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 institu- tions today are based on a code adopted in 1895. The three items in the costume cap, gown, and hood are black with colored accessories to represent degrees and institutions. 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 doctors 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 colors (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 institution 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: Artes lettere: Humanities poo fos cece ey so Mele oud leee a nihinils glolee Uma ta ul Ele H UMC SU aay White Commerce, accountancy, business ........:seeeseeee eee e renee tenn e nett e teen eee ene e eee ee ese Drab PeGOMUES Te Lee re Ue ee oe 0 aid CSU CRE HIG OG E HG aea ll otra t SEM COA ES ENT did A UES OHO a Copper BGUGatOn ee eee eas) Ro eaten Sites MEV ee RUN WUaiias clas tela talabetais shear as bee isis sat Light Blue Pine ATES Se eee Cite a coos wo aialere due eG PEGA Ata Wer aibi siete Clu atane wa aeeuina tS Lee aE Tag Brown Tee 3 ERT os Slate oes IE DE are alec taneteo that onc te eel aah tT erie AU My Purple Library Science (oe sch Gic ess wave Ce om surah se sNamete tamed cies ease outta gay ay Lemon asic 2 es Sa as bs Se se ve EERE Te BG eA ma OU edetere etn rivintmian Batata Arca nin ita Bla Pink Woitsitig ye neta ok oe eI UE Spain CU eeu tae A cet ia Tn g Apricot Oeatory (Spesch) sua ialci icv ns to toed ener h wen suemuneed Gees sae ante sity Silver Gray Philosophy Sheree se eee ves emi che AMUN Sirol lua mtiuad OME AR Sra Cl anit GUE Dark Blue Physical Education. ).0)) sss eves s inset a Ay ccc ne bel eaeel sieges se yt eM tee Claas Sage Green Public: Healthy bet osu ining cs oa 5 oes 6 orem ene ene iieted OMe EDUG Siaidbm ene ey aur tay Salmon Pink Siierice UCU CEOs aul holes vue ecoeisle vinslOhMel wana ising euiien | oitcna Goma cient) Golden Yellow Social Werks iii Gi avecs coche ll ede Wee oe ater etene wen ucmay cess aceon earch ad Citron Theology ais iva pts nad sea vs un cas ci eesnen es ecu uae tay cate yc ee cei Banta aes Scarlet Source: The Encyclopedia of Education
