The mace being used in today's commencement is the property of the University of Minnesota. The word "mace" is from the Middle English and was originally used to refer to the implement used for breaking armor during the Middle Ages. Today its use is much more peaceful, for it now is a staff borne by, carried before, or placed near a dignitary as an ensign of his dignity and authority. First designed in 1961 for . the inaugural of O. Meredith Wilson, the mace is made of aluminum and topped by a crystal ball, which symbolizes the illuminating qualities of education and the clarity of thinking which education should bring. The crystal ball is topped by a star, representative of Minnesota, the North Star State. The staff weighs forty pounds.

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 thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled bmmner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA HYMN
HAIL MINNESOTA
Minnesota, hail to thee! Hail to thee, our college dear! Thy light shall ever be a beacon bright and clear;
Thy sons and daughters true will proclaim thee near and far; They will guard thy fame and adore thy name; Thou shalt be
their Northern Star.
Like the stream that bends to sea, like the pine that seeks the blue, Minnesota, still for thee thy sons are strong and true;
From the woods and waters fair, from thy prairies waving far, At thy call they throng with their shout and song, hailing thee
their Northern Star.

The audience is requested not to take pictures during Commencement.
Graduates, parents and friends are invited to the Director's Reception at the Campus Dining Hall.
On appropriate occasions, anyone with a college or university degree may
wear academic costume consisting of a gown, a hood, and a cap. By observing
the kind of academic costume a person wears, it is possible to know the name of
the University from which he will graduate, as well as the degree which he
holds, and, in some cases, the field of his major interest as well.
The long pointed sleeve of the gown indicates a Bachelor's degree; the long
closed sleeve with a slit near the upper part of the arm indicates a Master's
degree, and the open sleeve marks a Doctor's degree. Bachelors' and Masters'
gowns are black in color and are without any trimming. Candidates for lesser
degrees than the Bachelor's wear gowns of a color other than black. Generally,
the Doctor's gown is black also, but some universities, particularly those abroad,
prescribe such festive colors as red, crimson, or green. All Doctors' gowns
have a velvet trimming on the front facings and crossbars on the sleeves. This
trimming may be black, or it may match the color of the edging of the hood and
thus identify the profession or field of major interest of the wearer.
The only hoods worn at commencements are for degrees which have already
been received. Anyone who has a degree from the University of Minnesota may
wear a hood decorated with a maroon chevron on gold background. The length
and shape of the hood indicates whether the wearer has earned a Bachelor's, a
Master's, or a Doctor's degree. The velvet edging on the hood indicates the
field in which the degree was granted: for example, white, Arts and Letters.
Shoulder insignia on the gowns of candidates for degrees indicate that the
candidates are honor students.
