The handsome mace and chain of office are the gifts of local donors. The two insignia were designed and executed by a nationally known gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt J. Matzdorf of the State University College, New Paltz, NewYork. The College Mace THr Mecs is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower end of the hammered shalt is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 1933." Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous community of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is clearly stated in the giltinscription around theupperpartof the bowl: "unity Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt seal of Vlilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flameJike structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community and the College in its coal mining past. TheChainof Offiee Tnr Cnerrv or Orrrcr of the President of Wilkes College is four feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt fames repeating the motif of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the chain is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong leadership of the College. �ALMA MATER Wilkes, our Alma Mater, We pledge our hearts to thee, Honor, faith, and courage, Truth and loyalty. In our work and in our pleasure, Guide us ds a friend; We shall always love thee, Loyal to the end. Thou shalt lead us onward In search of finer things. Mr)rwefind thewisdom That thy spirit brings.

The handsome mace and chain of office are the gifts of local donors. The two insignia were designed and executed by a nationally kno-vm gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt !. Matzdorf of the State University College, New Paltz, New York. TheCollegeMace Tnr Mecr is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper end of the shaft displays t}e inscription "Wilkes College 1933." Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous community of people of many difierent backgrounds. This theme is clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl: "Llnity Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flame-like structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community and the College in ir coal mining past. TheChainof Office Tnr Cnerw or Orrrcr of the President of Wilkes College is four feet long and is made oI sterling silver throughout. The links of the chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes C.ollege suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the eJrain is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong leadership of the College. ��ALMA MATER Wilkes, our Alma Mater, We pledge our hearts to thee, Honor, faith, and, courage, Truth and loyalty. In our work and in our pleasure, Guide us as a friend; We shall always love thee, Loyal to the end. Thou shalt lead us onward. In search of finer things. M*ywefind thewisdom That thy spirit brings.

The handso*e mace and chain of office are the gifu of local donors. The two insignia were designed and executed by a nationally known gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt J. Matzdorf of the State University College, New Paltz, New York. The College Mace IVIecr is rnade of sterling silver throughout. At the lower end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper end of the shalt displays the inscription "Wilkes College 193-3." Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous community of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is clearly stated d til gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl: "Uniiy Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt fame-like structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center of this &fame" to commemorate the origin of the community and the College in its coal mining past. Tur The Cltain of Office Tns CHArN or Orrlcr of the President of wilkes college is four feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the chain aie alternating silver bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the eirain is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of W_ ilkes Co[lege, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong leadership of the College. ��ALMA MATER Wilkes, our Alma Mater, We pledge our hearts to thee, Honor, faith, and courag€, Truth and loyalty.

The handsome mace and chain of office are the gifts of local donors. The two insignia were designed and executed by a nationally known gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt J. Matzdorf of the State University College, New Paltz, New York. The College Mace Tnu Mecs is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 1933." Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous cornmunity of people of many difierent backgrounds. This theme is clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl: "LJnity Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flame-like structure to indieate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community and the College in its coal mining past. The Chain of Office Tnr Cnanv or Orncr of the President of Wilkes College is four feet long and is made of steriing silver throughout. The links of the chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the elain is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong leadership of the College. �'6- .. { ALMA MATER Wilkes, our Alma Mater, We pledge our hearts to thee, Honor, faith, and courag€, Truth and loyalty.

The handsome mace and chain of office are the gifts of local donors. The two insignia were designed and executed by a nationally known gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt J. Matzdorf of the State University College, New Paltz, New York. The College Mae.e Tnr Mecr is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 1933." Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous community of people of many diif"r"rrt baekgrounds. This theme is clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl: "Unity Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flameJike structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community and the College in its coal mining past. The Chain of Office Tnr Cnew or Orncr of the President of Wilkes College is four feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt fames repeating the motif of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the chain is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong leadership of the College. 1. ��ALMA MATER Wilkes, our Alma Mater, We pledge our hearts to thee, Honor, faith, and courage, Truth and loyalty.

The handsome mac€ and chain of office are the gifts of local donors. The two insignia were designed and executed by a nationally known gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt J. Matzdorf of the State University College, New Paltz, New York. The College Mace THr MecB is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 1933." Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous community of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl: "tlnity Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flameJike structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community and the Collegein its coal miningpast. The Chain of Offiee Tns CHArry or Orrrcr of the President of Wilkes College is four feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the chain is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, frrst president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong leadership of the College. �ALMA MATER Wilkes, our Alma Mater, We pledge our hearts to thee, Honor, faith, and courag€, Truth and loyalty. In our work and in our pleasure, Guide us as a friend; We shall always love thee, Loyal to the end. Thou sh4lt lead us onward In search o[ finer things. May we find the wisdom That thy spirit brings. Mry our deeds of love and service Ever swell thy f46s - Wilkes, we stand to greet thee! Glory to thy name. *{@,*"trffb Words and music by Eleanor C.

The handsome mace and chain of office are the gifts of local donors. The two insignia were designed and executed by a nationally known gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt ]. Matzdorf of the State University College, New Palu, New York. The College Mace Tnr Mecs is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 1933." Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous community of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl: "Unity Amidst Diversity." Set into th. top of the bowl is the gilt seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flame-like structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community and the Collegein its eoalminingpast. TheChainof Office Tnr CnerN or Orrrcr of the President of Wilkes College is four feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif of the mac€. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the chain is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes ColIege, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong leadership of the College. �ALMA MATER Wilkes, our Alma Mater, We pledge our hearts to thee, Honor, faith, and courag€, Truth and loyalty.

WilliamMiller �I MACE AND CHAIN OF OFFICE The inauguration of President Michelini marked the first ceremonial use of two important insignia recently given to Wilkes College. The handsomi mace and chain of office are the gifts of local donors. The two insignia were designed and executed by a nationally known gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt |. Matzdorf of the State University College, New Paltz, New York. TheCollegeMace lVlacr is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper o'Wilkes College 1933." end of the shaft displays the inscription Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous community of people of many difierent backgrounds. This theme is clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl: "Unity Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flame-like structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center of this "flame" to eommemorate the origin of the community and the Collegein its coal mining past. Tnr The Clnin of Office Tnr CnerN or Orncr of the President of Wilkes College is four feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt fames repeating the motif of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the eJrain is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong leadership of the College. �ALMA h{ATER Wilkes, our Alma Mater, We pledge our hearts to thee, Honor, faith, and courag€, Truth and loyalty. In our work and in our pleasure, Guide us as a friend; We shall ahn als love thee, Loyal to the end. Thou shalt lead us onward In search of finer things. May we find the wisdom That thy spirit brings. Mry our deeds of love and service Ever swell thy f4s1s - Wilkes, we stand to greet theet Glory to thy name. :181'--'nb ll/srds and music by Eleanor C.

Wirkman Barbara Elizabeth Metroka Christopher !. Woolverton �iVIACE AND CHAIN OF OFFICE The inauguration of President Michelini marked the first ceremonial use of two important insignia recently given to Wilkes College. The handsome macr and chain of offica are the gifts of local donors. The two insignia were designed and exeeuted by a nationally known gold and silversmith, Professor Kurt f. Matzdorf of the State University College, New Paltz, NewYork. The College Mace Tns Macs is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 1933." Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous community of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl: "Unity Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flame-like structure to indicate the enkghtenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community and the Collegein its coalminingpast. TheChain of Office Tsr CnerN or Orrrcr of the President of Wilkes College is four feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the chain are altemating silver bowls and gilt flames repeating the moti{ of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wlkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the chain is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to cpmmemorate his strong leadership of the College. �ALMA IVIATER Wilkes, our Alma Mater, We pledge our hearts to thee, Honor, faith, and courage, Truth and loyalty. In our work and in our pleasure, Guide us as a friend; We shall always love thee, Loyal to the end. Thou shalt lead us onward In search of finer things. May we find the wisdom That thy spirit brings. May our deeds of love and service Ever swell thy faps - Wilkes, we stand to greet thee! Glory to thy name. - \l'rs1ds and music by Eleanor C.

The handsome mace and chain of office are the gifts of local donors. The two insignia were designed by Ottie Hill Chwalek'61 and Kurt J. Matzdorf oI the State University College, New Paltz, New York. executed by a nationally known gold and silversmith, Professor The College Mace Tsr Mecr is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower end of the hammered shaft is a gilt (gold-plated) knob. The upper end of the shaft displays the inscription "Wilkes College 1933." Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that Wilkes-Barre acted as a melting pot in forming a new and vigorous community of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of t"he bowl: "[Jnity Amidst Diversity." Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt flame-like structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set in the center of this "flame" to commemorate the origin of the community and the College in its coal mining past. The Chain of Office Tnr Cneru or Orrrcr of the President of Wilkes College is four feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links of the chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt flames repeating the motif of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of Wilkes College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns to suggest the strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the chain is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to commemorate his strong leadership of the College. �ALMA MATER Wilkes, our Alma Mater, We ptedge our hearts to thee, Honor, faith, and courage, Truth and loyalty. In our work and in our Pleasure, Guide us as a friend; We shall always love thee, Loyal to the end. Thou shalt lead us onward In search of finer things. May we find the wisdom That thy spirit brings.

The handsome maoe and chain of office are the gifts of local donors. The two insignia were designd by Ottie Hill Chwalek,6l and Kurt f. Matzdorf of the State Universiry College, New palu, New york. executed by a nationally known gold and silversmith, Professor TheCollege Mace Tnr Mecr is made of sterling silver throughout. At the lower end of the hammered $aft is a gilt (gold-platea) UoU. The upper end of the shaft displays the inscription-"wilkes college Is.iT3.' Above the shorq hammered neck iises a bowl to indicate that wilkes-Barre acted as melting pot in forming a new and vigorous I cgmT"nity of people of many different backgrounds. This theme is glearly stated in the gilt inscription around the upper part of the bowl: "unity Amidst Diversityi' set into the top oi thu hwr is the gilt seal of wilkes college. The top of the *o.u- is a gilt flame-like structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a local mine is set irithe center of this "flamd' to commemorate the origin of the community and the College in its coal mining past. TheChainof Office orrrcr of the President of wilkes college is four feet long and is made of sterling silver throughout. The links oI the chain are alternating silver bowls and gilt flames rerpeating the motif of the mace. In the front.hangs the grlt seal of wilkes cL[ug" r,rspended- from a cluster of oak Ieaves with three acorns to suggist the strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of ttru.h"in is a silver portrait of Eugene s. Farley, first president of wilkes lollege, set in a cluster of gilt oak leaves to comiremorate his strong leadership of the College.
