One Hundred and Seventy-Sixth Commencement of Muskingum University Cum Laude Academic Regalia Conferred at graduation to those with a cumulative minimum grade point average of 3.4. The wearing of academic regalia is a tradition of very long standing. The practice dates back to the earliest European universities, perhaps originating as much from the practical concern for warmth in notoriously chilly facilities as from the desire to recognize and celebrate the teacher and holder of an Colton Adair Nick Manocchio advanced degree. The level of the degree can be distinguished by the style of the gown and the cut of Khristina Audean Apalategui Sarah Adrienne McAninch the hood. Gowns are usually black. In American usage, the colors of the trim on the gown and hood Sydney Bash Jacob Milner indicate school and discipline: white for Arts and Letters, dark blue for Philosophy, golden yellow for Science, light blue for Education, scarlet for Theology, sage green for Physical Education, copper for Nicholas Bilyeu Garrett R. Mitchel Economics, and pink for Music. Nehemiah Bowie Allison Mudgett Kaylee Marie Brand Shiori Murakami Mary Heather Brooks Gavin T.
