SVC Logo Lanyard Convenient for Student ID, Dorm Keys, Beer Bottle Opener?

SVC logo lanyards were a must on campus.

Hopefully Edward Everett would have been proud to see Southern Vermont College students wearing SVC logo lanyards with beer bottle openers attached - he was in the bottle manufacturing business, after all. 

SVC logo lanyards were common on the Bennington mountainside campus, helping students keep track of their student ID, dorm keys, car keys, and other ancillary items such as a pen, hand sanitizer, glasses, or even a whistle. 

Vintage Southern Vermont College (Bennington) Classic Sweatshirt - Still Looks Great After All These Years!

Southern Vermont College sweatshirt.

This sweatshirt was purchased at the SVC bookstore, which was located in the basement of the Everett Mansion. For such a small college, the SVC bookstore had a decent selection of clothing.

Traditionally styled with smart 'Southern Vermont College' lettering, the sweatshirt is a fitting tribute to the school's mountainside location. While the quality garment has withstood the test of time, it was relatively pricey when originally purchased.

Bookmark Featuring Everett Mansion 'Hand' Sconce - one of SVC's Spooky Architectural Accessories.

Hand shaped sconce, Everett Mansion.

First time visitors to Southern Vermont College were magnetically drawn to the Everett Mansion's mysterious hand shaped sconce. 

Eerily fashioned in the human form, the sconce never failed to arouse a sense of intrigue. This bookmark was sent to SVC supporters after an Annual Fund campaign some years ago. A fitting addition to my finest volume!

 

The Last SVC Alumni Decal Ever Made (Treasure This Keepsake)

The last decal design, produced before SVC's closing.

This decal was given out at SVC's last Alumni Weekend event. The mood was somber, as everyone knew the College would be closing for good. 

The decal displays SVC's logo, along with the 'Alumni' designation. Best of all, it's backed by SVC's trademark shade of green.

Southern Vermont College diploma.

Southern Vermont College diplomas were exquisitely crafted documents, conveying the heritage, reputation, and high academic standards of SVC. 

Signed by both the division chair and President Barbara Sirvis, SVC's diploma is a work of art in addition to an exhibit of academic achievement.

A Beautiful Sketch of the Everett Mansion Accompanies Each SVC Diploma - a Magical Combination Indeed!

Pen and ink drawing of the Everett Mansion, SVC.

After graduation, my Southern Vermont College diploma sat concealed on a shelf for years, obscured by books and carrying a thin layer of dust. And then the greatest tragedy in American higher education took place - the closing of SVC.

Sad and emotional, I took a trip down memory lane and held the diploma in my hands for the first time in a dog's age.

Remembering SVC with Each Spot of Tea! (Office of Residential Life, Southern Vermont College)

Office of Residential Life mug, Southern Vermont College.

This vintage SVC mug dates back to the 1998-1999 academic year. SVC Resident Directors had a busy job and most likely drank lots of coffee to keep them going, amongst other beverages. 

The SVC Resident Director had an office on the first floor of Aldis Hall, which also housed the Director of Security, Director of Student Life, and Counseling Services. The SVC switchboard was also behind a desk in the lobby of Aldis Hall. Professionally staffed during the day but manned by work-study students on evenings and weekends, switchboard shifts were regarded as a prized assignment.
