THE ACADEMIC COSTUME The wearing of academic dress dates back to the early days of the oldest universities in the world. In the American Counci l on Education's book entitled American Uni versities and Colleges, it is suggested that "gowns may have been counted necessary for warmth in the unheated build­ ings frequented by medieval scholars. Hoods seem to have served to cover the tonsured head ... " Throughout the years European universities have continued to show great diversity in their academic dress. American universities on the other hand, when they decided to adopt academic dress in 1895, immediately established a code of regulations which today is followed by almost all Amer~c an institutions. The establishment of this code has made it possible to distinguish the associates, bachelors, masters, and doctors and at the same time recognize the university which has given them the degree. Revisions to the code have occurred from time to time. THE UNIVERSITY MACE The associate's of arts and bachelor's gowns have pointed sleeves and are worn closed. The master's gown has oblong sleeves, open at the wrist. The rear part of its oblong shape is square cut and the front part has an arc cutaway, and is worn open or closed. The Doctor's gown has bell-shaped sleeves. It is worn open or closed. Cotton poplin or similar material is used for the associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees, and The Thomas Jefferson University mace, carried for the first time in the 1986 rayon- or si lk-ribbed material is used for the doctor's degree.

The President's Badge was created for the Inauguration of Lewis W. Bluemle, Jr., M.D., the third President of Thomas Jefferson University, on September 7, 1977. It consists of four official corporate seals of Thomas Jefferson University and the predecessor corporation, The Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia. These seals were used to mark diplomas, certificates, and other official documents and have been gold-plated to The mace, a grand emblem of the University's heritage, is carried at the head of form the Presidential Badge. all formal academic processions. The medallion on the President's right is the corporate seal of Thomas Jefferson University today and was created in 1969 when Jefferson Medical College became Thomas Jefferson University. It carries a contemporary likeness of Thomas Jefferson. . The other three medallions are the various seals that were used in Jefferson Medical College for many years. The oldest marked every diploma that was issued by the College from 1839 to 1967. This seal carries a traditional likeness of a young Thomas Jefferson and the founding date of the College as 1826. Prior to 1839 the diploma of Jefferson Medical College carried the seal of the Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania - the parent institution. . Another seal was developed in 1967 as a result of research done by the late Edward L. Bauer, Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics, who deter­ mined that the founding year of Jefferson Medical College was 1824 rather than 1826. This seal is identical to the present corporate seal except the words "Thomas Jefferson University" replace "Jefferson Medical College." It was used for only two years - from 1967 to 1969. The Presidential Badge is on permanent display in the Scott Library and is used at all convocations of the University.
