The handro*J **.u 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 Me.cr 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 stat€d in the gilt inscription around the uPPer part of the bowl: "tfnity 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 ,t*.tor" 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. Tnr TheCltainof Office Tnp CnerN oF OFFTcB 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 maca. 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. �ALI\4A I\,IATER Wilkes, our AIma Mater, We pledge our hearts to thee, Honor, faith, and couragg 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, 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. Mry our deeds of love and service Ever swell thy fame - Wilkes, we stand to greet thee! Glory to thy name. *{6-"sr,Atrb' - 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 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.

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.
