Much later, the mace became of ceremonial rather than practical significance and organisations such as civic corporations and universities adopted the mace as a symbol of the rule of legal authority. The University’s mace is displayed at meetings of the University Council and on such ceremonial occasions as conferring ceremonies. The bearer of the mace, in academic processions, ‘guards’ the Chancellor. Deakin’s mace was presented to the University by Mr Donald Thomson, Sir Wilfred Brookes and Mr Norman Stephen (Alcoa Australia).
