Mission Statement

Savannah State University, the oldest public historically black university in the State of
Georgia, develops productive members of a global society through high quality instruction,
scholarship, research, service and community involvement. The University fosters engaged
learning and personal growth in a student-centered environment that celebrates the African
American legacy while nurturing a diverse student body. Savannah State University offers
graduate and undergraduate studies including nationally accredited programs in the liberal
arts, the sciences and the professions.

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 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, name 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 the Ph.D. in sociology form 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 Geogria 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.

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 College Hymn

Original words and music by J. Randolph Fisher and Hillary Hatchett

Tet us give thanks and praises to

Our Alma Mater, S.S. U.

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. U. is found.

We adore each beauteous scene and hall,

Our all we pledge to Thee!

In our hearts we'll build a shrine for You

We hail Thee, S.S. W
