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 bachelors, masters, or doctor's degree. The bachelors gown is a simple, unornamented robe with long pointed sleeves. The masters 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: AMS letters, NUMANItIOS: 2... cs oc ay SA At Ale a Co erase Eeieira a eitets WL aie AN ptnlatmasel diets White Commerce, accountancy, busiNeSS/..0.005 64 fai i ah ee eae Vs ie Min el atelier Drab EGOROMICS re ek 5 ae ee OE IR eet ipa eu Alo MIM hee Copper EQUCBTIOH ei RU Bs ari ce eter Wael clue ests re ROU EIMEAY Cale Hn wom inert OG Resets Lignt blue FEARS ices ccs oko o co athe iace enw ee eae Sule EN JepOnee Gan natal aiar Male 4 Uhm be eo eee Ut bath Re eestCY Brown LAW Be eck ee PAR lela Ce PHAETON Wu We lib ieta wis ce Wrerie arcu sitll Ate Aare rene cde Purple GIBParY "SCION CE. eco atid UE rte eile eM A a eR re rar Sate lee eater cet Lemon LY JC 1 oleate Re cinee in RpRrc RON nea ree tare ere nas apn Maer selel eumstnt ct cyte ee Carcara eran ta I TURE ie Pink INUPSINQ) ior ek eas 5 vc EU GU Sa aca Sila lulu tor og ened rive hoo Wome ages 9 Apricot Oratory (Speeehye yoo ea Ceti tu aise a at ania cia Lean ate SL eruA ei alaenace Silver gray PRIOSOPH ys soos 2S os Se Sn se ore Veet a UnemiEd cinerea wir eaalEs VAM ER ACU Un arene Dark Blue Physical Education. .3.2 55 yc cee So ee bs a ee Oe ee Cet eo uleune eee eee Sage green PuBlic Healthy soon aie eS Rare ign ih eee lee Sees Utara it eee eee Salmon pink SCONCE: 2 oF Se Oh ca cree RUMP TONE a WH tale wel eneld Sheth an anaes Golden yellow SOGIAE WOtkc so iv se re SA Ae Cer ae See NAGE Cosa ee Camu Nana Citron THOOIOGY oii eee OSS cee ee Cees ea Cis ea nMned vee se Wd lente da ae to Re eES mare itey Scarlet Source: The Enclyclopedia of Education
