57 The University Mace The practice of carrying a mace in academic processions dates to medieval times in England when a person bearing a mace, a formidable weapon, walked in front of the highest-ranking official as they entered and departed ceremonial occasions, to protect him or her from personal injury .
As adapted by European and American universities, the mace has become a symbol of office to the institution’s president and is carried by a distinguished member of the faculty . At Morehead State, the joint office of faculty grand marshal and mace bearer is held by the current recipient of the Distinguished Teacher Award .
The mace of Morehead State University was fashioned from Eastern Kentucky walnut in 1984 by John S . VanHoose, a retired faculty member from the Department of Industrial Education and Technology .

58 Academic Costumes The wearing of academic costumes is a custom that goes back to the Middle Ages . Since the early European and English universities were founded by the church, the students and teachers were required to wear distinctive gowns at all times . Although the custom was brought to this country in Colonial days, the requirement for students was soon dropped . The custom for professors was confined to special occasions such as graduation exercises and inaugurations of new presidents . With the increase in the number of educational institutions and the development of new subject-matter fields, some confusion arose in time about the type of gown and the specific color to denote various degrees . To introduce desirable uniformity and set up a clearing house for new developments, a commission representing leading American colleges produced The Intercollegiate Code in 1895 . In 1932, a national committee of the American Council on Education revised this code into The Academic Costume Code . It was revised in 1959 . Although not obligatory, most of the educational institutions in the country follow it in awarding their degrees, earned and honorary .
The most significant part of the academic dress is the hood . The olorc of its velvet border indicates the academic field, and it is lined with the color or colors of the institution granting the degree . The hoods of those receiving a Master of Arts or an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters have those same color indications, but each successively higher degree carries with it a longer hood . The doctoral hood also has side panels on the back .
Although most doctoral gowns are black with black velvet bars and panels, in some cases the color of the gown is that of the university conferring the degree . All such gowns have black bars and panels .
59 Academic fields may also be indicated by the color of velvet on the doctoral gowns; three two-inch bars on the sleeves and a five-inch border extending from the back of the neck down the two sides in front . For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, the color is dark blue; for Doctor of Medicine, green; for Doctor of Education, light blue; for Doctor of Science, golden yellow . These colors also appear in the velvet of the hood unless the hood represents an honorary degree . The octorD of Laws has purple velvet . The octorD of Humanities is white, as is the Doctor of Letters . The Doctor of Public Administration has a hood with velvet in pale aqua .
Caps are black . Tassels are usually black for bachelor’s and master’s degrees, gold for doctorates . Gowns for bachelor’s and master’s are plain black, but sleeves of the latter are short with “trailing elbows ”. Doctoral gowns of European universities are usually very colorful . The caps are often of some soft material such as velvet and are ordinarily not of the conventional mortar-board shape . Several examples may be seen in the University faculty:
Arts, Letters, Humanities - white Commerce, Accountancy, Business - drab Education - light blue Engineering - orange Fine Arts - brown Journalism - crimson Law - purple Library Science - lemon Medicine - green Music - pink Nursing - apricot Philosophy - dark blue Physical Education - sage green Science - golden yellow Social Science - cream Theology - scarlet Veterinary Science - gray
