ACADEMIC REGALIA The academic regalia worn by the faculty and graduating students at commencement are derived from forms of dress common in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries in Britain and Europe. The clothing of the general population changed over time but the earlier garments have been retained as a specialized academic costume. Academic dress in the United States is an outgrowth of British practice but is much more standardized than in British institutions. With some variations, the forms of the academic costume used by American institutions today are based on a code adopted in 1895. The three items in the costumecap, gown, and hoodare black with colored accessories to represent degrees and institutions. The design of the robe and hood and the colors of the facings and panels signify the degree held by the wearer, and the institution which awarded the degree, and the field of study in which the degree was earned. The Cap. The mortarboard cap, worn flat on the head with one corner of the square facing the front, has a tassel which may be either black or of the color assigned to the field of study. Doctors in all fields may wear a tassel of metallic gold. Some institutions have adopted the biretta instead of the mortarboard. The Gown. The cut of the gown indicates whether the wearer holds a bachelor's, masters, or doctors degree. The bachelors gown is a simple, unornamented robe with long pointed sleeves. The master's gown is more elaborate and many styles have slits in the sleeves. The doctor's robe is ornamented with three bars on each sleeve and panels on the front of the robe. The standard color of the robe is black although some institutions have adopted other col- ors (Yale, blue; Harvard, crimson). The white robes and caps worn by the student marshals at Western Carolina University are an indication of their undergraduate status. The Hood. The institution by which the degree was awarded and the field of study in which the degree was earned are represented by the hood. The lining of the hood identifies the in- stitution which awarded the degree. However, because of the large number of degree-granting institutions, there is much duplication even though a variety of patterns have been introduced. For example, more than thirty institutions are purple and gold. The length of the hood and the width of its border vary in relation to the degree held. The Colors. The color of the tassel on the cap and of the border on the hood represents the field of study in which the degree was earned. These colors include: ArtSE letters, NUTMAMItIES He PUNE clear tii RE lat ons ak Ulvae in atte osu e eselt shale a White Gommerce, accountancy, \DUSINESS: 20201. ce nin aii a ne vai eee ens caida Drab ECONOMICS eee Ota idea RANI UlE bes Ona visti Gail ghat gd is Wists aca i CSwacenele ese si ele steak a) Copper EGUCALON ree eee te reese echetlo ua Whlalabvclterelest vob duensvi voealelshesu eis Corte eee eriaee eAels Lignt blue Fi QVALES he ease ea A EAU AE CHUN NS av no ig Healers vw tl aoe a laipteae Eualteyt ve) Brown (RUG NT RUM USCIS OSS ND UST Gigs oS Sula e eisai Tuskenetoca Wie lana [pie ais ones, Cake aicce Paar h R Ug we a Purple LIDPAry, SCIENCES ciao tie der mat hit alii UUs ccm utes Cais et tds Lemon HALES Ia eee REBT MC RE NUE GSN REM Mika uaaetataa athe win eats wage a cueiet sHeMt HEE ea) Olas Pink INGPSIA Geo nie ES UST DAMES A SMD GR cai fda asl Se boss Boe ae Stace Apricot Oratory (Speech). ci Wee ai ono ates Utica be ore ge cnet en mes Silver gray PHILOSOPHY ce tee Seats MOORE D aN SEM a ted cis cloth case CNMI S ee bai Dark Blue Phiysitalmeducatlonii: yeti tes sania ag ee ronnie ey aici 2 sa ee is tor eS Sage green PUD GH Galt Race aiid e VPRO AMES INOS iow yr ste itete pine w wie re ts aceivenc te oot anrendnegerete sense Salmon pink Tel (olor: | RTL OET ARR ts ee CATO: GERM nae as TONY Taree ION Cnet aetnr edie St 7 Golden yellow SS ial WHOL Rtg eect thas cacteseen a uiesuntec serene GION Ai' ol ciunh tr, 6 4 Nadie teu Rzaee eM MIG ete Citron MAGOlOGVe ecru team e heer chlanin ia iuimcteaa nl viog i tates sea: cael aan eat a ais n Scarlet Source: The Enclyclopedia of Education
