NAVA 54, Vexitbit—Alex Gilkey: A New Kenyon Flag

Alex Gilkey presented a smooth version of the Kenyon College flag.  Kenyon College is a private Episcopal college located in Gambier, Ohio which is in the heart of Ohio near Columbus.  Gilkey proposed a streamlined armorial banner as a new flag for Kenyon College.   Currently, a blue flag with a white letter K represents the college in addition to a gold fringed flag with the coat of arms.

The shield was adopted in 1937 with the motto 'Valiantly Bear the Cross.'  There is an open book to represent learning.  Behind the book is a Bishop's staff.  The lower pattern represents Lord Kenyon's family coat of arms.   Also the crosses are indicative of Christianity.

Gilkey proposed a flag that is composed of the chevron with three white crosses.   It is a would be armorial banner for the Lord Kenyon.
