A state flag is hereby adopted, and the same shall
be of the following design and dimensions, to-wit: Its dimensions shall

feet hoist; or any size proportionate to either of those dimensions. The
field of the flag shall be blue with nineteen (19) stars and a flaming
torch in gold or buff. Thirteen (13) stars shall be arranged in an outer
circle, representing the original thirteen (13) states; five (5) stars shall
be arranged in a half circle below the torch and inside the outer circle
of stars, representing the states admitted prior to Indiana; and the
nineteenth star, appreciably larger than the others and representing
Indiana shall be placed above the flame of the torch. The outer circle
of stars shall be so arranged that one (1) star shall appear directly in the
middle at the top of the circle, and the word "Indiana" shall be placed
in a half circle over and above the star representing Indiana and
midway between it and the star in the center above it. Rays shall be
shown radiating from the torch to the three (3) stars on each side of the
star in the upper center of the circle.

commissioners of the various school corporations of this state, and
board of county commissioners of the several counties of the state, may
procure a state flag for each school and for each courthouse under their
respective supervision and cause the same to be placed conspicuously
in the principal room or assembly hall and any courtroom of any such
