ALMA MATER HYMN Written by Dr. Frank M. Williams (Please stand and join the Choir in the singing of the Alma Mater.) Roanoke College A Cappella Choir

Dr. Jeffrey R. Sandborg, Director

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. Bowen (The audience will remain standing until the academic procession has departed. All graduates and their guests are invited to enjoy light

Morris M. Cregger ’64

Morris M. Cregger Jr. ’64 is the owner and CEO of Cregger Company, Inc., and of Cregger Capital Investments, Inc.

Mr. Cregger is a native of Roanoke and attended Fork Union Military Academy before earning his bachelor’s degree in economics from Roanoke College, where he was an accomplished student-athlete. He served as president of the Monogram Club while earning varsity letters in basketball, track, soccer and tennis; was selected captain of the Virginia All-State team; was named All-Mason-Dixon Conference all four years in basketball; led the Commonwealth of Virginia in scoring his senior year; and was named Roanoke’s Outstanding Athlete. He was active in Sigma Chi Fraternity and was elected to the Blue Key National Honor Society.

After graduation, Mr. Cregger played in the Eastern Basketball Association and later for the Salem Rebels minor league baseball team. He is a charter member of the Roanoke College Athletic Hall of Fame.

Mr. Cregger has used the lessons he learned from athletics throughout his very successful business career. In 1978, he purchased the plumbing division of Kline Supply Company and founded the Cregger Company, Inc., in West Columbia, South Carolina. In partnership with his wife, Sheila, he has grown the company into one of the top 40 largest distributors of plumbing, electrical and heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning products in North America with 35 locations. Its subsidiary company, Cregger Capital Investments, Inc., has over 60 income-producing properties and holds equity positions in the development of several housing projects.

He is widely recognized throughout the wholesale industry as a leader, consultant and partner in plumbing, electrical and climate control operations. He has served on numerous industry and community boards and associations.

Mr. Cregger is a 1992 Roanoke College Distinguished Alumnus and joined the College’s Board of Trustees in 1999. He served as its chairman from 2011 until his recent retirement in April 2019. During his tenure, the College successfully undertook many ambitious and successful academic, capital, and development projects.

Mr. Cregger and his wife are charter members of the Presidents Society, as well as longtime members of the Society of 1842 and Associates Society. They provided the lead gift for the Morris M. Cregger Center, as they believe that students learn self-discipline and teamwork through athletics.

Sheila S. Cregger

Sheila S. Cregger is the CFO and controller of Cregger Company, Inc., and of Cregger Capital Investments, Inc.

Mrs. Cregger was born in Asheville, North Carolina, and grew up in Orangeburg, South Carolina. She was the 1974 valedictorian of Orangeburg-Wilkinson High School and graduated cum laude from the University of South Carolina in 1978 with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. As a student at the University of South Carolina, Mrs. Cregger was active in the Beta Alpha Psi honors accounting fraternity, serving as treasurer and as representative to the 1977 national convention. She was the first member of her family to attend college.

She played an integral role in helping her husband, Morris, found the Cregger Company in 1978. She has been the CFO and controller since its inception and has been instrumental in its growth as one of the top 40 largest distributors of plumbing, electrical and heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning products in North America. The couple’s other venture, Cregger Capital Investments, Inc., has over 60 income-producing properties and holds equity positions in the development of several housing projects.

Mrs. Cregger is active at both her alma mater and Roanoke College. At the University of South Carolina, she is a current member of the Athletic Director’s Advisory Board, on which she has served for five years. She has been a guest speaker and served on a panel for the Honors College, sharing her insights on career development opportunities and the value of education.

At Roanoke, she has been an active and involved supporter throughout her husband Morris’s tenure on the Board of Trustees and has attended numerous College functions. Mrs. Cregger has made many friends at Roanoke over the years and considers herself an “adopted Roanoke alum.”

On a national level, Mrs. Cregger has chaired the American Supply Association’s scholarship committee, which raises funds and selects recipients of those scholarships.

Mrs. Cregger and her husband have been generous donors at both Roanoke College and the University of South Carolina, making key gifts to endowed scholarships and athletic facilities at both schools—Roanoke’s Cregger Center and USC’s Sheila and Morris Cregger Track Facility and Cregger Athletic Village. She and her husband are charter members of Roanoke’s Presidents Society and longtime members of the Society of 1842 and Associates Society.

ACADEMIC REGALIACeremonial 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 that is conferring the degree.

Note the royal blue and gold of Roanoke College.

Gowns themselves are different shapes for bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees. 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.

In addition to traditional regalia, you will see some students at Roanoke’s Commencement ceremony wearing honor cords and graduation stoles.

Honor cords consist of colorful twisted cords with tassels on the ends. The cords signify academic achievement or membership in a recognized academic honor group or society.

For graduates earning Latin honors, you will see specific solid-color honor cords: gold for summa cum laude, silver for magna cum laude, and white for cum laude.

Graduation stoles are decorative vestments worn by members of a college organization. The stoles recognize membership or participation.

The cord and stole color and design are specific to a recognized academic honor or group.

Hoods also differ in shape for each of the traditional degrees. The edge of the hood and the chevrons and piping of the gown mark the field of study, according to the following scheme:

Agriculture – MaizeArts, Letters, Humanities – WhiteCommerce, Business – Drab and Sapphire BlueEconomics – CopperEducation – Light BlueEngineering – OrangeFine Arts, Architecture – BrownJournalism – CrimsonLaw – PurpleLibrary Science – Lemon

The Roanoke College MaceThe Roanoke mace was presented to the College in 1996 by the four daughters 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 SealThe 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 Commonwealth 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.
