Concordia Regalia

So, we have some pretty sweet bling here, such as The Chain of Office


"A Chain of Office is a concrete symbol of the authority and dignity of that office. They are traditional for many formal offices, and are very frequently used in university ceremonies. They can be used either with formal academic robes, or on appropriate occasions they can also substitute for the more formal academic robes... The Chain of Office is a silver medallion about three inches in diameter, embossed only with the official Coat of Arms of Concordia University; it hangs on a simple silver chain. Significant dates in the history of the University are engraved on the edge of the medallion..."

And we have a mace too:

"The University Mace traditionally symbolizes the authority of the institution. Concordia began using a mace at Convocation only a few years ago, and it will be used at the Installation of the President for the first time. It will be carried by the Installation Marshall, Dr. Jane Stewart." (keep in mind this was originally posted in 2005)
