  • 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.

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.

H. Dudley Buxton and Strickland Gibson wrote that ‘the history of academical costume is one of great difficulty and one which at present has no authoritative historian’.1 W. N. Hargreaves-Mawdsley is generally acknowledged to have succeeded in filling that role with the publication three decades later of his History of Academical Dress in Europe until the End of the Eighteenth Century.2 Charles A. H. Franklyn welcomed it in a short review, declaring, with an echo of Buxton and Gibson, that Hargreaves-Mawdsley had ‘tackled a most difficult subject in a masterly manner and his book, filling a long-felt need, will remain for all time the standard work on the subject and a monument to his industry’.3 From Franklyn that was praise indeed! While he picked up one or two errors of fact, he did not detect—or at any rate did not comment on—the numerous inaccuracies the book contains in references to the pictorial evidence.

Without doubt, the most important development was the complete revision of the scheme in 1934, of which a very biased account is to be found in Franklyn’s Academical Dress of 1970;3 it does however have useful transcripts of the various Reports of the Coun- cil of Senate.

By its constitution, 85 per cent of the membership has to belong to the medical professions and includes a number of pharmacists, veterinary surgeons and dentists. The remainder come from various professional backgrounds and there are a few honorary Freemen. In 1815, almost two hundred years ago, the Society of Apothecaries began awarding its Licence to practise Medicine (LSA).1 Following the national reorganisation of the examining and licensing of doctors in 2007, the Society has retained that capability.

Chiu his article reports the development of academic dress in China1 from the year 1994 to 2011. China has two self-governing special administrative regions (Hong Kong and TMacau), and claims sovereignty over Taiwan; these three areas are not included in this study because the laws of China do not apply directly in them. As a result, academic dress in these areas has been influenced by different parts of the world. For example, the Uni- versity of Hong Kong was strongly influenced by universities from the United Kingdom. Two important dates marked milestones in the development of the academic degree as well as in academic dress in China. On 12 February 1980, the 13th Plenary Session of the Standing Committee of the 5th National People’s Congress formally adopted the Regula- tions of the People’s Republic of China on Academic Degrees, which became effective in January 1981,2 and hereinafter are referred to as ‘the regulations’.
