LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY COMMENCEMENT
UNIVERSITY MACE
The University mace is 37 inches long and weighs about eight pounds. It is made of sterling silver throughout and is partly gold-plated. The head consists of four vaulted arches, each displaying a gold-plated campus emblem. The arches are joined by a drum that carries the inscription “LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY 1926.” The drum is surmounted by a goldplated lighthouse with four “lenses” to indicate that the University is located on an island. As a lighthouse beacon guides the seafarer through the sea in darkness, so the University provides the guiding light of knowledge out of the darkness of ignorance. On top of the lighthouse is the logo of the University: the map of Long Island in the colors of the rainbow rendered in champlevé enamels. Below the head of the mace, a short textured neck leads to the hammered shaft. At the lower end is a pear-shaped node into which is recessed the gold-plated engraved seal of the University.
