“AS YOU LEAVE THESE
HALLOWED HALLS,
REMEMBER THAT AS
MAVERICKS WE STRIVE
FOR WHAT OTHERS
MAY CONSIDER IMPOSSIBLE.
SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND
REACH FOR THE STARS. NEVER
BE SCARED OF STRETCHING
BEYOND YOUR BOUNDS—YOUR
ABILITIES ARE CONSTRAINED
ONLY BY THE LIMITS YOU
SET FOR YOURSELF.”

Commencement Mace
Academic Dress
Maces, a symbolic staff of high office, are often traditional elements
in academic processions. The University of Texas at Arlington’s
mace, designed and created in 2007 by Texas State Artist and
Professor David Keens with the assistance of Metal Art Adjunct
Professor Fred Miller, is distinctly non-traditional. The UTA mace
is an undulating, artistic design of metal and glass that reflects the
traditional symbols of academia in a dynamic and contemporary
way. Almost completely made of clear glass, it is only upon closer
observation that the University’s colors are seen in glass below
the round, etched-metal University seal. Surrounding the seal is a
contemporary wreath design in transparent glass symbolizing the
pursuit of higher education. Below the seal, wreath, and colored
glass is a forged metal contemporary nest. Below the nest is a
transition into the past with etched transparent glass depictions
of the institution’s past names: what Keens calls an ethereal space
of time past. All of these sections rest on a long, swirled-glass,
undulating tendril, reflecting the linear flow of time. It is a tangible
image of history, prestige, formality, creativity, innovation, and the
uniqueness of UTA.
Each academic unit designates a commencement marshal who
will carry the mace at the head of the processional, symbolizing
the official nature of the event. When the processional reaches the
platform, the mace will be placed at the right of the podium as a
visual reminder of the history of this traditional academic ceremony.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies, the marshal will retrieve the
mace from its holder and carry it at the head of the recessional.
Following today’s ceremony, the mace will be displayed in the
Office of the President until the next commencement.
The tradition of the academic costume apparently began during
the 12th or 13th century in early European universities. At that
time, the clergy composed the majority of the educated class, so
academic dress is an adaptation of the cape or mantle—usually made
of silk or wool—worn by church dignitaries in religious processions.
Through the years, great diversity in color and in style of cap,
gown, and hood developed. In 1896, the colleges and universities
in the United States adopted a uniform code governing academic
dress. Today, the black gown, hood, and mortar board worn by the
graduates in most institutions follow this code. Most universities do
not use the hood for those graduates receiving bachelor’s degrees.
While it is not apparent to the casual observer, the gowns worn
by the recipients of the various degrees vary somewhat in design.
The sleeves of the gowns worn by the baccalaureate candidates
are long and pointed, while the sleeves of the gowns worn by the
master’s degree recipients are square at one end with a slit at the
elbow. The doctoral gown has flowing sleeves with three bars of
velvet and a facing of velvet on the front of the gown.
Colors used on the hoods serve as identification for the degree.
The hood of the doctoral candidate differs in design from that of
the master’s as it has side panels and is slightly longer. The velvet
border of the hood indicates the degree and usually follows the
same code as the color of the tassels.
The oxford cap, usually referred to as a mortar board, is black
and has a long tassel that is fastened by a button on the top. The
tassel is usually worn over the left of the cap. The color of the tassel
on the cap indicates the degree.
