NJCU Ceremony The NJCU Ceremonial Mace

The University Colors

“The Mace represents the home of learning surrounded by the human quest for discovery. It is an androgynous figure stretching around ancient pillars towards a crystal sphere of knowledge slightly clouded with mystery and still to be discovered universal magic. The Mace is crowned with a neogothic cluster symbolizing the power of creative passions in the service of universal peace. It is a scepter of our urban mission: bringing people together to challenge their future.”

“Green and gold are our University’s colors. In 1933, a flower garden graced a wide expanse of lawn between Hepburn Hall and the Boulevard. Mr. Otto Cordes, director of the Maintenance Department, took special pride in the yellow jonquils he planted.

Mathematics Professor Foster Grossnickle, himself an amateur flower gardener, shared a love of the gardens with Otto. One day, admiring the gardens in full bloom, Otto remarked about the breathtaking contrast of the yellow jonquils and the deep green lawn. ‘Green and gold,’ he said. Foster liked the sound of this...and so our University’s colors were born.”

Artist’s statement by Herb Rosenberg, M.F.A., retired professor of art, who created the Mace in 1987

This historical sketch was related to Dr. Will Hayes ’36, who was a close friend of Mr. Cordes and Dr. Grossnickle

The National Anthem The Star-Spangled Banner Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Francis Scott Key, 1814

Gonfalons The history of the gonfalon can be traced back to the medieval republics of Italy. A gonfalon was a type of flag or banner emblazoned with the personal coat of arms of a nobleman and borne on a staff. Noblemen would hang their family gonfalon from their horses as they rode into battle.

In time, the gonfalon would hang from a crosspiece or frame as an ensign of state or high office. They were carried in medieval parades where the coats of arms of legion commanders were presented and used as rallying points in battle.

Gonfalons have been associated with pageantry for centuries.

Alma Mater Green and Gold, we honor thee, Symbol of our aim.

Lead us onward to thy goal Ever for thy fame.
