The mace carried today at the head of the processional is a historical symbol of authority and a common feature of academic occasions. Maces are typically made of wood or metal and are customized to incorporate symbols reflecting the institution's values or history. The design of 哥伦比亚大学’s mace began in the mid-1980s. It was presented to 哥伦比亚大学 on May 4, 1993, in honor of the former president, 拉尔夫·托马斯·米尔斯. Our mace incorporates wood and two metals to give the mace substance and heft. Symbols on 哥伦比亚大学’s mace include the college seal and logo and the logo of the United Methodist Church.
The use of academic regalia can be traced to Medieval European universities, where it was worn to distinguish scholars from the rest of the population. The apparel had an ornamental as well as a utilitarian function. The regalia signified the degree or degrees a person owned, where the highest degree was earned, and what discipline the person had studied. The bachelor’s gown is designed to be worn closed and has pointed sleeves. The master’s gown may be worn open or closed and has a hood and oblong sleeves. The doctor’s gown may be worn open or closed and has a hood and bell-shaped sleeves. The doctor’s gown is trimmed in black velvet with three bars on the sleeves. The master’s hood is three and one-half feet long; the doctor’s is four feet long. The trim of the hood is in the color of the subject in which the degree was earned. The square-topped cap is called a mortarboard. The tassel is fastened in the center of the cap and is worn to the left. It may be black or the color of the subject. If it represents a doctoral degree, it is usually gold.
