THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDALLION
The Presidential Medallion is the official insignia of the President’s Office and is worn at commencement and other ceremonial occasions. It was a gift to the university from the Student Senate and Activities Board of the Consolidated Students of the University (CSUN).
Cast of sterling silver, the medallion embodies the official seal of the State of Nevada. Links of the chain carry the names of the current and former presidents of the University with their terms of office and symbolize the continuity of responsibility in the office.
CENTENNIAL MEDALLION
The Nevada Centennial Medallion is presented annually to the graduating senior earning the highest four-year scholastic average at UNLV. Due to the early date of commencement this year, it is impossible to determine by the time of the ceremony the name of the student who has achieved this award.
However, as soon as all grades have been checked and verified, the 1975 recipient will be identified and presented the medallion at a special ceremony in the office of the President.
One-hundred-and-one medallions were given to the university by the Rotary Club of Las Vegas at the time of the state’s centennial celebration in 1964. The last medallion will be awarded in 2064 in the year of Nevada’s two hundredth birthday.
THE UNLV MACE
The University Mace, which has its traditions deeply rooted in history, is carried on ceremonial occasions at the head of the academic procession by the Grand Marshal, whose symbolic duty is the protection of the University, its persons and its processes.
Originally a weapon, the earliest maces were made of iron and were capable of breaking armor. Bishops, forbidden by canon law to bear swords, sometimes took the mace with them into battle. The mace consisted of a long club with a ball of iron, steel or brass at one end, and was used in warfare as late as the 16th century.
The mace’s use as an instrument of ceremony, however, began about the year 1250 in England and France, and is still used widely today in university commencement programs as well as in governmental ceremonies.
The UNLV Mace has been cast from polished metal and features a black hardwood staff. Facets of the cubical top embody the University’s seal; a symbolic depiction of the Statue of Liberty; a likeness of Renaissance scholar Leonardo da Vinci representing the integration of knowledge from many fields; and a shelf of books flanked by artists’ brushes.
The mace bearer today is Dr. John Wright, professor of history, one of theSUniversity’s longest-tenured faculty members.
HIGH DISTINCTION
High Distinction is accorded each graduating senior whose grade-point average is 3.75 or higher. Distinction is bestowed upon seniors who graduate with an overall average between 3.50 and 3.75. These designations in the commencement program have been based on seven semesters of academic accomplishment, since final grades have not yet been tabulated. Students achieving the mark of Distinction or High Distinction during their final semester’s work will have this honor indicated on their diplomas and final transcripts.
ACADEMIC DRESS
The history of academic dress reaches far back into the early days of the oldest universities. It appears that academic clothing was first introduced and worn at Cambridge and Oxford Universities in the thirteenth century.
The European custom was carried to America with the establishment of our own colleges and universities. In 1895 an academic code of dress was adopted and the standards accepted by most of the colleges and universities in the United States. Today, the black robe, hood and cap are generally worn.
Three different types of black gowns may be distinguished in the academic procession. The bachelors’ gowns have long pointed sleeves; the masters’ gowns have oblong sleeves with an arc cut away in the front. The doctors’ gowns are faced with velvet and have bell-shaped sleeves with three bars of velvet.
The Oxford cap, the so-called mortarboard, is black and has a long tassel fastened to the middle of the top that is worn pendant over the left front of the cap. The hood, draped from the shoulders, denotes by its length and colors the degree and the institution which conferred the degree.
