The Star Spa n g led b a n n e r Glor y La Salle

Oh, say, can you see, Above Explorers valiant, By the dawn’s early light Here under thine eyes, What so proudly we hailed Thy blue and gold banners At the twilight’s last gleaming? Unfurl ‘neath the skies! Whose broad stripes and bright stars, Thro’ the perilous fight Chorus: O’er the ramparts we watched, La Salle, La Salle, thy glory, Were so gallantly streaming. Thy triumphs we praise! And the rockets’ red glare, Thy name in song forever The bombs bursting in air, Shall we proudly raise! Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there. Thy sons and daughters standing Oh, say, does that star-spangled Await thy command, Banner yet wave Thou fortress of faith O’er the land of the free In our God and our land! And the home of the brave? Chorus: — Francis Scott Key La Salle, La Salle, thy glory, Thy triumphs we praise! Thy name in song forever Shall we proudly raise!

26 Notes on Academic Dress

The history of academic dress begins in the early days of the oldest universities. A statute of 1321 required all “Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors” of the University of Coimbra to wear gowns. In England during the second half of the 14th century, the statutes of certain colleges forbade “excess in apparel” and prescribed the wearing of a long gown. It is still a question whether academic dress finds its sources chiefly in ecclesiastical or in civilian dress. Gowns may have been considered necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings used by medieval scholars. Hoods may have served to cover the tonsured head until superseded for that purpose by the skullcap. The cap was later displaced by a headdress similar to ones now recognized as “academic.” European institutions continue to show great diversity in their specifications of academic dress. However, when American colleges and universities adopted a system of academic apparel a half-century ago, a code was devised for all to follow.

Gowns—The gown for the bachelor’s degree has pointed sleeves and is worn closed. The gown for the master’s degree has an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist, with the sleeve base hanging down in the traditional manner. The rear part of the sleeve’s oblong shape is square cut and the front part has an arc cut away. It may be worn open or closed. The gown for the doctor’s degree has bell-shaped sleeves and may be worn open or closed. Bachelor’s and master’s gowns have no trimmings, but the doctor’s may be faced on the front with black or colored velvet and with three bars of the same across the sleeves. If color is used, it is the color distinctive of the subject to which the degree pertains, and it matches the edging or binding of the hood.

Hoods—Hoods are lined with the official color or colors of the college or university conferring the degree. The binding or edging of the hood is the color indicative of the subject to which the degree pertains, except that the doctor’s cap may have its tassel of gold thread.

Caps—Mortarboards are generally worn as part of the academic costume. The long tassel fastened to the middle point of the cap’s top is either black or the color appropriate to the subject. It is customary for degree candidates to wear the tassels on the right front side before degrees are conferred and to shift them to the left when the degrees are awarded. This custom is in some respects a substitute for individual hooding.

For all academic purposes, including trimmings of doctors’ gowns, edgings of hoods, and tassels of caps, the colors associated with the different subjects are as follows:

Agriculture - Maize Medicine - Green Arts, Letters, Humanities - White Music - Pink

Commerce, Accountancy, Nursing - Apricot

Business - Drab Oratory (Speech) - Silver Gray Dentistry - Lilac Pharmacy - Olive Green

Economics - Copper Philosophy - Dark Blue Education - Light Blue Physical Education - Sage Green

Engineering - Orange Public Administration - Peacock Blue

Fine Arts - Brown Public Health - Salmon Pink Forestry - Russet Science - Golden Yellow Journalism - Crimson Social Work - Citron

Law - Purple Theology - Scarlet Library Science - Lemon Veterinary Science - Gray
