ACADEMIC REGALIA 25

ONE OF THE MOST COLORFUL FEATURES of an academic procession is the appearance of the graduates and faculty in full academic attire. These caps, gowns, and hoods have long histories, and their patterns and colors have special significance. The origins of academic dress date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, when universities were taking form. The ordinary dress of the scholar—student or teacher— was the dress of a cleric. In modern universities, the distinctive mark of a degree is the hood, which in its earliest form was simply an article of clothing; since churches and lecture halls of European universities were cold and drafty, scholars wore their hoods as head coverings. American institutions, unlike those of England and Europe, have adopted a standard code of academic costume. The design of the gown, the color of the tassel on the cap, and the pattern, length, and colors of the hood all have special significance. Both the associate and bachelor’s gowns are closed at the throat and have long, pointed sleeves. The master’s gown has oblong sleeves, open at the wrist, tapering at the back in a square cut, which ends in an arc cutaway. The doctor’s gown is faced with velvet and has bell-shaped sleeves. Each sleeve carries three bars of velvet or chevrons. The most colorful part of the costumes is the hood. The color of the velvet trim indicates the department that granted the degree, and the width of the trim corresponds to the level of degree (two, three, and four inches, respectively). The lining, or area inside the velvet, denotes the college or university awarding the degree. Michigan Law juris doctor candidates have purple velvet trim and maize and blue lining. During the juris doctor degree recognition, recipients receive their hoods from faculty marshals as they enter the stage. After being draped with the hood, they walk across the stage for individual recognition by the dean of the Law School. 26 A BRIEF HISTORY

“The character of the legal profession depends on the character of the law schools. The character of the law schools forecasts the future of America.” —WILLIAM W. COOK

University of Michigan Law School Commitment to Integrity

Because the strength of the legal profession depends on the character of its members, during my career as a law student and as a professional after law school, I commit to comport myself honorably and with integrity. Specifically, I promise to maintain high standards of:

Academic conduct in all academic relationships with the Law School and the University; professional conduct while functioning in a lawyer-like capacity during my Law School and professional careers; and personal conduct in all matters that touch or affect the Law School, the University, and their community members and guests.
