The Roanoke College Mace
The Roanoke mace was presented to the College in 1996 by the family
and friends of Hartselle DeBurney Kinsey ’21. The mace is dedicated to
Mr. Kinsey, who was devoted to Roanoke College as a student, teacher,
advocate and trustee.
Maces date back to the Middle Ages, when they were used as weapons.
Today, they are primarily symbols of academic authority used at formal
convocations and commencement ceremonies.
Roanoke College’s mace was designed by Susannah Wagner, a
British-trained goldsmith and jeweler in Ashland, Virginia. Also
involved in its making were a jeweler, engraver, stonecutter, glassblower and wood crafter. The mace features a sterling silver
headpiece, which is adorned with garnets and engraved symbols
representing subjects cherished by Mr. Kinsey, an American
walnut baluster (or wooden stem) and a medallion engraved
with a replica of the College seal on one side and the symbol of
the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America on the reverse. A maroon hand-blown glass globe honoring the College
colors rests inside the sterling silver cage of the headpiece.
The cage features architectural elements from Miller Hall
and rests on a base that includes a fleur-de-lis pattern
found in wrought ironwork around campus.
The Roanoke College Seal
The seal of the College was redesigned by Guy A. Ritter, Jr., Associate Professor of
Philosophy and Religion Emeritus. It was approved by the Board of
Trustees in April of 1964. It features a shield in national blue
emblazoned with a mandarin yellow cross, representing
Roanoke College’s relationship with the Lutheran Church. The cross symbolizes the Christian values inherent in
our culture, and above it is the lamp of knowledge. The
white dogwood flower on the shield symbolizes the State
of Virginia. The motto, “PALMAM QUI MERUIT
FERAT,” means “Let him who earns the palm wear it.”
The palm is symbolic of the palm leaf that was given in
honor of excellence in ancient Greece.

THE HYMN: “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty”
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise him, for he is your health and salvation!
Let all who hear now to his temple draw near,
Joining in glad adoration!
Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things is wondrously reigning
And, as on wings of an eagle, uplifting, sustaining.
Have you not seen all that is needful has been
Sent by his gracious ordaining?
Praise to the Lord, who will prosper your work and defend you:
Surely his goodness and mercy shall daily attend you.
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do
If with his love he befriend you.
Praise to the Lord! Oh, let all that is in me adore him!
All that has life and breath, come now with praises before him!
Let the amen sound from his people again.
Gladly forever adore him!
Text: Joachim NeAnder, 1650-1680: tr. Catherine Winkworth, 1829-1878, alt.
Tune: Ernewerten Gesaugbuch, Stralsund, 1665
DIALOGUE
Grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ
Whose work alone holds true and endures forever.
Everyone who is thirsty, come to the water. You who have no money,
come, receive bread and eat!
Seek the Lord while he may be found,
call upon him while he is near.
Do not spend your money for that which is not bread, and do not
work for that which does not satisfy.
Seek the Lord while he may be found,
The Lord says, “Incline your ear, and come to me, hear that you might live.”
call upon him while he is near.
For your word alone holds true and endures forever.
LOBE DEN HERREN
Rev. Karen Van Stee, Pastor
St. Mary Lutheran Church
Mt. Jackson, Virginia
THE CREED
God has made us his people through our Baptism into Christ.
Living together in trust and hope, we confess our faith.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sin,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Amen.
THE PRAYER OF THE DAY
Rev. Van Stee
The Lord be with you,
and also with you.
Let us pray…
Amen.
(Please be seated.)
ANTHEM: “My Soul’s Been Anchored In The Lord”
My soul’s been anchored in the Lord. (refrain)
Before I’d stay in hell one day,
I’d sing an’ pray myself away.
Roanoke College Choir
Dr. Jeffrey R. Sandborg, Director
(Refrain)
Goin’ shout an’ pray an’ never stop,
Until I reach the mountaintop.
(Refrain)
Do you love Him? Will you serve Him?
Will you praise Him? Are you anchored?
Yes, I’m anchored.
Lord, I’ll love you. Lord, I’ll serve you.
Lord, I’ll praise you. Hallelujah!
God almighty,
My soul’s been anchored in the Lord.

THE FIRST LESSON: Micah 6: 6-8
Dr. John T. Day, Vice President and Dean of the College
PSALM 23 (read in unison)
Dr. Day
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures and leads me beside still waters.
He revives my soul and guides me along right pathways for his name’s sake.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I shall fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trouble me;
You have anointed my head with oil, and my cup is running over.
Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
THE SECOND LESSON: Philippians 2: 1-13
THE GOSPEL: Matthew 20: 20-28 THE SERMON: “Farther Than The ‘I’ Can See” Dr. Day
Rev. Henrickson
Rev. Henrickson
THE HYMN: “I, the Lord of Sea and Sky”
Here I Am, Lord
I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in deepest sin my hand will save.
I who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send?
Refrain: Here I am, Lord. Is it I Lord? I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord if you lead me. I will hold your people in my heart.
I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have borne my people’s pain,
I have wept for love of them. They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone, give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my word to them. Whom shall I send?
Refrain
I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will tend the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them. My hand will save.
Finest bread I will provide, till their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them. Whom shall I send? Refrain
THE PRAYER
(Please stand.)
Let us pray for the whole people of God in Christ Jesus,
and for all people according to their needs.
Lord, remember us in your kingdom and teach us to pray.
“THE LORD’S PRAYER” (All)
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever.
Amen.
Dan Schutte
Rev. Robert Howard ’79, Pastor
Sardis Lutheran Church
Hickory, NC
THE HYMN: “A Mighty Fortress”
A mighty fortress is our God, a sword and shield victorious;
He breaks the cruel oppressor’s rod and wins salvation glorious.
The old satanic foe has shown to work us woe!
With craft and dreadful might He arms himself to fight
On earth he has no equal.
No strength of ours can match his might! We would be lost, rejected.
But now a champion comes to fight, whom God himself elected.
You ask who this may be? The Lord of hosts is he!
Christ Jesus, mighty Lord, God’s only son adored.
He holds the field victorious.
Though hordes of devils fill the land all threat’ning to devour us,
We tremble not, unmoved we stand; they cannot overpow’r us.
Let this world’s tyrant rage; in battle we’ll engage!
His might is doomed to fail; God’s judgment will prevail!
One little word subdues him.
God’s Word forever shall abide, no thanks to foes, who fear it;
For God himself fights by our side with weapons of the Spirit.
Were they to take our house, goods, honor, child, or spouse,
Though life be wrenched away, they cannot win the day.
The Kingdom’s ours forever!
Text: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; tr: Hymnal Version, 1978 Tune: Martin Luther, 1483-1546

ALMA MATER HYMN
(Please stand and join the Choir in the singing of the Alma Mater.)
Written by Dr. Frank M. Williams
Roanoke College Choir
Dr. Jeffrey R. Sandborg, Director
Deep in our hearts, a flame is softly burning.
Deep in our thoughts, the mem’ries are returning.
Bells that are ringing, choirs that are singing,
Bring back the joys that we have known.
Learning to live, and loving as we’re learning.
Seeking to find the truths for which we’re yearning.
Years come and go, but we’ll always know
That dear old Roanoke served us well.
To live once more, here in these hallowed halls.
To know once again all the joys that we used to know!
Some day the winter of life will pass before us.
Then we’ll remember the place that proudly bore us.
Then we’ll remember Alma Mater.
Then we’ll remember Thee.

Senior Class Gift
for
2007
The Class of 2007 decided to vary the typical class gift project; instead of raising money for a structure on campus, they gave
individual donations either to the College’s Annual Fund or designated gifts to a particular department, sport, etc.
The Annual Fund supports many aspects of the College such as scholarships and financial aid, campus improvements, and
various student programs. The seniors also had the opportunity to give their gift “in honor” or “in memory” of someone who
made their experiences at Roanoke College more special.
Listed below are the seniors who participated in the Class of 2007 gift project:

Ceremonial robes worn in the academic procession during Commencement
Exercises convey the breadth and intricate structure of the academic world.
Colors of diverse institutions and academic fields stand in high relief against
the basic black of the caps and gowns. By its color(s), the lining of the hood
represents the college or university conferring the degree – note the royal blue
and gold of Roanoke College.
Gowns themselves are of different shapes – note especially the sleeves – for
bachelors, masters, and doctors. The typical American cap is flat with a tassel
draped over its front edge; some colleges and universities in the United States
and abroad use caps that are softly peaked or round and stiff.
Hoods also differ in shape for each of the traditional degrees. The edge of the
hood, as well as the chevrons and piping of the gown, mark the field of study,
according the following scheme:
Agriculture — Maize
Arts, Letters, Humanities — White
Commerce, Business — Drab and Sapphire Blue
Economics — Copper
Education — Light Blue
Engineering — Orange
Fine Arts, Architecture — Brown
Journalism — Crimson
Law — Purple
Library Science — Lemon
Medicine — Green
Music — Pink
Oratory — Silver Gray
Philosophy — Dark Blue
Physical Education — Sage Green
Public Administration — Peacock Blue
Science — Golden Yellow
Social Work — Citron
Theology — Scarlet
