The Cowell Banners
In the Spring of 1971, three seniors decided for their last quarter to take an Independent Study. They wanted to leave something behind them more permanent than yet another research paper. They also wanted to work in another medium besides typing paper and have fun while they were at it. Jane Husmann, Anna Fickenscher and Phyllis Wachob Weiss petitioned Jasper Rose for an independent course in heraldry and banners. Their intention was to create banners for Cowell College based on medieval English heraldic traditions, but with symbols appropriate to the time.
