THE RITUALS OF CONVOCATION
The procession of the graduands in plain black gowns and of faculty and officers of the University in
colourful and varied regalia; the blue-robed Bedel with his ornate silver Mace; the conferring of degrees
by the Chancellor; these are among the rituals of Convocation that stand in a tradition that has a history
of more than 700 years.
McMASTER UNIVERSITY:
The University’s Mace is carried to and from the Convocation
platform by the University Bedel and during the ceremony is
splendidly displayed on the Mace Table, resting on a velvet
cushion. The cushion is maroon with a piping of grey, the
McMaster colours. The Mace symbolizes the authority of the
University Senate to confer degrees, this authority being exercised
by the Chancellor.
1892 – 1895 Theodore H. Rand
Bedels were functionaries and maces were weapons hundreds of
years before universities emerged in the 12th and 13th centuries.
So it is that McMaster’s Bedel carries the University Mace directly
in front of the Chancellor, symbolically to protect her.
CHANCELLORS
1887 – 1890 Malcolm Mac Vicar
1895 – 1905 Oates C. S. Wallace
1905 – 1911 Alexander C. McKay
1911 – 1922 Abraham L. McCrimmon
1922 – 1941 Howard P. Whidden
The University
Mace was a gift
in 1950 from the
class of 1900
1941 – 1950 George P. Gilmour
1950 – 1955 E. Carey Fox
1955 – 1960 Roy L. Kellock
1960 – 1965 Charles P. Fell
The Chancellor sits on a massive oak ceremonial chair that bears
a carved representation of an early version of the University Seal.
She requests that members of the graduating classes rise from
their seats and then admits them to their respective degrees.
The graduating classes are then invited to join the Chancellor on
stage. Once a graduate’s name is called, they are hooded facing
the audience, and then are congratulated and welcomed to the
community of scholars by the Chancellor and President.
1965 – 1971 D. Argue C. Martin
1971 – 1977 Lawrence T. Pennell
1977 – 1986 H. Allan B. Leal
1986 – 1992 John H. Panabaker
1992 – 1998 James H. Taylor
1998 – 2007 Melvin M. Hawkrigg
The academic hood is symbolic of admission to a university degree
and carries colours specific to a particular degree. It is derived
from clothing worn in medieval times, when a hood was similar to
that of a modern parka and served the same purpose of protection
in inclement weather. The hood that the Registrar or pro-Registrar
deftly puts over a graduand’s head is a link to the dress of students
of at least seven centuries ago.

PRESIDENTS
1949 – 1961 George P. Gilmour
The backdrop to the Convocation platform displays McMaster’s Coat of Arms. The symbol of the stag and
tree, constituting the crest of these Arms, was the personal emblem of Senator William McMaster, whose
munificent benefaction made possible the founding of the University in 1887. Handcrafted by Dorothy
Gregson and Margaret Wallace, this banner celebrated 30 years of service at McMaster Convocation
ceremonies in 2014.
The President of the University attends Convocation but it is the Chancellor, the titular head of the
University, who presides over this ancient ceremonial. Her seniority is indicated by her robe being more
elegant than the President’s. The President relieves the Chancellor of making announcements, may
present an honorary graduand for his or her degree and, as Vice-Chancellor, confers degrees when the
Chancellor is unable to do so.
1961 – 1972 Henry G. Thode
1972 – 1980 Arthur N. Bourns
1980 – 1990 Alvin A. Lee
1990 – 1995 Geraldine A. Kenney-Wallace

A Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, Bedel and Registrar share with a seal, mace, colours, robes and coat of
arms a history of hundreds of years of association with universities. Each of these traditional inheritances
is a part of McMaster University and all of them come together on the platform of its Convocations.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Convocation is an exciting time in the calendar of any university; a time to celebrate achievement, to reflect
on the past, and to anticipate the future and the path that lies ahead. It also represents a time of liberation,
the ending of one phase of life and a last, symbolic statement of the discipline to which students have been
required to submit themselves throughout their studies.
While it is impossible at such events not to celebrate the infinite promise of individual lives, it is important
to be aware of the communal significance of convocation. In the ancient English universities, convocation
was the legislative body that oversaw operations of the institution, and to be admitted to a degree was to be
admitted to membership. By extension, therefore, convocation was a reaffirmation of not an individual but a
joint enterprise.
Students today have learned the importance of collaboration and partnership, and more than ever understand
that the future health, prosperity and cultural vitality of our society depends upon our ability to cooperate,
to act together, and to learn from one another. My fervent hope is that graduating students will see their
convocation not as an end of growing together, but rather as an opportunity for deepening that process. As
alumni they will have many opportunities to renew existing partnerships, and they will be well prepared to
forge new ones in the greater community beyond our own.
Personal fulfillment through community: this is indeed one of the longstanding paradoxes of university life, but
it is surely also a sound principle for us all to pursue in the world at large. In wishing today’s graduating students
good luck, I feel great confidence in our joint future and great anticipation of everything that, collectively, they
will achieve.
Patrick Deane
President and Vice-Chancellor

Bill Wilkerson, Doctor of Laws
Bill Wilkerson is one of Canada’s most influential mental health advocates and the co-founder of the Global Business and Economic
Roundtable on Addiction and Mental Health, a national non-profit organization that advocates – with great success – for corporate

quantitative, dynamically based science and he has been at the forefront of a broad effort to build dynamical models encompassing both
ecological and social-economic dynamics. His work helps reveal what makes ecological, financial and economic systems vulnerable to
collapse and he is a leader in the study of managing public goods and common-pool resources.
Levin has received a number of international awards including the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences’ Heineken Prize for
Environmental Sciences, the Kyoto Prize for Basic Sciences, the Ramon Margalef Prize of Ecology from the Government of Catalonia, and the

Dr. Jenna Gillen
Jenna Gillen completed her PhD under the supervision of Dr. Martin Gibala in the Department of Kinesiology. Jenna’s research interests lie

on the optimal exercise prescription for improving health. Jenna has published 17 peer-reviewed articles, including several studies that
attracted international media attention. Her ability and potential has been recognized with numerous institutional, national and international
awards. Jenna recently received the Graduate Student Award from the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology. She has also received
prestigious salary awards from two different Tri-Council agencies: an NSERC Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship supported her doctoral
studies and Jenna has been awarded a CIHR Postdoctoral Fellowship for tenure at the University of Michigan starting in January 2016.
