The usual garb of the time, for both churchmen and laymen, was a long gown necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings of the day. Scholars, generally members of church orders, wore such robes, as well as hoods to protect their shaved heads. Later, skull caps were worn on the head, and the hood became a cape that could be pulled over the head in unpleasant weather. The hood was also sometimes used to collect alms from the more affluent members of the community. As more colleges and universities were founded, distinctive forms of the gown and hood were adopted by their faculties. Variations indicated various ranks within the institutions. Strict rules were published, and sometimes tailors who departed from the authorized design were punished. The academic hat was a later development adapted from the headdress of the ordinary people. Academically it was originally worn as a symbol of the master’s degree and existed in various forms: some were round, some were square, and some had a tuft in the center. The flat, square “mortar board” of today originated in Oxford. Academic costume came to America in 1754 with the founding of King’s College, now Columbia University. Styles became quite varied, as they were in Europe, but in 1895 a group of American college and university representatives met to establish a uniform system of academic apparel for this country. This led to the establishment in 1902 of an “Intercollegiate Code of Academic Costume.” The American Council on Education formed a committee in 1932 to review the 1895 code, and it was again reviewed and revised in 1960. There are today three basic types of gowns and hoods. The associate and bachelor’s gowns have pointed sleeves and are designed to be worn closed. The master’s gown is designed with an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist, and with an arc cut away at the front of the sleeve. It may be worn either open or closed. The doctoral gown is a full design with voluminous sleeves, and it also may be worn open or closed. Unlike the other two, the doctoral gown is faced down the front with velvet and has three velvet bars on the sleeves. These may be black or of a color related to the subject of the degree. The hoods worn by those who hold the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees are lined with the official color of the institution awarding the degree. The binding or edging of the hood is of silk or velvet in the color pertaining to the subject area. Doctoral hoods are longer and somewhat fuller, with the colors of the lining being those of the institution granting the degree. It is considered an honor to earn an academic credential that allows one to wear their appropiate academic attire, thereby signifying attainment of an Academic degree. 53568 [71807] Sullivan Commencement_Spring 2015.indd 36 4/10/2015 1:46:16 PM
