L~nding color to the pageantry of the Academic Convocation are the academic robes and hoods worn by the betdty. This reg:llia reaches back imo the med ieval ages when it se rved a f't ll1ctional as well as an o rnamental role, separ:1ting the lea rned men from othcr groups and offering warmth and protection. In America in the late nineteenth century, a conference was held by representatives of colleges and universities to bring some order and system to the custom of academic dress. Since then, there have been periodic conferences to revise or reconfirm ex isting practices. Essentially, undergraduates wear the bbck robes with the white collars. Holders of the bachelor's degree wear boods which are lined with the colors of the college conferring the degree and rrimmed with the color representing the subject in which the degree was earned. The doctoral robe is adorned with velvet and is also worn with the hood suitably ornamented. Holders of degrees from foreign universities or religious orders wea r the entire academic coswme as decreed by the conferring institution. T he following li r reflects the colo rs which will be [(lund on the hoods worn in the Academic Procession ::n this Convo ation and the subject each represents.
