To celebrate Emory's 175th anniversary, Emory Report brings you a look at little-known facts about the university. 

Each year at Commencement, the University mace is carried in the procession by the past president of the Student Government Association. Emory's mace was given to the school in 1965. It's made of gold and silver with a carving of Dooley, the "spirit" of Emory, at the tip.
