WEIR, JR., College of Pharmacy ACADEMIC HERALDRY The caps, gowns, and hoods worn at college and university functions date back to the Middle Ages. Monks and students of those days wore them to keep warm in the damp and drafty 12th century castles and halls of learning. The gown for the bachelor's degree has a semi-stiff yoke, long pleated front, and intricate shirring across the shoulders and back. It is primarily distinguished by its long pointed sleeves. The holder of a master's degree wears a gown with the same yoke effect as the bachelor's. The gown, however, is worn open, and the very long sleeve is squared and closed at the end, the forearm coming through a slit near the elbow. The gown for the doctor's degree is also worn open, and it has broad velvet panels down the front and three velvet bars on the large, bell-like sleeves. This velvet trimming may be either black, or the color distinctive of the field of learning to which the degree pertains. Generally, all caps may be of serge or broadcloth. In addition, doctor's caps may be of velvet and adorned by a gold tassel. The hood gives color and distinction to the academic costume. The hood - a black, shell-like affair of varying size for the three degrees and of material to match the gown - is silk-lined stressing the color or colors of the institution conferring the degree. The hood is then bordered with velvet of the color signifying the respective fields of learning. The colors indicative of the various fields of learning are as follows: Arts and Letters ...... White Library Science ...... Lemon Laws ...... Purple Education ...... Light Blue Philosophy ...... Blue Science ...... Golden Yellow Fine Arts ...... Brown Business Administration ...... Light Brown It is important to note that the field of learning having prior mention in the conferment of the degree, and not the department · governing the major work, determines the color that is proper for the velvet of the hood. Thus a degree conferred as "master of science in education" requires the golden yellow of science and not the light blue of education. Similarly, the doctor of philosophy degree requires blue velvet irrespective of the major field. If more than one degree is held, the gown and hood of the highest degree are worn.
