THE FIRST INSTALLMENT IN A SERIES ON THE INAUGURATION OF SARAH C. MANGELSDORF AS THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER\u2019S 11TH<\/sup> PRESIDENT.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

In the weeks leading up to President Sarah C. Mangelsdorf\u2019s<\/a> inauguration on Friday, October 4, one of the University\u2019s treasured artifacts\u2014the mace\u2014has been undergoing its own preparation.<\/p>\n

Ordinarily housed in the University Archives, in August the four-foot-long, 6.4-pound silver and mahogany staff journeyed to Canal Metalsmiths in nearby Fairport, where a silver section was removed and sent to an engraver in New York City, who added the name of Rochester\u2019s 11th president.<\/p>\n

During an afternoon ceremony at Eastman Theatre, Mangelsdorf will be handed the mace that now, with her name on it, marks a symbolic investiture of authority in her as president.<\/p>\n

\n

Please join us to celebrate the inauguration of Sarah C. Mangelsdorf as the University of Rochester\u2019s 11th president.<\/h4>\n

Inauguration ceremony: 2:30 p.m. at Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre.<\/p>\n

She will also be handed two other insignia: the original University of Rochester<\/a> charter, granted by the State of New York and providing for the \u201cEstablishment of an institution of the highest order for scientific and classical education\u201d; and a University seal.<\/p>\n

The seal looks<\/em> like a medal, but has a very different meaning. Each president has one of his or her own, with an individualized engraving on the back. The seal represents the president’s authority to emboss the University\u2019s official seal on diplomas and other documents.<\/p>\n

Why does the presidential inauguration\u2014both at Rochester and at many other institutions of higher learning\u2014remain so steeped in tradition, so focused on symbols of authority and its exercise?<\/p>\n

Melissa Mead, the John M. and Barbara Keil University Archivist, has wrestled with that question. Fundamentally, it has to do with honoring trust. The ritual objects \u201care making physical something that is intangible,\u201d she says. \u201cWe say to new presidents, \u2018guard this well,\u2019 and \u2018we place this in your care.\u2019 We are literally placing the physical embodiment of authority in their hands.\u201d<\/p>\n

Across many decades, these same insignia have invested authority in presidents with wide-ranging leadership styles, each of whom has also shaped his own ceremony\u2014as Mangelsdorf will do with hers on October 4.<\/p>\n

The Charter, the Seal, and the Mace<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For generations, three ritual objects have been the centerpiece of the presidential inaugural ceremony.<\/p>\n

\"archival<\/p>\n

RITUAL PROCESSION<\/strong> The mace was brand new<\/a> on November 15, 1935, when Alan Valentine was inaugurated as the University\u2019s fourth president. Holding the mace\u2014engraved with not only Valentine\u2019s name, but each president and acting president preceding him\u2014is Edwin Fauver, director of physical education. The 6-foot-plus tall Valentine, a 33-year-old historian and previous Master of Pierson College, Yale University, is directly behind him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"close-up<\/p>\n

ENGRAVING FOR POSTERITY<\/strong> A metalsmith engraves the name of George Dennis O\u2019Brien into the mace, in preparation for O\u2019Brien\u2019s inauguration as the University\u2019s eighth president, on October 1, 1984. O\u2019Brien\u2019s name was actually the 11th to be added to the mace. The first was that of Ira Harris, who led the University as chancellor before Martin Anderson was inaugurated as Rochester\u2019s first president. The mace also includes the names of acting presidents Samuel Lattimore (1896\u201398) and Henry Burton (1898\u20131900). The name of Richard Feldman, who served as interim president from March 2018 to July 2019, was added to the mace in August, along with Mangelsdorf\u2019s.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"President<\/strong><\/p>\n

FOUNDING DOCUMENT<\/strong> Joel Seligman holds up the original University charter at his inauguration as the University\u2019s 10th president on October 23, 2005. The charter dates from 1851\u2014the year after the University\u2019s founding. The regents of the University of the State of New York granted Rochester a provisional charter until it could raise $130,000\u2014$30,000 for a location and buildings, and the balance for a permanent endowment.<\/p>\n

The charter\u2019s leather binding, the work of an Albany craftsman, displays red and white hand-painted banners and an eagle\u2019s head.<\/p>\n

In 2017, the Department of Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation established the annual tradition of Charter Day<\/a>. Each year, on or around January 31, the department places the charter on public display. The charter is also digitized and accessible on the department\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"presidential<\/p>\n

A SYMBOLIC SEAL<\/strong> Dating from the University\u2019s earliest years, the official seal<\/a> is embossed on documents and engraved on one end of the mace.<\/p>\n

Each president receives a circular bronze medal engraved with the seal as well. The medal is a physical symbol of the president\u2019s authority to emboss the seal\u2014distinct from the University logo<\/a>, which is used broadly on University gear and on print and digital publications\u2014on diplomas and other official documents. At top, Robert Goergen \u201960, chair of the Board of Trustees, hands Thomas Jackson his medal at Jackson\u2019s inauguration as the University\u2019s ninth president on October 22, 1994.<\/p>\n

While the seal dates from the University\u2019s earliest years, the details of its design have changed. Jackson was the first president to be presented with the most recent incarnation. One design element has been consistent from the beginning: the University\u2019s motto, Meliora.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"four<\/p>\n

THE KEYS TO THE UNIVERSITY<\/strong> A fourth insignia\u2014a set of keys to the University\u2014was once handed to the president at inauguration. Early presidents, such as Martin Anderson, whose campus until the 1870s consisted of a single building, made good use of them. By the time Cornelis de Kiewiet (second from right) was inaugurated as the University\u2019s fifth president on June 11, 1951, the keys were purely symbolic, and his was the last inauguration to include them. Vice President and Treasurer Raymond Thompson is holding the keys; Provost Donald Gilbert, the seal; and University Librarian John Russell, the charter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"President<\/p>\n

SPECIAL GUESTS AND DIGNITARIES<\/strong> New presidents invite colleagues from around the nation, including leaders of other universities, to their inaugural ceremonies. Some have also used the occasion to present honorary degrees. At his inauguration as the University\u2019s sixth president on May 17, 1963, W. Allen Wallis presents an honorary degree to former president of the United States Dwight Eisenhower. Wallis, an economist and statistician, had been a special assistant to Eisenhower during Eisenhower\u2019s second presidential term. Eisenhower had also been a university president himself\u2014Columbia\u2019s 13th president, from 1948 until 1953. Appearing on either side of Eisenhower and Wallis are Joe Howland, professor of radiation biology (left), and Gilbert McCurdy, a University trustee.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Four<\/p>\n

\"Singer<\/p>\n

CELEBRATING IN SONG<\/strong> Every inauguration ceremony has incorporated music, and the selections have varied widely. At the inauguration of Robert Sproull (right, shaking the hand of predecessor W. Allen Wallis) as the University\u2019s seventh president on February 1, 1975, the Eastman Philharmonia performed \u201cPan and the Priest,\u201d by Howard Hanson, then director emeritus of the Eastman School of Music; \u201cLeonore Overture No. 3, Op. 72,\u201d by Beethoven; and closed with John Braund \u201953, \u201961W (Mas), associate director of alumni relations, leading in the singing of \u201cThe Genesee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mangelsdorf\u2019s inauguration will include multiple performances by Eastman School of Music musicians and ensembles, as well as a piece commissioned by prominent film composer Jeff Beal \u201985E. It, too, will close with a performance of \u201cThe Genesee,\u201d this time by University a cappella groups.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"student<\/p>\n

OH, THE PLACES THEY\u2019LL GO<\/strong>\u00a0Student leaders are traditionally among those who welcome the new president. President Mangelsdorf will be welcomed at her inauguration by Students\u2019 Association President Jamal Holtz \u201920. Welcoming President Jackson at his 1994 inauguration is Student\u00a0 Association President Josh Shapiro \u201995, now attorney general of the state of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n
