The cap and gown and colorful hood so prominent in commencement ceremonies resemble to some extent articles of dress worn by church and university dignitaries in the

iddle Ages. The cap and gown indicate that the wearer is a member of a university or ollege. The hood shows the degree the wearer holds.

The gown for the bachelor's degree has pointed sleeves and is designed to be worn open or closed. The doctor's gown has bell-shaped sleeves and may be worn open or closed. Down the front the doctor's gown has a facing of velvet and three bars of the same material on each sleeve. The facing and bars may be either black or the color distinctive of the subject to which the degree pertains. The cap is worn for all degrees; the doctor may wear a golden tassel.

Hoods are normally black with a colorful lining rolled outward. Bachelor's hoods are three feet long, master's three and one half feet, and doctor's four feet.

Many of the 350 professors at the school are internationally recognized in their respective fields. In order to keep abreast in their areas of expertise. faculty members conduct research beneficial to many governmental agencies. Over 21 million dollars of research is conducted or administered annually at the school.

The Superintendent. RADM Thomas A. Mercer, with the assistance of Provost Harrison Shull, guides the school in its endeavors. There is also a civilian Dean of Faculty. Dean of Instruction.
