The table and seats symbolize the negotiation and decision making which are part of all management. The table is divided, with the top half in gold and bottom half in silver. The colors and division represent the dual mission of the school in the public and private sectors. The eight seats alternate between gold and silver to symbolize the interaction of these sectors on com- mon problems. The number eight is a traditional religious symbol for both fulfillment and rejuvenation. The green field on which the table rests traditionally symbolizes rebirth as well as growth. The open book, seen on all Yale University coats-of-arms, is identified through the Hebrew characters as the Bible. The inscription Urim and Thummin refers to the names of sacred lots, cast for the pur- pose of ascertaining the divine will. When the Old Testament was translated into Greek in the third century B.C., the literal meaning of the terms was no longer clear. Several different words were used to translate them. Among the ancient renderings given were “Light” and “Truth”—hence, Yale’s familiar Lux et Veritas. The words Novus Ordo Seclorum (a New Order of the Ages) appear on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States. These words from Virgil characterized the hopes and ambitions of the na- tion’s founders as they embarked on a new era as a republic.

Ceremonial The ceremonial mace of the Yale School of Management symboliz- es management’s role in creating coherence, harmony, and purpose Mace in a dynamic and increasingly complex world. Its design suggests the inherent potential for managerial contribution through intel- ligent and humane thought and action. Reflecting a transformation through combined effort from natural disorder to evolved purpose, the unusual curve of the American black walnut shaft implies a process of organization and refinement as it gradually changes in size and shape along its length. As the shaft nears its apex, six elements formed from New England hardwoods emerge into a hexagonal cross-section. These six diverse personalities—represented by ash, beech, cherry, maple, red oak, and white oak—support and underpin the culmination of the mace in a sphere of bird’s-eye maple. The sphere’s regular and solid shape presents the strong and fully formed product of a suc- cessful collaborative and analytic process. The silver plates embedded in the sphere and surrounding the shaft have been taken from the original SOM mace and represent continuity in the life of the school and in its mission.
