Having watched Maces being carried in various Universities in Melbourne Australia there doesn't seem to be a proper side the mace is carried. It was once explained to me that in order to carry the Mace as it was intended, you carry it on the side where it will have the most impact, so it can be seen. So if a University procession is processing on to a stage and the public in the hall, auditorium etc are on the right hand side of entry the mace should be carried on the right shoulder. Naturally the reverse would apply if it were the other way around, it should be carried like a rifle, in this case the heavy end resting on the shoulder, the smaller/lighter end carried by extending the right/left arm. the resting arm should remain at the side of the carrier, as mentioned each graduation I have witnessed tends to do things "their way" I an suprised that a great many mace carriers do not wear white gloves
