LONGWOOD UNIVERSITY MACE
SYMBOLIC OF AUTHORITY, a mace is an object carried by officials on ceremonial occasions. The honor ofcarrying Longwood’s mace is bestowed upon a senior faculty member chosen as chief faculty marshal by the universitypresident. The chief faculty marshal leads the procession of faculty during convocation, commencement and otherspecial occasions.
The university’s mace acknowledges Longwood’s 2002 designation as a university. The architectural elements employedin the design represent Longwood physically and metaphorically. Specifically, the design recalls the historic heart ofLongwood’s campus, Ruffner Hall and the Rotunda.
The mace’s fluted shaft recalls Ruffner’s columns and symbolizes the pillars of knowledge. The cube adorned with theLongwood University Seal, the Seal of the Commonwealth of Virginia and Joan of Arc’s coat of arms represents theuniversity’s mission to inspire leadership in service of the common good. Encased within the cube are objects from the university’s past, including a minié ball that struck Ruffner Hall during the Civil War as well as a piece of woodthat remained when Ruffner burned to the ground in 2001. The top of the mace depicts Ruffner Hall’s Rotunda(rebuilt and rededicated in 2005), which is emblematic of Longwood’s spirit of perseverance. By tradition, a mace is surmounted with an orb, symbolizing the cosmos. Here, the Rotunda dome serves this purpose and also symbolizesLongwood’s role as a sanctuary for learning.
