The attire worn by the graduates, faculty, and officers of the university for Commencement exercises has historic UNIVERSITY OFFICIALS roots in the distant medieval past. Dressed in cap and gown, graduates and professors form part of a long tradition, P. Barry Butler, Ph.D. which dates back to Paris, Bologna, Oxford and Cambridge. President Marc L. Archambault Senior Vice President for Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement The precise origins of the several parts of the academic garb are not easy to discover. However, since medieval Rodney Cruise Senior Vice President for Administration and Chief Operating Officer students enjoyed the status of clerics during their university years, one may assume that their attire found its Randy Howard, Ph.D. Senior Vice President for Finance and Chief Financial Officer inspiration in the clerical dress of medieval times. The gown seems to be an adaptation of the robe of the friar or Lon D. Moeller, J.D. Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost priest; the hood resembles the monk’s or friar’s cowl; and the mortarboard cap may have evolved from the skullcaps Anette M. Karlsson, Ph.D. Chancellor, Prescott Campus that were needed to protect against the drafts of medieval classrooms. John Watret, Ph.D. Chancellor, Worldwide Campus Jason M. Ruckert., Ph.D Vice President of Enrollment Management Academic attire began to appear on campuses in the United States in the late 1890s. Since that time, its use has become universal for University functions, and its pattern is highly uniform. Charlie Sevastos, J.D. Vice President and General Counsel
