ACADEMIC REGALIA Academic regalia worn by faculty during commencement is based on attire from 12th- and 13th-century universities. Academic dress and accoutrements of this type have been used in the United States since colonial times. To maintain tradition and the conformity of academic symbols, little has changed in the symbolism of pattern and color since the Middle Ages. In 1895 an intercollegiate commission in the United States adopted a standardized code for the use of academic gowns, hoods and caps, which included regulating the cut, style and materials of gowns. In addition, colors, which were to represent the different fields of learning, were prescribed. Over the years, only minor revisions have been made to the code, which is followed by the majority of colleges and universities in America, including Southern Illinois University Carbondale.

GOWNS STOLE OF GRATITUDE The bachelor’s gown is a comparatively simple Southern Illinois University Carbondale has style that falls in straight lines from an elaborate incorporated the custom of the Stole of Gratitude yoke and has pointed sleeves.

5 6 MEDALLION CAPS AND TASSELS The mortarboard is the cap generally worn with academic regalia. A long tassel is fastened to the middle point on the top of the cap. The tassel is usually the color appropriate to the subject. There is no general rule on the position of the tassel on the mortarboard. However, numerous institutions have adopted a practice of requiring candidates for degrees to wear the tassels on the right front side before degrees are conferred, and to shift them to the left side when the degrees are awarded to them.
