142nd ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT
DECEMBER 15, 2018 CEREMONIAL MACE
The ceremonial mace, a decorated staff carried in the commencement procession, is a symbol within a symbol. It denotes the right of the university administration to confer degrees on its graduates. The presence of a mace in ceremonial processions dates to the Middle Ages. The earliest maces were practical items, carried by sergeants-at-arms as part of the royal bodyguards’ means of protecting the king and as a symbol of his authority. In time, the mace was adapted to civic use and represented leadership. No longer a weapon, the mace became a work of art, decorated with precious metals and often bearing the seal of the city or university it represented. Universities began incorporating a mace into their ceremonies as early as the 15th century. In the United States, most universities continue the tradition and incorporate a ceremonial mace into commencement exercises. At SIU, the mace is very much a product of the university as well as representative of it. Professor Richard Smith, blacksmith and faculty member in the School of Art and Design, was commissioned to create a mace to debut in 2013. He turned to professor emeritus Richard Mawdsley, silversmith, to complete the project. He also enlisted the assistance of alumna Erin Dixon; assistant professor Sun Kyoung Kim; graduate student Patrick Quinn; and undergraduate students Timothy Schaeffer and Daniel Widolff – all from the School of Art and Design. The mace, constructed of Damascus steel and silver, is 42 inches tall and 1¼ inches wide at its widest point. Design elements incorporate architectural references to Old Main – a campus building when SIU was the brand-new Southern Illinois Normal University, a teachers college, in 1874. Though Old Main was destroyed by fire in 1969, it holds a special place in the collective memory of the university. 142nd ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT

“The Star-Spangled “Southern Alma Mater”
Banner” Lyrics and music by Grover Clarke Morgan Written as a sophomore while attending SIU Carbondale in 1934. Lyrics by Francis Scott Key, 1814. Music by John Stafford Smith, 1780
O say can you see, And the rocket’s red glare, Hail Alma Mater By the dawn’s early light, The bombs bursting in air, Southern to thee What so proudly we hailed Gave proof through the night Strong thru the years you At the twilight’s last gleaming? That our flag was still there. stand triumphantly Whose broad stripes and bright stars, O say does that star-spangled Beacon to guide us Through the perilous fight, banner yet wave Over life’s sea O’er the ramparts we watched, O’er the land of the free Light that can never fail us Were so gallantly streaming? And the home of the brave? Hail, Hail to thee

Academic dress and accoutrements of this type have been used in the United States since colonial times. To maintain tradition and the conformity of academic symbols, little has changed in the symbolism of pattern and color since the Middle Ages. In 1895 an intercollegiate commission in the United States adopted a standardized code for the use of academic gowns, hoods and caps, which included regulating the cut, style and materials of gowns. In addition, colors, which were to represent the different fields of learning, were prescribed. Over the years, only minor revisions have been made to the code, which is followed by the majority of colleges and universities in America, including Southern Illinois University Carbondale. GOWNS HOODS CAPS AND TASSELS The bachelor’s gown is a comparatively simple Historically, the academic hood was literally The mortarboard is the cap generally worn with style that falls in straight lines from an elaborate a garment to protect the wearer from foul academic regalia.
