For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain.

Invocation
National Anthem: The Star-Spangled Banner
Notre Dame Victory March
John T. McGreevy
Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send a volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory.
—Shea-Shea
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Notre Dame, Our Mother (Alma Mater)
America the Beautiful
O Beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain.
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea.

Notre Dame Victory March
Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send a volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory.

Our time at Notre Dame will never be forgotten. We
are grateful for our families that have supported us, faculty
who have inspired us, and friends who have shared with us
some of the most incredible moments of our lives. Through
Senior Legacy we have come to understand the deep
commitment that Notre Dame alumni have made for us
during our time together. There is no better way to express
our gratitude than to join them in supporting future Notre
Dame students.
In expressing our gratitude, Senior Legacy calls upon the
Senior Class to make a three-year pledge to the University.
Whether giving back means joining the Corby Society or
making a smaller pledge, every person can make an impact.
Our goal is to have the entire Senior Class participate,
coming together one last time in remembrance of the
amazing memories we have made at Notre Dame.

SYMBOLS OF OFFICE
THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL
THE UNIVERSITY MACE
The Presidential Medal was introduced at the
inauguration of Notre Dame’s 16th President, the Reverend
Edward A. Malloy, C.S.C. The medal, struck in bronze and
plated in gold, was made by the Medallic Art Company,
Danbury, Connecticut.
The seal of the University forms the center of
the medal and is mounted in relief against a larger cross
representing the Congregation of Holy Cross, the religious
community which founded the University in 1842. In
traditional heraldry, the shield unsupported and central in the
seal is appropriate for an institution of learning. At the base of
the shield are two waves which symbolize the waves of Saint
Mary’s Lake on whose shores the University was founded.
In the upper left, the six-pointed star, considered the perfect
form, signifies “Star of the Sea,” a title accorded the Virgin
Mary for whom Notre Dame is named. A cross symbolizes
Christianity. The open book, emblematic of education, is
inscribed with the Latin words, “Vita, Dulcedo, Spes,” or
“Our life, our sweetness, and our hope.” These words, first
addressed to Our Lady by Saint Bernard, are taken from the
familiar prayer, “Salve Regina,” or “Hail Holy Queen.”
The academic scepter, or mace, was one of the
earliest distinctive signs of medieval university officials.
The mace was originally a wooden staff carried by royal
messengers. The early wooden staff on the university beadle,
a subaltern official, evolved in the 14th century into an
elaborate silver mace. It was carried by the beadle during
processions and graduation ceremonies, and was displayed
as a symbol to command order during classes. In the 15th
century it became symbolic of academic dignity. An essential
part of the mace was the staff or cylindrical rod (tibia),
originally a tube of silver filled with wood or some other base
materials. The staff, divided into several sections, was held
together by a ring-shaped excrescence (nodus). The staff was
crowned with a bell-shaped head (caput); at the base was a
finial (membrum terminale).
The Notre Dame mace was designed and executed
by the late Reverend Anthony Lauck, C.S.C., professor
emeritus of art, art history, and design. The bronze caput
repeats the University seal found on the Presidential Medal,
but brings the star outside the shield where its separate
rendering emphasizes the patronage of the Virgin Mary.
Its shaft is in walnut and the star and the finial bear the
University colors gold and blue.
