Proposal for Selection of New Higher Doctorate Academic Dress Scott Pilkington Proposal for selection of new higher doctorate academic dress Scott Pilkington October 2019 Executive Summary AUT has recently had approved by CUAP the addition of two higher doctorates (DLitt and DSc) in addition to the suite of current named and other doctorates (PhD, DHSc, and EdD). There is the potential that additional higher doctorates may be created in future (e.g. LLD, DEng). As such, an opportunity is presented to develop new academic dress for these qualifications that sets them apart from the other doctorates being awarded by the university. Following here is an analysis of the historical context and review of other universities, and then the proposal for new doctoral academic dress (regalia) at AUT. Four designs have been proposed, with design D (p37) being recommended by the Graduate Research School for adoption. Costings have been obtained and are provided in appendix 4 (p28). The design recommended blends the styles used for the current doctorates and for the official party to facilitate a design that is sufficiently elevated to recognise the life work of a graduate, without competing with the finery worn by the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor.

Years of founding for all institutions have been provided. Cox specifies that in New Zealand when robe colour is not specified, it is to be of black cloth or stuff. Two polytechnics, a private training institution and one Wananga offer doctoral programmes, but information was not available for all institutions, so they have been excluded from this study.2 The oldest of them all (and predating the University of New Zealand), the University of Otago (1869) offers the largest number of doctorates of the New Zealand universities (14): The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), two honorary doctorates, seven higher doctorates, and four named doctorates. The PhD dress is the Cambridge Master of Arts gown [m2],3 but is made of ruby red4 silk, silk like fabric, or cloth. The hood is the same size and shape as for the Cambridge Master of Arts [f1] and is of ruby red silk or silk like fabric, lined with silk or silk like fabric in colour ruby red. The cap for all doctorates at Otago is the black velvet cap as work by doctors of Scottish Universities [h3]. The dress for the named doctorates is the same as for the PhD, except that the hood is lined with silk or silk like fabric in the relative subject colour. The dress for the Honorary Doctor of University of Otago is not specified.5 The other honorary doctorate, the Doctor of Divinity (DDiv),6 and the higher doctorates are similar to that of the PhD: a Cambridge MA gown but made of cardinal red silk,7 silk like fabric, or cloth; and a Cambridge hood made wholly of coloured silk in the relative subject colour. All of the doctorates match the colours used by other programmes in their subject area: Doctorate8 Other examples Subject colour DBA Business Administration Named BCom, MCom, MBA Tangerine9 DClinDent Clinical Dentistry Named BDS, MDS, MDent Spectrum violet10 DCom Commerce Higher BCom, MCom Tangerine DDSc Dental Science Higher BDS, MDS, MDent Spectrum violet 1 Noel Cox, "Academical Dress in New Zealand," Burgon Society Annual 2 (2001). 2 These were: • Medical Research Institute of New Zealand: Doctor of Medicine (MD) • Te Whare Wananga o Awanuiarangi: Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Doctor of Maori Development & Advancement (MDA), Doctor of Indigenous Development & Advancement (IDA) • Unitec: Doctor of Computing (DComp) • Otago Polytechnic: Doctor of Professional Practice (DPP) 3 Codes refer to Groves classification system, Nicholas Groves, "Towards a Standard Terminology for Describing Academic Dress," Transactions of the Burgon Society 1 (2001). Also see appendix. 4 BCC no. 38, for a discussion on the use of British Colour Corporation numbers see: Elizabeth Scott, "The Bcc Numbering System: Back to the Future?," ibid.5 (2005). 5 Presumably because ordinarily a higher doctorate would be awarded honoris causa instead 6 Which is a much friendlier acronym than that of the Doctor of Sacred Theology (STD/SThD) – no doubt this has raised a few eyebrows if one were to remark: “I just returned from Rome where I received my STD!” 7 BCC no. 186 8 Programmes listed in italics are offered only at this university 9 BCC no. 55 10 BCC no. 214 Page 3 of 38 Doctorate8 Other examples Subject colour DDiv Divinity Honorary BDiv, MDiv11 Violet grey EdD Education Named BEd, MEd Coral12 LLD Law Higher LLB, LLM Powder blue13 LittD Literature Higher BA, MA Rose pink14 MD Medicine Higher MBChB Lilac15 DMus Music Higher MusB, MMus White16 DMA Musical Arts Named MusB, MMus White DSc Science Higher BSc, MSc Lido blue17 The second oldest of the original four universities, the University of Canterbury (1873) offers ten doctorates: the PhD, an honorary doctorate, six higher doctorates, and two named doctorates. The PhD dress is the Cambridge Master of Arts [m2] with Peony Red18 detachable facings for formal dress. The hood is of the same material and colour as the facings of the gown and is lined with Slate Grey.19 The cap is the black bonnet as for the University of St Andrews [h3]. No separate dress is specified for the honorary doctorate, and all of the other doctorates share the same academic dress. This dress is the Cambridge Master of Arts in Signal Red20 without facings, and with a hood of their own design made entirely of silk in Slate Grey. This is quite different from many of the other New Zealand universities. Doctorate DCom Commerce Higher EdD Education Named DEng Engineering Higher LLD Laws Higher LittD Literature Higher DMus Music Higher DMA Musical Arts Named DSc Science Higher The University of Auckland (1883) offers 13 doctorates: the PhD, an honorary doctorate,21 four higher doctorates, and seven named doctorates. The PhD dress is the Cambridge MA gown [m2], with the addition of 100 mm satin facings, made up of 75 mm of scarlet edged with 25 mm of gold. The hood is the Cambridge hood [f1] made wholly of scarlet satin. The cap for all doctorates at Auckland is the Tudor bonnet [h2] in black with a gold cord ending in tassels. The honorary doctorate (D(UoA)) is also the Cambridge Master of Arts, but is made of scarlet satin. The hood is made wholly of satin and is 11 No longer taught 12 BCC no. 93 13 BCC no. 193 14 BCC no. 32 15 BCC no. 176 16 BCC no. 1 17 BCC no. 89 18 BCC no. 37 19 BCC no. 154 20 BCC no. 208 21 Technically any programme can be awarded on an honorary basis, usual practice is that the Doctor of Laws is usually the programme chosen Page 4 of 38 university blue. Since 1978 when records for this began, only three of the 63 awarded were of this type. The bulk were honorary Doctors of Law (LLD) and Doctors of Literature (DLitt/LittD). In comparison, since 1996 the LLD has been awarded based on submission four times, the DLitt once, the DEng twice, and the DSc 15 times. The named

  • Translating Degrees and Academic Titles Abbreviations: Challenges and Perspectives
    Slađana Milinković TRANSLATING DEGREES AND ACADEMIC TITLES ABBREVIATIONS: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES SLAĐANA MILINKOVIĆ Th e Court Interpreters and Translators Association of Serbia E-mail: [email protected] Egyetemi fokozatok és tudományos címek rövidítéseinek fordítása: kihívások és perspektí- vák. Az ember társas lény, ezért természetes szükséglete a kommunikáció. Az emberi kommuni- káció fontosságát már évezredekkel ezelőtt felismerték, és gyökerei sokkal messzebbre nyúlnak vissza, mint amiről az írott történelem beszámol. Az emberi kommunikáció alapja az együttmű- ködés és a közös szándék, ahogy azt az antroposzemiotika is tanítja. Idáig azonban hosszú utat kellett bejárni. „Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”,1 tanítja a Biblia, de az igét meg kell hallgatni, és terjeszteni kell. Minél messzebbre kellett eljutnia, annál fontosabb volt, hogy valamilyen módon lejegyezzék. És az em- ber másik természetes szükséglete, hogy nyomot hagyjon a világban – valamilyen képpel, szám- mal vagy betűvel. Nézzük meg röviden ennek a történetét. Kulcsszavak: latin nyelvű oklevelek, egyetemi fokozatok fordítása, tudományos címek rövidítése, bírósági tolmácsolás, a terminológia alakulása Since man is a social being, one of his innate needs is the desire to communicate. Th e importance of human communication has been recognised for thousands of years, far longer than demonstrated through recorded history. Human communication is rooted in cooperative and shared intentions, as anthroposemiotics teaches us. But it was a long road to get us here. “Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”, the Bible has taught us, but it has to be heard and spread. Th e further it needed to go, the greater was the need to record it in some way. And the second man’s innate need was to make a mark in the world – with a picture of some kind, a certain sign, numeral or letter.

It is an attempt to examine the approaches of Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare, and Ben Jonson to Oriental material in their plays. The thesis is divided into the following six chapters: Chapter 1, 'Orientalism in the Medieval Age fllOO-1500^: A Historical Survey', presents an outline of the beginning and main contours of literary Orientalism up to the Renaissance period. The historical setting helps us, in turn, appreciate Elizabethan Orientalism, especially how it marks a departure from Medieval tradition of literary Orientalism. Chapter 2, 'Orientalism in the Elizabethan Period', focuses Oriental images in Elizabethan travels, diplomatic relations, socio-economic interests, and dramatic works. The main concern, however, is to describe the ^{JESIS presentation of the Orient in the literary texts of this period. Chapter 3, 'The Oriental Landscape', deals with Marlowe's, Shakespeare's and Jonson's fascination with the Oriental landscape with concrete illustrations from their plays. The playwrights speak admiringly of the Orient as a marvellous land, though they had never visited any Oriental country.
