National Anthem: e Star-Spangled Banner
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous ght,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our ag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send a volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory.

For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain.

Notre Dame, Our Mother (Alma Mater)
Notre Dame, Our Mother, tender, strong and true

Notre Dame Victory March
Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send a volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory.

Our time at Notre Dame will never be forgotten.
e Senior Legacy is a two-part campaign involving
the Senior Class. Most importantly, it is an eort
to create an appreciation for the signicant role
alumni support plays in making our experiences at
Notre Dame possible. About 40,000 alumni give
back to the University every year, not merely because
of personal relationships, but because they want to
ensure that future generations of students will share
in the same great Notre Dame experience.
In expressing our gratitude, the Senior Legacy calls
upon the Senior Class to make a three-year pledge to
the University. Whether giving back means joining
the Corby Society or making a smaller pledge, every
person can make an impact. Our goal is to have the
entire Senior Class participate, coming together one
last time in remembrance of the amazing memories
we have made at Notre Dame.
CONTINUE THE TRADITION

SYMBOLS OF OFFICE
THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL
e Presidential Medal was introduced at the
inauguration of Notre Dame’s 16th President, the Reverend
Edward A. Malloy, C.S.C. e medal, struck in bronze and
plated in gold, was made by the Medallic Art Company,
Danbury, Connecticut.
e seal of the University forms the center of
the medal and is mounted in relief against a larger cross
representing the Congregation of Holy Cross, the religious
community which founded the University in 1842. In
traditional heraldry, the shield unsupported and central in the
seal is appropriate for an institution of learning. At the base of
the shield are two waves which symbolize the waves of Saint
Mary’s Lake on whose shores the University was founded.
In the upper left, the six-pointed star, considered the perfect
form, signies “Star of the Sea,” a title accorded the Virgin
Mary for whom Notre Dame is named. A cross symbolizes
Christianity. e open book, emblematic of education, is
inscribed with the Latin words, “Vita, Dulcedo, Spes,” or
“Our life, our sweetness, and our hope.” ese words, rst
addressed to Our Lady by Saint Bernard, are taken from the
familiar prayer, “Salve Regina,” or “Hail Holy Queen.”
THE UNIVERSITY MACE
e academic scepter, or mace, was one of the
earliest distinctive signs of medieval university ocials.
e mace was originally a wooden sta carried by royal
messengers. e early wooden sta on the university beadle,
a subaltern ocial, evolved in the 14th century into an
elaborate silver mace. It was carried by the beadle during
processions and graduation ceremonies, and was displayed
as a symbol to command order during classes. In the 15th
century it became symbolic of academic dignity. An essential
part of the mace was the sta or cylindrical rod (tibia),
originally a tube of silver lled with wood or some other base
materials. e sta, divided into several sections, was held
together by a ring-shaped excrescence (nodus). e sta was
crowned with a bell-shaped head (caput); at the base was a
nial (membrum terminale).
e Notre Dame mace was designed and executed
by the late Reverend Anthony Lauck, C.S.C., professor
emeritus of art, art history, and design. e bronze caput
repeats the University seal found on the Presidential Medal,
but brings the star outside the shield where its separate
rendering emphasizes the patronage of the Virgin Mary.
Its shaft is in walnut and the star and the nial bear the
University colors gold and blue.
