Des plus brillants exploits.
Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

CON VOCATION AT CARLETON UNIVERSIT Y
HISTORY
The open book on the maple leaf signifies that
Carleton University is in the nation’s capital and
that learning is open to all who wish to partake
of it. The phoenix, the legendary eternal bird,
symbolizes the renewing of learning from older
foundations, in recognition of Henry Marshall
Tory’s role in the founding of the University
when he was 78 years old. Ours the Task Eternal
is taken from a Walt Whitman poem entitled
Pioneers and ties in with the eternal quality of the
phoenix.
Carleton University is unique within the Ontario
university system for several reasons. It was
founded in 1942, not by state or church, but
through a community movement initiated by the
YMCA to provide non-sectarian education for
the thousands of men and women who came to
Ottawa in support of the war effort. Because of
these roots, Carleton has, throughout its history,
attempted to meet the needs of the community
by making its programs and resources widely
available through innovative technologies and
lifelong learning opportunities.
The Carleton University coat of arms therefore
symbolizes sound learning, good citizenship, and
the highest hopes of humanity.
Today, Carleton stands among the best
comprehensive universities in Canada. It is
a dynamic, research-intensive university,
committed to providing an outstanding learning
experience for its more than 25,000 students.
The University offers more than 100 majors,
specializations and concentrations in areas as
diverse as public affairs, journalism, art and
culture, engineering, high technology, and
international studies. Today’s Convocation
ceremony (the calling together of the academic
assembly) has its roots in university traditions of
medieval Europe.
THE MACE
The mace is a staff
symbolizing authority. In the
days of knighthood, it was a
weapon, but after the 16th
century, it became solely a
symbol of authority carried
by a distinguished member
of an assembly. It is used
on ceremonial occasions
to signify the right of an
individual or institution to
perform a certain function —
in the case of universities, to
Carleton University celebrates the 70th
anniversary of awarding degrees in 2016. On this
occasion, we take special pleasure in honouring
and applauding past and present graduates.
grant degrees.
At Convocation, the mace is carried by the
Marshal of Convocation. During the ceremony,
the mace is displayed as an embodiment of the
authority of the University.
COAT OF AR MS
The coat of arms
was presented to
the University by His
Excellency The Right
Honourable Ramon John
Hnatyshyn, Governor
General of Canada, on
November 15, 1992, as
part of Carleton’s 50th
anniversary celebrations.
It is described in heraldic
terms as follows: Sable a
maple leaf Gules irradiated
and charged with an open book Argent; And
for a Crest: On a wreath Argent Sable and Gules
a Phoenix Gules quilled and beaked Or issuing
from flames proper; And for a Motto: Ours the
Task Eternal; And for Supporters: on a grassy
mount on either side a raven Sable beaked and
membered or armed Gules.
Carleton’s mace was presented to the University
in 1976 as a gift from the Chair of the Board of
Governors at that time, Mr. Hyman Soloway. It
is a silver-plated staff about one metre long. At
the upper end there is a bowl marked with the
University’s coat of arms and the University motto
in Latin and English — Opera Nobis Aeterna and
Ours the Task Eternal. From the upper portion of
the bowl rises a phoenix. Traditional oak leaves
surround the lower end of the staff.
THE DIPLOMA
The diploma the graduates receive at
Convocation is the certificate of qualification
which publishes the fact that the student has
fulfilled all the requirements and completed
the prescribed course of study for the degree.
As the senior academic legislative body of the
University, it is the Senate which has determined
3
whether the requirements have been met. The
signatures of the Chancellor and the President
of the University appear on the diploma: the
Chancellor because of his role in conferring
the degree, and the President who, as Chair of
Senate, certifies that Senate has enacted the
required motion to award the degree. The Seal
of the University is affixed to the diploma as a
mark of authentication.
The two shades of blue in the doctoral gown
are those of the United Nations, and recognize
the University’s long-standing interest, from its
earliest years, in international affairs and issues.
The colours were chosen when the University
awarded its first honorary degree in 1954 to the
second secretary general of the United Nations,
Dag Hammarskjöld. The tradition of awarding
honorary degrees to secretaries general of the
United Nations has continued since that time.
ACADEMIC DRESS
The gown of the honorary Doctor of Laws,
Literature, Music, Science, Engineering,
Architecture or Fine Arts is a full robe with
bell-shaped sleeves. It is made of fine royal
blue cloth with facings and sleeves in light blue
silk. The hood is made of the same material as
the gown, has the same lining as that for the
degrees granted by examination, and is bordered
with royal purple for the degree of Doctor of
Laws; vibrant blue for the degree of Doctor of
Literature; pink for the degree of Doctor of Music;
red for the degree of Doctor of Science; orange
for the degree of Doctor of Engineering; hot pink
for the degree of Doctor of Architecture; and dark
cardinal for the degree of Doctor of Fine Arts.
The academic dress of Carleton University results
from a compromise between that found in the
ancient foundations of Britain and Canada and
the American Intercollegiate Code. All three
hoods — bachelor’s, master’s, and doctor’s — are
of the simple or Oxford shape. The bachelor’s
hood is made of black stuff. The master’s and
doctor’s are made of black silk. All are lined with
silver silk, with two chevrons, one of red and one
of black. From bachelor’s to doctor’s, the hoods
are progressively longer and opened to show
more of the lining.
The velvet border of the hoods denotes the
degrees granted according to the following
colour combinations. In some cases a
distinguishing cord is sewn slightly in from the
lower border: accounting is lemon; applied
science is orange with a black cord; architectural
studies is hot pink with a black cord; arts is
white; business administration is camel brown
with a black cord; cognitive science is sky blue
with a gold cord; commerce is camel brown;
computer science is royal blue; engineering is
orange; global and international studies is lilac;
health sciences is firebird red; humanities is white
with a red cord; industrial design is toreador
red; information technology is maize including
a green chevron to denote the joint degree and
applied diploma from Carleton University and
Algonquin College respectively; infrastructure
protection and information security is sky blue
with a red cord; international business is camel
brown with a red cord; journalism is white with a
black cord; mathematics is hunter green; music
is pink; philanthropy and non-profit leadership
is toreador red with a black cord; political
management is sky blue with a black cord; public
affairs and policy management is teal with a gold
cord; science is yellow; social work is crimson; and
doctor of philosophy is royal purple.
ALUMNI HALL
The Alumni Hall and Sports Centre opened in
2005, and serves more than 750,000 visitors
every year. The new centre has tripled the usage
for athletic and other activities and has doubled
the size of the cardio facilities at the University.
The Alumni Hall and Sports Centre, which also
houses the Ravens’ Nest, the home of men’s and
women’s varsity basketball teams, welcomes
graduands and their families twice a year during
Spring and Fall Convocation ceremonies. The
Carleton University Alumni Association donated
$2.5 million towards the construction of this
exceptional facility.
The master’s and bachelor’s gowns, to be worn
with the above hoods, are of full length, made
of black stuff, with a gathered yoke behind, and
long open-fronted sleeves. The doctoral gown
is of full-style, made of fine royal blue cloth with
facings of light blue silk, with a full gathered yoke
behind, and closed sleeves with an opening at the
elbows.

HONOR ARY DEGREE RECIPIENT
Thomas R. Louttit
Thomas R. Louttit will be awarded the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris
causa, at the 2 p.m. ceremony on Saturday, November 12, “in recognition of
his wise leadership and gracious service to the community as an Elder and
the inspiration he offers those he mentors and those privileged to witness
his actions which constitute an honourable model of personal reconciliation
and education.”
From 1953 to 1963, Mr. Louttit attended residential schools in Ontario and
Quebec. In 1963, he was placed in the care of the Children’s Aid Society. As
an adult, he moved to Toronto where he became a flat roofer, a career that
would last 32 years.
In 1994, he graduated from the Ontario Native Counsellors Program. He is
a traditional Sweat Lodge Keeper and the Keeper of the Traditional Pipe.
Mr. Louttit is a respected Elder in the Ottawa community. The community
relies on him for traditional teachings, counselling, spiritual guidance,
traditional ceremonies, and land-based education and culture programs.
Mr. Louttit regularly speaks to schools and community groups about his
experiences within the residential school system and his personal healing
journey.
In 2014, the Aboriginal Veterans of Canada presented him with the Queen's
Jubilee Metal. He is the father of Erica and Thomas Wilson (deceased), a
grandfather of 17 and great-grandfather of two girls. He currently lives in
Ottawa with his wife Pennie.

* Our honorary degree recipient, Thomas R. Louttit, will be presented with a Star Blanket to honour his
accomplishments and to say kitchi-mìgwech (a big thank you) for supporting the Carleton community
and beyond. The blanket is placed on an individual’s shoulders, and is symbolic of wrapping the person
physically and spiritually in respect and admiration.
Star Blankets are used at a time of life-changing events such as births, deaths, graduations and marriages.
The star on the blanket represents the Morning Star, a symbol of a new beginning and shining leadership.
For many Indigenous peoples in Canada, stars are used as teachings and blessings; they symbolize light
(knowledge) and darkness (ignorance).
For Indigenous students attending Carleton and all Indigenous students pursuing their education, the
Morning Star shines light for Indigenous peoples, communities and nations, and signifies that hope for
their future is bright.
The gifting of the Star Blanket will be followed by an Honour Song for Thomas R. Louttit. An Honour
Song is sung to honour a particular person or persons who have done something noteworthy. While all
Honour Songs have a similar purpose, each song is unique to honour the person or persons.
