HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY

The University of North Carolina at
Wilmington is a community of scholars
dedicated to excellence in teaching, research,
artistic achievement, and service to local and
global communities. It is an evolving
comprehensive university that values close
relationships among students, faculty, and
staff in a diverse, supportive, and
challenging intellectual environment.

The university owes much of its dynamic
character to its heritage and location. The
university began as Wilmington College in
1947 and joined the University of North
Carolina system in 1969. The student-
centered philosophy of the university comes
in part from its origin as a community college
with small classes and extensive interaction
between students and faculty. With growth,
the focus has expanded to include graduate students, bringing increased
opportunities for scholarly activities.

As the only public university in southeastern North Carolina, the
university is committed to providing lifelong learning opportunities, assisting
with the improvement of public school education, and enhancing the
personal, cultural, and economic health of the region.

Located in a historic port city, the university provides related experiences
in cultural, commercial, and archaeological studies. The proximity of the
Atlantic Ocean enables the university to be a leader in marine studies and
provides an exceptional opportunity to teach and practice environmental
awareness and responsibility.

The programs offered by the university include four-year programs leading
to the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees within the College of
Arts and Sciences, the Cameron School of Business Administration, the
School of Education, and the School of Nursing. Graduate programs leading
to the Master of Education, the Master of Science, the Master of Arts, the
Master of Arts in Teaching, and the Master of Business Administration
degrees are also available. A cooperative doctoral program in marine biology
is offered in conjunction with North Carolina State University.

THE UNIVERSITY MACE

The UNCW mace, carried for the first time at the installation ceremony,
incorporates elements and materials important to the history of our
university and region. The boss, or top of the mace, represents the essence
of education, the flame of learning. It was designed to embody humankind's
timeless pursuit of knowledge and quest for truth.

Below the boss are four official seals important to the university's history.
They represent: the County of New Hanover, Wilmington College, the
University of North Carolina, and the University of North Carolina at
Wilmington. Four bands on the shaft symbolize UNCW's four academic
areas: the College of Arts and Sciences, the Cameron School of Business
Administration, the School of Education, and the School of Nursing.

The terminus, or end piece, consists of a long leaf pine cone to symbolize
the state tree that is common to the landscape of southeastern North
Carolina.

The boss and terminus are cast bronze and gold plated. The shaft is made
of live oak, a tree indigenous to the area and characterized as hardy and
enduring. Four gold-plated bands on the shaft resemble dentil molding
common in the Georgian architecture of our campus. The bands are inlaid
with mother of pearl to symbolize the university's ties to the Atlantic and
leadership in marine studies.

The mace was designed by Jeff Morvil, a Wilmington artist, and created by
Marvin Jensen, a Penland, North Carolina sculptor.

Archaeological evidence indicates that maces were used ceremonially in the
Chalcolithic Era, 4000-3100 B.C.E. Findings reveal that Mesopotamian,
Egyptian, and Mayan civilizations used a mace as a weapon and regarded it
as a sign of power. During medieval times the mace was used as a battle
weapon by bishops. Today it is a symbol of authority.

The UNCW mace will be carried by the university marshal at future formal
academic ceremonies.

ACADEMIC REGALIA

Colorful academic costumes are a notable feature of formal college and university
functions throughout the world. Their design and the custom of wearing them at
commencements, convocations, and inaugurations goes back to the Middle Ages when
people of different social classes dressed distinctively. Because universities of that period
were closely tied to the church, it is not surprising that the gowns worn by students and
professors were similar to clerical robes. Though academic regalia may appear to be only
decorative, heavy robes and hoods were quite practical for students and teachers working
and living in unheated buildings. Wearing regalia at contemporary academic events reminds
participants and observers of the long tradition of higher education in western culture.

Academic regalia has been continuously used in European universities, but did not
become popular in American schools until the nineteenth century when increasing numbers
of Americans received doctoral degrees in Europe and returned with colorful hoods and
gowns along with diplomas. Doctoral education became established in America in the latter
part of the nineteenth century and so did the use of regalia by students and faculty at
formal academic occasions. The basic design of the American academic costume was first
established in 1895 when leading colleges adopted a set of standards maintained today by
the American Council on Education and the Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume.
European schools never standardized designs and the unusual robes, hats, and hoods seen
in American processions usually represent degrees awarded by foreign universities.

Caps are most commonly stiff "mortarboards," a style originating at Oxford during the
sixteenth century, though soft, multicornered tams are not uncommon. Tassels on caps tell
the degree earned: black for bachelor's and master's degrees and gold for doctorates.

The code of the Bureau of Academic Costume provides for three types of gowns.
Bachelor's gowns are black with long, pointed sleeves; master's gowns are black and have
long, closed sleeves with an arc near the bottom and a slit for the arm. The doctoral gowns
are usually black with full, round open sleeves. Doctoral gowns also have wide velvet trim
on the front and three velvet chevrons on the sleeves. The velvet trim may be a different
shade of black or in a color matching the trim on the hood, the color symbolizing the
subject area of the degree. Individuals in an academic procession normally wear the
costume appropriate to the highest degree they hold.

Hoods are the most colorful, distinctive, and symbolic feature of academic regalia.
Originally a cowl, a shoulder cape, and a container for collecting alms, the hood is now
worn in the back suspended from the shoulders. The bachelor's hood is three feet long, the
master's three and a half, and the doctor's four feet long with wide side panels. For all
degrees the colors of the conferring institution decorate the hood's lining and the color of
the velvet border indicates the major field of study. The University of North Carolina at
Wilmington hood is lined with green and gold.
