THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ACADEMIC MACE
AND THE OFFICIAL MEDALLION

Observing the centuries.old convocation procedures, each Marshal in the Savan-
nah State College Academic Procession carries an official mace which is indicative
of the power, dignity, and magisterium vested in the College. The mace is a club-
shaped staff which originated in the Middle Ages as a weapon. Eventually, it gained
a ceremonial character and is presently employed most often by legislative forums
and academic enterprises.

The official mace of Savannah State College was designed and made from ma-
hogany wood by Mr. Ernest S. Brown, Instructor of Industrial Arts. Dr. Lester
B. Johnson, Head of the Department of Engineering Technology, designed and built
the Mace Stand.

It is significant to note that the mace bears the official seal of the College and
the motto of President Prince A. Jackson, Jr., "Lux Et Veritas" ("Light and Truth"),
which is his conception of what Savannah State College should be, must be, and is
to all individuals associated with her. Dr. Jackson also wears a silver medallion
which bears the official seal of the College and symbolizes the Office of the President.

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE HYMN

Let us give thanks and praise to Thee,
To our A I ma Mater, S. S. C.
Thine honor, pride, and eminence,
We raise in prayerful reverence.

Guide us still from day to day,
Be Thou mindful lest we lose our way;
Help us know that life, short or long,
Means unceasing work for weak and strong.

REFRAIN

Where Savannah meets the sea,

Where grassy plains and palms abound,

Where the flow' rs are gems of loveliness,

There S.S.C. is found.

We adore each beauteous scene and hall,

Our all we pledge to Thee!

In our hearts we'll build a shrine for Thee.

We hail Thee, S.S.C.

ACADEMIC COSTUMES

Modern academic dress has evolved from a type of apparel prescribed by English Medieval
Universities to distinguish their schools from the lay person in dress at a time when everybody
wore robes or gowns. When American colleges and universities desired to adopt tome suitable
system of academic apparel a half century ago it seemed best to agree on tome definite system
which all might follow. Accordingly, this attire has consisted of the cap, the gown, and the hood,
the latter two now differing according to the degree the wearer has received.

The modern cap, in academic dress has the same design for all degrees; black and square-
shaped with a tassel hanging from the center. However, the color of the tassel usually differentiates
the field of study for which the degree was granted, the gold tassel being worn by doctors or by
presidents of colleges and universities; but it may be added that the black tassel is correct for
all degrees.

The gown, unlike the cap, differs appreciably in design according to the degree conferred
on the wearer. The gown for the bachelor's degree has pointed sleeves. It is designed to be worn
closed. The gown for the master's degree, worn open or closed has an oblong sleeve, open at the
wrist, like the others. The sleeve base hangs down in the tradiiional manner. The rear part
of its oblong shape is square cut and the front part has an arc cut away. The doctor's gown, worn
open or closed, has long sleeves faced with velvet; three bars of velvet are midway the sleeves.
The trimmings of the doctor's gown may be black or the coIot associated with the field of study.

The hood, while not an article of dress, is, however, the most distinctive feature of the aca-
demic attire. It is a black, crow-shaped badge or adornment with an oval opening and worn down
the back. It enables one to quickly determine not only the degree held by the wearer but also the
college or university from which he is graduated. The colors lining the hood and the size and
shape of the hood make this distinction. The bachelor's and master's hoods are three feet and
three and a half feet in length, respectively; the doctor's hood is four feet in length and is made
with a wide panel. Hoods may be worn for only those degrees actually held by the wearers.

Members of the governing body of a college or university, and they only, whatever their
degrees may be, are entitled to wear doctor's gowns (with black velvet), but their hoods may
be only those of degrees actually held by the wearers or those, especially prescribed for them
by the institution.

In some colleges and universities, it is customary for the president, chancellor, or chief officer
to wear a costume similar to that worn by the head of a foreign university.

The chief marshal may wear a specially designed costume approved by the institution.

For all academic purposes, including trimmings of doctor's gowns, edging of hoods, and
tassels of caps, the color associated with different subjects as prescribed by the revised American
Intercollegiate Code is as follows:

Agriculture Maise

Arts, Letters, Humanities White

Business Drab

Economics Copper

Education Light Blue

Law Purple

Library Science Lemon

Music Pink

Oratory (Speech) Silver Gray

Philosophy Dark Blue

Physical Education Sage Green

Science, Golden Yellow

Theology Scarlet

At Savannah State College, the lining of the hood has an orange chevron on a blue back-
ground to represent school colors. A faculty member wears the color of his alma mater.
