[8] PRESIDENTIAL MEDALLION

The Presidential Medallion is the official symbol of the Office of the President at Rogers State University. Traditionally, the medallion is bestowed upon a new President to represent a transfer of the responsibility of office and an obligation to promote and maintain the values and ideals represented by the institution.

The medallion features the official RSU seal, which was designed in 1999 shortly after the Oklahoma Legislature renamed the institution Rogers State University and provided it with a new mission to seek accreditation as a four-year university. The university received accreditation as a baccalaureate degree granting institution in 2000 from the Higher Learning Commission.

The official RSU seal features the name of the institution at the top and the university’s credo and guiding principles, Tradition, Innovation and Excellence, on the lower oval. In the middle is a representational drawing of iconic Preparatory Hall, the first building erected on the Claremore campus in 1911, two years after the institution was founded in 1909.

The seal was designed by Kate Northcutt, M.S.

[11] The Mace

The mace symbolizes the authority of the faculty in academic matters and the practice of shared governance within the university. During the Middle Ages, the mace was an effective weapon in battle. As newer and more powerful arms were developed, its military significance diminished and it was transformed into a symbol of authority. The earliest ceremonial maces were borne by bodyguards of the 12th century English and French kings. By the end of the 16th century, they were used widely by officials of English cities and towns. Today, the use of the ceremonial mace is found in the British Houses of Parliament and it is carried before ecclesiastical dignitaries and in university ceremonies.

Mace Bearer

Carrying the mace has long been a commencement tradition at Rogers State University.

Each year, a veteran faculty member bears the mace. This year, Dr. Hugh Foley, Professor of Fine Arts, assumes this honor.

The mace is a six-foot walnut staff featuring the gold dome of Preparatory Hall at the top and the university seal on four sides. Five stripes at its base signify the institution’s various incarnations, including the Oklahoma Military Academy and the present-day university.

The mace was designed by Gary Moeller, Emeritus Professor of Fine Arts, and was crafted by Jerry Emanuel, a Claremore artist.
