HARRISON SALISBURY
Harrison Salisbury was associated with The New
York Times from 1949 through 1975, serving as a
correspondent and editor and originator of the
“op-ed” page. Mr. Salisbury is an expert on the
affairs of Communist countries, particularly the
Soviet Union and China, and Southeast Asia.
He has traveled extensively in China, most
recently in 1984 when, after 12 years of trying, he
was allowed to retrace the Long March of 1934-35.
The Long March has come to be the symbol of
China’s Communist revolution. In 1934 more than
80,000 Red Army soldiers started out on a
westward march to escape Chiang Kai-shek’s
government forces. One year and 6,000 miles later,
Mao Tse-tung and about 4,000 survivors found
sanctuary in northern Shaanxi and eventually
overthrew the existing government. Salisbury’s tenweek trek into the past was the first time anyone
undertook such a re-creation of a specific event,
and resulted in his most recent book, The Long
March: The Untold Story, published in 1985.
Salisbury has won numerous awards for
journalism, including the Pulitzer Prize for foreign
correspondence. He is a member of the American
Academy of Arts and Letters, a group whose
number is limited to 50 drawn from among the
250-member National Institute of Arts and Letters.
In recent years, Salisbury has published Without
Fear or Favor: An Uncompromising Look at the
New York Times; The Unknown War, an account
of the German-Russian battles on the Eastern front
during 1941-45; Black Night, White Snow: Russia’s
Revolution 1905-17, an account of the turbulent
years that produced the Soviet state; a book on
China, One Hundred Years of Revolution; and his
memoirs, A Journey for Our Times.
HIGH DISTINCTION
High Distinction is accorded each graduating senior
whose grade point average is 3.75 or higher.
Distinction is bestowed upon seniors who graduate
with an overall average between 3.50 and 3.75.
These designations in the Commencement program
have been based on seven semesters of academic
accomplishment, since final grades have not yet
been tabulated. Students achieving the mark of
Distinction or High Distinction during their final
semester’s work will have this honor indicated on
their diplomas and final transcripts.
DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR AWARD
In every university there are those rare faculty
members who distinguish themselves and the
university through their unique and scholarly
contributions of national and international
dimension. Beginning this year, the University of
Nevada, Las Vegas will present a Distinguished
Professor Award to an exceptional faculty member
as a means of encouraging truly outstanding
performance, enhancing the University’s national
reputation, and rewarding the service of those who
are making this University a greater institution by
enriching the knowledge and the lives of its
students.
The 1987 award will be presented by President
Maxson at Commencement to Dr. Sheilagh Brooks,
a distinguished professor of anthropology who is
marking her twentieth year at the University.

PHI KAPPA PHI MEDALLIONS
Graduating seniors who have been initiated into
UNLV’s chapter of Phi Kappa Phi National Honor
Society are presented with bronze medallions hung
on a scarlet cord to wear at the Commencement
exercises. Each year Chapter 100 at UNLV invites
to membership the top 10 percent of the senior
class and the top 5 percent of the junior class in all
academic disciplines.
PRESIDENTIAL MEDALLION
The Presidential Medallion is the official insignia of
the President’s Office and is worn at Commence
ment and other ceremonial occasions. It was a gift
to the university from the Student Senate and Ac
tivities Board of the Consolidated Students of the
University of Nevada (CSUN).
Cast of sterling silver, the medallion embodies the
official seal of the State of Nevada. Links of the
chain carry the names of current and former
presidents of the university with their terms of of
fice, and symbolize the continuity of responsibility
in the office.
CENTENNIAL MEDALLION
The Nevada Centennial Medallion is presented
annually to the graduating senior earning the
highest four-year scholastic average at UNLV. Due
to the early date of Commencement this year, it is
impossible to determine by the time of the
ceremony the name of the student who has
achieved this award for 1987.
However, as soon as all grades have been
checked and verified, the 1987 recipient will be
identified and. presented the medallion at a special
ceremony.
One-hundred-and-one medallions were given to
the university by the Rotary Club of Las Vegas at
the time of the state’s centennial celebration in
1964. The last medallion will be awarded in 2064,
the year of Nevada’s two hundredth birthday.
Previous recipients are listed below in descending
order from 1986 to 1964.

UNIVERSITY MACE
The University Mace, which has its traditions deeply
rooted in history, is carried on ceremonial occa
sions at the head of the academic procession by the
Grand Marshal, whose symbolic duty is the protec
tion of the university, its persons and its processes.
Originally a weapon, the earliest mace was made
of iron and was capable of breaking armor.
Bishops, forbidden by canon law to bear swords,
sometimes took the mace with them into battle.
The mace consisted of a long club with a ball of
iron, steel or brass at one end, and was used in
warfare as late as the 16th century.
The use of the mace as an instrument of
ceremony, however, began about the year 1250 in
England and France, and is still used widely today
in university’ commencement programs as well as in
governmental ceremonies.
The UNLV Mace has been cast from polished
metal and features a black hardwood staff. Facets
of the cubical top embody the university’s seal; a
symbolic depiction of the Statue of Liberty; a
likeness of Renaissance scholar Leonardo da Vinci,
representing the integration of knowledge from
many fields; and a shelf of books flanked by artists’
brushes.
The mace bearer today is Mrs. Alice Mason,
associate professor of physical education, who
recently marked her thirtieth year with the
University of Nevada System.
ACADEMIC DRESS
The history of academic dress reaches far back into
the early days of the oldest universities. It appears
that academic clothing was first introduced and
worn at Cambridge and Oxford Universities in the
thirteenth centuries.
The European custom was carried to America
with the establishment of our own colleges and
universities. In 1895 an academic code of dress was
adopted, and the standards were accepted by most
of the colleges and universities in the United States,
Today, the black robe, hood, and cap are generally
worn.
Three different types of black gowns may be
distinguished in the academic procession. The
bachelors’ gowns have long pointed sleeves; the
masters’ gowns have oblong sleeves with an arc cut
away in the front The doctors’ gowns are faced
with velvet and have bell-shaped sleeves with three
bars of velvet
The Oxford cap, the so-called mortarboard, is
black and has a long tassel fastened to the middle
of the top that is worn pendant over the left front
of the cap. The hood, draped from the shoulder,
denotes by its length and colors the degree and the
institution which conferred the degree.
