The day when the seniors complete By the preparation which they have thought essential for Dr. R. D. Sinclair the "commencement" of their careers, and when the other successful students advance one step toward the same coveted goal! For the seniors the commence- ment occasion is one of somber garments—black gowns and black caps with black tassels. It seems inconsistent that on this, their celebration day, they should be so abusively treated by the tailors. For the faculty, it is a time of dress parade. Gowns, caps (mortar boards) and hoods—used at no other time of the year and for no other occasion—are taken from moth balls, cedar chips, camphor, or tobacco, and aired for the gala day of the graduating class. There are two interesting fea- tures about all this gay toggery: In the first place it is symbolic of something; and also, though the gaudy garments may look as if they are worn only to attract attention, they have been hard-earned.

From this origin gowns, and hoods of today. This uniformity enables developed the customary use of elaborately ornamented anyone who understands the main features to tell the priestly robes, variegated military dress and decorations, baccalaureate degree of the wearer and the department kingly and queenly regalia, and costumes for pulpit and of learning in which the degree was taken; and the court. Likewise, from this ancient custom of signs, added variations in the costumes tell anyone who knows came our modern wearing of academic costumes.
