  • Commencement Ceremonies
    THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER One Hundred and Eighteenth Annual Commencement Ceremonies SUNDAY, JUNE SECOND NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTY-EIGHT In keeping with the nature of the ceremonies and in order that all may see and hear without distraction, it is requested that those in attendance refrain from smoking and conversation during the ceremonies and from moving onto the floor to take photographs. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated. Academic Attire The distinctive attire of those participating in the academic procession represents a tradition that reaches at least as far back as the fourteenth century when gowns similar to today' s became the required dress at many European universities. Gow1u were then a common form of apparel for both the clergy and the laity but today they survive chiefly in eccle­ siastical or academic ceremonies such as the one we shall witness this afternoon. The symbolism of the American style of regalia is described below. Variations may be observed in the attire of the graduates of for­ eign universities and of the several American institutions which have departed from tradition. The gowns for the three levels of degrees differ primarily in the sleeve. The bachelor's gown has long pointed sleeves and is worn closed. The master's gown is usually worn open and has long square-cut sleeves with slits through which the forearms protrude. The doctor's gown has large bell-shaped sleeves with three velvet crossbars on the upper portion of the arm and velvet trimming down the front of the gown. The mor­ tarboard derives from the Oxford cap and is generally black with a black tassel, although color is sometimes used to indicate the field in which the degree was awarded.
