The academic attire, which makes an inaugural procession colorful, is as old as universi-ties. The attire represents eight centuries of a continuous tradition; it is not a modern revivalof medieval customs. It goes back to the days when students were "clerks" - that is, membersof the minor clergy - and wore monkish gowns and hoods. In those days of unheated studyhalls and garret sleeping quarters, the hoods served a very practical purpose. When the hoodwas pulled over the head, the "tippet." a sort of hollow tail, served as a convenient pocket.Today, the hood is only an adornment.

The mortarboard, which seems to have evolved from the square biretta of Renaissancechurchmen, came into use after the hood had ceased to be worn on the head. The tassel on themortarboard may be either black or the "color of the faculty" - as described below; or for theholder of a doctorate degree, it may be of gold. Many universities replace the mortarboard withtheir own distinctive headgear.

Both the gown and the hood indicate the degree held by the wearer. The gown for the bach-elor's degree has pointed sleeves. Bachelor's hoods have only recently become a part of theattire in the United States. In the master's gown, the wearer's arm projects from the sleeve atthe elbow, or, in the more modern gowns, at the wrist, and the lower part of the sleeve, endingin another tippet, dangles below the arm. The doctor's gown has bell-shaped sleeves.Bachelor's and master's gowns have no trimmings, but the doctor's gown is faced down thefront with velvet and has three velvet cross-bars on each sleeve. This velvet may be eitherblack or the color of the faculty members' discipline.

Graduates of some institutions, on all continents, may wear gowns in the color of the uni-versity that awarded their degree, for instance, orange and green for Florida A&M University.

In the United States, the hood is edged with velvet in the color of the faculty and lined withthe colors of the university conferring the degree. For all academic purposes, trimmings of thedoctor's gowns, edgings of hoods and tassels of caps, adhere to the colors for the different sub-jects as indicated:

School of Allied Health - Olive; School of Architecture - Lilac: College of Arts andSciences - White: College of Education - Light Blue; FAMU College of Engineering -Orange: College of Engineering Sciences, Technology and Agriculture - Gold: School ofBusiness and Industry - Drab; School of Journalism and Graphic Communication - Crimson:School of Nursing - Apricot; Environmental Sciences Institute - Light Gold: Philosophy-Royal Blue: College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Forest Green: School ofPublic Health - Salmon; and the College of Law - Purple.
