Convocation at Carleton University
TheConvocationceremony(thecalling togetheroftheacademic assembly)
hasitsrootsin university traditionsofmedieval Europe.
The Mace
The maceisa staffsymbolizingauthority. In the daysofknighthood, it wasa
weapon,butafterthe 16th century it becamesolelya symbol ofauthority
carried bya distinguished memberofan assembly. It isused on ceremonial
occasions to sign—ify the right ofan individual or institution to perform a
certain function in thecaseofuniversities, to grant degrees.
AtConvocation, themace iscarried ahead of the Chancellorassheentersand
leaveseachceremony. (Marshal ofConvocation H.H.J. Nesbitthas performed
this function forall butoneofthe University'sConvocations.) During the
ceremony themaceisdisplayed on a special stand asan embodiment ofthe
authorityoftheUniversity.
Carleton'smacewaspresented to the Universityin 1976asagift from the
Chairof the Board ofGovernorsat that rime, Mr. Hyman Soloway. Itisa
silver-plated staffapproximately threefeet long. At theupperend there is a
bowl marked with the—University'scoatofarmsand the University motto in
both Latin and English "Opera Nobis Aeterna" and "Ours theTask
Eternal." From theupperportion of thebowl risesa phoenix. Traditional
oak leaves surround thelowerend ofthe staff.
CoatofArms
Carleton University'scoat ofarmsisdescribed in heraldic termsas follows:
"On a field sable;—in radiantsd'argent,a maple leafgulescharged with an
openbook;crest a phoenix propre." It iscomprised ofa black shield bearing
anopenbookona red mapleleafsurrounded by silverrays. The shield is
surmounted bya phoenix, and below the shield isa scroll bearing the motto
"Ours theTask Eternal."
Theopenbookon themapleleafsignifies thatCarleton University isin the
nation'scapital and thatlearning isopen toall who wish to partakeofit. The
radiantsare thelight oflearning. Thephoenix, thelegendary eternal bird,
symbolizestherenewingoflearning from older foundations, in recognition of
Henry Marshall Tory'srolein thefoundingofthe University when he was82
yearsold. "Ours theTask Eternal" istaken froma Walt Whitman poem
entitled "Pioneers" and tiesin with theeternal qualityofthephoenix.
And so, theCarleton University coatofarms symbolizessound learning,
good citizenship, and thehighest hopesofhumanity.
