 | | Each ring symbolically captures the essence of Vanderbilt. It features the Vanderbilt University Crest in black and solid gold, set in a background of black onyx. The top of the shield represents the battlements of Kirkland Hall, and the oak leaf stands for strength and longevity. The inside of the Official Ring can be engraved with the recipient’s initials, degree, and class year. Wear the ring and carry its meaning with you. |
