<br />
in Boydton, Virginia, near the border <strong>of</strong> North Carolina. The names <strong>of</strong> John <strong>Randolph</strong>, a Virginia statesman, and<br />
Nathaniel <strong>Macon</strong>, a North Carolina statesman, were given to the college to dispel the notion that the school was<br />
to be only a sectarian one. Neither man was Methodist.<br />
The college was moved to Ashland, Virginia, in 1868 after the railroads to Boydton were destroyed during<br />
the Civil War. The move to Ashland challenged the college’s spirit and stimulated new growth. The students<br />
themselves raised most <strong>of</strong> the funds for the first major building constructed on the “new” campus — Washington<br />
and Franklin Hall, a national historic landmark that was completely renovated in 1987.<br />
Today, <strong>Randolph</strong>-<strong>Macon</strong> <strong>College</strong>, the oldest Methodist college in continuous operation in the United States,<br />
still remains true to its mission <strong>of</strong> “developing the minds and character <strong>of</strong> its students” through a combination <strong>of</strong><br />
personal interaction and academic rigor. The student-faculty ratio is 11:1 and the average class size is 15<br />
students. The college has grown to more than 60 major buildings on 116 acres, <strong>of</strong>fers 29 majors and has an<br />
enrollment <strong>of</strong> more than 1,100 students.<br />
<strong>Randolph</strong>-<strong>Macon</strong> has an outstanding national reputation for its “Peaks <strong>of</strong> Excellence” to include internships,<br />
study abroad and undergraduate research opportunities, and also <strong>of</strong>fers a wealth <strong>of</strong> social and athletic programs<br />
to its students. The college’s successful First-Year Experience program partners two pr<strong>of</strong>essors from different<br />
disciplines who then collaborate to present a two-semester colloquium to students, providing them with a cross<br />
disciplinary view <strong>of</strong> a selected topic. January term provides students the opportunity to concentrate on one<br />
course, study abroad, do undergraduate research or gain valuable career experience through an internship. The<br />
college also is dedicated to providing a variety <strong>of</strong> financial aid options to include scholarships, which make a<br />
<strong>Randolph</strong>-<strong>Macon</strong> <strong>College</strong> education affordable for all students.<br />
<strong>Randolph</strong>-<strong>Macon</strong>, a Phi Beta Kappa college, is ranked as one <strong>of</strong> the nation’s top liberal arts and sciences<br />
colleges by U. S. News and World Report and is listed as one <strong>of</strong> the Princeton Review’s Best 361 <strong>College</strong>s.<br />

2007 Senior Class Gift<br />
This year, the class <strong>of</strong> 2007 felt a strong desire to give back to the college in a tangible way that would<br />
improve the aesthetics <strong>of</strong> the campus. As the first class that will graduate on the Frank E. Brown Fountain Plaza,<br />
it seemed fitting that this area be the focal point <strong>of</strong> this gift. In order to make the contributions lasting, the class<br />
board elected to set up this gift as a fund, which they hope will eventually be endowed, to finance beautification<br />
and maintenance <strong>of</strong> the Fountain Plaza. The campaign, titled “The Fountain Fund,” has already brought in<br />
overwhelming initial contributions. In addition to the fund, the class has purchased an enforced bench, placed in<br />
the circle <strong>of</strong> benches surrounding the fountain, with the title <strong>of</strong> the campaign and class year displayed on the seat<br />
in metallic lettering. It is the desire <strong>of</strong> the class board that this fund will eventually have enough contributions<br />
made to it to reach endowment level, and will mature to finance the refurbishment <strong>of</strong> the fountain basin.<br />
Listed below are those students who gave $20.07 or more to The Fountain Fund.<br />
