Drawings of the 1949 Dalhousie University mace

  • 2017-003, OS Folder 1
  • File
  • 1949

File contains 15 drawings of the ceremonial mace designed in 1949 by Chasteney Holbourne Saunders, former head of the Department of Anatomy. The mace was carved in oak, decorated with silver and enamel, and measured 1.4 metres in length. First used in the 1950 convocation, the mace was retired in 1919 when the university introduced the "New Dawn Staff of Place and Belonging" as its ceremonial object.

There is one full-scale drawing in ink and three reduced reproductions mounted on board. The remainder are rough sketches and detail drawings in pencil of the emblems and figures that Saunders employed to represent maritime traditions and the historical significance of Dalhousie’s service to the Atlantic provinces.

Dalhousie Arts Building

Subseries comprises records created or collected by the Office of the Architect and Facilities Management at Dalhousie University related to the design, construction and renovations/additions to an arts building at Dalhousie, which the administration called the Law (Temporarily Arts) Building. It was occupied by arts faculty until 1952, when it did briefly house the law school; in 1967 it became the Faculty Club, which is now known as the University Club. The third building on Studley Campus, it was a part of the original campus plan drawn up by Toronto architect Frank Darling in collaboration with Halifax-based architect Andrew R. Cobb and Dalhousie's governors. The subseries also includes drawings for a later building planned as an Arts Building, which was never constructed.
