Clark University was founded in 1887 as the frst all-graduate institution in America; the undergraduate college was established in 1902. during the early years of the University, graduate degrees were awarded on an individual basis. Formal commencement exercises began at Clark in June 1905, when bachelor’s degrees were awarded for the frst time.

From the cap, gown, and hood, it is possible to distinguish the institution from which the wearer graduated, the feld of learning in which his or her degree was earned, and the level of degree: bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral. the distinguishing feature of the black mortarboard cap, standard at most colleges and universities in the United states, is the color of the tassel—black for the holder of bachelor’s or master’s degrees, gold for doctoral degrees and the governing offcers of educational institutions. the gown is normally black, although the chief offcers of many universities wear colored gowns, and several institutions have authorized optional doctoral gowns that embody the institution’s colors. the level of degree is indicated by the gown’s cut. the bachelor’s gown, which is relatively simple, has long pointed sleeves. the master’s gown is somewhat fuller, and its sleeves, which reach nearly to the wearer’s knees, are squared at the ends. the gown for the doctoral degree is cut rather fully. it has velvet panels down the front and around the neck, and bell-shaped sleeves decorated with three horizontal velvet bars. the hood is the most distinctive feature of academic attire in the United states. originally used as a cowl, as a shoulder cape, and as a container in which to collect alms, the hood is now worn at the back, suspended from the shoulders. the length of the hood and width of the velvet border indicate the level of the degree held. the length of the bachelor’s hood is four feet long, and the border is fve inches wide. the hood is lined with the offcial color or colors of the institution conferring the degree, and the color of the border indicates the feld of learning in which the degree is earned.

Clark’s doctoral gown was designed and frst worn in 1991 to commemorate the one- hundredth anniversary of the awarding of the frst Ph.d. at Clark. the robes are emerald green with gold University seals on the lapels. these complement the traditional doctoral hoods, which refect the University’s graduate colors: white and emerald.

Gowns worn by Undergraduate students who receive their degrees with honors through the Undergraduate College include a gold cord.
