Most robes were black to symbolize the democracy of scholarship, since they cover any dress or rank of social standing worn beneath. Bachelors’ gowns are cut with long, pointed sleeves; masters’ gowns feature closed slit sleeves; and doctors’ gowns are full-cut with double-belled sleeves and bars of velvet trim. Some universities have authorized doctoral gowns in a single color representative of the institution, such as Barry University’s scarlet, Harvard’s crimson, Notre Dame’s dark blue, and Fordham’s maroon. The hood, originally a simple cowl attached to the gown, bears the heaviest symbolism of the academic costume. The hood’s lining displays the colors of the university that granted the degree. Silver, black, and red in the inner lining of the hood denotes a Barry University degree. The bordering color indicates the field of learning (or faculty) in which the degree was earned. The square cap, or mortarboard, originated in the 13th century at the University of Paris and came to England in Tudor times. Earlier caps were round and reserved for doctoral degree holders. This velvet cap is still worn by doctors, except those with degrees in theology. Doctoral tassels are usually gold and other degrees are represented by black, but in recent years tassels have come to match the border of the hood to indicate the field of learning.
