Academic Regalia

Regalia worn for formal academic ceremonies such as commencements are patterned after the gowns and hoods worn regularly in the Middle Ages by scholars for warmth in unheated buildings and as distinguishing dress denoting their place in society. A great variety of designs and colors developed over the years in the costume worn in different universities, but since 1895 in the United States a uniform intercollegiate code of styles and colors has been adhered to by most institutions.

In accordance with this code, most academic gowns are black, although some universities permit other solid colors. Occasionally, the robe color may indicate a professional disdnction, such as deep purple for law or scarlet for ecclesiastical honors. Adaptations of the academic costume for high schools have sometimes used colors other than black for purely decorative purposes. Sometimes a distinguishing device on the robe or cap indicates an individual honor or a special occasion.

The baccalaureate gown is of simple cut with full, somewhat pointed sleeves. The front is closed, and often no hood is worn with this gown. The mortar board head covering originated in ancient Greece, symbolizing the commitment of the scholar to a life of building. It has either a plain black tassel or one of a color indicating the subject area of the degree. The custom of shifting the cap's tassel from right to left at the time of awarding the degree is used in lieu of investing each candidate with the bachelor's hood.

The master's gown is similar to the bachelor's gown, except that the sleeves are fuller, cut square with a half-circle at the bottom and sometimes worn with the arms through a horizontal slit at elbow level.

The doctoral robe is ampler in cut with a full bell-shaped sleeve, velvet panel edging in the front and three velvet stripes on each sleeve. The velvet trim may be black or in the color appropriate to the degree. The mortar board tassel for the doctorate is gold. Some American and many foreign universities use cap forms other than the mortar board, ranging from a soft velvet beret to more elaborate fringed styles, each of which has its own historical tradition.

Hoods wom over the gowns have a velvet edging, usually in a color indicating the specific degree, and a lining which is partially turned out to show the colors of the college or university which granted the degree.
