Tradition holds that the cap and gown were first used in ancient Greece when only youths of wealthy parents or ones with patrons attended school. The wise teachers of the time believed that fine clothing and jewels should not be worn by the scholar but rather, that he should wear the principle garments of the work­ man. In the United States, the gown commonly worn for both the associate’s and bachelor’s degree has pointed sleeves (with a slit for the arm). It is designed to be worn closed. The gown for the master’s degree has an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist. The gown for the doctor’s degree has bell-shaped open sleeves. All gowns are black and without trimming with the exception of the doctor’s which mormally is trimmed with velvet, has three bars or chevrons on the sleeves and may be in a distinctive color(s) governed by the school granting that degree. Master’s and doctor’s gowns may be worn again. Upon graduation, each student of old carried a mortarboard showing him to be a mason of the future destined to build empires or cities or fountains of wis­ dom on the firm foundation of knowledge. To this day, graduates wear the mortarboard cap and gown, symbolizing that they are builders of the future of mankind. The history of the hood with which degree recipients are invested dates back to 13th century England. Whether their origin is ecclesiastical or secular has never been settled. Hoods are two and one-half feet long for the associate’s, three feet for the bachelor’s, three and one-half for the master’s and four feet for the doctor’s degree. The hood is lined with the colors of the institution red and white in the case of Sacred Heart University—and is trimmed with the color of the academic field: white, arts, letters and humanities; golden yellow, science —in the case of Sacred Heart undergraduate degrees. The hoods of those with graduate degrees as well as the tassels on the mortar­ boards of the undergraduates, are often in the color associated with the aca­ demic field of specialization, as follows: Arts, Letters and Humanities White Business Drab Education Light Blue Fine Arts Brown Law Purple Media Studies Crimson Philosophy Dark Blue Science Golden Yellow Sociology/Social Work/Criminal Justice Citron Theology/Rellgious Studies Scarlet /
