Stuart Wyatt THE MACE During the Medieval Period, the mace-made of wood and shod with metal -was an effective military weapon. Later, as new weapons developed, it be­ came a symbol of authority. The earliest ceremonial maces were borne by the bodyguards of Richard I of and Phillip II of . Their use by cities and towns in England had become widespread by the end of the sixteenth cen­ tury. Among the maces in use today are those in the British Houses of Parlia­ ment, those carried before ecclesiastical dignitaries, and those of universities. The mace symbolizes the authority of the President of the University. The mace which leads today's Inaugural Procession is making its first appear­ ance at an official function of Illinois Wesleyan University. It was designed and created by Mr. Tony Vestuto, Assistant Professor of Art. It is made of bronze and walnut-the bronze for power and endurance and the walnut for organic strength. On the top is a cupola representing the bell tower of "Old North", the first build­ ing on Wesleyan's campus. The bell inside the cupola represents "Hedding Bell" located across from the John Wesley Powell monument. The cupola and bell together symbolize the union of Illinois Wesleyan University and Hedding Col­ lege in 1930. On the cylindrical base below the cupola, the names of Wesleyan's Presidents are engraved in chronological order. The wood from which the staff is made came from a piece of walnut timber that was salvaged when "Old North" was razed in 1966.

THE INAUGURAL FANFARE The "Fanfare for an Inaugural" was composed especially for this occasion by R. Bedford Watkins, Professor of Piano in the School of Music.

PRESIDENTIAL MEDALLION The gold plated sterling silver medallion with which the President is invested during the Inauguration is the emblem of his office worn on all academic and ceremonial occasions. It is a reproduction of the seal of the University which was designed in 1866 by two faculty members: Professor Jabez R. Jaques and Pro­ fessor John Wesley Powell. The Presidential Medallion is a gift from the Alumni Association and was worn for the first time by President Lloyd Bertholf during e graduation exercises in June, 1966. Engraved upon each of the lower links the chain is ihe nan1e of one of Wesleyan's presidents with the date of his These links are in chronological order moving up both sides of the chain the medallion.

E ACADEMIC ATTIRE In accordance with a code adopted by colleges and universities in the United at the end of the nineteenth century, the academic costume indicates the field, the highest degree held by its wearer, and the university which the degree. The standard gown is black and the patterns vary with the held. The doctor's gown is cut much fuller than the others and is marked ;:vet pan:ls _down ~he front, around the neck, and on the sleeves. • hood 1s lmed w1th the colors of the university which granted the degree. color used in the border of the hood indicates the subject of the degree. The cap is the black mortarboard. The doctor's cap usually has a gold tassel. s and bachelor's tassel is often black but in recent years it has be- CUitomary Ia use colored tassels symbolizing, lik'e the hood, the ~ubject area the wearer has taken his degree.

ALMA WESLEY ANA From hearts aflame our love we pledge to thee, Where'er we wander, over land or sea. Through time unending, loyal we will be, True to our Alma Mater, Wesleyan.

When college days are fully past and gone, While life endures from twilight dream 'til dawn, Grandly thy soul shall with us linger on, Star-crowned, our Alma Mater, Wesleyan.

(Words by Dr. W. E. Schultz)
