York University's mace

We communications folk had a meeting in the new YorkU Conference Room to discuss a big event for the university that will be revealed on September 20.

In the room, in a wood and glass display case was our mace. I saw it very briefly at my convocation in 2010 but got a good look at it today. It's quite large and looks rather heavy. It was give to York University in February of 1964 by Toronto City Council.

Read the 2005 YFILE story: "Getting a closer look at convocation's mace" for a fascinating account of the history of this mace and maces, generally. More photos there, too.
