held ready to protect the dignitary in a procession. Early in the history of the academy, the mace was borrowed from royalty and utilized to symbolize the power of the rector of the university, a power shared with the faculty. Over time, symbols of learning were incorporated into the mace, transferring the power from a person to the process of education. The position of mace bearer is one of honor given to a senior member of the faculty. Fashioned after Byzantine architecture, a style represented in some of the earliest institutions of learning, the head structure of the mace consists of three cupped units, each one slightly raised above the other. Each unit is made from a highly polished, yellow brass alloy and is molded from various thin, randomly positioned brass leaves. The individual brass leaves, which replicate leaves gathered on campus, symbolize the intellectual and cultural diversity of the university community as well as the physical beauty of its campuses. The university’s seal is embedded in the upper cupped unit. Clarion University’s mace is truly a community effort. It was designed and created by Kaersten Colvin-Woodruff, assistant professor of art. The shaft of the mace was crafted by university maintenance staff member Terry Byerly, while the production of ceramic molds for its head and its casting were done by Franklin Bronze and Alloy Company of Franklin, Pa. The shaft of the mace is made of black cherry hardwood, which is native to western Pennsylvania. It, too, is finished with a brass ornament, creating a chromatically balanced piece. The overall dimensions of the mace are set at a traditional three feet. Private donations supported the development of the university’s mace. It will be permanently displayed in the Carlson Library. 3 Syed R.Ali-Zaidi Award Finalist FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE JENNA TECH, FINALIST Dr. Ali-Zaidi, a charter member of the Board of Governors and a strong advocate for our universities, established the Syed R. Ali-Zaidi Award for Academic Excellence to inspire and honor Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education students who excel in the pursuit of knowledge. Students were nominated based on outstanding academic performance in the academic major and in other areas of study, recognition of scholarship by members of Clarion University’s faculty, participation in extra/co-curricular activities during undergraduate years and the quality of the nominee’s essay addressing how the university prepared him/her for the next career step and what that next step will be.
