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.

John D. McAfee ’67
John David McAfee was born in England and raised in the Roanoke Valley, where he graduated from Northside High School. He majored in mathematics at Roanoke College and graduated with a bachelor of science in 1967.
Mr. McAfee once stated that his years at Roanoke instilled in him a “love of learning” and cited his liberal arts background as the foundation of his ability to adapt to changing technology. And he has adapted well. Although his Roanoke education did not include computer science classes, he certainly learned the skills necessary to succeed in this field.
Mr. McAfee’s career includes work in computer technology and management for many of the world’s leading corporations, including General Electric, Univac,
Lockheed Martin, Xerox, Siemens and IBM. In between working for those companies, Mr. McAfee traveled the world and lived for extended periods in Brazil, Germany, England, Mexico, India and Hong Kong.
In 1981, he founded Interpath Inc., which developed the world’s first voice recognition system. In 1988, he started McAfee, Inc., which developed the world’s first computer virus scanner. He sold that company several years later, but McAfee, Inc. still exists as one of the foremost providers of computer security and protection. In 1996, he started Tribal Voice, Inc. and developed the world’s first instant messaging program. Mr. McAfee now lives in New Mexico and Belize and is developing technology programs for third-world countries.
Aside from his work in technology, Mr. McAfee is known for other passions as well. He founded the Relational Yoga Mandiram in Colorado, and he is the author of two yoga books, Into the Heart of Truth: The Spirit of Relational Yoga and The Secret of the Yamas: A Spiritual Guide to Yoga.
His latest passion is an adventure into the new field of aerotrekking. Mr. McAfee founded a group called “Sky Gypsies” and has been developing a network of aerotrekking bases in Arizona and New Mexico. Aerotrekking involves low-altitude flight in a small ultralight plane that has been described as a “winged tricycle.”
Roanoke College is honoring Mr. McAfee for his distinguished contribution to the emerging technological world in which we live. His innovations have changed the world — and in many ways yet unknown. The breadth and depth of his interests make him an exemplar of the basic values of Roanoke College.

senior Class 2008 CamPaignThe Senior Class of 2008 wanted to make a difference, leave a legacy and help the ’Noke experience live on.
Students chose to do this through the Senior Class Endowed Scholarship because they knew that it would support one of their own – a fellow Maroon. Funds from the Senior Class Endowed Scholarship will be awarded to a rising senior with financial need. 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 Senior Class 2008 Campaign:

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.

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, glass- blower 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.
