mace
CLARION UNIVERSITY
In medieval times, the mace was
a weapon 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.

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.

mace
CLARION UNIVERSITY
In medieval times, the mace was
a weapon 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.

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.
