History of Academic Dress

The origins of academic dress date to the 12th and 13th centuries, when universities were taking form. The ordinary dress of the scholar, whether student or teacher, was the dress of a cleric. In the days of Henry VIII of England, Oxford and Cambridge universities frst began prescribing a defnite academic dress.

In American colleges and universities, the academic costume is prescribed by the American Council of Education, and its present form was adopted in 1932. The frst suggestion for a uniform code was made in 1895, when an Intercollegiate Commission met at Columbia University and adopted a code of academic dress. The code regulated the cut and style and materials of the gowns and prescribed the colors which were to represent the diferent felds of learning.

Gowns: Those earning bachelor’s degrees wear black gowns with long, pointed sleeves. Those receiving master’s degrees wear black gowns with long closed sleeves (with slits for the arms). Those holding doctorates wear gowns with bell-shaped open sleeves. Many doctoral robes are also black, but some schools use robes in the school’s colors. Bachelor’s and master’s gowns are not trimmed, but doctoral gowns are faced down the front with black velvet and have three bars of velvet across the sleeves.

Hoods: All hoods are black and are lined with the ofcial color or colors of the college or university that conferred the highest degree. For today’s graduates, the kelly green and white on the hood denote Mercyhurst University. The master’s degree hoods are three and one-half feet long and closed at the end and are edged with three inches of velvet. The doctoral hoods worn by many of the faculty are four feet long with panels at the sides and fve-inch velvet edging. The color of the velvet hood trimming refects the subject feld in which the degree was earned.

Caps: Caps are black and stifened into the so-called mortarboard style. Each cap has a long tassel fastened to the middle point of the top of the cap. Bachelor’s degree candidates traditionally enter the ceremony with the tassel hanging to the right side, and move it to the left after receiving their degrees. For doctoral and master’s degree students, the tassel begins and remains on the left.

Entire Mercyhurst Faculty honored with 2020 Teaching Excellence Award

Each year since 1990, Mercyhurst University has recognized one extraordinary faculty member with the Teaching Excellence Award. In 2020, this prestigious award was instead bestowed on the whole Mercyhurst faculty to recognize the challenges they confronted during the COVID-19 pandemic and the quality education and care they continued to deliver to Mercyhurst students.

When Mercyhurst abruptly transitioned to remote learning, the entire faculty truly exemplifed the qualities that defne the recipients of the Teaching Excellence Award:

• An instructor who inspires, promotes, and sustains student intellectual development. • A teaching approach that is innovative, intellectually rigorous, creative, and engaging. • A dedication to going above and beyond as an advisor and mentor in and out of the classroom. • A teaching approach that integrates current scholarly and professional contributions into the classroom. • Commitment to creating a classroom experience that fosters critical thinking and independent inquiry. • A commitment to guiding a student’s intellectual, personal, social, and spiritual growth.

Faculty are at the beating heart of Mercyhurst and the university is blessed to have so many incredible teachers and scholars in its ranks. Congratulations to all of them.
