May 31, 1975 Four o'clock in the afternoon The Herbert E. Harris Amphitheatre Whittier, THE MACE During the middle ages the mace was carried into battle by churchmen, who were forbidden by church law to bear edged weapons. The mace was later carried before the king by his bodyguard and eventually became the symbol of authority. A mace is now commonly used by governments and by institutions of higher learning in ceremonial proces- sion. The Whittier College mace was designed and made by Mr. Wilbur Fenner, of the College Art Department. Program
