The Presidential Chain
of Office
|
The Tulane Presidential
Chain of Office -- representing the president's
authority as head of the university-- features
a medal of the university seal suspended
from a chain. The medal and all links of
the chain are made of brushed sterling
silver. The chain links embody two repeated
motifs: a stylized TU shield drawn from
architectural details on the facades of
Tilton Hall and Robert C. Cudd Hall, and
oak leaves portraying the stately trees
that line the Tulane campus. Alan Hill
of Symmetry Jewelers designed the chain
of office. Hill earned a bachelor of science
from Tulane in 1973. |
