15 HISTORY OF CONVOCATION In June of 1950 Memorial University held it, first convocation. which was a fairl) simplc affair. Led b) Prof. Jack Facey of Engineering (who would Ialer perform the role of marshal for 46 years). the sludents and facully mo\ed from the Parade Street campus across to SI. Pat ric"'s Hall School for the conferring of undergraduate degrees. The university presented its firsl graduatcdegrecsin May 1956 and its first honorary degree in May The ceremony for that first honorary degree. pre. eilled to Monnie Mansfield. who had been Memoria!"s regi.lrar for 30 years. sened as a dress rehear.al for the most elahorate convocalionlheuni\ersilyhaseverheld-thatfor the opening of the Elizabeth Avenue campus in October Overseeing the arrangements were Prof. Facey as the mar hal of convocation. re pon,ihle for the organizalion. direction and decorum of the occasion. and Dr. G.M. Story as the public oralor. reo ponsible for the delivery of the oration about the honorary graduands. a pecial fealure of Memoria!"s convocations. ineteen honorary degree, were conferred on a galaxy of dignitaries local. nalional and international. That day the public orator and hisdeput) each had to deliver a many as len orations, each a concise bul rhetorically lively account of the ralionale for conferringthedegree. From convocation was held in the gymnasium of the Physical Education Building. With the opening of the SI. John's Arts and Cullure Centre. Memorial in effect acquired a new convocation hall. which became the regular ite of the ceremonies after Designed partially on Ihe ideas of then-premier Joseph Smallwood. the. bac" of the stage with its descending staircase was developed specifically for Memoria!" convocation. Fall convocation was inaugurated in 1970 to accommodate increasing numbers of graduates and to support tbe threesemester academic calendar. In May graduates received degrees in the first regular session 0 f convocation held at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College. Memorial's Corner Brook campus. The ceremonial trappings of convocation began to be developed in the early 1960s. Our academic robes arc ba ed on those of Oxford Univer ity. The silver mace. the symbol of the university's authority and the presence of which ignals the official opening of convocation, and the marshal. 'stave were donated by Chancellor Lord Thomson in The chancellor's chair and a lectern were presented in 1963 by LI.-Gov. Campbell Macpherson. Other complementary birch wood furniture pieces were subsequently commissioned from the SI. John's firm of Clarmanis and Son Ltd.: the chair' bear the univer ity's coat of arms. hand carved and painted bas-relief. The signing table, gift of the former mar hal Dr. Jack Facey. was added in In 2002 plans were made to create a econd convocation furniture uite so that a complete sct would permanently re ide al each of the SI. John' and Corner Brook campuses. The de. ign of the new suite. intended 10 reflect the culture and tradition of the province. was undertaken by retired Memorial University de igner Ian Stewart: Paterson Woodworking of Upper Amher t Cove was commissioned to construct the et. The fir t piece in thi uite. a black walnut convocation table with a fish-splitting table motif. was pre enled by Lt.-Gov. Edward Robert in The desire to share the ceremonie beyond the audience seated in the Convocation hall led to televi ion coverage of the ceremonies beginning in the 1970 and. more recently.
