The Alma Mater Hail, hail to thee, our Mother Fair, Westminster, Thy sons and daughters thee with homage greet; While rings our song within thy sacred portals, Fresh wreaths we twine and lay them at thy feet. Long may she live, our Mother Fair, Westminster! Fling to the breeze her banner White and Blue! Halls of our youth, by happy mem’ries hallowed, Our Alma Mater, glorious, grand and true! ~ Morgan Barnes (alt.)

Academic Heraldry The caps, gowns, and hoods worn today are patterned after the attire of monks and students in the Middle Ages. The bachelor’s degree gown is distinguished by the long pleated front, intricate shirring across the shoulders and back, and long pointed sleeves. The master’s degree gown is similar but is different in the oblong, hanging sleeves. Those who hold the doctor’s degree wear a gown featuring broad velvet panels down the front and three velvet bars on each sleeve. This velvet trimming may be either black or the distinctive color of the field of learning represented by the degree. Black is the traditional color of the gowns. However, many faculty who hold doctorates wear gowns distinguished by the primary color or colors of the institutions which awarded the degrees. The caps worn are of many different types. There is the traditional “mortarboard,” the soft “beret” type, and the “Florentine” style. The hood is probably the most distinct feature of the costumes being worn. The size of the hood varies according to the level of the degree held. The bachelor’s is the smallest, the master’s is somewhat larger, and the doctor’s the largest of the three. The inner silk lining of the hood symbolizes the colors of the institution which conferred the degree. The outer velvet border of the hood signifies the field of learning to which the degree pertains, such as the following: Arts, Letters, Humanities – White Business, Accounting – Olive Green Economics – Copper Education – Light Blue Fine Arts – Brown Law – Purple Library Science – Lemon Yellow
Medicine – Dark Green Music – Pink Philosophy – Dark Blue Physical Education – Sage Green Science – Golden Yellow Speech – Silver Gray Theology – Scarlet Red
Westminster College Mace The Westminster College mace was hand crafted in 1995 by Mr. William C. Miller of New Wilmington, Pennsylvania. Mr. Miller, a master craftsman, made the thirtyfour-inch mace out of black walnut wood, taken from a tree cut near the College, and brass. Considerable lathe work and hand carving was required to obtain the elaborate shape and original designs in the wood, as well as the turning of brass for decorative ornamentation. The headpiece of the mace is adorned with four medals, two bearing the image of the Westminster College medallion and two bearing the image of the Westminster College seal. The mace was given to Westminster College by James G. James Jr. ’78 and Mary Cooley James ’84, and is permanently on display in the Office of Academic Affairs in Old Main.
