The Bell
The bell used in the commencement ceremony today is
replica of the Liberty Bell. It was first rung in the fall of 1970
inaugurate the senior college status of Gardner-Webb. The bell
rung to signify the opening and closing of the academic year and
mark formal academic occasions.

Made at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, London, the bell
commemorates the Bicentenary of American independence. The bell
is to the scale of one-fifth the original Liberty Bell, ordered from the
Whitechapel Foundry by the Province of Pennsylvania in 1752, and
was cast on the same site. The bell weighs forty-four pounds and
stands fifteen inches high.
The Mace
The mace, originally a weapon of defense, has in modern
times become a symbol of authority, dignity and privilege. English
universities have used maces in academic processions for many
centuries. Gardner-Webb’s mace, used for the first time at the
installation of A. Frank Bonner as the University’s 12th president last
month, will be a part of all future academic processions.
Carved from dark mahogany wood and standing 42” tall, the
mace features rich aspects of Gardner-Webb’s history and mission
through architectural carvings, Christian symbols, the official seal and
the declaration of the University’s motto, “Pro Deo et Humanitate”
(For God and Humanity). It is also marked by a series of polished
silver bands highlighting pivotal points in Gardner-Webb’s history and
includes a list of the institution’s principals and presidents.
The mace was designed and produced by Image Marketing Group of Shelby, NC.
The Medallion
A commemorative medallion, signifying Dr. A. Frank Bonner’s
first spring commencement as the president of Gardner-Webb
University, will be worn at today’s ceremonies by all candidates for
graduation and by all faculty and staff. The medallion, sporting the
Gardner-Webb seal and motto, along with the institution’s founding date
of 1905, was cast specifically for this historic occasion and will be worn
by all participants in future commencement exercises.
A Brief History of Gardner-Webb
On December 2, 1905 the Boiling Springs High School was chartered as a result of an
initiative sponsored by the Kings Mountain Baptist Association (Cleveland County) and the Sandy
Run Baptist Association (Rutherford County). Three years later, the first campus structure, the
Huggins-Curtis building, was completed.
In 1928 in response to the changing educational needs of the area, the institution was
transformed into the Boiling Springs Junior College. The Great Depression created many
obstacles for the College, but its survival was secured by the sacrifices of many loyal supporters.
One such instance occurred in 1932 when the school contracted with teachers to run the College
on the condition that the teachers pay all expenses for food, books, supplies, heat, water, and
lights and then accept for their own pay what was left from fees and gifts. There were at least
two occasions in the 1930's when trustees made motions to close the school. The proposals
failed (once by a single vote) and college survived.
Shortly thereafter, North Carolina Governor, O. Max Gardner, began devoting his energy
time, and wealth to strengthening and guiding the college. On June 15, 1942 the trustees voted
to change the name to Gardner-Webb Junior College in honor of Gardner and his wife, Faye
Webb-Gardner.
During the following year, the institution embarked on a $300,000 financial
campaign. At the conclusion of this initiative, the trustees announced that the school was debtfree.
Enrollment stood at 1300 when Gardner-Webb was granted senior college status in 1969.
In 1971, the first graduates of Gardner-Webb Senior College received their Bachelor’s degrees.
During this same year, the Christian Service Organization was established to provide scholarships
to students preparing for ministry.
The institution became a pioneer in distance learning in 1978 with the establishment of the
GOAL (Greater Opportunity for Adult Learners) Program. In 1980, the first Master’s Degree
program was offered—a Master’s of Arts in Education with concentrations in early childhood,
middle school, and physical education.
In 1991, Gardner-Webb was recognized by the John Templeton Foundation as a character
building school. The School of Divinity was established in 1992, with the initial group of students
enrolling in Spring 1993. Two other significant events occurred during 1993—the school changed
its name to Gardner-Webb University and the Master of Business Administration program began
in earnest.
The University began offering its first doctoral program in 2001—the first graduates with
the Doctor of Ministries degree received their diplomas at the May 2004 commencement
ceremonies.
A second doctoral degree program, the EdD in Educational Leadership, was added
in 2004.
The Purpose of Gardner-Webb
Gardner-Webb, a private Christian, Baptist-related University, provides superior
undergraduate and graduate education strongly grounded in the liberal arts. By fostering
meaningful intellectual thought, critical analysis and spiritual challenge within a diverse
community of learning, Gardner-Webb prepares its graduates to make significant
contributions for God and humanity in an ever-changing global community.
Academic Regalia
Academic regalia, as we know it, traces its origins to the Middle Ages, first to the Church and
later to the guilds. The apparel is little changed in design, colors and symbolism. The earlier forms of
caps, gowns, and hoods served not only to declare the wearer’s rank and station, but also to provide
warmth in cold, drafty halls.
Since 1895, most colleges and universities in the United States have subscribed to a uniform
code of academic dress designed to show the various degrees, the courses of study and the
institutions conferring the degrees.
Gowns - usually black; the distinguishing mark is the sleeve:
Bachelor – a long, pointed sleeve
Master – an oblong sleeve open at the wrist
Doctor – a bell-shaped sleeve with three velvet bars.
Hoods – lined with silk in colors identifying the institution granting the degree. The color of the
velvet edging indicates the discipline in which the degree was earned:

Commerce, Accountancy, Business

Mortarboard and Tassel – the black mortarboard may be worn with each type of gown. Those
holding doctoral degrees may wear gold tassels; others usually wear black. Some colleges and
universities prescribe velvet tams with gold tassels for those with doctorates.

Our love, our Faith, Eternally.
