The Professions
Graduation Ceremony
24 October 2014
Dr Geoffrey Fox
Deputy Chancellor and Acting Chancellor
Whether you have spent the last several years living and studying on
campus or completing your degree part-time by distance education, I’m
sure you will agree that your UNE experience has been a special one.
It is this experience that has UNE consistently receiving the maximum
five-star rating for overall graduate satisfaction in the Good Universities
Guides. It is also this experience that forges lifelong friendships and
connections with UNE that last decades and over several generations.
You take away with you today a wonderful record of your academic achievement. I hope that
as an alumnus, you will always be proud of, and an advocate for, your university, and I wish
you every success in your future endeavours.
Dr Geoffrey Fox
Professor Annabelle Duncan
Vice-Chancellor and CEO
Congratulations. Today you will graduate from the University of New
England as an alumnus of Australia’s oldest regional university, a
university with a distinguished tradition of excellence in teaching,
learning and research. You are leaving with a highly respected degree
and an experience that will stay with you for life.
Your years at UNE have provided you with life-long skills. You will
graduate with a professional qualification, the skill-set to achieve in the
career of your choice, the ability to analyse and question the world around you, the capacity
for truly independent thought and, I hope, a life-long love and commitment to learning. You
have been given the opportunity to experience the rich cultural and social diversity that
an academic environment provides. My wish for each and every UNE graduate is that you
leave today with the skills to become an inspirational citizen of the world. I wish you every
success in this most worthy of endeavours.
Professor Annabelle Duncan

The Graduation Ceremony: A Brief History
The following 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, and reproduced with kind permission of the
author.
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 deputy, the academic staff, the graduands, and the public.
When the Chancellor confers degrees, saying to the graduands: ‘By virtue of my authority as
Chancellor, I admit you to the degree of ...’ those words are a translation of the Latin form used
in the Middle Ages. Then, the Chancellor’s authority to confer degrees came from the church.
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. Academics might complain
that the Chancellor was not as learned as they, but nonetheless the church would punish anyone
who dared to teach without his licence. As learning spread, teachers wanted a licence to teach not
just in one diocese, but everywhere, and the only person who could give them that was the pope.
The Chancellor’s authority, then, came from the pope. But at the Reformation Henry VIII assumed
for the Crown all the rights which had previously been the pope’s in England. That is why all
subsequent universities in England have been created by royal charter. It is for this reason also
that the Chancellor does not wear ecclesiastical robes, as would have been worn in the Middle
Ages, but robes similar to those of the Lord Chancellor of England.
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 lecturerooms and charged their own fees. But they also formed themselves into a guild
or union, which is what universitas originally meant. As in all guilds they were insistent that they,
and only they, should determine who should be of their number, and since this involved saying
who should be teachers, they soon found themselves in conflict with the Chancellor. 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 spokesman, 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 graduands. The word ‘degree’ comes from the Latin gradus, which means ‘a step’.
When students are admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, they move one step up towards
the mastership. When they are admitted to the degree of MA they climb another step and come
up on a level with the masters, who then receive them into their guild or universitas. In the
Middle Ages they would then have stayed on the dais, so that their old master could invest
them with the symbols of office. But that was only part of the business. The new master had to
deliver an inaugural lecture, entertain the whole guild of masters to dinner, and preside over
disputations for forty days continuously. For that reason, taking one’s MA was called ‘inception’,
or the beginning of one’s career as a master.
The public is the fourth participant in this ceremony. The public also has a 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 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 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 Stole
The stole was introduced in 1991 as part of the academic dress for diplomates. Like the other
elements of academic dress - the cap, the gown and the hood - the stole has evolved from the
dress of the medieval clergy; indeed the stole was once part of the hood itself. In medieval times
the hood was a garment of every day dress. Over the centuries it developed an appendage or
tail known as a liripipe, which was used both for pulling the hood off the head and for wrapping
round the throat with the hood worn on the head, both to keep the hood in place, and for warmth.
It was during the 15th century that changing fashions dictated that the liripipe should be
shortened or removed entirely from the hood to form a separate scarf or stole. The liripipe
remains in stylised form today in the tail of academic hoods of this and many other universities.
The stole has evolved along two paths: it remains as a separate academic article for certain
awards at this University and other universities including Oxford, Cambridge and London, and
although no longer in general use, vestiges of the stole remain in the form of the “lapel” on the
front and the yoke at the back of all academic gowns of the Oxbridge design.
The stoles worn by Fellows and diplomates of The University of New England are in the University’s
official distinguishing colour of gold and those for Fellows are edged with green silk. Diploma
stoles have coloured satin ribbons to identify the disciplinary area, arranged so as to identify the
level of the award. Associate diplomas have a ribbon or bar running horizontally at chest level;
other undergraduate diplomas have a single vertical ribbon; graduate diplomas have two vertical
ribbons.
The Mace
The mace is carried by the Esquire Bedell before the Chancellor as a symbol of the fact that the
Chancellor represents the tradition of the University and that in him is vested the authority and
good name of the University.
The mace, together with its teak wood box, was presented to the University by Dr P A Wright,
to mark the establishment of the University and the installation of the first Chancellor, the Right
Honourable Sir Earle Page on August 4, 1955.
The mace was designed and made by Gerald Benney of London under the general direction of
the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. The engraving on the mace was drawn by Gerald Benney
and executed by T C F Wise, who was regarded as the finest engraver in Europe at the time. Prior
to its dispatch to Australia, the mace was displayed at an exhibition of modern craftsmanship
in gold and silver where it was regarded by competent British authorities as “the most beautiful
Mace made in England in modern times”. While it combines in exact form all the characteristics
of a mediaeval fighting mace, its design is modern and singularly appropriate to The University
of New England.
Some data about the mace material: sterling silver
length: 1.2m
weight: 2.92kg

The Coat of Arms: Explanatory Notes
The shield bears three Tudor roses on a “chief gold” and in the first quarter of the shield appears
the constellation of the Southern Cross. These emblems attempt to express the idea of the
University carrying on the British University tradition under southern skies. This idea is also
implied in the coronet encircling the helmet which stands on the shield. The finials of the coronet
are alternately a sprig of wattle for Australia and an acorn for England. The crest of the helmet
is a cresset of flame which the College of Heralds recommended as a more unusual and no less
significant way of symbolising “learning”. The lions of England support the shield and a hunting
horn is suspended by a green cord around the neck of each lion. The hunting horn is the heraldic
badge of the Forster family, to which one of the founders of the University, the late T.R. Forster of
Abington, Armidale, belonged. The College of Heralds attempted to acknowledge the title of the
University, thereby implying that we have risen out of British tradition and British stock, but are
developing in our own way in Australia.
The motto is taken from “the Agricola” by the Roman historian Tacitus who, describing the early
life of Agricola, speaks of his interest in philosophy, to which in his youthful enthusiasm he
eagerly devoted himself. But, Tacitus implies, he avoided the extremes into which philosophical
studies often led men at this time, when Stoicism tended to become identified with opposition
to the Imperial system of government: retinuitque, quod est difficillimum, ex sapientia modum
— “and he retained from his wisdom moderation — a most difficult achievement.” Modus is here
used in the sense of moderation, balance, a temperament preventing one from being carried
into extremes. This was a quality that Agricola displayed in practice throughout his life. In our
motto the word is intended to express the same meaning, the quality of moderation reflecting a
balanced judgment based on wisdom.
Distinguishing Colours
For the purpose of academic dress for bachelor degrees and diplomas, the University has
identified fifteen disciplinary areas each one of which has been awarded a distinguishing colour
or colours. The areas and colours are:
humanities-white
ethnic/area studies
-
black and post office box red
social studies
-
old rose
education-violet
sciences-straw
mathematics and computing -
powder blue
visual and performing arts

-
peony red
spectrum orange
economics-peacock blue
law-ultramarine
built environment-mace
agriculture-dioptase

-
reseda
Colours are displayed in the linings of hoods, on the edges of stoles and on the facings and in the
sleeve linings of gowns for doctorates. Hoods and gowns are black for degrees of bachelor and
master whilst for doctorates they are scarlet.
