ACADEMIC ATTIRE
The academic attire worn during the commencement exercises by the
graduates, faculty members, deans, trustees, the president, and the other
members of the academic procession, had its origin during the Middle
Ages at the medieval universities . The long black gown, the basic garment
of the academic attire, was worn for warmth and to conceal food and
sometimes wine to be consumed during lecture recesses. The square cap,
the shape of which resembles a book, a mason's mortarboard, or the
quadrangle shape of the Oxford University campus, usually has a black
tassel indicating a bachelor's or master's degree, or a gold tassel indicating
a doctoral degree. The hood, which is the most colorful raiment, was used as
a cowl, a cape, an alms sack or to protect the wearer's wig from the elements.
In modern times, the wearing of academic attire was codified by the
American Council on Education. Contemporary guidelines specify that
the standard color for caps and gowns is black, that the material be cotton
poplin, that there be no trimming on the gowns worn by recipients of
baccalaureate or master's degrees, that the doctoral gown may be faced
with black velvet trim with three bars of black velvet across the sleeves, that
the trimming of the doctoral hood be of velvet and signify the academic area
of the degree, and that the hood lining reflect the official color or colors of
the college or university conferring the degree. The hood trimming color
white designates bachelor of arts; yellow: bachelor and master of science;
magenta: bachelor of science in journalism; drab olive: bachelor and master
of business administration; peacock blue: bachelor and master of public
administration; blue: master of education and certificate of advanced
graduate study in education; and purple: juris doctor (law) degree.
Within certain permissible limits, universities may vary the style and
color of the caps and gowns worn by their graduates. These variations
may be noticed in the academic procession.

ACADEMIC ATTIRE
The academic attire worn during the commencement exercises by the
graduates, faculty members, deans, trustees, the president, and the other
members of the academic procession, had its origin during the Middle
Ages at the medieval universities . The long black gown, the basic garment
of the academic attire, was worn for warmth and to conceal food and
sometimes wine to be consumed during lecture recesses. The square cap,
the shape of which resembles a book, a mason's mortarboard, or the
quadrangle shape of the Oxford University campus, usually has a black
tassel indicating a bachelor's or master's degree, or a gold tassel indicating
a doctoral degree. The hood, which is the most colorful raiment, was used as
a cowl, a cape, an alms sack or to protect the wearer's wig from the elements.
In modern times, the wearing of academic attire was codified by the
American Council on Education. Contemporary guidelines specify that
the standard color for caps and gowns is black, that the material be cotton
poplin, that there be no trimming on the gowns worn by recipients of
baccalaureate or master's degrees, that the doctoral gown may be faced
with black velvet trim with three bars of black velvet across the sleeves, that
the trimming of the doctoral hood be of velvet and signify the academic area
of the degree, and that the hood lining reflect the official color or colors of
the college or university conferring the degree. The hood trimming color
white designates bachelor of arts; yellow: bachelor and master of science;
magenta: bachelor of science in journalism; drab olive: bachelor and master
of business administration; peacock blue: bachelor and master of public
administration; blue: master of education and certificate of advanced
graduate study in education; and purple: juris doctor (law) degree.
Within certain permissible limits, universities may vary the style and
color of the caps and gowns worn by their graduates. These variations
may be noticed in the academic procession.
