Tania Tetlow, J.D. Tania Tetlow is the 17th university president of Loyola University New Orleans. She is the first woman and layperson to lead Loyola since the Society of Jesus founded the university in 1912. Prior to joining Loyola, President Tetlow served as senior vice president and chief of staff as well as the Felder-Fayard Professor of Law at Tulane University, where she was key strategic adviser to the university president. A member of the Tulane Law School faculty since 2005, President Tetlow served as Tulane’s inaugural associate provost for international affairs. She also directed Tulane’s Domestic Violence Law Clinic, raising millions in federal grant funds, advising foreign governments on domestic violence policy, and helping to usher in new antidiscrimination policies at the U.S. Department of Justice. In 2009, she received Tulane’s University Graduate Teaching Award. Before joining academia, President Tetlow was an associate at Phelps Dunbar and served as an assistant United States attorney. Throughout her career, she has served on a variety of nonprofit boards and city commissions, as well as on the British American Project, a bilateral leadership organization for which she also served as U.S. chair. President Tetlow graduated cum laude from Tulane University with a bachelor of arts degree in American studies and is a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School as well as a Harry Truman Fellow. A Catholic and New Orleanian, President Tetlow has deep family ties to the Jesuits and has been a member of the Ignatius Chapel Community at Loyola since she was 6 years old.

Loyola University’s Ceremonial Mace Loyola University’s ceremonial mace is an ornamental mace traditionally carried at the head of academic processions as a symbol of educational authority and institutional identity. Its design and appearance typically resemble a metal torch or cross decorated by carvings including the university seal. The Loyola mace was designed in 1995 by then Department of Visual Arts faculty member Erik Johnson. It is carried as a symbol of authority in processions at commencement and other academic ceremonies. During other times of the year, it is on permanent display in Marquette Hall. The iconography on the mace is derived from the seal of the university as designed in 1929 and stylized in 1970. The arms of the Loyola family consist of two gray wolves suspending a kettle between them. This is seen as a symbol of generosity because it signifies such abundance that after everyone was fed there was always something left in the pot upon which the wolves could feast. The fleur-de-lis represents the French origins of the state and city. The pelican feeding her young with her own blood affiliates Loyola with the state of Louisiana. The wolves, fleur-de-lis, pelican, and bottom termination are of cast bronze. The kettle, with the facade of Marquette Hall in low relief, is cast iron. Overall length is approximately thirty-three inches. The staff is inscribed with the following significant dates in Loyola University New Orleans history: MCMXII — 1912 — chartering of Loyola University; MDCCCXLIX — 1849 — founding of the College of the Immaculate Conception; MDCCCXXXVII — 1837 — founding of St. Charles College; MDCCXXVI — 1726 — arrival of the Society of Jesus in Louisiana; and 2012 — the 100th anniversary of Loyola’s charter.
The President’s Medallion During commencement and other academic ceremonies, a ceremonial medal is worn by the university president. The concept of a president’s medallion is historically significant. In ancient and medieval Europe, such insignia was worn by figures of authority as a means of distinction. The medallion traditionally hangs from the wearer’s neck as a breast plate. Loyola’s President’s Medallion is a gold-tipped reproduction of the university seal, to which two fleursde-lis and a Roman cross have been added. The Roman cross symbolizes Loyola’s Catholic character and is inscribed with the date 1726, the year of the arrival of the Society of Jesus in Louisiana. The two fleurs-de-lis link the medal to its sterling silver chain, emphasizing Loyola’s link and commitment to the French heritage of the city of New Orleans and Louisiana. The right fleur-de-lis is inscribed with the date 1849, which was the year the College of the Immaculate Conception was founded on Baronne Street. St. Charles College and the College of the Immaculate Conception were the predecessors of Loyola College and Loyola University, now Loyola University New Orleans.

The Loyola University New Orleans Seal
The following history of the seal of the university is from Loyola University New Orleans: A compendium of historical information to approximately 1974, Vol. 1,by I.A. Timmreck and Francis L. Janssen, S.J. “Martin Garcia of Onaz and Loyola, the Lord of these two houses and elder brother of Ignatius, says: ‘And whoever shall inherit this, my entailed estate, shall be bound to be called by my surname and ancestry of Onaz and Loyola, and to wear and carry my arms and insignia in camp and wherever he may go. Which said arms of my said house and ancestry of Onaz are seven red bars on a field of gold. And those of the house of Loyola, black pot hangers and two gray wolves with a kettle hung from said pot hangers, which wolves aforesaid hold the kettle between them and are attached on either side with their paws resting on the handles of said kettle; the whole to be placed on a white field, keeping the one and the other apart; those of my said house of Onaz, my entailed estate, at right, as the head of this writing.”’
The coat of arms of the Loyola family at the time of St. Ignatius is well known from a description given by the saint’s elder brother Don Martin. The family was known, as is the custom in Spain, by the paternal and maternal name Onaz y Loyola. The family of Loyola and its arms go back to at least the tenth century, but in 1261, the inheritance was held by a woman, Dona Inez de Loyola, who espoused Don Lepe de Onaz, belonging to a family not less noble than Loyola, and whose estates were not distant from it. The two families thus united preserved their names of Onaz y Loyola and armorial bearing both families. The arms of the Loyola family consisted of two gray wolves with a kettle suspended from black pot hooks, the wolves holding the kettle between them. The wolves and the pot answered the name of the family as “lobo” (Spanish for wolf) and “olla” (Spanish for pot) were united into “Lobo y Olla” (the wolf and the pot) and this contracted into Loyola. A wolf was the device of the Ricos homines— the nobility and the whole design was taken to represent the generosity of the house of Loyola. “For the country people still full of remembrance of Ignatius and his ancestry, relate that this name was given in those feudal times when great lords made war upon one another with a bank of followers, whom they were bound to maintain; and this the family of Loyola used to do with such liberality, that the wolves always found something in the kettle to feast on after the soldiers were supplied.” The house of Onaz was represented by seven red bars on a field of gold. This was a mark of great honor as it was granted to the house of Onaz by the king to wear those seven bands on their shields as a mark of the bravery of seven heroes of the family, who so distinguished themselves in the famous battle of Beotibar in 1321 where 800 Spaniards defeated 70,000 French, Navarrese, and Gascons.
It will be seen as Garcia gives the preference to the family of Onaz, both on account of being the paternal line and of the seven heroes of Beotibar being recorded on its shield by the seven bars. However this may be, it is certain that in the course of time, as the lords of the noble house always occupied the castle of Loyola, that name prevailed and that of Onaz was dropped. The seal, which was adopted by Loyola University in the summer of 1929, revealed the coat of arms of the house of Loyola with the emblem of the Society of Jesus at the top. Above the figures of the wolves appear the fleur-delis, which represents the French origin of our city and state. Beneath it is a pelican feeding the young with her own blood: This depicts Loyola as an institution of the state of Louisiana.

History of Loyola University New Orleans and its Jesuit Tradition In 1904, the long-planned Loyola College, together with a preparatory academy, opened its doors. The first president was the Rev. Albert Biever, S.J. and the college grew steadily. In 1910, the Marquette Association, with the assistance of its ladies’ auxiliary, was responsible for the building of Marquette Hall, queen of Loyola’s buildings and centerpiece of its campus “horseshoe” entrance. Mrs. Louise Thomas donated $51,000 to build the residence for the Jesuits, Thomas Hall.
Loyola University New Orleans is one of 28 Jesuit universities in the United States and the largest Jesuit university in the South. The university’s rich history and its Jesuit influence date to the early 18th century. The Jesuits were among the earliest settlers of New Orleans and Louisiana. A Jesuit chaplain named Paul du Ru accompanied Iberville on his second expedition, and the fathers contributed greatly to the city’s growth and economic development. In 1726, they purchased a tract of land from Gov. Bienville to use as a supply base as they ministered to the needs of the settlers and Native Americans. The tract consisted of most of today’s downtown New Orleans, including the Superdome. When the Jesuit order was suppressed in 1763, the land was sold at public auction.
Progress continued, and in 1911, the Jesuit schools were reorganized. Loyola, which was in the process of becoming a university, took over all of the Immaculate Conception’s college programs. Loyola University New Orleans was chartered on April 15, 1912, with ownership vested in the Loyola Jesuit community. The university was authorized to grant degrees by the General Assembly of Louisiana for the year 1912. Loyola’s chartered date enrollment was 69 students.
It would be over seventy years later, after the Jesuit order was restored, that the Jesuits returned to Louisiana at the invitation of Bishop Antoine Blanc, who later became the first Archbishop of New Orleans. The city’s leaders, including Bienville, had long hoped for a Jesuit college, and in 1837, seven Jesuit priests arrived in New Orleans to establish a boarding college. After considering several sites, they decided on a more rural location in Grand Coteau in St. Landry Parish over yellow fever-ridden New Orleans.
The next few years saw an expansion of programs offered at the university, adding to its core of a broad Jesuit education in the humanities. The New Orleans College of Pharmacy, incorporated in 1900, affiliated with Loyola in 1913 was a strong presence until 1965. In 1914, the School of Law was founded in October with its first dean, the Hon. John St. Paul, judge of the Court of Appeal and later associate justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court. In that same year, the School of Dentistry opened for classes on October 6. The school was phased out between 1968 and 1971, replaced by the new Louisiana State University dental school in the city. These early professional schools had a lasting impact; they offered evening classes and part-time programs, opening up opportunities for working people to continue pursuing their educations.
New Orleans continued its tremendous growth, and the desire to have a Jesuit Catholic college in the town intensified. In 1847, the priests bought a small piece of the land they had owned nearly a century before, and in 1849, the College of the Immaculate Conception opened its doors at the corner of Baronne and Common streets. As the city grew, it became obvious to Rev. John O’Shanahan, S.J., superior of the New Orleans mission, that the downtown location would become too congested for a college. The Cotton Centennial Exposition in 1884 had given impetus to the development of the uptown section of the city, especially around Audubon Park.
In 1919 The New Orleans Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art was founded by Belgian violinist Ernest E. Schuyten, Ph.D. It became an official part of Loyola in 1932, with Schuyten as dean of the College of Music. By 1935, more than 250 students had joined, most of them women.
Father O’Shanahan was offered the entire Foucher estate for $75,000, a tract that included the land now occupied by Loyola and Tulane universities, Sophie Newcomb College, and Audubon Place. However, the Jesuits settled on a smaller parcel that fronted St. Charles Avenue and ran to the Claiborne Canal. It was purchased for $22,500, paid in three installments at six-percent interest.
In 1922, Loyola faculty and students ventured into broadcast media. First, they constructed a 10-watt radio station on the campus and applied to the U.S. Department of Commerce for a license to broadcast. The license was 4
solely to evening, working, and part-time students. It is the foundation for today’s Professional and Continuing Studies programs and recent advances in online education.
granted and the call letters WWL (signifying “World Wide Loyola”) were assigned on March 31. With the advent of television, Loyola expanded its broadcast interests. In 1956, the Federal Communication Commission granted permission for Loyola to develop WWL-TV. The station went on the air one year later. Like WWL-Radio, it emerged as one of the premier broadcasting stations in New Orleans and one of the finest stations in the United States.
In 2018, the university has five colleges: College of Arts and Sciences, College of Music and Fine Arts, College of Business, College of Law, and College of Nursing and Health. 2019 will mark 100 years since the founding of the music and arts conservatory that exists within today’s College of Music and Fine Arts, which has expanded its proud legacy to include music industry studies, popular and commercial music, and urban and electronic music production as well as journalism, communication and design.
In April of 1989, Loyola sold WWL-AM and its sister station WLMG-FM for $12.9 million. That fall, the Board of Trustees and the Members of the Corporation determined that a responsible management of university assets also required the sale of WWL-TV. It was sold in December for $102.85 million, which became part of Loyola’s endowment fund.
Wolf Pack Athletics boasts 18 NAIA teams, and Loyola is an NAIA Five-Star Gold-Level Institution. The university is a Top Producer of Fulbright Students and Scholars in the U.S., a Top Producer of Peace Corps Volunteers, a Top Producer of Teach for America Volunteers, a Best Value School, and leader in service learning, community involvement and community engagement. Our 95-year-old student newspaper, the Maroon, has garnered hundreds of honors, including No. 2 College Media Outlet and a Pacemaker Award, known as the “Pulitzer Prize of College Journalism.” The Princeton Review consistently names Loyola among the nation’s Top 20 for Race/Class Relations, Top 20 for Quality of Life, Top 10 for Best College Newspaper, Best 384 Colleges, and Best Green Colleges. This year, Loyola also proudly enjoys being No. 1 in the nation for Town/Gown Relations.
In addition to its academic growth, Loyola has undergone physical transformation. The change began in 1964 when three buildings were dedicated - Biever Residence Hall, the Joseph A. Danna Student Center, and a central heating and cooling plant. In 1967, Buddig Hall, a 412room residence facility, was built. Two years later, Loyola completed the largest academic structure in its history, the 180,000-square-foot J. Edgar Monroe Memorial Science Building. In 1984, Loyola purchased the 4.2-acre Broadway campus of St. Mary’s Dominican College. The campus is home to historic Greenville Hall, the College of Law, Cabra Residence Hall, the Broadway Activities Center, and St. Mary’s Hall. In 1986, the 115,000-square- foot Communications/Music Complex, home of the Louis J. Roussel Performance Hall, was dedicated. The six-level Recreational Sports Complex was dedicated in February of 1988. The 150,000-square-foot, 550,000-volume-capacity J. Edgar and Louise S. Monroe Library opened its doors in January 1999 and was dedicated in February 1999. A new five-story residence hall, Carrollton Hall, was also completed in 1999. In 2017, Monroe Hall received a $95-million award-winning renovation and redesign.
True to its mission statement, Loyola University New Orleans is a Jesuit and Catholic institution of higher education which welcomes students of diverse backgrounds and prepares them to lead meaningful lives with and for others. Inspired by Ignatius of Loyola’s vision of finding God in all things, the university seeks to prepare tomorrow’s leaders by allowing them to pursue truth, wisdom, and virtue and to work for a more just world. Through teaching, research, creative activities, and service, the faculty, in cooperation with the staff, strives to educate the whole student and to benefit the larger community and the world in which we live.
Loyola City College, a true university college, was established in 1970 as an outgrowth of the Evening Division, which began formally in 1949. Loyola had been offering extension courses in the evening since 1919. City College was for years one of the only university colleges in the nation with a separate faculty and dean dedicated 5

Academic gowns and hats are a custom that dates back to the Middle Ages. Since early European and English universities were founded by the church, students and teachers were required to wear distinctive gowns at all times. Although the custom was brought to this country in colonial days, the requirement for students was soon dropped. The custom for professors was confined to special occasions such as graduation exercises and inaugurations of college and university presidents.

With the increase in the number of educational institutions and the development of new fields of study, confusion arose about the type of gown and the color to denote various degrees. To introduce uniformity and set up a clearinghouse for new disciplines, a commission representing leading American colleges produced The Intercollegiate Code in 1895. In 1932, a national committee of the American Council on Education revised this code into The Academic Costume Code. It was revised in 1959. Although not obligatory, most of the educational institutions in the country follow it in awarding their degrees, earned and honorary. The most significant part of the academic dress is the hood. While there are bachelor’s degree hoods, many institutions reserve the wearing of hoods for graduate degrees. Each successively higher degree carries with it a longer hood. The doctoral hood also has side panels on the back. The color of its velvet border indicates the academic field, and it is lined with the color or colors of the institution granting the degree. Although most doctoral gowns are black with black velvet bars and panels, in some cases the color of the gown is that of the university conferring the degree — blue for Yale, crimson for Harvard, slate for Columbia. All such gowns have black bars and panels. Academic fields may also be indicated by the color of velvet on the doctoral gowns: three two-inch bars on the sleeves and a fiveinch border extending from the back of the neck down the two sides in front. Caps are black. Gowns for bachelor’s and master’s degrees are plain black, but sleeves of the latter are short with trailing “elbows.” Doctoral gowns of European universities are usually very colorful. The caps are often not of the conventional mortarboard shape. Many examples may be seen among Loyola faculty and delegates participating in the inaugural ceremony. Loyola University New Orleans Board of Trustees members are wearing maroon robes.
