Words by Celia Ihrig Grabill/Music by Glenn Grant Grabilk Class of 1900
In a quiet, peaceful village there is one we love so true. She ever gives a welcome to her friends both old and new. She stands serene ’mid tree tops green, She’s our dear Otterbein. CHORUS: Old Otterbein our college, we sing of thee today. Our memories round thee linger in a sweet and mystic way. O Otterbein, we love thee, our hearts are only thine. We pledge anew, we will be true. Dear Otterbein.

Otterbein Colors In 1891, Florence Cronise chaired the “Color Committee� to select school colors. The committee chose tan and cardinal, the colors of the Class of 1893. The May 1891 issue of Otterbein Aegis, the Otterbein newspaper from 1890 to 1917, announced the new colors flew marvelously during the annual field day.
The Mace and Flambeau The mace and flambeau signify the authority of Otterbein, represented by a globe; and the light of learning, represented by a flame. Commissioned by President Kathy A. Krendl in 2014, the pieces were designed and crafted by Professor of Art Donald T. Austin.
The Otterbein Seal The Otterbein seal has remained virtually unchanged since 1926. It contains two of the oldest symbols of learning: the oil lamp and the open book. In almost every religious tradition the lamp is a symbol of enlightenment, of light casting out the darkness. The open book symbolizes education and intelligence. The nine scallops surrounding the seal stand for the three sets of three upon whose work the university rests: Philip William Otterbein, Martin Boehm and John Wesley, the founders of the United Brethren and the Methodist churches; Lewis Davis, William Hanby and Jonathan Dresbach, the three primary founders of Otterbein University; and the Holy Trinity of Christianity.

Frederic Bertley President and CEO of COSI
Frederic Bertley was named president and CEO of COSI (Center of Science and Industry) in Columbus in January 2017. In his role, he imagines COSI as the epicenter for all things scientific for the Columbus community. Prior to joining COSI, Bertley was senior vice president for science and education with the renowned Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, where he directed a diverse portfolio of visionary initiatives supporting innovation in STEM learning and science communication. He oversaw departments and programs that capture the history and legacy of The Franklin Institute, like the prestigious Benjamin Franklin Awards Program, and support research-based projects. He founded and directed the Color of Science, which highlights the incredible contributions of women and persons of color to modern day science and engineering. He also played a critical role in community outreach, partnerships and fundraising practices of the Institute. Bertley has a strong record in academia, studying physiology, mathematics, and the history of science as an undergraduate student. Following his bachelors degree, he obtained a doctorate degree in immunology, both from McGill University, and completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School. After graduating from McGill, Bertley turned his attention to the lack of primary healthcare, preventative medicine, and basic vaccines in developing nations. He managed multinational teams in Haiti, The Sudan, and the Canadian Arctic. He continued this focus by joining a vaccine research group at Harvard Medical School, focusing on the development of DNA vaccines for HIV/AIDS. Bertley has lectured on a variety of science and education topics at universities, colleges, cultural institutions, and government agencies throughout the world. He has been a keynote and invited speaker at several distinguished institutions including the United Nations, White House, US. Department of Interior, National Academy of Sciences, and the National Science Foundation in the US., as well as in Canada, the Caribbean, South America, Europe, and Africa. He sits on numerous boards including Health News Works, iPRAXIS, and the Philadelphia Youth Poetry Movement (PYPM). He also is a member of the selection committee for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Public Engagement with Science Award. Bertley has received numerous honors, including: Dell Inc. Inspire 100 World Changers, Harvard Medical School Deans Service Award, Philadelphia Business Journals 40 Under 40, Philadelphia Business Journal Minority Business Leader of The Year, The Presidents Award (Merck), Citation from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and two Mid-Atlantic, National Academy of Television and Science EMMYs.

Due to publishing time constraints, degrees and honors listed in this program were based upon grades earned through Fall Semester and projected completion of Spring Semester coursework taken on and/ or away from campus. Thus, the commencement program information is not considered official. The degrees and honors listed will actually be conferred only upon those who satisfactorily meet all requirements as stipulated in the Otterbein University Course Catalog. Summa Cum Laude-An undergraduate student who has attained a cumulative grade point average of 3.950 or better is graduated “Summa Cum Laude.” This designation appears on the diploma and permanent transcript record. Magna Cum Laude-An undergraduate student who has attained a cumulative grade point average
of 3.800 to 3.949 is graduated “Magna Cum Laude.” This designation appears on the diploma and permanent transcript record. Cum Laude-An undergraduate student who has attained a cumulative grade point average of 3.600
to 3.799 is graduated “Cum Laude.” This designation appears on the diploma and permanent transcript record. With University LLonors-Honors students were accepted into the Honors Program on the basis of
outstanding academic ability, have completed the sequence of Honors courses, and have written an Honors Thesis. The “With Honors” designation appears on the diploma and permanent transcript record. Honors graduates wear a silver medallion with the academic regalia. With Distinction-An undergraduate student who has satisfactorily completed an approved program of independent study and research, who has submitted a thesis, and has passed written and oral examinations in the field studied, is graduated “With Distinction.” This designation appears on the diploma and permanent transcript record. A student graduating “With Distinction” wears a bronze medallion with the academic regalia. With Departmental LLonors-Ain undergraduate student who has attained a grade point average
of 3.700 or better in all major subject field grades is graduated “With Departmental Honors.” A student graduating “With Departmental Honors” wears a lapel pin with the academic regalia.
A commission appointed in 1959 by the American Council on Education prescribes a code for academic costume that dictates two components of dress: caps and gowns. The first component, dealing with caps, allows the mortarboard or Oxford type cap. Occasionally, the Cambridge model, a soft cap resembling a beret, is worn. Either type is correct as long as it is black and of an appropriate material, except that velvet is reserved for recipients of doctoral degrees. The tassel worn with the cap has three variations. First, it may be black for any degree. Second, it may be in the color of the major field of learning in which the degree was granted. Third, a tassel of gold metallic may be worn by recipients of doctoral degrees and by governing officials of institutions. Some schools make a ceremony of switching the tassel from the right to the left at the moment the degree is awarded as a substitute for individual hooding of candidates. The second main element of academic costume concerns the gown which should be all black, aside from variations in materials and fullness. The bachelor’s gown falls in straight lines from a fairly elaborate yoke. Its distinguishing characteristic is the long, pointed sleeves. A master s gown is distinguished by arc-shaped panels on the long or short sleeves. The doctor’s gown is an elaborate costume marked by velvet panels down the front and around the neck as well as by three bars of the same material on the bell-shaped sleeves. It is cut much fuller than the other gowns and, unlike them, may be ornamented in color. Both the paneling and the sleeve bars may show the area in which the degree was awarded.
