For amber waves of grain,

For purple mountain majesties

Americat America! God shed His grace on thee,

And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining seat
O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impassion'd stress

A thoroughfare for freedom beat

Confirun thy soul in self-control,

�MACE AND CHAIN OF OFFICE
The inauguration of President Michelini marked the first ceremonial use of two important insignia recently given to Wilkes
College. The handsome mace and chain of office are the gifts of
local donors.

The two insignia were designed and executed by a nationally
known gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt J. Matzdorf of the State
University College, New Paltz, NewYork.

The College Mace

THr Mecs is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower
end of the hammered shalt is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper
end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 1933."
Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that
Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous
community of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is
clearly stated in the giltinscription around theupperpartof the bowl:
"unity Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt
seal of Vlilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flameJike structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center
of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community and
the College in its coal mining past.
TheChainof Offiee

Tnr

Cnerrv or Orrrcr of the President of Wilkes College is four
feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the
chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt fames repeating the motif
of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the
strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the chain
is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong
leadership of the College.

]oyful, ioyful, we adore Thee,
God of glotY,Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers beforeThee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
Drive the dark of doubt away i
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fillus with the light of daY!

All Thy works with ioy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven reflect ThY rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken Praise;
Fietd and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
Call us to reioice in Thee.

ilI.
Mortals, ioin the hrPPY chorus
Which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er tls,
Brother love binds man to man'
Ever singingr rn&amp;rch we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife:
Ioyful music leads us sunward
In the triumPh song of life.

MACE AND CHAIN OF OFT'ICE
The inauguration of President Michelini marked the first ceremonial use of two important insignia recently given to Wilkes
College. The handsome mace and chain of office are the gifts of
local donors.

The two insignia were designed and executed by a nationally
kno-vm gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt !. Matzdorf of the State
University College, New Paltz, New York.

TheCollegeMace

Tnr Mecr is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower
end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper
end of the shaft displays t}e inscription "Wilkes College 1933."
Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that
Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous
community of people of many difierent backgrounds. This theme is
clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl:
"Llnity Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt
seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flame-like structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center
of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community and
the College in ir coal mining past.

TheChainof Office

Tnr

Cnerw or Orrrcr of the President of Wilkes College is four
feet long and is made oI sterling silver throughout. The links of the
chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif
of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes C.ollege suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the
strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the eJrain
is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong
leadership of the College.

��ALMA MATER
Wilkes, our Alma Mater,
We pledge our hearts to thee,

Honor, faith,

and, courage,

Truth and loyalty.
In our work and in our pleasure,
Guide us as a friend;

We shall always love thee,
Loyal to the end.

Thou shalt lead us onward.
In search of finer things.

M*ywefind thewisdom
That thy spirit brings.
M*y our

deeds of love and service

Ever swell thy f4s1s

-

Wilkes, we stand to greet thee!

Glory to thy name.

�HYMN TO IOY
r.

]oyful, ioyful,we adore Thee,
God of gloty, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!

II.

All Thy works with ioy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
Call us to rejoice in Thee.

III.
Mortals, join the huppy chorus
trVhich the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er us,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singin gt trrdrch we onwatd,
Victors in the midst of strife:
]oyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

�IYIACE

AND CHAIN OF OEFICE

The inauguration of President Michelini marked the first cere'
monial use of two important insignia recently given to Wilkes
College. The handso*e mace and chain of office are the gifu of
local donors.

The two insignia were designed and executed by a nationally
known gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt J. Matzdorf of the State
University College, New Paltz, New York.

The College Mace
IVIecr is rnade of sterling silver throughout. At the lower
end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper
end of the shalt displays the inscription "Wilkes College 193-3."
Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that
Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous
community of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is
clearly stated d til gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl:
"Uniiy Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt
seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt fame-like structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center
of this &amp;fame" to commemorate the origin of the community and
the College in its coal mining past.

Tur

The Cltain of Office

Tns

CHArN

or Orrlcr of the President of wilkes college is four

feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the
chain aie alternating silver bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif
of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the
strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the eirain
is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of W_ ilkes Co[lege, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong
leadership of the College.

��ALMA MATER

|oyful, ioy ful, we adore Thee,
God of glot!,Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
Drive the dark of doubt away i
Giver of immortal gladness,
FiIl us with the light of daY!

II.
Thy works with ioy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven reflect ThY tays,

Stars and angels sing around Thee,

Center of unbroken Praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea'
Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
CaIl us to reioice in Thee.

III.
Mortals, join the huPPY chorus
Which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er trs,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singingr fir?rch we onwatd,
Victors in the midst of strife:
|oyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

�MACE AND CHAIN OF OI1FICE
The inauguration of President Michelini marked the first cere.
monial use of two important insignia recently given to Wilkes
College. The handsome mace and chain of office are the gifts of
local donors.

The two insignia were designed and executed by a nationally
known gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt J. Matzdorf of the State
University College, New Paltz, New York.
The College Mace

Tnu Mecs is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower
end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper
end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 1933."
Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that
Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous
cornmunity of people of many difierent backgrounds. This theme is
clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl:
"LJnity Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt
seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flame-like structure to indieate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center
of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community and
the College in its coal mining past.
The Chain of Office

Tnr Cnanv or Orncr of the President of Wilkes College is four
feet long and is made of steriing silver throughout. The links of the
chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif
of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the
strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the elain
is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong
leadership of the College.

I.

|oyful, ioy ful, we adore Thee,
God of gloty,Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
Drive the dark of doubt away i
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!
rr.

All Thy works with ioy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
CalI us to rejoice in Thee.

III.
Mortals, join the huppy chorus
Which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er us,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singingr fit?rch we onwatd,
Victors in the midst of strife:
]oyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

�MACE AND CHAIN OF OFFICE
The inauguration of President Michelini marked the first ceremonial use of two important insignia recently given to Wilkes
College. The handsome mace and chain of office are the gifts of
local donors.

The two insignia were designed and executed by a nationally
known gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt J. Matzdorf of the State
University College, New Paltz, New York.

The College Mae.e

Tnr Mecr is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower
end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper
end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 1933."
Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that
Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous
community of people of many diif"r"rrt baekgrounds. This theme is
clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl:
"Unity Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt
seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flameJike structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center
of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community and
the College in its coal mining past.

The Chain of Office

Tnr Cnew or Orncr

of the President of Wilkes College is four
feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the
chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt fames repeating the motif
of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the
strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the chain
is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong
leadership of the College.

Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,

All Thy works with joy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountilir,
Call us to rejoice in Thee.

Which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er us,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singingr rn&amp;rch we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife:

In the triumph song of life.

�MACE AND CHAIN OF OIIFICE
The inauguration of President Michelini marked the first ceremonial use of two important insignia recently given to Wilkes
College. The handsome mac€ and chain of office are the gifts of
local donors.

The two insignia were designed and executed by a nationally
known gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt J. Matzdorf of the State
University College, New Paltz, New York.

The College Mace

THr MecB is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower
end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper
end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 1933."
Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that
Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous
community of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is
clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl:
"tlnity Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt
seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flameJike structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center
of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community and
the Collegein its coal miningpast.

The Chain of Offiee

Tns CHArry or Orrrcr of the President of Wilkes College is four
feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the
chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif
of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the
strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the chain
is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, frrst president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong
leadership of the College.

�ALMA MATER
Wilkes, our Alma Mater,
We pledge our hearts to thee,

Honor, faith, and courag€,

Truth and loyalty.
In our work and in our pleasure,
Guide us as a friend;

We shall always love thee,
Loyal to the end.

Thou sh4lt lead us onward
In search o[ finer things.
May we find the wisdom

That thy spirit brings.

Mry our

deeds of love and service

Ever swell thy f46s

-

Wilkes, we stand to greet thee!

Glory to thy name.

I.
'

]oyful, ioyful, we adore Thee,
God of gloty, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
Drive the dark of doubt away ,
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!

II.

All Thy works wittr ioy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and, forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
Call us to rejoice in Thee.

III.
Mortals, join the huppy chorus
IzVhich the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er us,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singingr rrr:lrch we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife:
|oyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

�MACE AND CHAIN OF OFTICE
The inauguration of President Michelini marked the first ceremonial use of two important insignia recently given to Wilkes
College. The handsome mace and chain of office are the gifts of
local donors.

The two insignia were designed and executed by a nationally
known gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt ]. Matzdorf of the State
University College, New Palu, New York.

The College Mace

Tnr Mecs is made of sterling

silver throughout. At the lower
end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper
end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 1933."
Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that
Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous
community of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is
clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl:
"Unity Amidst Diversity." Set into th. top of the bowl is the gilt
seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flame-like structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center
of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community and
the Collegein its eoalminingpast.

TheChainof Office

Tnr CnerN or Orrrcr of the President of Wilkes College is four
feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the
chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif
of the mac€. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the
strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the chain
is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes ColIege, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong
leadership of the College.

�ALMA MATER
Wilkes, our Alma Mater,
We pledge our hearts to thee,

Honor, faith, and courag€,

Truth and loyalty.
In our work and in our pleasure,
Guide us as a friend;

We shall always love thee,
Loyal to the end.

Thou shalt lead us onward
In search of finer things.
May we find the wisdom

That thy spirit brings.

Mry our deeds of love and service
Ever swell thy fs6s

-

Wilkes, we stand to greet theel

Glory to thy name.

Ioyful, ioyful, we adore Thee,
God of gloty, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!

II.
AII Thy works with ioy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,

Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
Call us to rejoice in Thee.

III.
Mortals, join the huppy chorus
IzVhich the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er us,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, rn?rch we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife:
]oyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

MACE AND CHAIN OF OFFICE
The inauguration of President Michelini marked the first ceremonial use of two important insignia recently given to Wilkes
College. The handsomi mace and chain of office are the gifts of
local donors.

The two insignia were designed and executed by a nationally
known gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt |. Matzdorf of the State
University College, New Paltz, New York.

TheCollegeMace
lVlacr is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower
end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper
o'Wilkes College 1933."
end of the shaft displays the inscription
Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that
Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous
community of people of many difierent backgrounds. This theme is
clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl:
"Unity Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt
seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flame-like structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center
of this "flame" to eommemorate the origin of the community and
the Collegein its coal mining past.

Tnr

The Clnin of Office

Tnr CnerN or Orncr of the President of Wilkes College is four
feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the
chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt fames repeating the motif
of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the
strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the eJrain
is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong
leadership of the College.

�ALMA h{ATER
Wilkes, our Alma Mater,
We pledge our hearts to thee,
Honor, faith, and courag€,

Truth and loyalty.
In our work and in our pleasure,
Guide us as a friend;

We shall ahn als love thee,
Loyal to the end.

Thou shalt lead us onward
In search of finer things.
May we find the wisdom

That thy spirit brings.

Mry our deeds of love and service
Ever swell thy f4s1s

-

Wilkes, we stand to greet theet

Glory to thy name.

�HYI\4N TO IOY
I.

|oyful, ioyful, we adore Thee,
God of gloty, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!

rI.

All Thy works with ioy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
Call us to rejoice in Thee.

II.
Mortals, join thehrppy chorus
Which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er us,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singingr rrErrch we onwatd,
Victors in the midst of strife:
|oyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

�iVIACE

AND CHAIN OF OFFICE

The inauguration of President Michelini marked the first ceremonial use of two important insignia recently given to Wilkes
College. The handsome macr and chain of offica are the gifts of
local donors.

The two insignia were designed and exeeuted by a nationally
known gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt f. Matzdorf of the State
University College, New Paltz, NewYork.

The College Mace

Tns Macs is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower
end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper
end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 1933."
Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that
Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous
community of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is
clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl:
"Unity Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt
seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flame-like structure to indicate the enkghtenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center
of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community and
the Collegein its coalminingpast.

TheChain of Office

Tsr CnerN or Orrrcr of the President of Wilkes College is four
feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the
chain are altemating silver bowls and gilt flames repeating the moti{
of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wlkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the
strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the chain
is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to cpmmemorate his strong
leadership of the College.

�ALMA IVIATER
Wilkes, our Alma Mater,
We pledge our hearts to thee,

Honor, faith, and courage,

Truth and loyalty.
In our work and in our pleasure,
Guide us as a friend;

We shall always love thee,
Loyal to the end.

Thou shalt lead us onward
In search of finer things.
May we find the wisdom

That thy spirit brings.
May our deeds of love and service
Ever swell thy faps

-

Wilkes, we stand to greet thee!

Glory to thy name.

HYMN TO IOY
r.

]oyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
Drive the dark of doubt aw ay;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!

II.
All Thy works with ioy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,

Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery rneadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
Call us to rejoice in Thee.

III.
Mortals, join the hrppy chorus
Which the mornirg stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er us,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, rnarch we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife:
]oyful music leads us sunward.
In the triumph song of life.

�HYMN TO IOY
r.

]oyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
Drive the dark of doubt aw ay;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of dayl

II.
All Thy works with ioy surround Th€e,
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,

Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
Call us to rejoice in Thee.

III.
Mortals, join the hrppy chorus
Which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er us,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, rnarch we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife:
]oyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

�MACE AND CHAIN OF OFFICE
The inauguration of President Midrelini marked the first ceremonial use of two important insignia recently given to wilkes
pollege. The handsome mace and chain of office are the gifts of
local donors.

The two insignia were designed by Ottie Hill Chwalek ,6I and
executed by a nationally known gold and silversmith, professor Kurt
t. Mazdorf of the state university collegg New paltz, New york.

TheCollegeMace

Tnr Mecr is made of sterling

silver throughout. At the lower
end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-platea) uou. The upper
end of the shaft displays the inscription-"wilkes college lg'3b."
Above the short, hammered neck iises a bowl to indicate that
wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous
community of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is
clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the
Qwl: 'lu4ty Amidst Diversity), Set into the top oi tt"towl is the
gilt seal of wilkes college. Ttr. top of the *r."- is a gilt flameJike
structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher
education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the
center of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community
and the College in its coal mining past.

The Chain of Office

Tnr cnerN or orrrcs

of the President of wilkes college is four
feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the
chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif
of the mace. In the front hangs t}e gilt seal of wjkes college suspended- from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the
strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of thu .hrin
is a- silver portrait of Eugene s. Farley, first president of wilkes
set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to cominemorate his strong
-coll.gg,
leadership of the College.

Loyal to the end.
Thou shalt lead us onward

In search of finer things.

That thy spirit brings.
May our deeds of love and service
Ever swell thy fs6s

Wilkes, we stand to greet theel

Glory to thy name.

�HYMN TO IOY

I.
]oyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of gloty,Lord of love;
Hearts unfold tike flowers before Ttee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
Drive the dark of doubt aw ay;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!

II.
Atl Thy works with ioy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,

Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
Call us to rejoice in Thee.

ilI.
Mortals, join the h*ppy chorus
Which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er us,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, rnarch we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife:
]oyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

�MACE AND CHAIN OF OFFICE
The inauguration of President Michelini marked the first ceremonial use of two important insignia given to Wilkes College. The
handsome mace and chain of office are the gifts of local donors.
The two insignia were designed by Ottie Hill Chwalek'61 and
Kurt
J. Matzdorf oI the State University College, New Paltz, New York.
executed by a nationally known gold and silversmith, Professor

The College Mace

Tsr Mecr is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower
end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper
end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 1933."
Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that
Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous
community of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is
clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of t"he
bowl: "[Jnity Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the
gilt seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flame-like
structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher
education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the
center of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community
and the College in its coal mining past.

The Chain of Office

Tnr Cneru or Orrrcr

of the President of Wilkes College is four
feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the
chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif
of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the
strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the chain
is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes
College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong
leadership of the College.

�ALMA MATER

Wilkes, our Alma Mater,

We ptedge our hearts to thee,
Honor, faith, and courage,

Truth and loyalty.
In our work and in our

Pleasure,

Guide us as a friend;

We shall always love thee,
Loyal to the end.

Thou shalt lead us onward

In search of finer things.
May we find the wisdom

That thy spirit brings.
May our deeds of love and service
Ever swell thy f46s

-

Wilkes, we stand to greet theel

Glory to thy name.

�HYMN TO IOY

r.

]oyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of gloty,Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
Drive the dark of doubt aw ay;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of dayl

II.
All Thy works with ioy surround The€,
Earth and heaven reflect ThY rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
Call us to rejoice in Thee.

ilI.
Mortals, join the h*ppy chorus
Which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er us,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singingr fiI&amp;rch we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife:
]oyful music leads us sunward
ln the triumph song of life.

�MACE AI{D CHAIN OF OFrICE
The inauguration of President Michelini marked the first ceremonial use of two important insignia given to V/ilkes College. The
handsome mace and chain of office are the gifts of local donors.

The two insignia were designud by Ottie Hilt Chwalek'61 and
Kurt
J. Matzdorf of the State University College, New PaLa,, New York.
executed by a nationally known gold and silversmith, Professor

TheCollegeMace

Tnr Mecr is made of sterling

silver throughout. At the lower
end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper
end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 1933."
Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that
Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous
eommunity of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is
clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the
bowl: "IJnity Amiclst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the
gilt seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flameJike
structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher
education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the
center of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community
and the College in its coal mining past.

TheChain of Office

Tnr Cnew or Orrrcr of tJre President of Wilkes College is four
feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the
chain are altemating silver bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif
of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the
strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the chain
is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes
College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong
leadership of the College.

�ALMA MATER

Wilkes, our Alma Mater,

We pledge our hearts to thee,
Honor, faith, and courag€,

Truth and loyalty.
In our work and in our Pleasure,
Guide us as a friend;
We shall always love thee,
Loyal to the end.

Thou shalt lead us onward

In search of finer things.
May we find the wisdom

That thy spirit brings.
May our deeds of love and service
Ever swell thy fxsls

-

Wilkes, we stand to greet theel

Glory to thy name.

�HYMN TO IOY

r.
]oyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and saclness,
Drive the dark of doubt arv ay;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of dayl
I1.

AII Thy works with ioy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven refleet Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
Call us to reioice in Thee.

II[.
Mortals, ioin the h*ppy chorus
Which the mornirg stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er us,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, rnarch we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife:
]oyful music leads us sunward
ln the triumph song of life.

�MACE AND CFIAIN OF OFI'ICE
The inauguration of President Mie,helini marked the first ceremonial use of two important insignia given to wilkes college. The
handsome maoe and chain of office are the gifts of local donors.
The two insignia were designd by Ottie Hill Chwalek,6l and
Kurt
f. Matzdorf of the State Universiry College, New palu, New york.
executed by a nationally known gold and silversmith, Professor

TheCollege Mace

Tnr Mecr

is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower
end of the hammered
$aft is a gilt (gold-platea) UoU. The upper
end of the shaft displays the inscription-"wilkes college Is.iT3.'
Above the shorq hammered neck iises a bowl to indicate that
wilkes-Barre acted as melting pot in forming a new and vigorous
I
cgmT"nity of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is
glearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the
bowl: "unity Amidst Diversityi' set into the top oi thu hwr is the
gilt seal of wilkes college. The top of the *o.u- is a gilt flame-like
structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher
education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set irithe
center of this "flamd' to commemorate the origin of the community
and the College in its coal mining past.

TheChainof Office

feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links oI the
chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt flames rerpeating the motif
of the mace. In the front.hangs the grlt seal of wilkes cL[ug" r,rspended- from a cluster of oak Ieaves with three acorns to suggist the
strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of ttru.h"in
is a silver portrait of Eugene s. Farley, first president of wilkes
lollege, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to comiremorate his strong
leadership of the College.
