South-Carolina
Presidential Investiture
College Mace
The gleaming silver-and-gilt mace is almost 4 toes lengthy and options the seals
of the college, the State of South Carolina and america. From the center
arises a stylistic illustration of the State Tree, the palmetto. Adopted in 1967,
the mace is carried in procession on events of excellent significance, comparable to
commencements, convocations and formal dedications.
