THE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SIXTH COMMENCEMENT Sunday, Ma) 23, 1999 eleven o'clock in the morning MCCARTHY si \i>ii \i NOTES ON ACADEMIC DRESS* The history of academic dress begins in the early days of the oldest universities. A statute of 1 32 1 required all "Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors" of the University of Coimbra to wear gowns. In England during the second half of the 14th century, the statutes of certain colleges forbade "excess in apparel" and prescribed the wearing of a long gown. It is still a question whether academic dress finds its sources chiefly in ecclesiastical or in civilian dress. Gowns may have been considered necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings used by medieval scholars. Hoods may have served to cover the tonsured head until superseded for that purpose by the skull cap. The cap was later displaced by a headdress similar to ones now recognized as "academic." European institutions continue to show great diversity in their specifications of academic dress.

The outlook is stable. The higher rating reflects the university's improvement of various demand metrics including selectivity and matriculation to levels comparable with peers along with the continued robust operating surpluses and successful fundraising which have improved financial resources over time. The endowment remains lower than similarly rated peers but we expect continued momentum from fundraising and operating surpluses to continue to prompt growth. The university also has no plans for additional debt at this time. We assessed Villanova's enterprise profile as very strong with growing enrollment, high retention, increased applications, and improved selectivity and matriculation. We assessed Villanova's financial profile as very strong, with a history of robust operating surpluses, growing financial resources, and moderate maximum annual debt service (MADS) burden.
