Academic regalia is a survival from the European monastic robes dating back to the 12th century. The Hood, worn by both clergy and students for warmth in drafty halls, was retained in specialized forms as an academic distinction. Bachelors’ gowns have pointed, open sleeves hanging to the knee, and Masters’ gowns have closed sleeves with the arm brought through a slit at the elbow. Doctors’ gowns have velvet facing down the front and full, bell-shaped sleeves, each trimmed with three bars of velvet. The black mortar-board cap is standard in the United States; Doctors may wear a gold tassel, but all others wear black. The hood is lined with silk in the official colors of the institution which granted the highest degree held by the wearer, while the color of the velvet border indicates the field of study within which the degree was awarded. Some of the latter are as follows: White – Art, English and History; Gold – Science and Math; Brown – Fine Arts; Pink – Music; Tan – Business; Lemon Yellow – Library Science; Light Blue – Education; Sage Green – Physical Education; and Silver – Bachelor of General Studies.

ACADEMIC REGALIA OF THE PRESIDENT The president of an educational institution is the focal point of the school’s commencement. For this reason, the president wears a distinctive gown unique to the institution over which he or she presides. The exclusive feature of the presidential gown is the addition of the fourth chevron to each sleeve. This honor is granted only to the individual who holds the rank of president of an academic institution.
