Convocation at Carleton University TheConvocation ceremony (thecalling together of the academic assembly) has its roots in university traditions ofmedieval Europe. The Mace The maceis a staffsymbolizing authority. In the days ofknighthood, it wasa weapon, but after the 16thcentury it became solely a symbol ofauthority carried by a distinguished member ofan assembly. It is used onceremonial occasions to signify the right ofan individual or institution to perform a — certain function in thecaseofuniversities, to grant degrees. AtConvocation, the maceis carried ahead ofthe Chancellor as he enters and leaveseachceremony. (Marshal ofConvocation H.H.J. Nesbitt has performed this function forall butone ofthe University'sConvocations.) During the ceremony the mace is displayed ona special stand asan embodiment ofthe authority oftheUniversity. Carleton's mace was presented to the University in 1976asa gift from the Chairman ofthe Board ofGovernors at that time, Mr. HymanSoloway. Itis a silver-plated staffapproximately three feet long. At the upperend there is a bowl marked with the U—niversity'scoat ofarms and the University motto in both Latinand English "Opera Nobis Aeterna" and "Ours theTask Eternal." From the upper portionofthe bowl rises a phoenix. Traditional oak leaves surround the lower end ofthestaff. Coat of Arms Carleton University's coatofarms is described in heraldic terms as follows: "On a field sable;in radiants d'argent, a maple leafgulescharged withan — openbook; crest a phoenix propre." Itis comprised ofa blackshield bearing anopen bookon a red maple leafsurrounded by silver rays. The shield is surmounted bya phoenix, and below the shield is a scroll bearing the motto "Ours the Task Eternal." The open book on the maple leafsignifies that Carleton University is in the nation's capital and that learning is open to all who wish to partake ofit. The radiants are the light oflearning. The phoenix, the legendaryeternal bird, symbolizes the renewing oflearning from older foundations, inrecognition of Henry Marshall Tory's rolein the foundingofthe University when he was 82 years old. "Ours theTask Eternal" is taken from a WaltWhitmanpoem entitled "Pioneers" and tiesin with theeternal quality ofthe phoenix. And so, theCarleton Universitycoat ofarms symbolizessound learning, good citizenship, and the highest hopes ofhumanity.
