The Graduation Ceremony THE MACE

HONOURS

The Mace is the symbol of formal authority. The Mace used today belongs to the University of Newcastle and was designed by gold and silversmith, Gerald Benney. It is made of Australian walnut and silver and its head represents an open book – the traditional symbol of learning. The Mace was a gift from the University of New South Wales to commemorate the establishment of the University of Newcastle as an autonomous institution on 1 January 1965. It is always borne ahead of the Chancellor in the academic procession during formal ceremonies such as today’s presentation of academic awards.

The award of Honours is given to students who complete an additional year of study after the completion of a Bachelor’s degree. Some Bachelor’s degrees, such as engineering or education, have Honours embedded in the four year degree program. Honours generally consists of part coursework and part research requiring submission of a thesis. Honours can be awarded as Class I, Class II Division 1, Class II Division 2, or Class III.

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE FANFARES The Fanfare is performed at all ceremonial functions to herald the entry and departure of the Chancellor and other members of the Council.

THE UNIVERSITY MEDAL The award of a University Medal is an honour made only when there is a candidate of sufficient merit. To be considered for this award, a graduate must have a consistent record of exceptional academic achievement at all levels of their degree program, and qualify with the highest level of that degree.

WITH DISTINCTION A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree is conferred with distinction in cases where a candidate has achieved a Grade Point Average of 6.0 or above in the degree, out of a maximum of 7.0.

COMBINED DEGREE A combined degree is one where a student studies for two separate degrees at the same time. It is possible for the student to complete the degree requirements for one degree ahead of the other. The student receives a testamur for each degree. Places for combined degrees are very competitive and offered to the highest performing students who apply.

MUSICAL INTERLUDE During the graduation ceremony, students, graduates and staff from the University of Newcastle’s Conservatorium of Music entertain and demonstrate their skills and passion for music.

Giving Shapes Lives The University of Newcastle would like to express its gratitude to the many donors and sponsors who support the University.

Philanthropic gifts support research that could save a life, contribute to scientific breakthroughs, and are helping to change and transform the lives of students through the gift of education.

Work supported through philanthropy has included research into the cause and treatment of diabetes funded by a generous bequest from Mr Eric Sansom. Donations have also supported research into saving the endangered green and golden bell frog, discovering new medications for depression and helping to fight one of Australia’s biggest public health issues, obesity, just to name a few.

More than 250 scholarships and 288 prizes – funded through donations – are awarded to students across the University each year.

A Brief History of Graduation The graduation ceremony is one of great antiquity. Its essential features have been the same since the 12th century when the first universities came into existence. Its necessary constituents are the Chancellor or his or her deputy, the academic staff, the graduates, and the public.

The church had a monopoly of education, partly because it was the guardian of true doctrine, and partly because clerics were almost the only people who could read and write. As a result, the only person who could license a teacher was the bishop of a diocese until, under pressure of other business, he deputed the task to his chief secretary or chancellor.

The second group participating in the ceremony is the academic staff. In the 12th century they would all have been called ‘masters’ or MAs. At that date they were paid no salaries, but hired their own lecture rooms and charged their own fees.

But they also formed themselves into a guild or union, which is what universitas originally meant. In the 13th century they won a great victory when they persuaded the Pope to decree that chancellors were obliged to confer degrees on all those nominated by the masters. That is why the masters examine the candidates, why the Dean, acting as their spokesperson, reads out the names of those who are to receive degrees, and why the masters at this ceremony watch to see that the Chancellor or his Deputy does what is required of him.

Thirdly, the graduates. The word ‘degree’ comes from the Latin gradus, which means ‘a step’. When students are admitted to a

Bachelor degree they move one step up towards the mastership. When they are admitted to a Master’s degree they climb another step and come up on a level with the masters, who then receive them into their guild or universitas.

The academic gowns are derived from the everyday dress of the medieval clergy. In the Middle Ages they were not open in front, but closed like a clergyman’s cassock. It was in about 1500 that academics had the front opened up so as to display the fine clothes which they were wearing underneath. The hood was the normal medieval headwear, but it soon acquired a coloured lining.

By the 17th century, if not earlier, these colours were strictly controlled so that anyone could identify from the colour of a graduate’s hood, the university and the degree. The public is the fourth participant. It has an important function because the whole point of the proceedings is that they should be seen and heard by valid witnesses. The public hears the words of the Dean and the Chancellor and sees the new graduates dressed in their respective gowns or robes.

The foregoing is an adaptation of an Address given at a Graduation Ceremony at the University of Birmingham by Emeritus Professor R H C Davis and reprinted in his book ‘From Alfred the Great to Stephen’ (Hambledon Press 1991), pp. 307-309. It is reproduced with kind permission of the author’s widow.

Alumnus, Tanille Elley, is one of the many people who give regularly to both scholarships and prizes.

“I could see the real impact my donations had on students, the difference it really made – financially and through giving encouragement.”

Scholarship recipient Rowan Moses said being awarded a scholarship was “very humbling”.

“My dad always says to me that when you live your life passionately and honourably people will support you. To have people helping me is very special.”

HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT AND OCCASIONAL SPEAKER Professor George E Klinzing Professor George Klinzing holds degrees in Chemical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University culminating in a Ph.D. degree from the latter. Before joining the University of Pittsburgh as a professor on its USAID Ecuador project, Professor Klinzing worked summers in refinery and metals industries. On the Ecuador project at Universidad Central in Quito, Ecuador Professor Klinzing helped develop laboratories, libraries and curriculum in chemical engineering as well as teaching a number of courses.

Through his research and teaching Professor Klinzing helped to produce 54 Master theses and 25 Doctor of Philosophy dissertations in the areas of mass transfer and particle technology.

Professor Klinzing’s research in particle technology spans a wide spectrum of topics mostly in the experimental field addressing challenging problems from pressure behaviours to measurements and electrostatic influences. He has written two books in the area of pneumatic conveying one being in its third edition and published

by Springer.
