ODE TO EWFOUNDLAND

When sun rays crown thy pine-clad hills,And Summer spreads her hand,When silvern voices tllne thy rills,We love thee smiling land.We love thee, we love thee,We love thee, smiling land.

When spreads thy cloak of shimm'ring white,At Winter's stern command,Through shortened day and starlit night,We love thee, frozen land.We love thee, we love thee,We love thee, frozen land.

When blinding storm gusts fret thy shore,And wild waves lash thy strand,Through sprindriftswirland tempest roar,We love thee, wind-swept land.We love thee, we love thee,We love thee, wind-swept land.

As loved our fathers, so we love,Where once they stood we stand.Their prayers we raise to Heaven above:God guard thee, Newfoundland!God guard thee, God guard thee,God guard thee, Newfoundland.

mSTORY OF CONVOCATIO

In June of 1950 Memorial University held its first convocation, which was a fairly simple affair. Led by EngineeringProf. Jack Facey (wbowould later perform the role of convocation marshaI for 46 years), the students and facultymoved from the Parade Street campus across to St. Patrick's Hall School for the conferring of undergraduate degrees.The university presented its ftrstgraduatedegrees in May 1956 and its ftrst honorary degree in May 1960.

The ceremony for that first honorary degree, presented to Monnie Mansfield, who had been Memorial's registrar for30 years, served as a dress rehearsal for the most elaborate convocationthe university haseverheld-that for the

, opening of the Elizabeth Avenue campus in October 1961. Overseeing the arrangements were Prof. Facey as themarshal of convocation, responsible for the organization, direction and decorum of the occasion, and Dr. G.M. Storyas the public orator, responsible for the delivery of the orations aboutthehonorarygraduands,aspecialfeatureofMemorial's convocations. Nineteen honorary degrees were conferredon a galaxy of dignitaries local, national andinternational. That day the public orator and his deputy each had to deliver as many as 10 orations, each a concise butrhetorically lively account of the rationale for conferring the degree.

From 1961 to 1968 convocation was held in the gymnasium of the Physical Education Building. With the opening ofthe St. John's Arts and Culture Centre, Memorial in effect acquired a new convocation hall. which became the regularsite of the ceremonies after 1970. Designed partially on the ideasofthen-Premier Joseph Smallwood. the back of thestage with its descending staircase was developed specifically for Memorial's convocation. Fall convocation wasinaugurated in 1970 to accommodate increasing numbers of graduates and to support the three-semester academiccalendar. In May 1992,23 graduates received degrees in the first regular session of convocation held at Sir WilfredGrenfell College, Memorial's Comer Brook campus.

The ceremonial trappings of convocation began to be developed in the early 1960s. Our academic robes are based onthose of Oxford University. The silver mace -- the symbol of the university's authority and the presence of whichsignals the officiaJ opening of convocation -- and the marshals' staves were donated by Chancellor Lord Thomson in1961. The chancellor's chair and a lectern were presented in 1963 by then-Lieutenant Governor CampbellMacpherson. Other complementary birch wood furniture pieces were subsequently commissioned from the St. John'sfmn of Clarrnanis and Son Ltd.; the chairs bear the university's coat of arms, hand carved and painted bas-relief. Thesigningtable,giftoftheforrnermarshal Dr. Jack Facey, was added in 1996.

In2002plansweremadetocreateasecondconvocationfurnituresuitesothatacomplete set would perrnanentlyreside at each of the St. John's and Comer Brook campuses. The design of the new suite, intended to reflect theculture and traditions of the province, was undertaken by retired Memorial University designer Ian Stewart; PatersonWoodworking of Upper Amherst Cove was commissioned to construct the set. The first piece in this suite, a blackwalnut convocation table with a fish-splitting table motif, was presented by Lieutenant Governor Edward Roberts in2003. Other pieces in the suite have since been completed. The kneeler was donated in 2005 by honorary graduateAlan Perry. Hon. Dr. Roberts and his brother Douglas sponsored the signing table and bench, completed in 2005, aswell as the ChanceUor's chair and four companion chairs, which were completed in spring 2006. The two fmal pieces,speaker's lecterns, are yet to be completed. The Roberts' contributions to the suite of furniture were undertaken inmemory of their father, Dr. Harry D. Roberts. a graduate of Memorial University College ('31), an honorary graduateof Memorial University and for many years a member of the Board of Regents.

The desire to share the ceremonies beyond the audience seated in the convocation hall led to television coverage ofthe ceremonies beginning in the 1970s and. more recently, web-casting (by the university's Distance Education andLearning Technologies unit) which virtually brings the ceremony to the whole world via the university web site atwww.mun.ca. Other university units that playa role in convocation include the Office of the Registrar and the Schoolof Graduate Studies, which ensure that students have completed the irprograms and are certified for their degrees; theDivision of Marketing and Communications, which co-ordinates the logistics of this special event and assists thegraduands with preparations for the ceremony and the celebrations surrounding it; and the Office of Alumni Affairsand Development, which welcomes graduates into the Memorial University alumni association.

Convocation has been a day of pride for thousands of students and morethan 500 honorary graduates, resulting inmore than 60,000 alwnni members worldwide. While our convocation, as a ceremonial occasion, has grown from thepractices and procedures of older universities, after more than half a century it has become a distinctive eventfor all who attend, be they distinguished guests or faculty, honorary graduates or our students who are, as they shouldbe, the focus of the event.
