Congratulations on reaching this exciting milestone, and my very best wishes to you for your future. Professor Peter Rathjen Vice-Chancellor
A HISTORY OF GRADUATIONS 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 or her 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 on 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 deputised the task to his chief secretary or chancellor. 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 that 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 lecture rooms 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 spokesperson, 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 a Bachelor degree they move one step up towards the mastership. When they are admitted to a masters degree 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 masters degree was called ‘inception’, or the beginning of one’s career as a master. The public is the fourth participant. It has an important 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 academic 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 in 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.

UNIVERSITY MACE & BLACK ROD UNIVERSITY MACE
THE BLACK ROD
Most Australian universities have adopted a ceremonial mace that symbolises, in its material and decoration, the universities ethos. Before assuming a ceremonial function, the mace was a weapon carried into battle by medieval knights and war-like bishops. Gradually the role of the mace changed to be purely one representative of authority.
In 2014, the University of Tasmania reintroduced the use of a Black Rod as a symbol of authority at ceremonial occasions.
The University of Tasmania was inaugurated in 1890 and the original object used as the symbol of authority was a simple black rod. In 1982 the university commissioned a mace. Peter Taylor, a local sculptor, designed and co-ordinated its creation and a number of Tasmanian artisans contributed to its making. The head is made of ceramic and bronze. Twelve shaped ceramic flanges or ‘vanes’ form the lower part of the head. The vanes are alternately enamelled in the university colours of red and blue. Gilding is applied to the outer edges of each of the 12 vanes and is topped by a bronze crown. Four of the 12 ceramic vanes extend through the crown and are chamfered to form a visual focus for the paws of four bronze thylacines (Tasmanian tigers) which surround the crown. At the base of the head is a large undecorated wooden knop and the tapered wooden shaft has two knops. The lower knop is coloured blue on its upper surface and red underneath. Its outer perimeter is gilded. The foot knop of turned wood is painted blue. Source: Australiana 2012, February, vol.34, no.1, p.29
The use of a Black Rod dates back to the 14th century in Britain. An Usher of the Black Rod was appointed to serve the monarch in the British House of Lords and was originally an officer of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, a British order of knighthood. The Black Rod was used to discipline anyone who offended the Order. The Usher of the Black Rod leads the official party in and out of important ceremonial occasions, calls the ceremony to order and assists with maintaining order throughout. The University’s Black Rod is made from Hydrowood Blackheart Sassafras. Specialty timbers including Huon Pine, Sassafras and Myrtle as well as Eucalyptus and Blackwood have laid dormant on the bed of Lake Pieman on Tasmania’s rugged West Coast since the site was flooded in the 1970s. Now, these sustainably recovered timbers, the lost trees of Hydrowood, are available for use by furniture designers and woodworkers, as well as in high-end residential and commercial construction. The Centre for Sustainable Architecture with Wood, an extension of the University of Tasmania’s School of Architecture and Design, is collaborating with the State Government and Sustainable Forest Management in the Hydrowood project. The Centre’s role is to provide mainstream timber producers with confidence that the recovered logs can be economically and efficiently converted into usable products. The University black rod is designed by award-winning designer and Program Director of Furniture Design, Simon Ancher.

UNIVERSITY ARMS & MEDALS UNIVERSITY ARMS Prior to 1936, the University used a Common Seal that was the seal of the Tasmanian Council of Education. In 1937, the University Council arranged a competition, seeking designs for a coat of arms from University graduates. A design by Mr Egbert Holder Harry BA, BCom, a Launceston resident, was declared the winner from 47 submissions. Mr Harry’s design was a rough sketch, with a shield divided into silver and blue quarters bearing the following charges: –– a red lion being the Tasmanian badge as decreed by Queen Victoria –– a gold book signifying ‘the academic side of University Activity’ –– a gold Southern Cross ‘representative of Australia’ –– a red Olympic torch ‘representing the athletic side of University activity’ The original design also contained a crest, which was later removed. Over time, the university commissioned UK designer for the Royal Mint, Mr George Kruger Gray, to produce a beautifully painted drawing that looks much like the regal logo in use today. He kept the emblems of Mr Harry’s design, arranging them in a visually appealing, heraldically correct manner.
The blazon of a Grant of Arms is the official definition of the Arms. The blazon for the University’s shield, from the Grant of Arms is translated (from heraldic language) as follows: A white/silver shield on which is a red lion walking across facing straight ahead with right forepaw raised with blue claws and tongue, holding in its right forepaw a flaming torch in natural colours; and on the shield is also a broad red bar making up the top one-third on which is a broad central blue vertical bar with a yellow/gold border down each side, carrying the [five] brightest stars of the Southern Cross in white/silver; between two yellow/gold books closed with clasps. The University of Tasmania’s logo, used on its stationary and web sites today, is based on a standardised and stylised version of the red Lion passant from the Coat of Arms. UNIVERSITY MEDALS The University Medal is the highest academic award made to an undergraduate student. The medals are awarded to students who have a consistent record of exceptional academic achievement at all levels of a bachelor’s degree program, and qualify for a bachelor’s degree with first class honours. Up to thirteen medals can be awarded annually.
In the 1970’s the University applied to the College of Heralds for a Grant of Arms. This application was successful, and for the first time the University had Arms.
