The Arms of the University of Newcastle

The Arms of the University, granted in 1965, are based on the family crest of

Lieutenant John Shortland, RN who charted the entrance to the Hunter River

where Newcastle now stands. The suburb in which the University is established

and its surrounds were first settled by Aboriginal people ofthe Awabakal Tribe.

Initially, the name "Shortland" was given to the suburb. In 1992, both the campus

and the surrounding suburb were formally given the name "Callaghan", in

honour of the late Sir Bede Callaghan, the Chancellor of the University from

1977 until 1989.

For those interested in heraldry, the University Arms are described officially

as: Azure a Sea Horse naiant in dexter chief a representation of the constellation

of the Southern Cross of five Mullets all Argent.

The Mace The Mace is the symbol of formal authority. The Mace used today

belongs to the University of Newcastle and was designed by gold

and silversmith, Gerald Benney. It is made of Australian walnut

and silver and its head represents an open book - the traditional

symbol of learning. The Mace was a gift from the University of

New South Wales to commemorate the establishment of the

University of Newcastle as an autonomous institution on 1 January,

1965. It is always borne ahead of the Chancellor in the academic

procession during formal ceremonies such as today's presentation

of academic awards.

Dear Graduates, Family Members and Friends,

Congratulations! The University is proud to honour its graduates in today's Ceremony.

Undertaking university studies involves a commitment over a considerable period and each of you will have a well-deserved sense of achievement at having successfully completed your chosen program.

For some, the aim is to secure a career or enhance career prospects. Increasingly, too, students enrol at different stages in their lives for the rewards inherent in scholarship and study as ends in themselves and to upgrade skills and knowledge. The nature of higher education today is such that students will enter and are likely to re-enter universities as part of a continuum of learning. I look forward to future Graduation Ceremonies to which some of you may return to receive additional awards.

Study at university brings with it a diversity of academic and social experiences, all of which serve to broaden our horizons, inteliectua'lly, personally and in employment. In a ' world of growing focus on the capacity to expand outlooks and capabilities, habits of learning and a university qualification are of enduring worth, and will have positive and ongoing impacts upon your quality of life and sense of well-being.

Higher education sectors throughout the world are increasingly recognising the global nature of our endeavours. The University has encouraged growth in the number of international students and welcomes the increasing diversification of our academic, social and cultural experiences. The benefits are not only to those within the University, but to the community as a whole. To ensure that programs contribute to that diversity and broaden the relevance of students' academic experiences, University curricula are developing international components and perspectives. I hope that you will continue to seek to broaden your international experiences in future pursuits.

I hope, too, that you have found your endeavours as a student and the interactions with other members of the University to be richly rewarding and wish you well for the future.

WARDEN OF CONVOCATION

Page 61

I I I

In mid-1994, staff and students of the University's Faculty of Music were invited to

submit entries for a competition to compose the University Fanfares. The

composition had to be capable of being performed either on organ or on brass.

The winning entry by Professor Robert Constable, was first played publicly at the

University's overseas graduation ceremony held in Singapore in August 1994.

The Fanfares are performed at all ceremonial functions to herald the entry and

departure of the Chancellor and other members of the Council.

Page 62

The graduation ceremony is one of great antiquity. Its essential features have been

the same since the 12th century when the first universities came into existence. Its

necessary constituents are the Chancellor or his or her deputy, the academic staff, the graduates, and the public.

The church had a monopoly of education, partly because it was the guardian of true

doctrine, and partly because clerics were almost the only people who could read and

write. As a result, the only person who could license a teacher was the bishop of a

diocese until, under pressure of other business, he deputed the task to his chief secretary or chancellor.

As learning spread, teachers wanted a licence to teach not just in one diocese, but

everywhere, and the only person who could give them that was the Pope. The

Chancellor's authority, then, came from the Pope. But at the Reformation, Henry VIII

assumed for the Crown all the rights which had previously been the Pope's in

England. That is why all subsequent universities in England have been created by

Royal Charter. It is for this reason also that the Chancellor does not wear

ecclesiastical robes, as would have been worn in the Middle Ages, but robes similar to those of the Lord Chancellor of England. /

The second group participating in the ceremony is the academic staff. In the 12th

century they would all have been called "masters" or MAs. At that date they were

paid no salaries, but hired their own lecture rooms and charged their own fees. But they also formed themselves into a guild or union, which is what universitas

originally meant. As in all guilds they were insistent that they, and only they, should

determine who should be of their number, and since this involved saying who should

be teachers, they soon found themselves in conflict with the Chancellor. In the 13th

century they won a great victory when they persuaded the Pope to decree that

Chancellors were obliged to confer degrees on all those nominated by the masters.

That is why the masters examine the candidates, why the Dean, acting as their

spokesperson, reads out the names of those who are to receive degrees, and why

the masters at this ceremony watch to see that the Chancellor or his Deputy does what is required of him.

Thirdly the graduates. The word "degree" comes from the Latin gradus, which

means "a step". When students are admitted to a Bachelor degree they move one

step up towards the mastership. When they are admitted to a master's degree they

climb another step and come up on a level with the masters, who then receive them

into their guild or universitas. In the Middle Ages they would then have stayed on

the dais, so that their old master could invest them with the symbols of office. But

that was only part of the business. The new master had to deliver an inaugural

Page 63

I I

I : I

lecture, entertain the whole guild of masters to dinner and preside over disputations

for forty days continuously. For that reason, taking one's master's degree was called

"inception", or the beginning of one's career as a master. The public is the fourth participant. It has an important function because the whole

point of the proceedings is that they should be seen and heard by valid witnesses.

The public hears the words of the Dean and the Chancellor and sees the new

graduates dressed in their respective gowns or robes. The academic gowns are derived from the everyday dress of the medieval clergy. In

the Middle Ages they were not open in front, but closed like a clergyman's cassock.

It was in about 1500 that academics had the front opened up so as to display the

fine clothes which they were wearing underneath. The hood was the normal

medieval headwear, but it soon acquired a coloured lining. By the 17th century, if

not earlier, these colours were strictly controlled so that anyone could identify from

the colour of a graduate's hood, the university and the degree.

The foregoing is an adaptation of an Address given at a Graduation Ceremony at the

University of Birmingham by Emeritus Professor R H C Davis and reprinted in his

book 'From Alfred the Great to Stephen' (Hambledon Press 1991), pp. 307-309. It is

reproduced with kind permission of the author's widow.

ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR

Australians all let us rejoice,

For we are young and free;

We've golden soil and wealth for toil;

Our home is girt by sea;

Our land abounds in nature's gifts,

Of beauty rich and rare;

In history's page, let every stage

Advance Australia Fair.

In joyful strains then let us sing

Advance Australia Fair.

The Great Hall

Most Graduation Ceremonies held by the University of Newcastle within

Australia are held in the Great Hall. It was designed by architects Ancher

Mortlock Murray and Woolley and officially opened in 1973. More than half of

the cost was donated by the community in response to an appeal launched by

the then Lord Mayor, Alderman Frank Purdue.

The auditorium seats 1450 people and the stage can accommodate a full

symphony orchestra. The stepped ceiling rises to over 19 metres and is lined

with brush-box timber from the NSW North Coast.

The stainless steel emblem of the University's Coat of Arms was made by the

Sydney designer Michael Santry, and the Hunter Tapestry was designed and

created by Mary and Larry Beetson. Its theme is the Hunter Valley and the

events which have shaped it over the millennia.

The University Medal The award of a University Medal is a rare honour made

only when there is a candidate of sufficient merit.

To be considered forthis award, a graduate must have

a consistent record of outstanding academic

achievement at all levels of a bachelor's degree program, and qualify for a

bachelor's degree with first class honours.
