LUBBOCK, TEXAS ACADEMIC DRESS AND PROCESSION

1'he wearing of academic dress at commencement dates from the early history of the oldest universities somewhere in the twelfth or thirteenth century. Since educated people were almost always of the clergy, the blacl gown is somewhat of an adaptation of the cope, a mantle of silk, or other cloth, wom by church dignitaries in processions and on other occasions. The long gown and cowl (similar to the academic hood of today) were wom by priests and monks for warmth in the cold medieval buildings. In the early centuries, a great diversity of color and style of cap, gown, and hood appeared in different universities of Europe. The European custom of wearing academic dress was later introduced at American col­ leges. Not until after 189 S was a uniform academic code of dress adopted by most colleges and universities in the . Today, the black robe, hood and cap are worn at most institutions of higher learning. The gown is cut differently for the bachelor's, master's, and doctor's degrees. Usually the bachelor's robe has long pointed sleeves; the nwter's has closed sleeves, square at the end with a slit at the elbow; the doctor's is faced with velvet and has round open sleeves with three bars of velvet. The color of velvet represents the field of study. The doctor's hood has side panels and is slightly longer than the ooe worn for the master's degree. The color used in the velvet border of the hood indicates the degree. The velvet border is widest on the doctor's hood. The colors in the lining of the hood indicates the college or univer­ sity which conferred the degree. For example, those persons who have received advanced degree from this College wear hoods lined with red.

The Oxford cap, the so-called mortar board, is black and has a loog tassel fastened to the middle of the top which is usually worn pendant over the left front of the cap. The; tassel on the cap of the doctor's can­ didate, except for professional degrees, is either gold or black. Differmt colored tassels are often worn on the bachelor's and master's cap to indi­ cate the type of degree. The undergraduate-degree candidates will wear the tassel on the right side of the cap at Commencement. After the degrees have been conferred, all candidates receiving baccalaureate degrees will turn the tassel to the left side of the cap, thus showing that they are now graduates.
