History of Savannah State University

On November 26, 1890, enabling legislation was passed by the Georgia General Assembly to establish
a school for the education and training of colored students, which was to operate as a part of the
University of Georgia. One hundred and twenty-one years later, the college has become Savannah
State University, the oldest public historically black university in Georgia.

A preliminary session of the new college was held in the Baxter Street School Building in Athens,
Georgia, with Richard Robert Wright, Sr., as principal. On October 7, 1891, the new college, named
the Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youths, moved to its present location in Thunderbolt,
Georgia. Wright was president and there were five faculty members: Loring B. Palmer, A.B.; Frank
Cobb, A.B.; Alexander Ashton; Reverend Leigh B. Maxwell, A.B.; Reverend James M. Simms, proctor
and steward; and Decatur Suggs, vice-president.

The university awarded its first baccalaureate degree to Richard R. Wright, Jr., in 1898. He went on
to become the first black man to receive a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Pennsylvania
(1911), and later to become the president of historic Wilberforce University. During Wright's tenure as
president (1890-1921), President William McKinley (1898) and President William Howard Taft (1912)
visited the campus and spoke to students and faculty in the Peter W Meldrim Hall.

Cyrus Gilbert Wiley, class of 1899, and the first alumnus to become president of the university (1921-
1926), followed Wright. Benjamin F. Hubert, who came to Georgia State College from Tuskegee
Institute, served as president from 1926-1947. It was during his tenure that the college became a full-
time degree granting institution, without high school and normal programs, and became a member
of the University System of Georgia (1932). The name of the college was changed to Georgia State
College in 1932. In 1950, the name of the college was changed to Savannah State College and in 1996,
the name was changed to Savannah State University.

The Significance Of The Academic Mace

Observing the centuries-old convocation procedures, each Marshal in the Savannah State University
Academic Procession carries an official mace, which is indicative of the power, dignity, and magisterium
vested in the University. The mace is a club-shaped staff that originated in the Middle Ages as
a weapon. Eventually, it gained a ceremonial character and is presently employed most often by
legislative forums and academic enterprises.

The official mace and stand of Savannah State University were designed and made from mahogany
wood by Dr. Ernest S. Brown, Associate Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering Technology.

Savannah State University Motto

The University motto is "Lux Et Veritas" (Light and Truth).

Academic Regalia

Modern academic dress has evolved from a type of apparel prescribed by English Medieval Universities
to distinguish their schools from the lay person in dress at a time when everybody wore robes or gowns.
When American colleges and universities desired to adopt some suitable system of academic apparel a
half century ago, it seemed best to agree on some definite system which all might follow. Accordingly,
this attire has consisted of the cap, the gown, and the hood, the latter two now differing according to
the degree the wearer has received.

The modern cap, in academic dress, has the same design for all degrees: black and square-shaped with
a tassel hanging from the center. However, the color of the tassel usually differentiates the field of study
for which the degree was granted, the gold tassel being worn by doctors or by presidents of colleges and
universities; but it may be added that the black tassel is correct for all degrees.

The gown, unlike the cap, differs appreciably in design according to the degree conferred on the wearer.
The gown for the bachelor's degree has pointed sleeves. It is designed to be worn closed. The gown for
the master's degrees, worn open or closed, has an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist, like the others. The
sleeve base hangs down in the traditional manner. The rear part of its oblong shape is square cut, and
the front part has an arc cut away. The doctor's gown, worn open or closed, has long sleeves faced with
velvet; three bars of velvet are midway the sleeves. The trimmings of the doctor's gown may be black or
the color associated with the field of study.

The hood, while not an article of dress, is however, the most distinctive feature of the academic attire.
It is a black, crow-shaped badge or adornment with an oval opening and worn down the back. It enables
one to quickly determine not only the degree held by the wearer but also the college or university
from which he is graduated. The colors lining the hood and the size and the shape of the hood make
this distinction. The bachelor's and master's hoods are three feet and three and a half feet in length,
respectively; the doctor's hood is four feet in length and is made with a wide panel. Hoods may be worn
for only those degrees actually held by the wearers.

Members of the governing body of a college or university, and they only, whatever their degrees may
be, are entitled to wear doctor's gowns (with black velvet), but their hoods may be only those of degrees
actually held by the wearers or those especially prescribed for them by the institution.

In some colleges and universities, it is customary for the president, chancellor, or chief officer to wear a
costume similar to that worn by the head of a foreign university.

The chief marshal may wear a specially designed costume approved by the institution. For all academic
purposes, including trimmings of doctor's gowns, edging of hoods, and tassels of caps, the color associated
with different subjects as prescribed by the revised American Intercollegiate Code is as follows:

Arts, Letters, Humanities White Oratory (Speech) Silver Gray

Business Drab Philosophy Dark Blue

Economics Copper Physical Education Sage Green

Education Light Blue Public Administration Peacock Blue

Law Purple Science Golden Yellow

Library Science Lemon Social Work Citron

Music Pink Theology Scarlet

At Savannah State University, the lining of the hood has an orange chevron on a blue background to
represent school colors. A faculty member wears the color of his alma mater.

Savannah State University Hymn

Original words and music by J. Randolph Fisher and Hillary Hatchett
Lyrical Revision hy Ms. LaGina M. Frazier

Let us give thanks and praises to

Our Alma Mater, S.S.LJ.

Thine honor, pride , and eminence ,

We raise in prayerful reverence .

Guide us still from day to day,

Be Thou mindful lest we lose our way;

Help us know that life, short or long,

Means unceasing work for weak and strong.

Refrain

Where Savannah meets the sea,

Where grassy plains and palms abound,

Where the Flow'rs are gems of loveliness ,

There S.S.Li, is found.

We adore each beauteous scene and hall ,

Our all we pledge to Thee!

In our hearts we 11 build a shrine for You

We hail Thee, S.S.U.!
