Carleton University The Convocation ceremony (the calling together of the academic assembly)
Convocation has itsroots in university traditions ofmedieval Europe.
The Mace
I he mace is a stall symbolizing authority. In the days of knighthood, it was a
weapon, but after the 16thcenturyit became solely a symbol ofauthority
carried by a distinguished member ofan assembly. Itis used on ceremonial
occasions to signify the right ofan individual orinstitution to performa certain
—
function in thecase ofuniversities, to grantdegrees.
AtConvocation, the maceis carried ahead oftheChancellor as heenters and
leaves eachceremony. (Marshal ofConvocationH.H.J. Nesbitt has performed
this function forall but oneofthe University'sConvocations.) During the
ceremony the mace is displayed ona special stand as anembodiment ofthe
authority of the University.
Carleton's mace was presented to the University in 1976 asa gift from the Chair
ofthe Board ofGovernors at that time, Mr. HymanSoloway. It isa silver-plated
staffapproximately three feet long. At theupper end thereis a bowl marked
with the—University's original crest and the University motto inbothLatin and
English "Opera Nobis Aeterna" and "Ours theTask Eternal." From theupper
portion ofthebowl rises a phoenix. Traditional oak leaves surround the lower
end ofthestaff.
Coat ofArms
The coat of arms was presented to the University by His Excellency The Right
HonourableRamonJohnHnatyshyn,GovernorGeneralofCanada,onNovember
15, 1992 as part of Carleton's 50th anniversary celebrations. It is described in
heraldic termsasfollows: "Sablea mapleleafGulesirradiated and charged with
an open book Argent; And for a Crest: on a wreath Argent Sable and Gules a
PhoenixGulesquilledandbeakedOrissuingfromflamesproper;AndforaMotto:
OurstheTaskEternal;AndforSupporters: onagrassymountoneithersidearaven
Sable beaked and membered or armed Gules."
TheopenbookonthemapleleafsignifiesthatCarletonUniversityisinthenation's
capitaland thatlearningisopen toallwhowishtopartakeofit. Thephoenix,the
legendary eternal bird, symbolizes the renewing of learning from older founda-
tions,inrecognitionofHenryMarshallTory'sroleinthefoundingoftheUniversity
whenhewas82yearsold. "Ours theTaskEternal" istakenfromaWaltWhitman
poem entitled "Pioneers" and tiesinwith the eternalquality ofthe phoenix.
And so, the Carleton University coat of arms symbolizes sound learning, good
citizenship, and the highest hopes ofhumanity.
The Diploma
The diploma thegraduates receiveatConvocationis thecertificateof
qualification whichpublishes the fact that thestudent has fulfilled all the
requirements and completed the prescribed courseofstudy for the degree. As
the senioracademic legislativebody oftheUniversity, itis the Senatewhich has
determined whether the requirements havebeen met. Thesignatures ofboth
the Chancellorand the President ofthe University appear on thediploma: the
Chancellorbecause ofhis rolein conferring the degree, and the Presidentwho,
asChair ofSenate, certifies thatSenate has enacted the required motion to
award thedegree. TheSeal oftheUniversity is affixed to the diploma asa mark
ofauthentication.
Academic Dress
The academic dressofCarleton University results from a compromisebetween
that found in the ancient foundations ofBritainand Canada and the American
— —
Intercollegiate Code. All three hoods bachelor's, master's, and doctoral are
of the simpleor Oxford shape. The bachelor's hood is made ofblack stuff; the
master's and doctoral are made ofblacksilk and all are lined withsilversilk
with two chevrons, one ofred and oneofblack. From bachelor's to doctoral,
the hoodsare progressively longer and opened to show moreand moreofthe
lining.
The velvetborderof the hoods denotes the degrees granted according to the
following colour combinations: architecture is cerise; arts is white; commerce is
camel brown; computer scienceis royal blue; engineering is orange; industrial
design is dark cardinal;journalism is white with a blackcord sewnslightly in
from the lowerborder; management studies is camel brownwitha black cord
sewn slightly in from the lowerborder; music is Venetian pink; public
administration is peacockblue; science is golden yellow; social work is cream;
and doctorofphilosophy is purple.
The bachelor's gown, to be worn with the above hoods, is of full length, made of
black stuff, with a gathered yoke behind, and long open-fronted sleeves. The
master's gown is offull style, made ofblack silk or rayon, witha full gathered
yoke behind, and closed sleeves withan opening at the elbows. The doctoral
gown is ofthesamestyleas the master's, but made offine royal blue cloth with
facings oflight bluesilk.
The two shades ofblue in the doctoral gown are those of the United Nations,
and are meant to recognize the University's long-standing interest, from its
earliest years, in international affairs and issues. The colours were chosen when
the University awarded its first honorary degree, in 1954, to the second
Secretary General of the United Nations, the late Dag Hammarskjold. The
tradition ofawarding honorary degrees to SecretariesGeneral ofthe United
Nations has continued since that time.
The gownof the Honorary DoctorofLaws, Literature, Science, Engineering,
Architecture, or Fine Arts isa full robe with bell-shaped sleeves. It is madeof
fine royal blue cloth with facings and sleeves in lightblue silk. The hood is
made of the same material as the gown, has the same lining as that for the
degreesby examination, and is bordered with dark mauve for the degreeof
Doctor ofLaws; vibrant blue for thedegree of DoctorofLiterature; red for the
degreeofDoctor ofScience; orange for the degree ofDoctor of Engineering;
cerise for thedegree of Doctor ofArchitecture; and darkcardinal for the degree
ofDoctor of Fine Arts.
