Chains of Office Symbols of Leadership Be recognized as your institution s highest authority at academic ceremonies and other prestigious events by having Medallic Art Company handcraft a chain of office (also known as a presidential medallion) uniquely for you.

Call us today to learn how we can help you customize this lasting symbol of esteem for you and your institution. B Ozarks Technical Community College added a simple chain and leaf banner to their seal medal to create this silver-plated chain of office. C Stillman College repeated its symbol as ornamental chain components, laser-engraved its initials on round chain components, and engraved the names of past presidents on curved banners to convey Stillman s rich traditions. A Henry Ford College used our Rays Banner engravable component in the chain to accentuate the color of their seal medal. D E Cal State Poly Pomona included a leaf surround on the medal to add a sense of sweeping drama to the entire piece. Bishop State Community College repeated the seal image on smaller rounds on this 24-karat gold-plated chain. 4 Call 1-800-843-9854 or email us at academic@medallic.com

Chains of Office J Adirondack Community College added a ribbon and our tulip surround to create a unique look. K John F. Kennedy University repeated the symbol in its seal medal on smaller custom-shaped components. Comfortably Wear Your Chain of Office The most comfortable way to wear a chain of office is by balancing the length of the chain on the shoulders to offset the weight of the chain s front. You can do this by sewing Velcro, buttons or hooks onto the shoulders of your garment to secure the chain in position. Ask about our optional stabilizing chain link, which attaches to the upper part of the inside of the chain, and when worn behind the neck, helps to position the chain properly. L M N Northshore Technical Community College highlights its uniquely shaped seal by incorporating the oval shape into a custom medal. Mitchell College added a ribbon, leaf banner, and engraved the reverse of the seal medal to honor its president. Wilberforce University hung a banner below the medal signifying the president. 6 Call 1-800-843-9854 or email us at academic@medallic.com

The die-striking process (shown in the middle examples below) is best used for adding intricate details or if a three-dimensional look is desired. The engraving process (shown in the right-most examples below) is good for adding words or simple, stylized art. Shown at 55% actual size. Choose Your Components Your chain may contain traditional elements such as the ornamental components below or you may also wish to add customized elements using our shapes (at left) including words or images that are significant to your institution, such as a university symbol, a mascot, the institution s motto, names of previous presidents, or any other item unique to you.

Choose Your Metal The metal you choose makes a significant statement. You may choose copper or silver because it s the state mineral or gold because your institution is celebrating a centennial.

Ceremonial Maces A Carry Forward the Traditions of Your Institution The ceremonial mace is the symbolic extension of a leader s authority. Medallic Art Company combines the finest materials and quality workmanship to create an original work of art that establishes an enduring legacy of leadership for your institution. B West Virginia Northern Community College s complex, but beautiful 42 walnut mace includes a larger medallion that commands the eye; antique bronze accents vertically and horizontally, and a unique spiral pattern at the base of the mace itself. C Lehigh Carbon Community College opted for spare elegance when designing its mace, serving as the ideal platform to draw attention to the medallion at the top. The mace served as a source of pride for the ceremony, faculty, graduates, and their families as Dr. John Hefner, grand marshal of LCCC s graduation ceremony, led the way. The Africa Multination for Christ College 42 dark walnut mace includes engravable antique bronze accents on the shaft (which can be returned for future messages as needed), a small antique bronze flame at the top, and engraving on the platform. Note different medallions on the lamplight top. 10 Call 1-800-843-9854 or email us at academic@medallic.com
D F G E Hamline University s 39 tall dark walnut mace adds a multidimensional twist by combining traditional design and elements with the university s character and values. Natural walnut was chosen by Worcester State University for its 42 mace. Note the wood foot, the antique bronze accents and unique lathing. The head of this 36 tall cherrywood mace designed by Bishop Ireton High School features a gold-plated surround that elevates the medals (reverse shown here) and elaborately engraved wood disk. Bahamas Technical and Vocational Institute used a similar design as at left, but chose mahogany, silverplated accents and a large silver flame to match silver medallions for its 48 mace. The foot is the only one that can be used with the Base Mace Stand (page 17). Order now to ensure delivery for your event www.medallic.com 11
Ceremonial Maces L H I J K A commanding 72, the Oregon Health and Science University s mace is mahogany. While making many timehonored choices, the school customized the neck piece by cinching it, adding drama to the lamplight top with antique bronze flame and medallions. The University of Utah added striking copper accents to their 48 tall dark walnut mace for a piece that is not only stunning but honors Utah s state mineral. Union Institute and University chose a classic design for this 42 tall mahogany mace but included an elegant platform engraved with the school s values. The 45 dark walnut mace created for Johnson C. Smith University stands out for its antique silver platform, around which the primary medal design is repeated in antique bronze. The antique bronze banners are engravable. A medallion encircled by a leaf surround tops the 42 dark walnut mace created by the University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler. 12 Call 1-800-843-9854 or email us at academic@medallic.com
Macettes and Batons When Smaller is Better Macettes and batons are perfect when a more personal size is needed. The smaller size makes them lighter and easier to carry for longer periods of time. If some of your institution s ceremonies make it difficult to use your larger mace, a smaller duplicate will help you maintain the pomp and circumstance of important events. Macettes and batons will also be cherished as gifts to donors and departing leadership. This 20.5 cherrywood baton tapers for a sleek look. The top can be engraved or have a medal attached. This 20 cherrywood macette is a miniature of a larger mace for Eastern Virginia Medical School. Faculty and leaders of The University of Southern California use this 17 dark walnut macette during convocation ceremonies. Baton presentation stand A variety of matching stands are available for your macette. The baton created by the Center for Public Administration and Policy of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University adapted the baton lower right, utilizing a stock medallion engraved with the name of the institution. Macette base stand Macette display stand This 22 oak baton makes a simple-yetbold statement with its elegant metal topper and finial. Order now to ensure delivery for your event www.medallic.com 13
How to Build Your Mace Create a Flawless Representation of Your Institution Every aspect of your ceremonial mace or macette can be customized to fit your needs, style, and budget. You can choose from one of our popular styles, customizing with your school s seal, logos, and mottos, or you can use an existing style as a starting point to create something a little different by changing the head, staff or foot. You can also create a completely new mace or macette to better represent your institution. You choose the materials, the size, any additional custom elements, and the stand that best displays your mace when it s not in use. Create Your Medallions Traditionally designed after a school s seal, the medallions could also showcase important themes, buildings, leaders, or other elements of significance to your institution. Choose a Head Style The head of the mace can showcase a single medallion or several medallions honoring a long history. Additions like a wreath or flame provide a traditional academic look if desired. An engravable metal platform can be added to some styles to include mottos or values to the mace. Custom mace heads are also a powerful way to express your school s history and values. Choose a Staff Style The staff of your mace or macette can be very modest or as ornate as you can imagine. Engravable metal sections or banners (shown here) can be added to honor your institution s beliefs, leaders, donors, academic programs, or separate campuses. Popular Wood Choices Dark Walnut Natural Walnut Cherrywood Mahogany Pine Oak * Other woods are available upon request. Choose Your Materials Your choice of materials makes a powerful statement about how you honor your institution s heritage and values. For example, the University of Utah chose to include distinct copper accents on the mace staff, venerating Utah s state mineral. Louisiana State University supplied Medallic Art with wood from their campus, paying homage to the beautiful oaks that cover the grounds. The beauty of your mace is limited only by your imagination and sense of propriety, never by the materials available for its creation. Choose a Mace Stand A mace stand displays and protects your mace while it is not in use. The mace stand is made to order to fit your custom mace. See page 17 to see the options available. Choose a Foot Style The final touch on your custom mace or macette should reflect the overall style. The foot can be made of metal or wood to carry out the look and function you need. Get Started Early An exceptionally high level of customization and attention to detail is required to craft your mace or macette. It is best to begin working on the design at least two months in advance. If time is an issue, please ask about our impressive stock selections. 14 Call 1-800-843-9854 or email us at academic@medallic.com
Custom Mace Heads M The highlight of the Beacon College mace is a recreation of the flame in the institution s seal. The complete seal was created in great detail as the main medal of the college s chain of office and in smaller medals on the chain and mace (shown below). A custom-designed head piece reinforces the history and symbolism that sets your institution apart. Dr. Terri Ross, Beacon College s longest serving faculty member, holds the newly crafted 36 tall custom-designed walnut and brass mace (shown larger at left) before presenting it to Dr. George J. Hagerty during his inauguration ceremony. The mace leading your ceremony and procession can be as unique as your institution. There is no wrong way to make a mace as long as you take your heritage into account. Some universities have opted for maces with exceptional designs reflecting their innovative approach to education. The Medical College of Georgia asked for its beloved building in three dimensions atop its mace, creating an avatar that reflected the physical. Saint Leo University added a crystal globe atop its mace a bold symbol, and Saint Leo used the same crystal globe atop its macette for thematic consistency. The cedar staff was customordered as well. (Some have supplied their own wood.) Its cross is the center of the academic and spiritual existence of Wartburg College, and so it was the appropriate symbol to top the processional mace. When it s important to stand apart, Medallic Art Company can help you stand at the front with a mace that cannot be duplicated. Order now to ensure delivery for your event www.medallic.com 15
Stock Maces Pressed for Time? The traditional look of our stock maces and macettes complement any medal or seal design and can be made available more quickly if you have an approaching event. If we have already made a die for you, we can mint a new medal for the head of the mace. Or you can choose to engrave one of our stock medals (see the selection on pages 28-31) with your seal, other imagery or wording. With just enough time, Medallic Art was able to create a new Central Catholic High School seal medal to place on a stock mace. The 42 style stock mace allows for two medals to be mounted onto the wood disk on top. The 24 style stock mace has a medal mounted on top and brass foot that can be silver- or gold-plated. The 14 style stock macette allows for a smaller medal mounted on top and brass foot that can be silver- or gold-plated. Reverse The U.S. Sports Academy had two of our stock medals placed on a stock mace in order to meet a fast-approaching deadline for a ceremony. Stock maces and macettes are available in cherrywood or dark walnut. Changes or additions may be available if time permits. Cherrywood Dark Walnut If time permits, a stand can be made for your stock macette. 16 Call 1-800-843-9854 or email us at academic@medallic.com
Display and Protect Mace Stands Mace stands are a simple, yet elegant way to safely store your mace or macette. Stands can be masterpieces in their own right, custom-made to match the style and size of your mace or macette. Horizontal Mace Stand The horizontal stand is often used when the mace will be displayed on a shelf. Vertical Mace Stand The vertical stand is used when the mace is displayed at floor level. This stand is useful on a stage when ceremonies are being performed after a procession. George Mason University added a brass back to its vertical stand. Base Mace Stand A base stand is another floorlevel display option that gives your mace a free-standing look. Your seal medal can be mounted to the front if desired. Mace Travel Case Our durable mace travel case protects your investment when you need to travel. It is airline-approved and lockable, with handles and built-in wheels for easy transport.

Honoring Heritage Design Versatility and Consistency Once you have created one necessary item, such as a mace or chain, your medal design makes it possible to build other items essential to displaying your institution s heritage. A seal design can be used for everything from chain components, to cuff links, to lapel pins, to awards and especially graduation medals. All of your Medallic Art Company articles can share the same art design, which reinforces the values of your institution. Bellevue College saved time and money by using the same medal for both its mace and chain of office. Henry Ford College honors its heritage by incorporating its former names on both the chain and mace. 18 Call 1-800-843-9854 or email us at academic@medallic.com
Acknowledge Departing Leaders Recognize the Dedication of Departing Leaders How do you reward a leader s faithful and tireless service to your institution? Give them an enduring symbol of the institution they love and of their term in office. These gifts are perfect for honoring the sacrifice and dedication of outgoing Presidents, Chancellors, Trustees, Regents, or Provosts. You can recognize them with a unique custom piece or you can use an existing piece to create a memorable gift. After his 18 years of dedication, Saint Leo University created a 12 walnut macette and base stand to honor Dr. Arthur F. Kirk, Jr., its outgoing president. The macette is a replica of the 60 mace Medallic Art had created for the university. University of Utah used an existing medal design to create this gift for its retiring chairman. The University of Georgia gifted this chain of office to its retiring president, adding his ending tenure date onto a banner component on the chain. The university had a new chain made for its incoming president. Thanks so much for the beautiful work you have created for our outgoing president! It looks marvelous and everyone has exclaimed how elegant and appropriate it is to honor her years in office.

Celebrating a Milestone A milestone anniversary is a cause for a celebration that brings together your institution s disparate constituents. School spirit soars, and donations frequently follow. One of the many excellent colleges in the District of Columbia, Gallaudet, honored its sesquicentennial with a medallion designed by artist Ann Silver, Class of 72. A custom certificate accompanied each medal to tell the story of Gallaudet University s history as well as the making of the medal. Cuff Links Enhance a special occasion with simple, yet elegant cuff links bearing your institution s seal or logo.

Sharing the Complete Story The Kenai Peninsula College Community Commemorative Coin project commemorated the Kenai Peninsula Borough s 50th year of service to the area s citizens and visitors alike.

Galvanos Custom Certificates of Authenticity allow you to share a personal message that goes beyond the message on the medallion. Galvanos are artistic items finished in an attractive metal for maximum effect compelling the eye and adding import to any item.
