SPRING CONVOCATION 2015 HISTORY OF CONVOCATION

In June of 1950 Memorial University

held its first Convocation, which was a

fairly simple affair. Led by Engineering

professor Dr. Jack Facey (who would later

perform the role of Convocationmarshal for 46 years), the students

and faculty moved from the Parade

Street campus across to St. Patrick’s

Hall School for the conferring of

undergraduate degrees. The university

presented its first graduate degrees

in May 1956 and its first honorary

degree in May 1960.

The ceremony for that first honorary

degree, presented to Monnie

Mansfield, who had been Memorial’s

registrar for 30 years, served as a

dress rehearsal for the most elaborate

Convocation the university has ever

held – that for the opening of the

Elizabeth Avenue campus in October

1961. Overseeing the arrangements

were Dr. Facey as the marshal of

Convocation, responsible for the

organization, direction and decorum

of the occasion, and Dr. G.M. Story as

the public orator, responsible for the

delivery of the orations about the

honorary graduands, a special feature

of Memorial’s Convocations. Nineteen

honorary degrees were conferred on agalaxy of dignitaries local, national

and international. That day the public

orator and his deputy each had to

deliver as many as 10 orations, each a

concise but rhetorically 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

of the St. John’s Arts and Culture

Centre, Memorial in effect acquired anew Convocation hall, which became

the regular site of the ceremonies after

1970. Designed partially on the ideas

of then-Premier Joseph Smallwood, the

back of the stage with its descending

staircase was developed specifically

for Memorial’s Convocation. Fall

Convocation was inaugurated in 1970

to accommodate increasing numbers

of graduates and to support the

three-semester academic calendar.

In May 1992, 23 graduates received

degrees in the first regular session of

Convocation held at Sir Wilfred

Grenfell College, Memorial’s Corner

Brook campus (now Grenfell Campus).

The ceremonial trappings of

Convocation began to be developed

in the early 1960s. Our academic

robes are based on those of Oxford

University. The silver mace – the

symbol of the university’s authority

and the presence of which signals the

official opening of Convocation – and

the marshals’ staves were donated by

Chancellor Lord Thomson in 1961.

The original chancellor’s chair and a

lectern were presented in 1963 by

then-Lieutenant Governor Campbell

Macpherson. Other complementary

birch wood furniture pieces were

subsequently commissioned from the

St. John’s firm of Clarmanis and Son

Ltd.; the chairs bear the university’s

coat of arms, hand carved and painted

bas-relief. The signing table, gift of

the former marshal Dr. Jack Facey,

was added in 1996.

In 2002 plans were made to create a

second Convocation furniture suite so

that a complete set would permanentlyreside at each of the St. John’s and

Corner Brook campuses. The design

of the new suite, intended to reflect

the culture and traditions of the

province, was undertaken by retired

Memorial University designer Ian

Stewart; Paterson Woodworking

of Upper Amherst Cove was

commissioned to construct the set.

The first piece completed in this suite,

a black walnut Convocation table with

a fish-splitting table motif, was

presented by then-LieutenantGovernor Edward Roberts in 2003.

The kneeler was donated in 2005 by

honorary graduate Alan Perry. Hon.

Dr. Roberts and his brother Douglas

Roberts sponsored the signing table

and bench, completed in 2005, as well

as the chancellor’s chair and the four

companion chairs, which were

completed in 2006. They also donated

the two speaker’s lecterns, which were

completed in 2007. The Roberts’

contributions to the suite of furniture

were undertaken in memory of their

father, Dr. Harry D. Roberts, a graduate

of Memorial University College (’31), an

honorary graduate of Memorial University

and for many years a member of the Boardof Regents.

In 2009, on the occasion of the 100th

regular session of Convocation,

composer and retired professor of

classics at Grenfell Campus, Dr. Michael

Parker, was commissioned to create a

special suite of music for Convocation

ceremonies. The suite premiered at Spring

Convocation 2009 and is dedicated to

the late Ferriss Hodgett, vice-principal of

Grenfell Campus, 1975-1992.

The desire to share the ceremonies

beyond the audience seated in the

Convocation hall led to television

coverage of the ceremonies beginning

in the 1970s and, more recently,

webcasting (by the university’s Distance

Education, Learning and Teaching Support

unit) which virtually brings the ceremony to

the whole world via the university website

at www.mun.ca. Other university units

that play a role in Convocation include

the Office of the Registrar and the School

of Graduate Studies, which ensure that

students have completed their programsand are certified for their degrees; the

Division of Marketing and Communications,

which coordinates the logistics of this

special event and assists the graduands

with preparations for the ceremony and the

celebrations surrounding it; and the Office

of Alumni Affairs and Development, which

welcomes graduates into the Memorial

University Alumni Association.

Convocation has been a day of pride

for thousands of students and more

than 500 honorary graduates, resultingin more than 85,000 alumni members

worldwide. While our Convocation, as a

ceremonial occasion, has grown from the

practices and procedures of older

universities, after more than half a

century it has become a distinctive

event for all who attend, be they

distinguished guests or faculty,

honorary graduates or our students

who are, as they should be, the

focus of the event.
