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!

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!

ALMA MATER HYMN Written by Dr. Frank M. Williams Roanoke College Choir Dr. Jeffrey R. Sandborg, Director(Please stand and join the Choir in the singing of the Alma Mater.)

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.

THE BENEDICTION Rev. Henrickson (The audience will remain standing until the academic procession has departed. All graduates and their guests are invited

senior class gift for 2007The 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.

Academic Regalia

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

Many of our graduating seniors today wear medallions, cords, and/or stoles.These represent and celebrate a student's special cultural

heritage or membership in an academic honor society.
