He played a crucial role in the highly successful campaign among Duke Power employees which raised $1.3 million for academics at Clemson The Duke Power/Clemson University Campaign was in celebration of the University's Cen- tennial On Nov 29 one of the distinguished professorships to be funded from the campaign was named the Warren H Owen Distinguished Professorship of Engi- neering in his honor - an action which underscores the high esteem in which he

is held both by colleagues and employees at Duke

Mr Owen earned his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, ting in 1947 with high honors He joined Duke Power Company as an engineer in the steam production department the following year and served in various posi- tions before being assigned to the general office in 1954 He was transferred to the design engineering department in 1962 and was made principal mechanical engineer in 1966 He was elected vice president of design engineering in 1971, senior president of engineering and construction in 1978 and executive vice president of engineering and construction in 1982 He accepted additional respon- sibilities as executive vice president of the power group during a reorganization

Under his leadership these fossil and nuclear generation plants were signed and constructed to achieve one of the industry's highest levels of opera- ting performance and efficiency Duke Power has had the number one fossil- gathering system in the country for the past 14 years and finishes high in total generating efficiency, both nuclear and fossil, each year

de-His many honors and awards include the Atomic Industrial Forum's Clyde A Lilly, Jr Award which he received for managing recovery efforts at Three Mile Island in 1979 In 1987 he received the James N Landis Medal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers

of the University's most active and dedicated alumni - Columbia businessman and distinguished war veteran Dr R Roy Pearce He

is a member of the Class of 1941 that marched out of college and off to a world war in which about one-fourth of the 409 graduates gave their lives in defense of their country

He long has been an enthusiastic supporter of programs to achieve greater overall excellence at his alma mater On December

13, President Lennon announced that Dr Pearce and his wife, the former Margery Ellison "Marnie" Walker of Columbia, are estab- lishing the R Roy and Margery W Pearce Center for Professional Communication - a Class of 1941 initiative - with a $1.5 million commitment to the University Their generous gift is the largest cash gift in the University's history

Dr Pearce, who is president of the Class of 1941 and a past president of the Clemson Alumni Association, also heads that class's drive to raise a minimum of $5 million for Clemson in mem- ory of classmates who died in World War II Dr and Mrs Pearce's gift will help complete that goal by the class's Golden Anniversary Reunion in 1991

Dr Pearce was one of the quarterbacks on the 1939 Clemson football squad that played in the Cotton Bowl He also played on Coach Frank Howard's first team as head coach that won the Southern Conference championship in 1940

The University Regalia

The University mace is the symbolic representation of the whole of Clemson University and must be present at any convocation where the University, through its delegated members, is acting officially At any official convocation such as commencement, the University Marshal, carrying the mace, precedes the Presi- dent into the assembly The mace rests before the President's chair or speaker's stand throughout the ceremony, and its removal from the assembly at the close

of a convocation is symbolic of the official withdrawal of the University and, thus, the close of the proceedings

The decorative design of Clemson's mace is derived from the ceremonial maces carried by heads of state and church in the Middle Ages Its basic club- like shape, however, is much more ancient, probably going back to man's pre- history It is made of walnut wood and silver, with the seal of the University in gold and the University colors represented by insets of carnelian (orange) and amethyst (purple) Amethyst is also the state stone of South Carolina

The Presidential chain and seal is symbolic of the authority vested in the office of president by the governing body of the University Only the University President may wear it, and while wearing it he speaks for the whole body of the institution Clemson's chain and seal are made of silver and gold, and carnelian and amethyst

The batons of the college marshals also descend from medieval "staffs of office" which were carried by the senior members of departments of state or church They display the seal of the University and the symbolic color of the discipline to which the college belongs Clemson's batons are made of walnut wood and silver with the various disciplines inset with enamel

The University regalia were designed and executed by Mr Robert Ebendorf

Mr Ebendorf is twice winner of the Tiffany Award and one of the most acclaimed goldsmiths of our era The enamel plaques for the batons were executed by the late Professor Marshall C Bell, and the lapidary work was executed by the late

Mr C C Wilson of Clemson University

The Academic Procession

The Academic procession is composed of the faculty, officers, Trustees, and honored guests of the University Faculty enter by college and each college is preceded by its mar- shal, a senior faculty member, with the college baton, described under University Regalia Following the marshal is the college banner bearer Each banner is a combination of colors that declare the disciplines taught in that college These colors, which were estab- lished by the American Council on Education, are as follows:

Agriculture Maize Agriculture

Architecture Brown Fine Arts

Lilac Architecture Commerce & Industry Copper Economics

Drab Business Education Light Blue Education

Engineering Orange Engineering

Forest & Recreation Russet Forestry

Resources Sage Green Recreation Education Liberal Arts Dark Blue Philosophy

White Letters & Humanities Cream Social Science Library Lemon Library

Nursing Apricot Nursing

Sciences Golden Yellow Sciences

Staff Purple & Orange Academic Support

Collegiate faculty follow their banner in order of academic rank wearing academic tumes of medieval origin Those who have received their degrees from institutions outside the United States wear costumes specified by the awarding institutions

cos-The academic costumes of faculty whose degrees are from United States' institutions are specified by a uniform code maintained by the American Council on Education Caps are black and are usually mortar boards with tassels Doctors of Philosophy wear gold tassels usually of metallic thread ; other degrees wear black or discipline colors

The bachelors' gown is simple and black with long, pointed sleeves Masters' gowns, also black, are longer than bachelors Older gowns have sleeves that terminate at the elbow while those since 1960 have sleeves extended to the wrist Doctors' gowns are full, with bell-like sleeves The front is marked by velvet panels and the sleeves are marked by three velvet bars While most gowns are black with black velvet, one variation is to replace black velvet with velvet in the discipline color A second variation is a colored gown usually of the univer- sity's colors

All hoods specify the level of degree, the discipline studied and the awarding institution First, degree level is signified by the size of the hood with bachelors' smallest, masters' lar- ger, and doctors' quite large and of a different shape Clemson does not award hoods to bachelors The width of the velvet trim also conveys the degree Secondly, the discipline is

- indicated by the color of the trim edging the hood to form the throat over the gown Finally, the color of the hood's lining specifies the awarding institution The colors are displayed in combinations that are drawn from heraldry Notice that the Clemson University hood is lined with purple through which is an orange chevron (a " V" ) Although many combinations are duplicated by dozens of institutions, Clemson is presently the only institution with that reg- istered combination

The officers, trustees, and honored guests wear academic, ecclesiastical, or military galia as set forth by their professions They are preceded by the University marshal Clad in

re-a gown of office in gold re-and purple, the mre-arshre-al were-ars no hood re-and bere-ars the University mace At the ceremony's close, the faculty do not exit as a part of the recessional but are dismissed, along with students and guests, when the marshal leaves the coliseum

Coat of Arms

Designed by Clemson University graphic artist, Connie Floyd, the coat of arms represents the historic three-fold mission of this institution: teaching, research and service

Pictured on the cover, the coat of arms is divided into three parts The bottom contains a series of open books representing the concept of teaching as the ba- sis of the land-grant university The white of the books and the purple of the background designate the teach- ing mission of the University as it is achieved through undergraduate and graduate instruction

The upper portion of the shield contains two sets

of calipers and wheat sheaves illustrating the ment system for research, as well as Clemson's tradi- tion in agriculture and Extension The three symbols - the books, calipers and wheat sheaves - also repre- sent the humanities, technology and science

measure-The entire shield is joined by a small orange ter shield bearing a white tiger mask symbolizing the abiding spirit of Clemson

cen-The crest is a gold palmetto tree, which emphasizes Thomas Green Clemson's desire that Clemson become ''the people's university" for South Carolinians It rises from a band of purple, orange, white and gold The outer pair of colors, purple and gold, are the official colors of the University; the inner pair, orange and white, are Clemson's student colors
