    The Convocation Ceremony
    Convocation is the most solemn ceremony within the university community. Since their
    beginnings in the Middle Ages, universities have performed this ceremony in order to grant
    degrees to their students and also to welcome those students into the community of scholars
    which has trained them.
    The conferring of the degree is symbolized either by an acknowledgement or handshake from
    the chancellor or the president or other conferring ofcers of the university.
    As an outward sign of his or her new state, the student wears a hood. Each degree within
    a university has a hood of unique colours and trim in order that the student’s status may be
    recognized—indeed every university guards its own set of hoods from use by any other university.

    The Wilfrid Laurier University Mace
    The mace of Wilfrid Laurier University was ofcially presented by the Euler family at the 1963
    fall convocation in memory of The Honourable W.D. Euler, former senator of Canada and the frst
    chancellor of the university. It weighs 16 pounds and was manufactured by the frm of Henry Birks
    Limited, Montreal.
    The ferrule near the base of the shaft contains ivory from a walrus tusk obtained from Coral
    Harbour, Northwest Territories. The shaft, representing the 10 provinces, merges into the head
    of the mace which bears the provincial crests. The wood used at the point where the shaft meets
    the head of the mace is elm taken from the bannister post of Conrad Hall, the original seminary
    building. Above this are four crests relating to the history of the institution: a crest of Waterloo
    County, the Luther Coat of Arms, the crest of the Waterloo Lutheran Seminary and the coat of
    arms of the University of Western Ontario.
    The head of the mace is made of maple and bears the Federal Coat of Arms, above which is
    the monogram of Queen Elizabeth II, during whose reign the university’s charter was granted.
    On the reverse side is the crest of Wilfrid Laurier University and the monogram of King George V,
    during whose reign the original charter was granted. The top of the mace is a crown, mounted
    with jewels, symbolizing the authority of the State.

    The Marshal’s Baton
    Dr. Fred Binding, a faculty member in the Department of Psychology for 32 years retired in July
    2003. He had served as the university marshal for 10 years. Sadly, Dr. Binding died in August 2003.
    In memory of his contribution to convocation ceremonies, artist Rex Lingwood was commissioned
    to create a marshal’s baton.
    In the baton, there’s a range of visual references that relate to the graduation ceremony, both
    directly and symbolically. The baton’s design echoes the elaborate theatricality of the ceremony
    and the fair brought to the occasion by Dr. Binding.
    The commission of the baton was made possible with the generous support of the Department
    of Psychology and Wilfrid Laurier University Retirees’ Association.

Honorary Degrees and Other Awards
Honorary degrees are conferred by Wilfrid Laurier University in recognition of outstanding
scholarly, creative, or professional achievement or distinguished public and community service.
The university may grant the following honorary degrees: Doctor of Laws (LLD), Doctor of
Letters (DLitt), Doctor of Science (DSc) and Doctor of Divinity (DDiv).
The Order of Wilfrid Laurier honours worthy recipients who have a record of exemplary and
distinguished service to the university.
The Distinguished Governor Award provides a mechanism for recognizing retiring and retired
members of the Board of Governors who have given outstanding service to Laurier.
The University Research Professor Award recognizes and rewards a continuous record of

The Academic Degrees
The academic degree is a title conferred on an individual by a university as recognition of the
completion of a course of study or for a certain attainment. In Canada, the three stages in
higher education are represented by the degrees of bachelor, master, and doctor. Wilfrid Laurier
University is given the authority to grant degrees by the Wilfrid Laurier University Act.
The bachelor’s degree is awarded at the honours, without honours or general specifed, and
the general level. An honours degree program emphasizes the acquisition of a broad and deep
knowledge of the student’s chosen honours subject. The four-year BA without honours or
general, is awarded to students who have met all honours course requirements and includes
their specialization. A general degree program emphasizes a balance between an in-depth
understanding of the student’s major subject and a knowledge and appreciation of other felds.
The master’s degree is the second degree in higher education. Students complete concentrated
and specialized work at a more advanced level in an academic discipline or professional area.
Most course work is within the feld of specialization and a research project or thesis is normally
required. Some master’s degrees provide professional qualifcations.
The doctoral degree is the highest academic degree granted by a university. Candidates for
the degree spend several years in the advanced study of a specialized feld of knowledge. The
capstone of the degree is the doctoral dissertation, an extended work based upon independent
research. The dissertation demonstrates the candidate’s command of both the subject matter
and the exacting methods of scholarship, and makes an original contribution to knowledge.

                                                                                                                            3

WILFRID LAURIER UNIVERSITY

The History of Laurier’s Brantford Campus
Laurier opened its Brantford campus to students and to higher education in September 1999.
The opening was the result of a process that began in 1996, when the Brant Community
Futures Development Corporation commissioned a business plan for the establishment
of a university in Brantford. The plan became a catalyst for community discussions which
culminated in the establishment of a Brant University Steering Committee in 1997. It was this
committee which presented an ofcial proposal to Wilfrid Laurier University in 1998.
Many members of the Brant community played an important role in bringing the university
to Brantford. They include the Grand Valley Educational Society; Brantford Mayor Chris Friel
and Brant County Mayor Ron Eddy.
Since its inception, Laurier’s Brantford campus has been characterized by academic
innovation and:

1. A commitment to the liberal arts and sciences and their ability to provide students with
   the skills and knowledge relevant to contemporary issues and concerns;
2. A problem-centred, interdisciplinary approach to teaching and research;
3. A multitude of programs which combine the liberal arts with applied professional and
   occupational programs that further the vocations of our students;
4. A close knit community of students, faculty and staf which promotes energy and
   enthusiasm and positive relations with the local community that supports us.
Thanks to the work of these and many others, Laurier’s Brantford campus now stands as a
testament to the conviction—shared by the university, the City of Brantford and the County
of Brant—that post-secondary education can play a transformational role in a community.

                                                                                                                            5
