the newberry memorial organ, woolsey hall Built in 1901 by the Hutchings-Votey Organ Company of Boston, Massachusetts, the Newberry Memorial Organ was improved mechanically and almost doubled in size in 1915 and was then rebuilt and greatly enlarged in 1928. One of the largest, most outstanding, and beautiful instruments of this period, it is kept in excellent playing condition and is used throughout the academic year for recitals and concerts. The organ has 12,617 pipes in a three-story chamber. An “echo room” in the basement of Woolsey Hall has 700 additional pipes of zinc, lead, and sugar pine, producing tones that sound like horns, flutes, and whistles. The instrument, which requires tuning three times a year due to changes in humidity and temperature, is powered by two 20-horsepower motors. the shield of the graduate school of arts and sciences The design for the Graduate School shield was drawn by Yale art professor Theodore Sizer and approved by the University. Four themes are symbolized in the arms of the School. The background of the “chief” (the place of honor) is Yale blue, with Roman numerals in white representing 1847, the year of the founding of the Department of Philosophy and the Arts, the earliest formal organization for graduate study at Yale and, in fact, in the entire United States. Below, on a white background, is a black Y-shaped device representing the “pallium,” a garment worn by philosophers in ancient Rome, and frequently used as a symbol for Yale. The three red crosses are derived from the arms of Bishop George Berkeley, who established in 1732 an endowment for Yale College graduates “reading for the second degree.” These were the first scholarships exclusively for graduate study at Yale. the mace of the graduate school of arts and sciences The mace is carried at the head of ceremonial processions by the School’s marshal and displayed at such events as the annual Matriculation ceremony, awards Convocation, and Commencement. The shaft of the mace is turned red mahogany. Inset near the top of the shaft on two sides is the shield of the Graduate School, rendered in cloisonné-enameled metal. For description of the shield, see above. The shaft is topped by a disk of grained red and black macasser ebony, on which sits a large, faceted crystal orb, the chief design element of the mace. The orb symbolizes several characteristics of advanced study in the arts and sciences. The global shape suggests the ambition of advanced study to be comprehensive in its inquiry. The transparent clarity of the fine Austrian lead crystal of which the orb is made alludes to the motto of Yale University, Lux et Veritas, and to the enlightenment that scholars seek in their research and teaching. Finally, the many facets of the orb symbolize the complexity of advanced learning in the arts and sciences and the importance of approaching its subjects from many intellectual directions. In addition to the large ceremonial school mace described above, there are four smaller maces that are carried by faculty and staff marshals. These marshals’ batons each have a similarly turned shaft of mahogany. At their tops is a single enameled shield.
