Be Thou My Vision
1 Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that thou art:
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
3 Riches I heed not, nor earth’s empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always:
Thou and thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my treasure thou art.
2 Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true Word;
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord:
Thou my great Father, and I thy true child,
Thou in me dwelling, by love reconciled.
4 High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

DEPARTMENT BANNERS
Throughout history, colorful banners have been used to
mark important religious and civic events and to celebrate
the vision and spirit of the participants in such events. Besides
symbolically revealing the richness of the various disciplines
at Calvin College, the department banners graphically
represent their distinctiveness. Although the colors are
mostly in keeping with traditional associations—scarlet
for religion and theology, blue for education, orange for
engineering—the designs combine the traditional, the
contemporary, and the abstract.
Art and Art History Department
An abstract eye and hand symbolize artistic expression
through the artist’s sense of sight and touch. Bright colors
against black suggest creative boldness.
Business Department
The banner of the Business Department depicts a visual
representation of business as a nexus of relationships
between people. A Christ-centered education is symbolized
by the center vertical column and the horizontal shape
of human figures forming a cross. The center, vertical,
white column also symbolizes the light of learning and
the presence of the Holy Spirit in education.
Biology Department
Dominating the banner is a symbol representing the structure
of the DNA molecule, deoxyribonucleic acid. The structure
of this fundamental material of life, the chemical basis of
heredity, was revealed in 1953 and actually photographed
in 1969.
29
Chemistry and Biochemistry Department
The main symbol used in this banner is the electron distribution for tetrahedral hybrid orbitals, which represents the
chemical activity of the elements and their compounds. Two
segments of a crystal structure are included in the design,
which are also the floor plan shape of the science building.
The shaft of pale yellow symbolizes the light of investigation. Yellow is the traditional color associated with science.
Classics Department
While the lyre and the wolf may be taken individually as
symbols of Greece and Rome, together they portray the
unity of the two civilizations and its cultural achievement,
the union of art and nature, and of poetry and myth. Horace
has given this continuity and fusion of the two traditions
of Greece and Rome its classical literary expression in
his odes, of which none better, perhaps, than the Integer
vitae ode conveys the intention of this banner.
Communication Arts and Sciences Department
Sound waves emanating from a central core symbolize
communication through speech and drama. The reversal
of the outward movement suggests feedback in communication. Silver gray is the color traditionally assigned to
speech and drama.
Computer Science Department
The banner of the Computer Science Department features
a Turing machine, the foundational model of digital
computation. The zeroes and ones on its tape reflect the
binary logic by which digital computation is implemented.
Congregational and
Ministry
Studies
Economics
Education
Engineering
The changing colors and order of the numbers express the
transition as data move from input through processing to
output. The white shaft and its golden sheath symbolize
the light and energy of education and the sciences. The
flowing wind symbolizes the transforming work of the
Holy Spirit as it infuses the discipline of computing.
Congregational and Ministry Studies
The flame and the dove symbolize the Spirit’s work
within each of us to foster a vibrant Christian life and
active participation in the ongoing renewal of church life.
The Congregational and Ministry Studies Department
emphasizes academic preparation for knowledgeable
contributions to the church along with strategies for exercising the voice of faith in society more broadly. Concern
for the academic study of ministry leadership, whether
lay or ordained, is grounded in the Reformed tradition’s
emphasis on the responsibilities of every Christian for
ministry and in the emerging vitality of congregational
studies as a field of teaching and scholarship.
Economics Department
Shapes and lines express the charting and planning
of economic budgets. Subtly appearing among other
symbols is a cross expressing the Christ-centered teaching
of economics at Calvin College. Copper is the color
associated with economics.
Education Department
The relationship of teacher and student in the educational process is represented by the forceful interaction of
shapes in this design. The white shaft symbolizes the light
of learning in the Holy Spirit. Blue is traditionally linked
with education.
English
French
Geology,
Geography, &
Environmental
Studies
Engineering Department
The banner illustrates the key activity of engineers,
namely, their involvement with the design process, an
iterative, decision-making sequence. Steps in the sequence,
represented by circles and rectangles, are connected by
arrows to indicate the movement from the initial problem statement to final solution. Two-way arrows suggest
the possibility of sequence reversal. Orange traditionally
designates engineering.
English Department
The two main symbols, the lion and the eagle, represent
England and the United States of America. The lozenge
pattern in the background expresses the pageantry
of England during the development of the English language.
French Department
The banner of the Department of French features the Coq
Gaulois, long a national emblem of France, and the Arch
of Triumph, a symbol of French patriotism. The cock,
traditionally the Christian symbol for watchfulness, has
been adopted as its symbol by a nation which since its inception has been one of the important cradles of Christian
thought and practice. The colors of the national flag are
represented by the Coq Gaulois.
Geology, Geography, and Environmental Studies
Department
Earthkeeping, the human community’s care for God’s earth,
is symbolized in the banner for the Department of Geology,
Geography, and Environmental Studies by representations
of atmosphere, mountains, cities, water, and the various
levels of the earth’s interior. The white shaft symbolizes the
light and energy of learning stimulated by the Holy Spirit.

Germanic and Asian Languages and Literatures
Department
The study of the Dutch and German languages is represented
by symbols taken from emblems of the countries associated
with these languages. The traditional black eagle represents Germany, and the orange lion is from the seal of the
Netherlands. The white shaft symbolizes the light of learning.
Library
The library as a gatherer, receptacle, and distributor of
information, ideas, and learning is represented by the
abstract book shape, while the white, flowing shaft itself
symbolizes the light and energy of learning in the Holy
Spirit of God. The flame is the traditional symbol of learning and discovery through research.
History Department
Jagged horizontal bands, representing both the rise and
fall of civilizations and the four kingdoms as described in
the Book of Daniel, move across vertical time lines, which
also symbolize the dramatic influence of Christ on history.
Mathematics and Statistics Department
Mathematicians have always saved time and effort by
substituting symbols for words. The basic arithmetical
steps of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and
dividing are depicted on this banner by some of the
earliest ways of writing them down. The Renaissance
calculator Tartaglia used the first letter of the Italian word
for plus to signify adding. Diophantus favored this minus
sign in Greek times. Leibniz employed this multiplication
symbol in 17th-century Germany. J. E. Gallimard used
this reverse D for division in 18th-century France.
International Development Studies
Human development is the transformation that occurs as
we engage the redemptive task of reconciling all things to
Christ and working toward a world that conforms ever
more closely to the biblical vision of shalom. This transformation is symbolized by the “dancers,” who radiate the
joy of human flourishing in a diverse world embedded in
God’s creation. The dancers evoke the image of the cross
and remind us that we are able to dance only because of
our freedom in Christ. The Holy Spirit, symbolized by the
white strand that comes from above and weaves its way
through the dancers and all of creation, inspires the dance.
Kinesiology Department
Engaged in exercise, sports, and dance, a person in motion
is suggested by the movement of rhythmical shapes and
lines. Sage green is the color associated with physical fitness.

Music Department
The design of the banner emphasizes the rhythms of
musical sounds. Shapes and lines suggest strings, valves,
keys, horn bell, drum, and other musical forms. Radiating circles suggest sound waves. The colors express the
various moods of music.
Nursing Department
The traditional emblem of nursing, Florence Nightingale’s
lamp, is featured in the banner for the department of nursing.
The flame of the lamp symbolizes the light of Christian
compassion and education. The gold of the lamp is the

traditional color for science. The background apricot color
is the academic regalia color for nursing, while the white
shaft represents peace through the Holy Spirit.
Philosophy Department
Light refracted through a transparent prism symbolizes
the many-faceted investigations of fact and of principles
of reality and of human nature and conduct.
Physics and Astronomy Department
The construction of elements is symbolized in the banner
by the simplest atom, hydrogen, with its single proton
and electron. Also included in the design are a tracing of
the paths of particles from an atom and a segment of a
crystal structure, which is also the floor plan shape of the
science building. The yellow shaft symbolizes the light of
investigation.
Political Science Department
The banner of the Department of Political Science features a
representation of the fasces, a symbol of the authority of the
state, and arrows that express the direction and flow of the
analytical and holistic nature of the process of law. The fasces,
a bundle of rods bound about by an ax with projecting
blade, was carried before ancient Roman magistrates as a
symbol of authority. The white shaft of seven rods also symbolizes peace and enlightenment through the Holy Spirit.
Psychology Department
The Greek letter psi, the first letter of the Greek word
psyche (the mind), traditionally signifies the discipline
of psychology. The color red symbolizes emotion; blue,
rationality; and white, peace through the Holy Spirit.

Religion Department
Three symbols of the Trinity—circle, cross, and dove—
express the fullness of God as He reveals Himself as creator,
savior, and counselor. These symbols are interlocked to
depict the oneness of God. The shaft of white is the light of
learning in Christian education guided by the Holy Spirit.
Scarlet is traditionally associated with theology.
Sociology and Social Work Department
The central concept of sociology, represented by the inner circle, is a person interacting with other people to
form groups. Total human society, represented by the
broken circle, is composed of many small units forming a
larger interrelated structure. All groups, from the family to
society itself, exist within a framework of social norms.
This normative or cultural framework, represented by the
unbroken outer circle, promotes conformity, as suggested
by the arrows directed from it toward the inner circles
of society and the smaller group.
Spanish Department
The banner of the Spanish Department features the
traditional symbols of the historical kingdoms of Castilla
(castle), León (lion), and Aragón (red and yellow bars).
These Christian kingdoms emerged during the eighthundred-year-long reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula
from domination by Muslim rulers. The separate kingdoms
were joined through the marriage of Ferdinand and
Isabella, and eventually coalesced into the modern nation
of Spain.
