J'Pennon Bearer
THE MACE
The Corning Community College Mace represents the authority of the faculty and the search for excellence. It is carried by the Macebearer at the head of academic processions. The lower knob of the mace symbolizes a seed, the beginning of the College; the long shaft represents a living stem and growth; the radiating fins are leaves, the flowering of ideas; the crystal is die goal of education and of the College — achievement. The Mace was presented to the College from the faculty on May 23, 1964; it was designed by Robert Goodden of the Royal College of Art in London.
THE MEDALLION
The Medallion, worn by the president at official College functions, represents the authority of his office. The four parts of its center design symbolize the community, the trustees, the faculty, and the students. The raised center represents the presidency, which draws together and fuses the endeavors of the four parts. The Medallion was designed by John M. Runyon, Professor in Art, Corning Community College and presented to Robert W. Frederick, Jr., Second President, on the occasion of his inauguration on May 18, 1967.
ACADEMIC ATTIRE
The caps, gowns, and hoods worn at college and university functions date back to the Middle Ages. Monks and students of those days wore them to keep warm in the damp and drafty 12th-century castles and halls of learning.
When colleges came under secular control in the 1300*5, particularly in England, a touch of color was added to the academic garb. Thus the gown for graduates of many English universities is of a scarlet color. With the founding of colleges in the American colonies, the tradition of the academic gown became established on this continent as well.
Academic hoods originally formed the cowl worn as a head covering by the monks. They could also be worn as a shoulder cope, or could be used as a bag for the collection of alms, or for carrying books. The outside of the hood is bordered with a velvet facing, the color of which indicates the subject studied for the degree granted. The color of the inner lining of the hood indicates the institution which has granted the degree. The length of the hood indicates the degree earned, the doctoral hood being the longest.
Today’s candidates for associate degrees and certificates are wearing gowns similar in style to those worn by candidates for the bachelor degree. Their caps are worn with the tassels hanging on the right side until the degree is actually conferred whereupon the tassel is moved to the left side.
PENNONS
A pennon became the symbol of achievement during the Middle Ages and, as such, the degree pennons used in today’s ceremony symbolize the achievement of this College’s graduates.
A long, narrow flag or streamer, triangular and pointed, the pennon was formerly attached to the head of a lance and was borne as a distinction by the knight. Upon the performance of any gallant action by the knight or his followers, the triangular point of the pennon was cut off, thereby converting it into a banner of distinction and achievement.
So it is that this ancient symbol marks the accomplishment of those who are being honored at this graduation ceremony. The four pennons represent the Certificate Programs and the three associate degrees offered at Corning Community College. Those who carry the pennons have each attained the highest average in these categories.
