P 19 p THE ACADEMIC REGALIA

he history of reaches back to 12th and 13th century TBritain and Europe, where the dress of the scholar, whether student or teacher, was that of a cleric. In 15th century Britain, Oxford and Cambridge universities first began prescribing academic dress and made it a matter of university control—even to the extent of minor details and punishments for tailors who deviated from the standards. Today, the , cap, and hood signify the privileges and responsibilities of the scholar. While European universities show great diversity in academic dress, American colleges and universities have followed a single standard since 1895. The gown is a symbol of the democracy of scholarship, as it covers dress indicating rank or social standing. Associate, bachelor’s and master’s degree have no trimming; the doctoral robe is faced with velvet and has velvet bars on the sleeves. The cap, symbolizing freedom of scholarship, descends from the pileus, the favored headgear of medieval clerics. Two varieties of the pileus are common at American colleges and universities—the soft, -like Tudor bonnet and the more common Oxford cap, or “mortarboard.” The tassel on the cap may be black or the color of the wearer’s learning discipline or institution. Graduates wear the tassel on the front left side after degrees are conferred. Numerous institutions, including TCC, have adopted the practice of having graduates shift their tassels from right to left in unison upon conferring of the degrees. The academic hood, which descends from cowls worn by monks to ward off cold drafts in their monasteries, is worn by those holding bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate degrees. Color may denote the wearer’s academic discipline or college or university. TCC regalia features a blue robe, blue mortarboard with silver and blue tassel, and silver stole with the college seal. Graduates may also wear one or more of the following:

P 20 p • Cords whose colors represent a graduate’s degree (the first color is the primary)

- Certificate/Diploma: red and green - Associate of Applied Science: green and blue - Associate of Applied Arts: blue and green - Associate of Arts: red and blue - Associate of Fine Arts: brown and blue - Associate of Science: blue and red • Gold cords, denoting graduation with honors • Red, white and royal blue braided cords, honoring active-duty military, veterans, spouses and other military-related students • Gold stoles and medals, worn by members of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society • Medals with burgundy and yellow ribbon, worn by members of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars • White stoles, worn by elected and appointed officers and senators of the Student Government Association • Kente cloth stoles of black, yellow, green, and red, worn by participants in the Open Door Project • Governor’s Medallions, worn by dual-enrollment students who have completed a degree or certificate. • Turquoise and royal blue braided cords, worn by TCC Student Ambassadors • Teal and gold cords worn by Accelerated Degree graduates • Blue and silver “school spirit” cords

P 21 p THE MACE AND THE MEDALLION

he academic mace is a traditional ceremonial staff that serves as a Tsymbol of authority. Tidewater Community College’s mace is a gift from Old Dominion University, which, in 1999, commissioned its creation by James C. Chalkley, a professional artist serving as an adjunct art faculty member at TCC’s Visual Arts Center. This enduring gift, crafted of silver and crystal, is a token of the shared goals and strong working relationship between the two institutions. The intersecting facets forming the head of the mace represent the college’s four-campus, unified structure. The medallion is a gift from the chancellor of the Virginia Community College System to each college president upon his or her installation. Worn at official events by the college president, the medallion symbolizes the office of the president and the unique powers vested by the chancellor in each presidential appointment.
