A statute of 1 321 required all "Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors" of the University of Coimbra to wear gowns. In England during the second half of the 14th century, the statutes of certain colleges forbade "excess in apparel" and prescribed the wearing of a long gown. It is still a question whether academic dress finds its sources chiefly in ecclesiastical or in civilian dress. Gowns may have been considered necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings used by medieval scholars. Hoods may have served to cover the tonsured head until superseded for that purpose by the skull cap. The cap was later displaced by a headdress similar to ones now recognized as "academic." European institutions continue to show great diversity in their specifications of academic dress.

  • 1 Susquehanna University 2020 Democratic Engagement Action
    Susquehanna University 2020 Democratic Engagement Action Plan Developed by: Miranda Carrasquillo Executive Summary: Susquehanna University is a small, private, liberal arts institution. In the late Fall of 2019, a small team was assembled by our Dean of Students to begin non-partisan proactive planning for the 2020 General Election. This initial team grew to include many more members over time. Our working group now consists of faculty, staff and students alike. With a renewed mission, and sense of urgency and purpose, the team began to develop practices and initiatives in pursuit of increasing Susquehanna’s rates of voter registration and turnout. Our group and the accompanying social media campaign is entitled "Achieve, Lead, VOTE" (hereafter referred to as “ALV”). This slogan, coined by one of our own students—is an extension of our campus values which are achievement, leadership, and service—making ALV a campaign that is both unique and recognizable to Susquehanna University. ALV began meeting regularly and coordinating events as an organized group in the Spring of 2020, just prior to the COVID-19 global pandemic. We continued to meet weekly over zoom throughout the summer months in preparation for the 2020 General Election. Our enduring outcomes have been the following; 1) To educate/inform the campus community about the voting process and the importance of voting and 2) To empower and encourage our students to actively participate in democracy and exercise their right to vote in each election which they are eligible. Thus far, we have become partners with the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge and a member- institution of the Pennsylvania Student Voting Coalition (PASVC).
