In 1819, the Reverend Luther Rice, Obadiah B. Brown, Spencer H. Cone, and Enoch
Reynolds (all Baptist ministers) set in motion the reality of a college in the District.
These men raised the needed funds to purchase land in the nation’s capital, petitioned
the Congress for a charter, and began organizing a college.
On February 9, 1821, President James Monroe signed the Act of Congress which
created the College. By design of the Congress, a special provision was included which
required that “persons of every religious denomination shall be capable of being
elected Trustees; nor shall any person, either as President, Professor, Tutor or pupil, be
refused admittance, or denied any of the privileges, immunities, or advantages thereof,
for or on account of his sentiments in matters of religion.”
The original seal was designed by James Peale in 1821, at the time of the founding of
the Columbian College. This is the seal that the graduates are wearing today as medals.
The seal features a Biblical lion lying down with a lamb and Greek text in an open
book. The Greek translates to “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God.”
In 1873, the name Columbian College was changed to Columbian University and the
seal was changed slightly to reflect this. The Latin text around the outside was changed
from “Columbiani Collegii” to “Universitatis Columbianae Sigillim.” In addition,
some text was added to fill up the rest of the open book, since the Greek phrase only
took up part of one page. In 1905, after the name changed to the George Washington
University, the old seal was replaced by a completely new one.
The original Columbian College seal is currently on display in the Memorabilia Room
of Gelman Library.

L E TTER FROM T HE DEAN
Congratulations, Graduates!
This day marks the beginning of a new and exciting journey. As a graduate of the
Columbian College of the Arts and Sciences, you now carry with you the skills that
our university’s namesake considered essential for responsible citizenship, skills that
will help you be informed and effective global citizens. I encourage you to use your
studies as a foundation for contributing to your communities and making a difference
in whatever field you pursue.
As students of the liberal arts, you were driven by your desire to explore new ideas, to
think broadly, be creative, ask questions and tackle new challenges. You took chances,
combined your academic rigor and achievement with a spirit of exploration and
adventure, and enhanced your intellectual and personal growth through GW’s unique
Paul J. Wahlbeck connections across the nation’s capital and around the world.
Interim Dean
As a member of our academic community, you worked side-by-side with world-
renowned scholars in classrooms, labs and field sites; you benefited from research
grants that positioned you to explore exciting innovations; and you took full advantage
of our partnerships with the world’s top research and cultural institutions—from the
Library of Congress to the National Institutes of Health to the Smithsonian. Because
of our location, you’ve also had a front-row seat to history and have experienced some
truly special “only at GW” moments. I hope you appreciated your time here as much
as we enjoyed working with you.
The relationships you established here will provide a strong network to keep you
connected with this institution and the world beyond our campus. Wherever you go,
be proud to call yourself a George Washington University graduate. It is a privileged
group, one that will reward you both personally and professionally.
Please know that the GW community will always be open to you, wherever and
however you choose to keep in touch. I encourage you stay connected through
Facebook or Twitter and, whenever the opportunity arises, come back to Foggy
Bottom to attend an alumni event, participate in a campus forum or visit a faculty
member.
All my best to you as you embark on a future of promise and unlimited possibility!

Zach Hollander, a San Francisco native, transferred to GW as a sophomore. In
his year between transferring, he worked as a barista at Philz Coffee and at the St.
Anthony’s Foundation, a nonprofit in San Francisco that provides services to people
experiencing homelessness and poverty in the city. His passion to address the injustice
of homelessness across the United States inspired him to volunteer and subsequently
serve as a student leader for EngageDC at Miriam’s Kitchen. In working with
California State Senator Scott Wiener and Congressman Ro Khanna, he continued his
service and advocacy while also helping craft structural policy solutions.
Since coming to GW, he has consistently combined his academic studies with his
dedication to service-based work within communities. As a Presidential Fellow for
the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress, he examined the historical
features of federal low-income housing assistance and how it has fed the country’s
homelessness and eviction crises. His philosophy thesis, rooted in his direct service
Zachary Hollander, experiences, explored the dehumanization of people experiencing homelessness and
B.A. ’20 the need for political action to overcome a solvable injustice. Through classes and
2020 Distinguished Scholar professors in both the Political Science Department and the Philosophy Department,
he has been able to attain higher levels of insight into the complex factors underlying
inequality and poverty in the United States and around the world. And lastly, he still
loves to laugh, appreciate art, and find joy and goodness in the world: since coming to
GW, he has been a member of an improv comedy group on campus.
This fall, Mr. Hollander will continue his examination of housing policy, poverty, and
inequality at the University of Oxford where he will study for an MSc in Comparative
Social Policy.
He would not be where he is without community. Words cannot adequately capture
how grateful he is for all the friends, family, colleagues, professors, and advisors who
have challenged, supported, listened to, and encouraged him.
