Much History Engraved in SU Mace

The Susquehanna University Mace was presented by the school on May 30, 1966 and is a gift of the Class of 1963. The Mace, and the President's Seal of Office, were designed and fabricated by Hurst, Franklin & Co., Ltd., metalsmiths of London, England.

The mace stands forty-two inches high and its overall shape is derived from the ancient mace, which represented the power of the bishop in battle during the middle ages. The shaft is of ebony, thought to be the most precious of woods and therefore a symbol of excellence. This ebony shaft is partially covered with three sterling silver bands, which are decorated with raised rings. The lower mount is gilded. At the head of the mace is a large silver bowl signifying the victory of knowledge over ignorance. Over this is the University Seal in gilt and enamel and fastened to the bowl by four fluted straps in a cruciform pattern. On the outer surface are engraved designs; symbols of the University's heritage. Circling the bowl are the words "Ad Gloriam Maiorem Dei", that is, "To the Greater Glory of God", which is the motto of Susquehanna. Under the motto is a wavy line representing the Susquehanna River, which gave the University its name. There are thirty-two stars, standing for the number of states in the Union in 1858, the date of the founding of the University. Four roundels depict: (1) The Itinerant Preacher, representing the beginnings of the Lutheran Church in Central Pennsylvania; (2) The Seal of the State of Pennsylvania; (3) Selinsgrove Hall, the original building of the Missionary Institute, which in 1885 changed its name to Susquehanna University; and (4) Martin Luther's Coat-of- Arms.

The ceremonial mace, once a symbol of power in medieval times, now connotates authority and academic freedom, as well as a striving for perfection symbolized by the mace as an art form.

The President's Seal and Chain, presented to Susquehanna five years ago by the Class of 1963, is worn by Dr. Weber when he presides over official academic ceremonies. Created by Hurst, Franklin & Co., Ltd., metalsmiths of London, the Seal and Chain are made of Sterling silver backed with velvet ribbon and illuminated with gild and enamel. The President's Seal is distinguished from the University Seal by its superimposition on a cross formee. The reverse of the Chain links are engraved with the names of all eleven Susquehanna Presidents.
